Sunsetting After Storms

ruptured skies embrace
shooting stars as violet seeps
into seams of earth 

as sunlight retreats
into milky ways across a
constellation night

Premium Member Utopia Untainted

in a colorful array
love comes to life
in its bold magnificence
from the inexhaustible grandiose
to the infinitely humble

My Love, I Love

you are as beautiful as a sunset on a tropical beach,
your hair is the sea as it flows with the wind,
your eyes sparkle in the light of the sunsetting like pearls in the water,
your smile is the only thing i could ask for,
my love,
i love,
you

Black petals

like silk on lip
falling soft on tip
pushing further till rip
Shes like black petals 
a rose plucked too soon
a velvet sunsetting moon
a kiss and a hint
she melts within it
like black rose petal
I kiss her gentle
like love too soon bloomed
a sunset and a moon

It twists and coils
 under a microscope
double stranded
  the dance of life
in genetic code
  dense with mystery
replicating sequences
  promising secrets ~
in essence of identity

Premium Member Summer Glitter

august sunshine
bringing out
the last glimmer of summer
the glitter in her hair
the radiance
of her smile

goodbye summer skies
the perfect backdrop
for her childish charm
and laughter

Premium Member The Deep Well

remembering nostalgic days when
idealists aspiring to feel zen
would immerse in ink their fountain pen
to inscribe deep poems now and then

Premium Member Dark Thoughts

If there were no poetry or words as art
Who would hear the music in my heart
Would my muse fight to find its way
Or in atrophy die and simply wash away

Premium Member Destiny

a lonely melancholic caterpillar
wrapped up in its tiny little universe
with its teeny caterpillar dreams

single-mindedly oblivious
to its own destiny
unaware what journey lies ahead

clueless of its fate to soon take flight
on emancipated wings
of a regal monarch butterfly

Premium Member I Knew

I woke before sunrise
Beauty all around me
An overwhelming silence

I sat and took it in
Food for my soul

The loon called out
From the stillness of the lake
I knew I was at heaven’s gate

Sensory Overload

The sound of your rose petal blush sunsetting on your face 
Feels like my goosebumps dancing on the sky tops of my skin
The smell of your mountain rain hair crying sounds like a mid-day summer shower
The look of curiosity cuts in the middle of my gaze and feels like a conversation I can’t wait to have
Your presence is such a gift to my senses I become overstimulated in nerves
p.s. can we just pause this moment before the laws of dialogue are written…
