     snowflakes scintillate
glissade upon winters breath
     white blanket facade...

spun from silver threads their hair 
is twinkling with spirit light 
Glints that scintillate, with love 
Angel's hair a flow

Purples



First Rays,
on horizon,
Mesmerising purples,
that radiate and scintillate,
Treasure !!

Fire is burning brightly,
flames cast gold shadows that 
flicker and scintillate.
Families gather as
fireworks explode in a
fabulous display of
fascinating patterns

Will you live with me forever
will you scintillate my dreams
Holding title to my wishes
the island in my stream

Will you live with me forever
in a fantasy so wild
Making love to the hereafter
—our one and only child

 To Thy  Own Light, Scintillate Bright
 Never Let The Sacred Ember dwindle down to size,
 Soar Ever So High, Shine the Brightest Of Stars
 towards Great and Luminous Bonfire Hearts,
 Press Forth, Ever So- Hopeful in the Darkest Of Nights
 By Mastery, By Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Life...

Dear Mr Green
I'll try my best
To grant this night
Your fond request

I'll scintillate
And play my part
To captivate
Her distant heart.

In hope that she
Will see the light
And think of you
This lambent night.

With gleaming stars
The skies are strewn
Your old accomplice -

Mr Moon

Shamelessly in front you strut    
in your flimsy swimming suit,
curves and cleavage exposing
aimed to rouse and scintillate. 

Stop! don't waste time on me
showing off what men had seen;
bare yourself and go naked,
you won't interest me still.

The flesh you fully reveal
is far from what I'm after;
it is the secrets you keep
that I want to uncover....

Esperance, where kangaroos saunter beaches
and turquoise waters lie like a boomerang
snared beneath a lapis sky and snow-white sand.
Coral pink lakes scintillate in golden sun;
which late will shadow bronze ochre fossil spumes.
Red-legged silver seagulls "kwee-war" overhead;
in the distance, surfers ride the Cyclops waves; 
children take an ice cream down in Hellfire Bay....

To Savor Silence – silken like the snow;
to scrawl my words, and yet to be sedate . . .
then scatter them to sky to scintillate
like stars that shimmer in a fireworks show.
To seize each sacred second – not to stray.
Once inside of silence, why slip away?
Embracing solitude, I take it slow.

I have imagined an encounter
with an Angel

Most likely, it will be
on some opalescent morn
when the lumbering gait of clouds
meets the raphsody of dawn with
ribbons of light

Where I, in some perennial field,
in sadness wait-

With a message aureate,
she will step blithely, and
O the sight of wings will scintillate
to coax from me, a new belief

There is more to life and dreams
than what seems transient.

Blue sky reflecting in the koi pond
Rays of the golden sun sparkling
Bringing koi to the surface
Wanting to be admired
Showing their colors
Glistening scales
Like rainbows
Colors
Gold

And
Orange
Tone breaking
Surface for food
Causing wide ripples
To float on the surface
Where embracing the sun rays
The koi pond rapidly glimmers
Like cut diamonds will scintillate.

'Roses from all nations scintillate in complete harmony' 
Beautiful birds chirp many wonderful melodies
The cool breeze blows through my hair
Bees buzzing, and neighbours humming
Oh what a wonderful sight it is
When the bright sun comes out to play
Its rays shine golden and shimmer away
The children play outside all day
A perfect day for a picnic today
Don't stay home, go out and have fun
Why it's sunny and beautiful
It's spring everyone!...

Watching the hills of emerald
above the cottage all aglow--
the night reaches a commanding lull
its talcum sand glints and shines,
a layered palette  to behold
where rocks scintillate, 
cascading through drips of dew .
I spy my bottle near wet marbles
and capture how the silhouettes play
contrasting the trees' grandeur, 
lustrous as  an artist's easel
holding the  tints of colors--
splashing an unusual arena.

We all have fires.
Some burn quickly,
Fiercely,
Until nothing remains
But ash and smoke.
Some fires scintillate
In the darkness,
Emanating a vermillion glow
As embers smolder.
Others burn endlessly
It seems,
Flames jumping up 
And retreating back down
In a dance that cycles 
Over and over again.
Some fires spread
Beyond the pit in all directions,
Becoming an uncontrollable
Force that leaves
The landscape charred 
And crumbling
In its wake....

The storm erupted
from a charcoal-bruised sky
lashing spindles
of platinum rain
upon an emerald heath
tossed in trenchant wind.

Among the hedgerows and linden
the first spires emerged
like shoots from turned loam
followed by the pitch
of tiled-stone roofs
and pewter walls
of lambent unblemished granite.

The damp auburn clay,
etched by a teal river,
birthed a soaring imperial city,
its cerulean patina to ever scintillate
in sun's timeless effulgence....

Mummy gave us bubbles to blow
We watch them dancing too and fro
Each bubble bursts we’re  full of woe
My brother pops some – I shout NO!


These transparent orbs, so debonair 
Their rainbow colors make us stare
They scintillate with grace and flair
As they rise and fall in the warm air
