Short Talismans Poems

Astounding
                  Spanish talismans
                    In a wallet, are of 
                          No weight
                            Against 
                               God
The touches, brilliance His, glorious love!...

Listen to poem:

Ballads and candles of lyrical light
in stemmed yearning

breezes of ethereal pearl

shimmering translucence 
in a velvety damask

A celestial serenade ~
glittering gold, a halo of airy haze
An ostentatious cynosure, a wispy elixir

Calcite talismans and ethereal melody.
The cosmos is in harmony

zingy zest blasts in sapphirelike gaze
A flow dashed over the scary abyss.
an emollient erstwhile fugacious lyric...

Callously discarding,

talismans of heart and soul,

hastily scorching all bridges,

in a supernova burying me whole,

retreating into emptiness,

no salvation to be found,

sins too many to absolve,

drowning, in a freshly
dug hole in the cold ground.

Hollow, empty, barren desolation closes in,

asphyxiating me,

within the walls of my dismal room,

sinking into the abyss,

disappearing, fading, lost forever,

inside an emotionless,

vacuum...

Delta. I was the fourth child.
The delta connection of a
triangular love. No blues.
Only cottony belly.

My copper coins. I want to save
them for making talismans.
My arms are entwined like
a python around the neck of a medusa.

That hairy push of a trident.
The stinging tentacles. The
polyp was enlarging. Now the
snake was shedding the skin.

Statesmen. They change their colour
like chamaeleon. Prehensile
tail trailing behind the witch-
craft of black goddess.
