One sweet, yet sour,

A tasteful melancholia....

A satire and melancholic smile 
And took up all the chairs....

I'm sunbird of the sketched skyline, 
Soaring across soft sheaths 
Of ebony moonflowers, 
Inhaling gossamer death, tonight....

A Little Grey Dog
I saw him from a distance, 
Melancholic little soul,
Sad petit cute face,
Lost soulful dog,
With eyes so ephemeral so real....

Melancholic skies

Skilled at hiding mournful eyes

Cry tears of April.

like a phoenix on blessed wing
free from restless melancholic woes
with clarity our passions sing...

Nature has put on her fllamboyant
dress of white and pink flowers
that spread a delicate scent
to liven up melancholic eyes.

Absent of melancholic on our faces 
Our lives larger than live itself

Larry the lamb loved to frolic,
While the others were quite melancholic,
He would stagger and amble,
Then leap up and gambol,
Like a totally smashed alcoholic!...

Premium Member The Last Whisky
One last shot 
And the bottle will be empty
The aroma and taste
Are superb like crazy
Far away, now you are,
In this melancholic night 
Do you drop me like 
The last whisky's bye?...

Angelic
Tell Heaven all angels should have harps,
with which their melancholic voices can resound.
As they sit there in Paradise,
admiring the view whilst enjoying perfection
and idilic after-life....

Regiments of Love
broken twigs of passion
melancholic summer
we spread under
coconut palms
whispering 
cotton caress
nipples like grapes
black currents
smell of the lake
turgid stems opening
regiments of love...

Undertaker
At the corner of my eyes,
Tears subside, left from the high,
Fueled by melancholic memories;
No time for goodbyes,
Likewise---forever they lie,
For the final rite, let me bury.

Evenly She Sighs
The heart in wonder wanders past the day of light 
clinging to the moon she harvests  her own bright 
and as the melancholic trees wave fast goodbyes
the soul accepts dismantles as evenly, she sighs....

Premium Member Piano Fantasy
A piano is heard in the hall
With melancholic notes that sound
As a farewell to two souls
That decided to take
Different paths when
Realized that
Fantasy
Was the
Rule
