Premium Member Faint Path

Opaline twilight gathers softly at the edge of the evening sky;
I raise the shadow lantern, and its dim glow settles into stillness;
Following its faint path, I discover how quietly the brave heart shines.

Opaline

Translucent and absorbing light
Opaline and burning
A piece of farther norther glass
Death and nightmares earning

Silhouetted against the dawn
Flashing in mid-sun’s light
Laying on the burning sand
A crystal piece of night

Premium Member Bracelet of Stars

Gems adorn orange moon, bracelet of stars Sinks crimson sun. Bullfrogs, in twiggy marsh. Swirling in space, stars chase opaline darkness, On forever road, illuminated in hued sharpness. Green is moonlit valley, sunset, star crowned, When bracelet jingles, felt upon solid gound.

Premium Member Brain Harmony

Skies cast an opaline tone on the periwinkle From the outbreak of numbness In the clangorous concord of the brain Phantasmagoric cosmos of phantasms Fully loosened by pennilessness and distress Where genuine life dwells just as a nightmare Strident sound singing a somber song

Morning Pearl

opaline oyster 
     pricelessly squeeze milk
          into allspice tea
             silvery hair gleams
                     cream floats ivory —
                            pearl last crumb of bun

Adorn the Night

My love, I call you opaline;
you dazzle like a jewel,
extending passion’s brilliant hues,  
when chill of night seems cruel.  

My iridescent evening star,
adorning canvas sky,
I know your fiery radiance
and ache to feel you nigh.

Ocean Walk

under a delightful moon
      air silvermist due to drizzling rain
  a pale patina rode wavetops
              of the mystic sea

creamy waters washed across my feet
depositing opaline conchs, whelk egg cases
    and bits of purple fan coral
  oceanic generosity
          fueled my thankfulness
      as the horizon's apricot blush
                  announced sunrise

Stormy Monday

Sheet whites billow into balloons
then thin to sickled moons; light
oozing out in an opaline Day-Glo…

Rich mist spreads, spraying wider
milk-bright swirls of a snowstorm…
Yetling wind turns into yeti, crazy!

Mountain’s giant sham
of eiders’ fluffy-soft; so 
newly hatched penguin,
deep-dives into ice-bird:
A hard-beaked miasma
yielding as diamond ply…

Iridescent Colours




Winds whip, murkiness masks the blue,
Pearlescent clouds hurry,
Birds raise their pitch to suffused hue,
Whole scene appears blurry,


The coherent torrential flow,
Pellucids opaline,
Iridescent hues in rainbow,
Brewed to get perfect wine!

Premium Member Lustrous Alabaster White

Nacreous and opaline iridescence
Scattered through my gated garden
Million white tendered blossoms

Oozing intoxicating perfumed bursts
Most divine exotic jasmine
Beaded lily of the valley

Melodramatic calla lily
Trumpet playing lilium
Oversized amaryllis

Inspirited hyacinth
Lotuslike magnolia
Tall spiky foxgloves

Rock garden candytuft
Innocence of baby’s breath
Exalting nacre for my opalescent muse

Ocean Treasure

Oh ocean of that long-gone embryo
Careening stormy erratic, to pacific
Ever sculpting in navy-wavy trance
Atop your peaks diamond ambrosia
Never-never dreams, you've grown ~

Troughs, they stripped fear’s heart
Rendering a wanderer, now braver
Enameling away sea-shine opaline
as Nautili curling their striped sola
Soak me up to float down in blues
undulating in the sunk, spilled sou
roughened in a barnacle-concealer

Estuary-rich, unfurl the flowing life ~
