Premium Member Melancholic

I'm sunbird of the sketched skyline, 
Soaring across soft sheaths 
Of ebony moonflowers, 
Inhaling gossamer death, tonight.

Denton's Harry Rutherford
sketched so never got bored
Star of BBC's Caberet cartoon spool
a master with Lowry in the Northern school

Premium Member Doctor Victor Frankenstein

Doctor Victor Frankenstein
sketched an impressive blueprint design, 
but that was just for starts.
He'd need to get some body parts.

Every Moment

Every moment that we have 
spent will be
Sketched into my heart
Embedded in my memory 
Painted in my pupil
Embedded in the scents of my 
nose

The design sketched --
shards of words and phrases 
lie in their trays  
sorted by colour 
and shape
to be fashioned into a new poem --
to dazzle and illuminate.
Form: Imagism


Painted Clouds

Cloud formations etched
                      with crimson aglow vanquish
                        angst, magic is sketched

Tides

As the tides roll in off the sea
Erased are the days memories
In sand many poems were written
Epithets sketched in bare feet-
Reading the unwritten-
Under the shade of fading willow tree

Gray Sky Falls

Paralyzed sunshine of the day, gray kissed skyscrapers in faint
Blurry dance stuck in the air as the dew pervades some occlusions
Day sketched gloom in beauty behind the droplets of breezy nimbus

A Broken Keepsake

ebony chalk sketched her soft silhouette,
       old keepsakes reveal heartache-
                        a broken easel mourns...

Lahaina

So far away 
(from me now)
But near my heart

So long ago 
(almost seeming just) 
Sketched enrapt memories 

There by a young mans adventure
(memories distilled to affection)
Still there now an older mans dreams

Premium Member Scars

SCARS Sketched upon the weary landscape Scuff marks of the cross Deep and wide The impressions of a timely death Tears that flowed from earthborn breast Pressed upon our Edenic chest 12/6/2017

Premium Member Simpleton Me

I pray upon my Knees 
I believe what I Believe 
I don’t care what anyone says 
My faith is Strong 
What’s written is Written 
If only on whispering wafers of Paper 
Or in Stone, or sketched in Clay 
Most likely, on my Heart
Is what I Say

Premium Member Once Was An Illustrator

Once was an illustrator, sketched portraits of famous peeps Mailed each 2 copies, one to sign and return, other to keep Received over a thousand Friends were totally astounded John Wayne, Donald Trump(?) and John Glenn just 3 of heaps
Form: Limerick

Painful Masterpiece

Onto the paper, leaks black unforgiving tears 
With every stroke of pain, something magical is displayed
Scars and scratches from an abusive defeat 
Cobbled thoughts sketched in the fibers 
Today, a horrible mess 
Tomorrow, the masterpiece you've been waiting for

Premium Member London Town: Primrose Hill

hampstead and the city 
 - as if sketched on
primed white canvas
appeared from on that bench 
divorced from time 
and standing still.

a london without colour 
 - ashen, silent, lying distant
seemed subdued beneath
the heat haze 
hanging down 
from primrose hill.

Spoke From Within My Heart

Held our Father's sophisticated art
I care
I AM there
Christ you are strong and Mighty
Lovely
Recovery
Discovery
Creations by the Divine
God knows the details of our lines
Who else would take their time
Making our unique design
God's heart we show
He sketched us you know

Premium Member Memory lane

on a broken night
marinated in lost thought
a pen with papers
tried many sweet rhyming shots
they sketched and screeched of weird creeps

never-named poems,
sang them to tunes, sold to fools.
then comes salty preach~
the damn nerve to rob and thrive
off a barely legal child…

Just the Two of Us

I sketched 
You, with words
To calm 

A weary heart 
To sleep tight 
In slithering night, but 
Your whimsy craving 
Echoed, sweetly
	
The breath 
Of Northern stars
Fetching us

Gallons of 
Scented 
Rain
Like wine, brewed with 
Gleaming pieces 

Of you 
And me
‘Neath a silky sheet

Premium Member Tryst

once two met in rain
to hide tears from prying eyes
and longing in mine

stole away in night 
to bargain locked heart's freedom 
you the only key

sat perfectly still
as I sketched it on my mind
the smile you promised

as showers subside
blossoms thirst in desert sands
til return of rain
Form: Senryu

Shadow Man

I am statuesque
And ink-blot dry
Shrouded black
In the blink of an eye –
An avatar
A figment – distilled
As a silhouette
On the canvas – stilled
And there suspended
By a gleam of air –
Crystallized
In a sunbeam’s glare –
Materialized, sketched and traced
By the shadow’s hand
And the sun’s embrace
sun

Premium Member Worm Hunting

Sunrise, a
lighter shade of gray
replaced a starless black.

Pines stand sketched -
one dimensional and sad,
shrugging - not knowing
if the day is
worthy of a smile.

While a robin adds
another twig to its
tightly woven hopes
as instinct whispers,

Worm hunting is always better
on a rainy morning.

Outside

~ Outside ~

In the darkest of rooms I felt for a door…
With a handful of keys I searched for more…
What has been taken or lost along the way…
I can still see in dreams where they live and play…
On a blank dismal wall I scribed a window to see…
I sketched a sunset in color and soon I was free…

Premium Member Fall From Grace

Fallen.

Down into the cold dark morass.

Earthborn once more.

Discarded.

From the warmth of your secret fires.

Out of grace.

Into the wilderness.

Love no longer mine to give.

Nor yours to have.

Requiem.

Into a labyrinth scene.

With shades of your face sketched in reverting dreams.
