with threads of the moon,

roaming,
in her ruin.

Topsy turvy lives,
we lead.
We rare ones,
a special breed,
not all can be.
Sunrise is sleep, 
mid-day slumber.
The moon, our luminary.
We awaken 
with lengthening shadows.
Hallway haunters are we....

across night sky
fire  lit  luminary;
incandescent celebrity.
Ecstasy  of  enthusiastic  leap
is this long-jumper of heaven;
in sun’s passionate set
he earns his fame,
streaking.

Sun
         Celestial behemoth
  Radiating burning energising 
    Day star luminary satellite 
       Waning waxing wooing
            Silvery phantom
                   Moon

Renoir touched my heart,
my eyes, my soul, sighing lips —
illumined brushstrokes

~           ~           ~

Renoir touché mon cœur,
mes yeux, mon âme, soupirant des lèvres -
coups de pinceau éclairés

moon gleams the white teeth
flowers my lonely desolated heart jumps
reverberates with the rise

the bright luminary moon
timorous golden light forlorn
snake moves the caves empty

new soils fragrance of mud
rainy night intoxicated drunk poet
love sleeps on earth snoring...

     Tough-talking film-noir luminary, Humphrey Bogart.
     His distinctive snarling voice and lisp set him apart.
     
  Swept film noir leading lady, Lauren Bacall, off her feet.
Diminutive, sarcastic; played characters that packed heat.

The city slides
and sins creep
towards beautiful colors
leaning on cold, stone walls

A look steals a heart
silence screams
the alien weeps tonight
while the soulless breathe

Lost in luminary nightmares
and paper dreams
this place is just a pit stop
we'll gain much more when we leave...

Precious golden-orange, sky orb 
 who slumbers through the night.
Bathe me in your wondrous force
of energy and light.

Such a luminary, you be,
wondrous, warming star;
you rest light upon the trees,
though they’re near or far.

Oh, gentle aurora in radiant stream,
my joy beholds thy seductive gleam.

January, February
This moon is noon-sun bright
It’s luminary
Incendiary
And it’s glowing snowy white

Blue and green
And aquamarine
Are nature’s precious gems
A silver sheen
A golden gleam
Is seen in each of them

January, February
Contrary to this verse
We’ll sing what’s sung
When spring has sprung
In a garden of our words....

In the chilly hours of the graying gloaming,
silent shivers rise from the estuary.
Just before the waves churn in frothy foaming,
Goddess Moon approaches Her adversary.
Sun slinks away at Her approaching homing,
slowly shedding His cloak as Luminary.
She reigns all through the darkened and leaden night
until stubborn Sun returns, anew and bright....

The crown of the stars,
The night-goddess wears,
Brighter than the diamond studs,
Each luminary shimmers.

His bright rays and home in Heaven,
Leaves in oblivion the setting Sun,
Avid for union with the Night,
Adieus the sky bright.

The glittering Sun bright,
And the dark Starry-Night,
Aspiring for inseparable union,
The Unity of duality staggers imagination!...

FLOURISHING WITH ROSY CHEEKS

bright lights burn
singe my flesh
our hearts aflame

strokes of rays
from north to south
luminary climax

moon-cradled
in my spouse’s arms
splash of serenity

the dawn’s touchdown
taps my feet, flickers
caffeinated candlelight

another day burns
brighter than its ancestor
a relative blush

Divine union

The crown of the stars,
The night-goddess wears,
Brighter than the diamond studs,
Each luminary shimmers.

His bright rays and home in Heaven,
Leaves in oblivion the setting Sun,
Avid for union with the Night,
Bids adieu to the sky bright

The glittering Sun bright,
And the dark Starry-Night,
Aspiring for inseparable union,
The Unity of duality staggers imagination!...

Silk worms makes satin sheets
Ants in kitchen eating something sweet
Majestically

Butterflies flickering, flowing, floating
Rainbow wings glistening 
Sunshine providing sunlight vitamin- D
Solar clarity 

Arthopod bugs curculios
Crawling running flying
Aurora binary-star cockcrow
Luminary  solar sphere 
Masjestically

Oh, depths of oceans, eternal skies
Appearing now, before my eyes

I wish to thank you for your gifts
Without your beauty, I shan’t live

Oh, moonlit sky, eternal glow
With a romantic luminary show

Stills my heart to a slowing beat
Provides me warmth, increasing heat

Oh, nature as you’re gazed upon
I hear my heart sing out its song

A world of thanks it gives to thee
For all the beauty that it sees...

Scooped up a bucketful of dripping stars
Liquid lights luminary streaming down my arms
Pooling like electric muse gone melting in the wind
Leaving brilliant footprints in the places I had been
Spun my hair to flaxen with a single shooting orb
Glowing green too shocking for my brain waves to absorb
Slipping in a star pool while they bounced and realigned
Perhaps my days of star catching were simply in my mind......

Giant heart, relentless kindness to all she imparts 
Intelligent, bookish, fashion-smart,
Leader, plants her trail with dedicated grace and flair—so you'll follow.
Laughter, as tuneful as the airs of larks or swallows.
Inquisitive, indicator of a legal luminary,
Admirable looks and acuity sounds in sharp commentary.
Neoteric, check the artistry in her stare; note the future at the tip of her fingers.

Gillian!

Synchronized spirits sewn together by silver star strings
Like tethered twin flame torches touching, tinting
Beautifully braided bands of boundless bliss
Sensually seducing sacred sunlight, shining
Delicately dancing around disguised desire
Waxing, waning, wanting, wondering, wandering, withdrawing
Lustful luminary lingering, longing, lavishing love
Fearing freedom from fervency
Soulmates sleeping separately, sadly stifled
Why?
