Optimum of deserts
Optimism-provoking
Oozes with fresh fountains
Opulent sun and shade
One-of-a-kind place that
Offers relaxation...

On an odyssey trek,
overjoyed to find Zen,
oasis, green and lush,
overture of bird songs,
opalescent calm hues,
ornamental flowers,
otherworldly magic....

Oasis, gem of dune
Outshines dreary desert.
Obscure mirage lost in 
Opulent tranquil trove,
Opens vista of vibe.
Octave of breeze pulsates	
On opalescent lake....

sunset bleeds of gold

    etching opalescent clouds--

 till light turns to ash

Opalescent leaves fall
outside summer's green door.
Outbound, a year sparkles
once age has come with grace.
Orange sun, red roses
of a starry evening.
Old age looks back, dreaming....

pink pearls and peach dandelions
silently showing out with tiny slivers of fluff
winged faeries never looked more pretty
dripping opalescent wholeness
showing the world goodness
instilling hope, joy, and peace...

There is a beauty in lucidity -
when images are wondrously concrete. . . .
a butterfly’s opalescent wings 
unfolded on a shiny leaf - not flitting about.  
Poems that don’t elude
are the ones I choose to peruse....

A radiantly brilliant treasure
an opalescent afterglow
left a candescent residue
on my appreciative neck
hours after I had returned her
glorious moonstone face
to my grateful jewelry box
who is honored to house her...

Heart shaped Opal ring
Preludes deadly destiny
Stripping away dreams
Closing forever the eyes
From illusionated bride

As
A
Bubble
Coveted dreams
Waft in the ether
Illumining opalescent
Hankering yearnings in your sanguineous veins stream
Awakening the enthusiasm to wake up each morning with a sense of purpose

Opalescent sky cast a pink glow

As I walked slowly through the hourglass  of time

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere

I found your footprints on the sand

Spring water flowed  across the desert of my heart....

Outstretched are the heavens
Open infinity
Ornate spheres spin in line
Overwhelming wonders
Opalescent sparkles
Orbiting light's prime source
Organized with brilliance

Opals

October's fiery gem
Opals - stone pools of flames
Occlusions of white fire
Oceans of neon sparks
Orange fluorescence glows
Opalescent passion
Or Aurora's embers...

She wears a gown of saffron silk
bordered with black leaf lace,
the moon her silver circlet clasp
with sparkling stars encased;
she dips satin slippers in the sea,
we her opalescent footprints trace.

outside, an incomprehensible moon hover
behind wisp fingers gracious poise across vast sky

boisterous songbird-swallows touch by the tease
opalescent wisp of light prance around them

muffle yawning lull wild succumb to slumber
savor fresh breath beneath the vault of heaven

At times I am a dusty path
where soles of souls tramp over me.

Sometimes the helpless Lilly
bent backwards by a heavy breeze
that snaps the stem so easily.

But the times I am the tall majestic tree;
opalescent leaves full of fire;

then I am who I truly am-
my glory blazing brilliantly....

A rare snowfall has left
forgiving blanket over all.
It's covering up the litter
of the late untidy fall.
The morning sun is sending rays
to sparkle up the scene
of a winter white as beautiful
as springtime's luscious green.
The hills with their opalescent glow,
are splendid in new coats of snow....

A Chair

I am a chair
opalescent as a Constructed of wood or metal
I allow your buttock and back to rest
I allow you rested freedom
I am a form of relaxation
I have one back, four legs a seat
I am a chair

Bright opalescent sweeping wings of God's angels of
an airy region,
gleaming robed angelic legion,
such celebrant tidings of messages they bring,
promise of kneeling before the throne of the
Holy One, the Lion of Judah, they sing,
Hail our King, He we adore,
He has salvation for us in His Kingdom 
forevermore. ~...
