Upon vast romantic skies:
Rustic ambiance....

Where burgundy pansies blossom 
Amidst pearlescent violet-weeds, 
Whirling medieval rose's ode, 
In moon's lachrymose memories....

breathless, vibrant stars
glittering in rhythmic beats
with pearlescent glow

As
the
full moon
softly casts
its pearlescent light,
the world sleeps undisturbed tonight.
My heart throbs with yearning upon seeing Luna’s glow.
I see no star to wish on, but what I wish for is as distant from me as that moon....

Pristine, with my princes of peace.
            Undaunted, unassailable, unique.
            Pearlescent peaks.
            Samba's sensual, sounds 
            Lost are we~ in loveland's light.

Snakeskin in my garden
About two feet long
Flimsy iridescent 
Not very strong 
Uneven texture
Pearlescent hue
One inch around
What can I do
Looking for it’s owner
Must be bigger now
Reptiles not my favorite 
Wish it was a cow

Pearlescent sand glistens on your skin; I gaze into warm eyes;
their sheen is the radiant blue of waves caressing this shore.
As stars appear - glittering - I’m shimmering into you.

Come with me where wildflowers bloom
Among weeds in the meadow we'll dance
Each day we'll meet and hold hands at dusk
delighting in the change of colors in the sky
When the moon glows with pearlescent light
we'll spend the night beneath a million stars

parents release
tiresome grip
let go

kisses fly forth
in giggles
from lips

wings of angels
strung around
my neck

pearlescent glow
twinkling eyes
of grands

synergetic
euphoric
sweet love

That Night

The moonlight was
PEARLESCENT.
EVENTIDE had been
Long gone.
FERAL HOWLING 
Could be heard.
It was eerie!
And it CRIMPED 
my style!
There was a
TANG of 
Fear in my mouth!
The normal THRUM of a
Usually soothing
Was not!
It was all
PLUMB odd!

Silence shimmers in the twilight
Laughing with the stars
Dancing across the pearlescent moon
Awakening minds to insights
Into music of the soul
Breathless and wonderful, alive with hope

Our feet, wet and bare, marked our track
In pearlescent dew upon the grass
While, bright and fresh, the morning sang:
Two cardinals shrilling,
Autos crawling far-off,
And sun, bright as gold, warm on my face
When, there, in our garden,
Where lilies stood yawning,
I kissed your soft cheek
For what we had done....

Through beads of hope I gaze
elegant strong and brave
with greens and diamond blues a mast
off her petals pearlescent dew drops lie
fragrantly guiding a watchful eye

Honeybee yellow stings of fate
absorbing every ray of baby's breath
harmoniously humming
in a wholesome milieu
shifting boundaries cast away drear...

The green tea in its blue and white
porcelain tea cup is full of sunlight.

The dark eyed fortune teller’s
delicate hands
pass over the small cup -
swans skimming low
above a green pond.

 “She will love you forever”
she says,
one pearlescent nail
tracing my life in the tea leaves.

Then:
“but you will never meet her.”...

White

I am pale, head to toe
and if dying be a fading,
I begin my descent,
from easy pink to opal.

Pearlescent blood barely
floating now through veins
supplied by a heart not
eager for activity.
 
About to sleep, I hear my child
call from far away or deep inside.
Color resumes and I am
wearing ruby slippers.

Silent, piercing through the darkness
So alive with shimmering heartbeats
Stars scattered chaotically across the skies
Alive, dancing proudly under the dreamy
Moon, who breathes hope into the night

You whispered those words that made my heart silently shiver 
While my soul steadily began to quiver 
Wishing for a warm night that would last forever 
In realms where sun and moon will be cosmically together 
The romance that floats beneath oceans carrying diamond  treasure 
And Scars of moonbeams  will be veiled behind pearlescent pleasure...

celestial lotus       
illumines indigo skies ~
pearlescent white winter moon


fulgent faceted diamonds
radiant starlight ~
veiled and waning by morning


sunrise glimmers on the lake
dawn's paintbrush holds pastel hues ~
topaz reflections

Pearlescent moonbeams glowing
through the gathering mist
lights my way down a path of
emerald grass the dew has kissed

Ahead the lake just sparkles
aglow in that pearly light
An owl hoots from the old oak tree
his voice echoing into the night

This night now draped in shadows
as I stroll this path alone
a peaceful calm serenity
stays with me as I walk home....

Rans nets, which bind and trap.
Ensnare and incapacitate all who swim in the oceans of life
I tangle thy golden skeins.
Your pearlescent webs that move in the voids between the 9 dimensions.
Your webs of final fate that float and dance between the worlds.
Ensnaring everybody in the 9 planes and all existences
may your golden Webs ensnare the wrongs 
done to me and right them....

A solitary black figure
perches on a barred gateway,
surrounded by a softened blanket
of pearlescent white. Shadows
of color at play signal
a countryside alive in striking
impressions. The lowering afternoon
sun warms the winter sting,
surviving in the thievery of
the winged crusader in motion.
A musical interval marked in
the whispered silence of a
wintry snow covered landscape....

I am blooming in a landscape
Solar beams graze on the soft face
shimmering flushed flower colors.
 
Adorning my skin,
Freckles on sunflowers.

I bury myself beneath the tall grass
The breezes of march waltz in the heavens
To bestow heavy downpours
Would deliver pearlescent flowers.

To shout my heart out,
In the rich tone of April.

It is nearing on to a second spring night,
While twilight’s glow is coloring the western sky;
Brown horses are silhouetted against its brilliance,
Purple, lilac, coral misty and mysterious stripes.

Misty for the days' wispy clouds are floating softly;
Mysterious, the universe so sublimely spawned,
Eyes close across time's rolling like ivory dominoes falling,
Only to open again to a pink and pearlescent dawn....

R-eality and fantasy deliciously intertwine, with
O-pulent stars and pearlescent moonlight,
M-ystical pheromone tango and waltz,
A-ncestral hearkening to the lyrical
N-ewness of love. Warmth of rapturous embrace,
T-rill of songbird heartbeat - pulses flutter in
I-dyllic skies of amorous twilight, utterly
C-harmed by a pink tie and a blue rose in stiletto heels.
