Short Nacreous Poems

Cupid’s Arrow
Walking through the bar;
Her nacreous smile grew wide,
He fell to his knees....

through wisps of star dust she flies on nacreous wings her light burns so bright

Bright
leafs swirl 
rapt torrents
o'er harvest moon 
gemstone portent of
motley hued topaz glaze
nacreous in sullen haze
as grey dawn wail from tawny tree
house crib heralds wildlife orchard surge...

Abracadabra! Bountiful crystals drop effulgently from God’s heaven. 
Icy jewels kissing landscapes move - nacreous - over pristine quietude.
Refreshing souls, this unruffled, velvet white Xanadu yields zephyrs!...

Nacreous trees
reach into goldenrod skies
autumn wheat hissing, envious!
Tassels of crown hang, lifeless.
Queen of a barren kingdom
where silver suns trek horizons, 
never in reach for the looking glass
to swallow, and reflect,
inside out.
Another sunrise sets
all as the pearl harvest eclipses behind,
the apple of her eye....

As I search to adorn my naked thoughts in nacreous chic,
   
   breathing bliss and sipping soulful seas,
      
     my wild whimsy in wanderlust glides like an albatross

 seeking the iridescence of the abalone shell.

Foretelling nacreous cloud
In the midday sky
Mother-of-pearl
Beautifully priceless

Mother of Game smiled
Rainbow cloud sent by the ancestors
Announcing spirit would send animals
To the men tomorrow
A successful hunt

First rainbow cloud she had ever seen
Foretold by Wise Woman
Bringing joy to the tribe
The fire dance would be
Fantastic tonight
The elders were now
Starring at the sky...

PEARLS
rare stones
from grandma

adored and so loved
her gift on my debut
silky, ivory, treasure

"nacreous and iridescent"

                                     Cupid nacreous clouds
                                     Cradled near setting sun
                                     Creamy temple pillars
                                     Cyprus grow in spirals
                                     Cloud nine is for lovers
                                     Clasp me close in your arms
                                     Closer to the divine...

A little of the flaxen locks to twiddle,
Taken she melts to the thirsty lips,
En caged the liquid burning desire,
Knocks to navigate to my pleasure?

Ice flavors smack a spicy conflict,
Twits the tongue with exhilaration,
Liquid passion in a joyous hot mix;
Foreplay chides to move my gut.

The mystic chalice bumps with passion,
On the rocks to conjures a dream,
Nacreous crescent in seductive muse;
A hitch and she rests in solitude....
