Vermilion Leaf

I received the mail,
written with cracks on a crisp
vermilion leaf. Dropped
in by the cool morning breeze.
News of autumn's arrival.

Listen to poem:
Voracious blood suckers
Vespertilian beasts
Vermilion eyes, white fangs
Velvet cloak, black en-wrapped
Vigilant for dawn's break
Voraciously gorging
Vivid red neck vein blood

sun aflame in the centre of our palms
fingers dipped in ethereal vermilion 
magnetically charged form glistens
God at crown oversees all pulsations
we are everywhere and yet nowhere

I anoint myself
applying ethereal vermilion 
the ‘I’ not being ego
‘myself’ not being mind-body
so thus no-thingness 
ushers fullness of blissfulness 

igniting form in permanence

Premium Member Vermilion Sunrise

Scarlet-orange sun rose brightly, As the cerise stars shine nightly. Honey sunshine caressed flowers- A gold thrall twixt silver showers; And ruffled, plum breeze came lightly.

Vermilion Hideaway

Fusing closed
Secrete yourself away
In vermilion blossoms
Inside hushed anguish
Coiling up
In a fetal comfort
Beyond everything
Denying breath
Slowly fading
Within the confines
Of a blood red rose

Premium Member Dreamscape

morn!
lovesick
Blue jay croons,
squirrels scurry
in haste for ever…
boisterous in grey coat.
breathtaking vermilion tinge
painting sky with glistening hue,
intoxicated July dreamscapes 
idyllic beauty of glorious  day!

The Balcony

It's full of my childhood memories
And those adolescent years...
The Poinciana tree,
All my sorrows and all my fears.
It's the place to be
For long waiting hours,
Those winters with bare branches,
And springs of vermilion flowers...

Spring's First Dew

Spring's first dew glitters glasslike on grass Vermilion sunrays glow through the mirror beads A rouge rose bud blooms - renewed hope Magical morning - dewy ladybug quenches her thirst

Colour

Red is the colour of my hair,
The colour of the blood in my veins’
Of the cord that hung on the whore’s window
And doomed Jericho to fall.
The thin, slow strand of vermilion;
Scarlet ribbon tracing its way to the earth:
Rahab’s redemption and my rebirth.

A Nightmare

pale moon rises in vermilion skies
ashes and screams erupt from the pyre
lusterless eyes beseech me to join their throng
lifeless hands stretch forth from the fire
imploring me to cast off my innocence
daylight rips me from the delusion ~  pallid and afraid
Form: Acrostic

Darkness

Darkness is a being
that folds its hand over our eyes
and steal our vision from us.
It is a dark blanket
that spreads over the earth,
A disease that turns men into shadows.

An indentation of innocence


               Lay siege to my vulnerability,  
        D i s a r m my chastity,  
    Indent my innocence 
         with your capability,  
      Pierce my supple skin and.......
              drink my bittersweet 
                      vermilion essence

Premium Member Autumn Splendor

A
path to
harmony
is one adorned 
with vermilion hues. 
Pumpkin leaves, remnants of 
summer’s verdant colors now 
drifting through the woodland splendor
through argentine skies, unified, a mélange 
of the magnificence autumn bestows.

fingers five dipped in vermilion 
an ethereal elixirous mist
thought they stand alone
they are all yet entwined
with all nodes of form pulsating

chakra wheels rotate churning
polarities orbiting the void
centred everywhere 
circumference nowhere
presence is the all-that-is

Premium Member the vaporised self

hands dipped in ethereal vermilion
we allow the bliss tingle to rise
all sensations dissolve in our heart 
‘tis where the false ego too dies

sans identity we yet remain aglow
as formless awareness self-aware
we see that we were in our own way
but to plunge in the void, very few dare

Anger Or Angel

Vermilion red is my blood
The anger was the mortal weapon

Stubbed, all of me scattered

Hey, at the end of "anger"
Use "l" from "love"
Instead of "r" from "rage"

Yes, you ARE an angel

Fly and collect all pieces of you

"Sleep with angels"

My mother's voice resonates in me.

cinnabar
     setting sun
  like a vermilion ball
      bids goodnight
           to the earth
the sad wind
    welcomes 
        mystical moon
  who rules
     in place of the sun
dusk drops early
         light dwindling into night
God's painting
    done for the day

Sweet Home

Mother blows conch shell
                                       Dews  on holy basil drip smell
                                         Sun vermilion in sky day shy	
                                      Cows return, father chants Om,
                                      Peace all over home sweet home

Season Sonata

The watermarked weave of 
sunset's net
Does not soon force us
to forget
The leavening clouds
encasement soon
Of mallard's flight in night's
cocoon.
And in the morning sunlight's
dance,
The summer vermilion leaves
enhance
The platinum sheen of swooping
wren
As silver slug trails signature
an end.

Premium Member Kismet

Kindred spirits, instantaneously.
It was unbidden love written in the
  Stars for the erstwhile strangers.
  Magical was their connection, an
 Explosion of vermilion; passionate,
 True romance; 'twas sheer kismet!

Premium Member Nature's Ballad

It was the dream of night to write her message in verses of romance on nature’s ballad 
So, the rising morn painted passions of heart on marigold arc in vermilion and purple 
For that’s what Venus said love was, when moon relayed night’s song to amative dawn
