Swells ultramarine
Plethora of life in-between
Shipwrecked graveyard scene...

Lying on the floor
Ultramarine green haze
Broke bow home to fish

Umbrellas add color
Ultra Pink makes me wink
Ultramarine so blue
Umber dull for gray days
Unmellow yellow grand
Urobilin royal
Unite on rainy days  ...

CHOCOLATE melts in my hands,
so I eat an OLIVE instead.

While smelling the pungent scent of LAVENDER
ORCHIDS soak up the sun.

Reflected off an ULTRAMARINE sea,
the evening is ROYAL PUPRPLE....

a velvet brocade of ultramarine
hushes melodic whispers stirred from the gardens
where lovers prolong their goodbyes

I took my Cobalt,
And mixed with Ultramarine,
To lay in this painting,
The color of this love.

Setting the mood in this piece,
This color so cold and real,
Here on my canvas,
The color of my tears.

Once sunlit bright,
Now somewhere between Midnight and Navy,
Since you have been gone,
The color inside me....

Whispers of sweet nothings through my ears
Roaring yet soothing tunes interrupted my veins
Small boats abiding the collision of fears
Abandoning the bundled senses of pain

The briny tang became acidic to the heart
With coral and ultramarine that entwined violently
A hurricane of wolves galloping like surreal art
I fall back, drowning into the depths of vibrancy...

Solitude of Iris Incense Nightfall

Still solitude drips saffron in sunsets
Twilight tinsel tames tangerine tempests
Lilac lullaby lilts lulling lyric –
Diadems of daydreams dulcet delight
Offers ochre cheerful companion of calm
Unruffled ultramarine universe
Ebb of eventide in ebony escape

ILLUMINATION 

a school-ager swings
PAST the emerald trees
to crystalline stars
she aims high
with outstretched legs
heart pounding

she jumps landing
soundly on sensible feet
in the PRESENT
wise with solid roots
climbs the tree of logic

bumbling into the FUTURE
a scholar’s taken a beating
the ultramarine sky calls
she covers herself in yarn
colorizing stars with needles

I took my Cobalt,
And mixed with Ultramarine,
To lay in this painting,
Quiet easily seen.

Setting the mood in this piece,
This color so cold and real,
Here on my canvas,
Coloring the tears I feel.

Somewhere between Midnight and Navy,
Not only the color that I see,
But since you have been gone,
The color inside me.

I am a Nightingale…
 singing a song of lavender dreams and hopes, under an ultramarine canvas blending turquoise sky and sapphire ocean, 
                          twilight moon flickering ribbons of love, 
my audience - the pearlescent clouds, gleaming stars, souls with a poetic heart!

Pale blue and pink hooded tumbleweeds
Roll down the concrete corridor
Orange sodium vapor half lights
Half lit yellow tagged parking lot
Illuminated fake plastic trees all in a row
While acetylene fires stroke an ultramarine sky
Under stars
Corner homeless stumps and slumps and dumps
Warmed by desolation desert asphalt steam pumps
Electronic red laser reader
Smiling chain link razor wire jerk off greeter
“How are you today, Mr. Jones?”...

A sapphire spark
and alchemical light
floods my brain;
indigo wings fluttering
among the irises
draw faeries from their lair;
they flit throughout
the garden,
stirring turquoise
nectar...bee treats.

Cobalt rust
explodes from a tiny bud;
ultramarine poppies, 
with blue-hued 
fanned flames,
dance in the 
azure light.

Exhilarating
light-flare of 
teal and white rays;
purple irises 
among the
bluebells.

utopia and bliss_
    unadorned, natural,
        uttermost last journey,
             unfathomable peace ...
undulating green, and
     ultramarine seas flow_
          "unbroken is my faith"

I hear currawongs threading
their melodic calls through
the trees, sewing a dark 
into the cold air.
And far below,
a flock of white cockatoos 
screech their noisy chaos 
along the deepening shadows
of the valley floor. 

They seem like dabs 
of zinc white escaping
from a painting, sprouting
wings to lift them
from the canvas 
and fly them to where
they flicker on the edge
of the unseen, 
before dissolving forever
into the distances
of blue ultramarine.

i was dreaming of 
  colors    inside
my lonely Soul  of
Cobalt violet
and viridian skies
Inside keeping my
heart so cadmium yellow;
Claude Monet's lilies
keeps me alive.
Imagine cobalt blue,
a peace upon the canvas
lead white kissing 
with French ultramarine skies
and we hold hands
-- where we leave grief
and misunderstanding
behind.  Kissing beneath
the sun i say, "Cadmium
Orange hugging Vermilion"
And the world murmurs 
"That's so very true."
