Apples On Our Rock

There once reigned a great king on our Rock
Who dared the West and defied their bloc
Dark shades, face of a frown
Short brute so wanted down
Down, oriental appples on our Rock.

East Meets West

When a Continental 
Met an Oriental,.
He thought it detrimental 
To his mode of life.
But soon this Occidental,
Growing sentimental, 
Wed the Oriental,
And she became his wife.

Paper Swans

singing
oriental songs that
capture
popular imagination.

Drinking cocoa along
the Yodo and
Osaka is far away.

The bullet train is real
it's the pain you feel
that may not be.

The Same

He swept her off her feet
from the land of the spices,
so she could spice his life.

Years passed;
her oriental richness faded.
He was still cold and unchanging.
He remained the same.

Outcome :: Oriental Octet

Nature only gives never demands return from its users; while no animals destroy nature, but human solely ruin natural richness for personal gain, outcome indicates climate change. ~X~X~X~

Premium Member Soy Sauce

Dark and salty
Liquid enhancer for taste buds
Oriental Asian Far East
Exotic ancient flavor brew
Spice up bland to grand
Rice meats sea food soups and stews
Soy sauce
Just a dash
More with a splash
A dunk
Mmmmmmmm good.

Oriental Mist

Oriental Mist
yellow empire glows
as fall’s colorful leaves
float down like gentle
rain on the lake
covering the rolling 
and lulling waters
nothing fake or dead about 
this season as love grows
under our moss covered
oak tree

Premium Member Shaved Ice

It is like a rainbow in ice.
Its sweet flavors taste so nice
There is lemon, lime, orange, and cherry.
Along comes grape, pineapple, and raspberry.
This frosty treat is an oriental specialty.
What a nice treat on any kind of day.
Come try some shaved ice today.

Gothic Ropes of Pearls

White  house  picket  fence  garden
Black hair kohl eyes  blue rose lips 
Chef folding egg whites into souffle
Defrosting preparing cooking lunch
Sculpture of a laurel-crowned  bust
Oriental  rugs  bare  wooden  floors
Inhale   a   sweet  antique  floral  air
Chink  iced-tea glasses Dominoes

The Maiden Or An Oriental Poem

She would keep her tears in a crystal and silver perfumer, 
along with jasmin and rose water.

Whenever she assisted weddings,
she was perfumed with a few drops.

Drops of grief disguised as joy.
Drops of virginal scent perfume; 
but in fact, tears spilled.

By the luck of the bride
by her own luck.

Premium Member Stargazer

Amidst greenery Such beauty abounds in bloom Reaching to the sky This Oriental Lily Shows gorgeous colouration . The Stargazer lily was created in 1974 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder in California. Woodriff called the new cross 'Stargazer', because the blooms faced towards the sky.

Beach Glimpse

I love to watch the ocean blue
The white and gray seagulls diving and dipping low
Schools of fish swimming in neat oriental rows.

Grills setting free the smells of wonderful food cooking
While guests on the beach stand on looking

beautiful sun rays catching ripples and making them gleam
this is the happiest ive ever felt, so it seems.
Form: Couplet

We Are All One Or None.

The whiteness of snow,
The tanned golden glow,
The beautiful deep colour of *****,
The enchanting eyes only the oriental know,
The wonderful diversity in which we grow,
The glory of the human in this poem I show.
To enjoy diversity is spiritual catalyst,
To enjoy the division is racist...
We are all one or none...
... ... the human race.

The Abbess

The abbess

Blue-eyed prayers drip from
lips white as snow on a mountain top
her face is oriental alabaster.
Restless feet on stone floors
Every candle becomes a temptation 
a magnetic attraction.
Over the wall, she will not flee 
Faithful as she is to her abstract lover.
When desires leave her
and her steps are ponderous 
she is the new abbess.

A Dream

Where it takes me
I do not know, there is no plan
Where it takes me
Another world perchance to see
To tunes upon the pipes of Pan,
And swirling oriental fan,
Where it takes me.

Where it takes me
Through stars that shimmer arcane blue
Where it takes me
My soul rejoices, dancing free
Enchanting voices singing too
And magic streams of something new
Where it takes me

A Little Bit More About Me

I love the brazilian girls
  with a beach flavor,
  French with
  taste of champagne,
  Arabs who smell
  camphor, oriental
  that smell  peach ...
  Who wants to be my friend
  must not come up with subterfuge,
  come with sincere friendship,
  not with real state or property ...
  My asset are not
  of this world ... my kingdom
  it's much deeper, is
  unlimited universe

Premium Member Playing With O This Morning

Oceanic octopus south of the border
Eight elongated tentacles in a ripe order
An organic obstacle to outrageous pirate queens.
Housing grizzly omnivores and oily other things.

Overwhelmingly ostentatious in the oceanic sea.
Oxymorons galore; floating in Earl Gray’s English tea.
Brown oxidized treasure chests gliding in the water.
Oriental spaceships spelling out watch out daughter.

Premium Member Keeps On Livings-

Sentimental Journey
Ordinary bologna
Sleep on the gurney
You are so lonely
Keeps on living

And yet you live 
yes you live
Keeps on livings

Oriental kaboom
Religious diamonds
Walking on Waters
Disowning a sons and daughters

Man-made religions
Wrongly made decisions
Keeps on livings

Yes you keep on giving
While you keep on living
