Words unspoken speaking volumes

It is just August,
days dusty and hellish hot,
but I don’t notice.
A mercurial Virgo, 
I might change my mind....

Beyond sexuality
Love trumping weakness
—truth beyond lies

Agent Orange
Tinging lush, green foliage
Breath-taking shadow
Swallows mercurial moon
Invisible orb hovers

A fragile vase, a volcano's wonder,
Mercurial temper, brewing like thunder.

Herpetic in nature, a painful key,
A brief sabbatical, one's only remedy....

Your fascinating disposition,

My narcotic fixation.

You’re a mystical enigma,

A kryptonic ataxia.

My peculiar constitution,

A mercurial condemnation.....

Mercurial Freddie, quicksilver 
he was-- beautiful enough 
to give you pause.  Who 
is the fairest of them all? He 
of the life size poster on 
my bedroom wall....

'Tis said that Mercury is in retrograde.
Is it just an astrophysical charade —
An illusory cosmic joke being played?
Is the wee beggar's energy bill unpaid?...

Gemini
the twins
mercurial
creative
wildly enthusiastic
my identical twin and I
both dancing to our own flutes
born in May
living up to our star sign
in opposite directions...

Mercurial, mischievous minx
Amphibious air swirling in turquoise tang
Ribald thief of restrained relief
Capricious caress in cobalt clouds
Hale blown heather tickles the daffodils' flaxen dress.

Infidelity (Naani Form)

When Love, in mercurial flight forsakes
The heart that it once cherished
Tears that flow leave
Vows and rings...tarnished.

I am deaf to words
That should come 
From an addled brain
And mercurial soul
words came and words went
But the page remains blank
no words fell from pensive hands
this  is the poem that 
I will never write...

number thirteen, the angel number
reminding me my guides are here
advising, blessing, warning of dangers
bringing me high energy, dexterity, mercurial quickness
insuring my creativity, resilience and flexibility
number thirteen...

Darker seams regally gleam
Sea's turquoise waves glow
Tanned bodies in shadows bask
Neon boards surf strew
Mercurial strobe
Sky's coppertone beams hover
Moon's palling pale globe

Wildflower in bloom.

Mercurial swoon.

Under mid summer's moon.

Lunar contrast.

On earth toned skin.

Painted us azure.

As souls stirred within.

We owned it.

If only for that moment.

Lamented in time.

As life follows no design....

Tributaries of thought become rivers
which run deep...and slowly;
rapid...and passionately,
until their confluence becomes
one infinitely miscible flow
--dynamic, yet less mercurial,
because their width and depth
are too immense to easily
           dilute...

Lenora a delicate lunar soul
Mercurial, magical, mystically sound
She appears in my dreams, showing a kindness
Unheard of on earth, or in heavenly realms
Lenora, a beauty who prances forth in the dreams of men
And entices women to become better than they were yesterday...

born end of May
she is mercurial
dances like a pixie
fights like a pirate queen
loves like a tiger

her words are effervescent
her presence is welcome everywhere
she is clever, cunning, wholesome
some are frightened of her enthusiasm
joy exudes from her pores
she is Gemini...

A nuisance of echoes
a state resonates with
I don't know whether it
is nothing
claiming too to bake
cakes 
listen now to masquerades
repeating nightmares gossips
as some things
those too impersonating
the world's times
on clocks
ahh! they make noise
perhaps to reap heaps....

She was mercurial
moving swiftly and purposefuly
Elusive and clever
her wit was bottomless
the quintessential Gemini woman
no one could capture, edit or disillusion her
she was imaginative and fun
She had concrete ideals
the dragon was her power animal
guarding her chameleon mind...

THE BOTTLE FLY 
HARMLESS AND CUDDLY 
IN IT’S LUMBERING BEAUTY 
ALL METALIC 
LIKE THE COOLER PLANETS MUST BE 
SHINY GREEN AND BLUE 

NUZZLES ME AS I LAY ON THE FLOOR 
PASSING AWAY 

WATCHING MY MERCURIAL FREIND 
GRACEFULLY AND WITH GREAT CARE 
WALK 
ON MY 
STILL 
BRISTLY CHIN...
