Observation

Dig Up All 
The Sediments
Under The Seas
Make Them All
Frothy And
Opaque.

Pour All The
Cool Waters
Under The Trees
Then Watch How
They Run To
The Lake.

Clouds Burst &
Starbursts...
They Know What
They Like...
They Didn't 
Need Me To
Delight 'Em.

Rain Moves
The Mountains.
We've Got This 
Thing Covered!
All The Wrongs
We're Gonna'
Write 'Em.

   On the back of her pony
     the universe lay
   comets and starbursts above
     periwinkles below spreading love
 
   O, princely pinto
     you're all I need

Premium MemberWhat A Brutal Sun That Assaults The Cliffs

What a brutal sun that assaults the cliffs
   Where cacti and mescals dare to abide!
Here and there, dozens of petroglyphs
   Decorating the canyon may be espied.

In large nesting circles neatly drawn
   In evaporating wisps and bold squares
In a sun to give thanks for every dawn
   In little starbursts and stick figures

In a deer, in an eagle looking strong
   In a war scene kept by the ancients –
It remains unsaid – time is not long
   But to a murky end, everything drifts.

If I Called Your Name Our Hearts Beat In Time

If I called your name
(Our hearts beat in time)
By Michelle Morris
24/08/2023

If I called your name
Into the big, wild Universe
Would you hear it, darling?
Would you hear my voice?

Our connection is timeless
Our souls are infinite and divine
I love you and you love me
Our hearts beat in time

Despite the miles and timezones
Despite everything under and over
Bridges and storms
And sorrows

We will share our moments
We will survive and thrive
Into the future but enjoying
Our now... our present... our gift...

If I called your name
Standing on mountaintops
Or under the ocean's depths
Communicating beyond space

Would you feel it, honey?
Would you know it, angel?
For we are one heart
Beating over timezones

We are one soul
Sharing this one lifeline
Across lifetimes
Until we become starbursts

Our connection is timeless
Our souls are infinite and divine
I love you and you love me
Our hearts beat in time

CHARM  OF  NATURE 


       With airbrush Sun rays colour sky to glow.
      Spangles of stars adorn charcoal night sky.
      Dusts of starbursts sprinkled in cosmic flow.
      Silhouettes on Milky Way freely fly.
      
       Air, Water, Land make splendid ambient.
       Rigid matter:  Flourished flora - creatures.
       Evolution : Life never salient.
       Nurture majestic Nature for future.

Snowfalls

Indigo coldness
	obscures starlight
twinkles are lost
	hidden from the sight

porch lights distant
	shining bright
flickering starbursts
	descending from the sky

crystals fragile
	in frigid air
blankets the walkways
	cold and bare

bundled deeply
	seeking warmth
visions of summer
	flow in my mind

half heard rumbles
	steel scrapes
scattering crystals
	hard and dry

rivers flow
	through the night
herding the storm
	to far away

radiant beams
	warmth away
as glittering starlight
	now appears

shines forth sunlight
	new dawning day
as endless rainbows
	spring into the view

enthalpy clings
	to sparkling light
ascending the hill
	of energy gain

crystals do slowly
	with changing state
droplets become
	and flow away

breeze slowly warming
	attacking the chill
bright blinding sunlight
	stealing away sight

The Big Halloween Sulk

The shadow sulked in a puddle of drool,
Dribbling, it bawled out its eyes on a stool,
Hot chocolate with tears,
Starbursts and gummy bears,
It’s hard to devour sweets when you’re a ghoul.

Premium MemberA Random Thought

A random thought, strange lines are drawn
Starbursts exploding in the brain 
Parallel pathways amp the gain
From small to shrimp, from shrimp to prawns
Tangentially, another dawns 
Möbius-like, it loops again, 
    a random thought.

Eternal Now, it is explained,
sees ere I was till long past gone.
Now that’s a thought to linger on…
So did I now just entertain
    a random thought?

Claytonia 

How God ignited the living continuum
No mind can fathom; neither therefrom,
How we sparked to flame.
 
Yet, some Sparks must beget Starbursts
Not Stars; Ephemerals, in their fleeting bursts, 
Are needed not less than Oaks. 

I kneel in prayer to lift up her small light
Against the dark, not to morn what might,
But illuminate the birthright of the briefest life.

ASTRAL ENTERPRISE

      Though hidden in sunlit ambient,
      Firmament carrying astral enterprise
     Visible in starry night sky.
     Spectacular surprise flashing
     visage of starbursts or shooting stars
     displayed on canvas of sky.
     
      Floating clouds dampen blowing breeze.
      Silhouettes in Milky Way in ebon blemish
      traverse mystic but not pernicious
      Maroon Moon stays as descent sentry
      Whether Crescent, Half, Gibbous or Full
      even being invisible.

O'Bright Star, Thy Bright Gleamings True Hearts See

O'Bright star! will thy gleam this sad heart sate
    with splendor of glow, quench our dying thirsts
Thy exquisite beauty, mankind debates
    as well, bold shining depths of thy starbursts.
  
Why gift that grin, that Chesire cat-eye glow.
As riddle we are never meant to know?

O'Bright star! will thy eternal gaze blink
     a galactic voice thy wisdom impart
Are thy infinite gleamings - wine to drink,
     as a soothing balm to heal broken hearts,
Shall ever thy distant voice our souls hear
     or will we destroy earth with hate and fear?
	 
May we in our pitifully sad state.
Reach, touch thy heart's glow, to truly relate?

Premium MemberWalking In Stardust

Walking in Stardust

Hot August nights – the heat stands still
Sandy beaches wait - tide pools fill
 For starfish. -

Watch the rose fire flame in midnight -
Time carries darkness to the light 
  In starbursts.

Looking up into darkened skies –
Wishing stars – constellations rise –
 Bright starlight.

Rippled sands meet a sly rogue wave -
Steals kisses from the shore – the knave
 Stargazes.

Summer phosphorus floats on tides
Sparkling footprint on sand abides -
 Like stardust.

Premium MemberA Strange Galaxy

When I gaze into this realm, I see more than the dazzling array
     of golden starbursts floating in a cosmic sea of blue-green-gray,
   photoreceptors painting post-Impressionistic explosions of colors,
       fibers and dilator muscles servicing your ocular aperture.

I see distinctive melanin patterns of a truly original individual -
     a retinal scan of exceptional singularity,
   each nebula unique, every supernova peculiar,
      no quasar like any other.

I passionately absorb with one brief glance
     an infinity of nuance,
   an eternity of historical archives,
       a heaven and earth of emotional journeys.

I am reading your autobiography, the encyclopedia of you.
     I remain a student of your sclera,
   a pupil of your pupils,
       a Vincent of your irises,

going half-mad with the dizzying vastness
of the starry night within your eyes.

Premium MemberBreathe Taking Heaven Views-

The promises of blue in the skies;
The burnt resin in your eyes;
Like emeralds shining;

So inviting;
In awe I will try;
To witness the creation vibes;

Caressing night;
Gauthered monolights;
Starbursts in the skies;
Mesmerized Breathe Taking Heaven views--=
