A LITERAL IMPRESSION
Flowing
swirling swathes swarm,
fervent,fervid feelings-
stirring stark sensations once hid
within.

Crystalline
Wild swathes of manic hues
struck ghostly angst in me
a fireball ambience
ensued and my banshee
wail at bright splodge ink sky
shattered stained glass moon’s glee

tree sips summer sun
sizzling wind whispers to leaves…
still shade swathes scorched soil

Illusions,symbols of childhood,
coloured filled swathes of painterly
hues.A private fantasy in slow
motion suspended in space.An
abstracted blur in flashbacks of
yesteryear,caught in a daydream.

Flowing swathes swarm and wind
Bloom blush brilliant through my mind;
As expressions in outward flow
Stir sensations hid below;
Emotions made manifest arrayed,
displayed and essayed;
With poignant passion slashed
On my canvas unabashed.

night silk swathes the woods
lush leaves weave moonbeam lattice …

Whistling wind plays flute in
orchestra of air
where flying on music
birds in blue share.
Music flows rippling in
broken heart in despair
as stillness swathes soul
with bliss so rare.

Your flamboyant of a heart is of glass shards and ice
That stings like frostbite and slices like a vice
To your prey, everything seems like a perfect price
A beautiful contagion that swathes but smothers
Expels lucidness or causes demise amongst others

Prose Poetry
Sun’s hue drapes my dying day,
twilight tinge makes a painting
of life new from shades of gray.
Stars sparkle in crown of night,
silver dust spreads on sorrow,
swathes the scars with delight.

I can feel your presence,
I can feel your touch,
As I close my eyes to the darkness,
I can feel your warm breath softly brush,
It swathes my being,
It engulfs my soul,
Lost in an abyss of pleasure,
Desires of the flesh have taken control,
Nothing is sacred, nothing is taboo,
Lust is the power, the wisdom and the fool.

Sky,
Blue sky blue.
Curves over a kiss
Between we two.
While at sea
Pulsing in every wave.
Swathes us
In its infinite sigh.
And gulls glide silent;
Fade like feeble faith
Into evening.
That prelude to night's tide,
Whose waves break me,
Break over me.
Washing up
On the shores of my dreams,
The memories of a kiss.
And how sweet
Good-bye tasted.

Astound me with visual auroras
swathes of rainbows in chorus
that leap across lofty skies
strange intriguing patterns that rise
iridescent visions of midnight forests.
Mind bending colors turn sinister
haunting hues no longer minister
I awaken from dystopian dreams
seeking solace from simple means
I bask inside sunlight’s perimeter.

that crab nip
upon fingertips
as sunlight tilts his hat
and nighttime makes his start
drinking liquid
from the passing breeze
unanticipated tremble of the knees
Squawked yawn as seagull retires
and sound swathes
its way
through quicksand air
Slip your chill
past neckline
nomadic course down spine
Wrap your silk cotton
darkness around
safe but unsound
unfound

Gloom descends upon my head,
Think it will never end.
Paint brush comes out,
Primary colors flit about.
Across the canvass in wide swathes.
Inked in buildings,
Some don't last.
Of towering structures covered in paint,
Green shadowed yards are so faint.
Clouds slashed across the sky.
Until the gloom is buried,
Behind the missing windows eye!

For some reason
I woke up feeling
extremely good today
it feels as if removing
a layer of silk veil
shrouding my face
allowing it to just float away
like a dead autumn leaf
Seeing a bit clearly
the umpteen possibilities
opportunities
swirl in my mind's eye
all I have to do is make
an option, just pick
where I go and what I do next
over time, I hope to see
swathes of silk cloth
laying softly at my feet.

Prose
Where hazel bushes mix with sturdy oaks
and beech trees densely grow in shades of green
the fairy flowers come in early spring
attired in clothes of violet-blue sheen.
The swathes of bluebells, like a sheet unrolled
before our eyes, breathtaking to behold!

With each screaming note of pain
The darkness fills her broken frame
insipid oil glints and gleams
and streams
like blackened rainbow dreams
each pitch change
her quest for enlightenment
almost spent
but continues without pause
as darkness buries knife claws
Fingers forged in burning hours of lost childhood
But still stood
as darkness swathes her hopes
dreaming of the imperfect note
that will make her stop

on brink of summer
an eager Painted Lady
first to the party
drifting pollen swathes
golden contours round wood’s edge
fox cubs exploring
festooned with blossom
blackbird trills in paradise
serenades his world
ladybird in rain
slides down slippery palm frond
tiny splash in pool
nature varied in its forms
a wonderful world adorns

ABSTRACTED
an elegant
obsession
transformed
from the absence
of light
beyond black
a
created complex
of smoothness
in
surfaces
absorbed
by
reflected light
so
hard to exploit
a
fascination
with luminosity's
potential
to create
to juxtapose
&
overwhelm
in swathes
of
the
normal
such
a
duality
of
the
delicate shadowed
then
merge
to
a free rein
in
interpretation
of
notions

The grass waved hello
the birds called back.
Telegraph poles stood still
like tall slender trees.
the birds liked that.
the crickets a constant tickle in the ear,
swathes of brown grass bouncing back after drought,
three troughs haphazard on a patch without
any grass. Bare dark earth.
the raven makes its cry
under a bright grey sky,
on a swampy, sweaty day .
my dog companion at my feet
"Come on then, let's go home."

as swallows land and swifts take flight
inside late noon’s last shards of light
the chill winds that descend on day
cause dense green swathes of reeds to sway
across the flooded vista’s ground
in harmony with nature’s sound
of shrills that echo through the air
from birds and insects everywhere
while stars with room to breathe and shine
light up a land divorced from time
to show the beauty and true worth
of life in balance here on earth.

ABSTRACT DREAM
An
abstracted blur
in flashbacks
of
yesteryear
caught
in a daydream
illusions
symbols
of childhood
coloured
filled swathes
of painterly
hues
A private
fantasy
in slow motion
suspended
in space
OPEN VERSE using spaces&breaks/no grammatical symbols /relying on 'the one breath limitation'/this intuitive cadence permits the 'reader' (reciter)to respond in an interpretative-interplay unique** to the ' happening moment'
