Short Skylines Poems

Vatican City,
Protruding Roman skylines;
The jewel in the sky....

Sunset cascading 
bluffing mountains, 
Dainty skylines the moon undress
Beautiful mother nature....

of that fine day,
mornings magnificent brawn
and beautiful bay,
whose skylines soon would yawn,
a break of dawn...

I grasp the skylines merging 
With the horizon
     just like you and me!

etched in own minds eye
blazing trails of fire - engulf
the midnight skyline






Tribute To 
Beautiful Skylines...

Fantastic splashes,
congruent skylines,
lavender horizons.
Deepen your soul, 
as weightless as light,
under the lemon sun....

Here lies the whistling hollowed bones of lovebirds 
Entrenched in storm torn skylines
Set flight amidst torrents
Breaking body and soul
Failing to find the fervent love in them in others...

I look, I stare and I wait
until your eyes meet my own
and my heartbeat skylines all the way up
you look away, I come back down
and I stay put expecting another hit
one more glimpse of blue
another taste
of sky....

I dream of crimson early evenings,
of smoldering clouds of afterglow

I share the longing of stray pigeons
for home skylines they dearly know

I wish to fly away from the nightmare
of the truth of me here in death row!

New beginnings seep, twilight
etches skylines chilled.. 
Receding montages fade
into blue distilled
licked by comet's tails
caressed by the milky way,
a balm for what ails

Tireless nights
Draped menacingly in
Blankets of black
While stars guide the way
And moons glisten softly
The aftershock of a feeling
Leads only to rocky roads
Lifted up by our hands
To hide those words
And walk away from that
Hope in skylines...

A prophecy arose
Within the silhouette of dawn
how the hollow skylines pirouette
along fate’s bowels
gliding in smooth succession
Whilst sampling memories
of Japanese cherry blossoms
moths fervently surround
Diverse symmetries 
of porch lights
Reveries...

From the silent lips
That birthed the nightmare
‘twas heard round the universe
The infamous speech ‘tis dusk
Fabricated insomnia’s silhouette
the hands of time living
In naked draughts of infancy
adorning the skylines
With theatrical chases
Fostering handsome fairings...

Sensual , seductive, slender : smiling siren
She sits silently staring : seeing sapphire skies
Sun’s scarlet shadows , slowly sinking  silhouettes
Shining stars sprinkling skylines : systematically
Sunday sermon speaking : Searching souls singing
Songs , seeking : SALVATION...

Dream 
sweet plumes
of turquoise
moonstone canvass 
as purple cloudburst choirs ear worm skylines
or blue-tailed godwits nail scrape rose quartz mounds
jack-o'-lantern
usher peeps
at closed
eyes

Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond dreamscapes....

Pitch Dark Rain: Apocalyptic

vanished polar ice
oceans’ currents all askew. . . .
skylines blaze scarlet

comes a scathing wind
scorching land left not immersed. . . .
waters turn crimson

moans escape parched tongues
prayers ascend to ashen skies. . . .
pitch-dark rain pounds down

Endless fields of possibility
No horizon or clouds
The bountiful beginning
Nature plows and sows
Landscapes mingle
Rolling hills move closer
Ocean shorelines surrender
There are no boundaries
In the canvas of skylines
Just blending randomness
The clarity of two planets 
Moving into polarity,
The exquisite orbit of 
Unconditional seduction
In a perilous dance they
Move closer and closer....

Another sleepless night 
spent avoiding 
the subject.

In a tantric state 
our oceans are diesel, 
are always burning 

under bursting skylines 
scraping the gills of a bloated fish, 
from out of which

a silky soot always spills.
Blame the hook or blame the derrick –
soulmates rigged the match.

Time’s brush paints the canvas 
of a year untold with precision;
Fine details and soft strokes 
take on an emotional outburst;

Of a year untold with precision
the clock accentuates highlights 
shaped like roller coaster skylines;

Fine details and soft strokes 
joyous freestyle of highs and lows;
Abstract design’s the buzz of life;

Take on an emotional outburst 
with a brand new color palette;
Coast on all of the chaotic shades....

A beloved friend enticed my senses

Appeasing whines with tasteful tunes

Awakening amour at heights of suspense

To serenade me as spry I shall swoon



Euphonies swallowed my bones

Delighted be I to ever have found

Divine obscure ways to atone

Ghastly memories quite profound



Triumph has monopolized tribulation

Along hollow skylines nimble she fleets

Colloquies spewing frost shan't stand elite

Taunted be grief by elimination...

Though our minds sail and soar across
     one and the same borderless Ocean,
          our feet get wet as we wade along
               its many and different
                                                   shorelines...


And though we look up rapt in awe
     at one and the same breath-taking Sky,
          we view and we know each other through
               its many and different  
                                                   skylines!...

Ancient fortress, the wind carried to me your silent call,
Commune with your warring deities way deep in my soul.
Rooted among the scarred ruins strewn through the ages,
On thy hallowed ground I stand to pay my humble homage.
Parthenon, implore Athena to shield the shining city
Over whose skylines you kept watch for centuries.  
Like an eagle surveying this Hellenic kingdom
In majestic splendor -  now and forevermore -
Stay regally proud, mighty and strong....

S prawled beneath a line of stars, bright
P ulsating in varnished luster
E ndless jewels gleam, to ignite
C radled breaths as skylines flicker,
T eetering on mid evening’s hue...
A nd neon fireworks dash in a glide,
C lusters waltzing in blazed revue
U nmatched by shadows that divide;
L ight of moonglow, black of wind-streams
A s flashed novas explode up high,
R eeling on, till blinks fade..goodbye.

Stand before you take a bow,
think about us then and now.
Grant the sun another set
to polish this serrated day.
Show me what you can deduce
for splintered love we thrust obtuse.
If merged as one we do attempt
to leave this path we've led astray.

Do redeem the wayward doe,
with staunch eyes on grievous crow,
haunting skylines absent truth;
The once divine, nevermore.
To perceive pure innocence
is to pursue true penitence;
birthing promiscuous saints
from every celibate whore....
