Velvet Poems

Cinnabar Moth

Plump black velvet plush
fluttering flip book of flight
reveals concealed blush

Velvet Galaxies

Velvet Galaxies  
Blue and pink relish velvet 
Sky clothed in neon sporadic 
Milky-ways are subtle 
Clouds dance violin through calm storms 
Velvet galaxies brush crimson  
Radiant smiles captured 
Oceans whispers loudly 
Mid-night horizons are breath taking true eternity 
Zealousness full filled 
Devotion human kind humbled 
Sapphire flames azure in the nightly 
Stars through

Under the velvet sky of night, where stars whisper silences

Under the velvet sky of night, where stars whisper silences,
A deep longing is born, a river of shadows flowing through ages,
The woman is a living temple, sculpted by the moon's light,
The man is a hidden fire, alchemy of the soul in forgotten dust.
Through the smoky veil of the body, my eyes delve into abysses,
Her soul

Velvet Coffin: An Epilogue

mirror on the wall reflects my pain
it is a witness of my harsh reality
the pain i romanticized about someone
is a fake reflected image of my thoughts
the pain i never wished to tear my flesh
is the real persona i try to hide

Velvet Death

slit my throat with a sword
speak in a language only we know
look into my eyes with that daring gaze
that knows the secret you once spoke

"i love you" is what your lips said
with your hand around my throat
i was struggling to breathe and
you kept on confessing with each soft breath

In the mystery of the night, when stars weave their dance on the velvet black sky

In the mystery of the night, when stars weave their dance on the velvet black sky,
I embrace the echo of love that resonates like a symphony of unfulfilled dreams,
like a sea whispering desires in waves of memories that never fade,
and I find myself shipwrecked on the island of my thirsty soul.
I knew beforehand that I

Velvet Roses

Soft like velvet roses,
strong as surgical steel.
Clamor from the inside,
never to be mangled.
The afterclap of untied. 

Soft like velvet roses,
be tender when you touch.
Thorns are not delicate,
they grow larger with time.
Baseline reigns elegant. 

Soft like velvet roses
raging in thunderstorms.
Perfect dichotomy,
passion is rarely clean.
A gift laudatory. 

Soft like velvet roses,
a match for toying cheeks.
An outlandish display

Embrace silence like a velvet cloak that gently slips over the soul

Embrace silence like a velvet cloak that gently slips over the soul,
listen deeply within, where echoes lose their shape and become whispers,
respect for others is an art of listening, a dance of hearts opening,
offering healing to souls eager to be heard under the arch of a silent sky.
Silence is a slumber of wisdom, a dream

Velvet

Do not be quick to cut velvet
It costs a hundred dollars a yard now
All the pieces must be pinned in the same direction
There is waste, but your efforts will be rewarded.
You do not want to construct a catastrophe
Do not put velvet in the washing machine either
She must be dry-cleaned
Velvet must be heeded and revered.

Petals, Once Velvet to My Touch

I woke long before he did,
quietly slipped from his side
and donned his warm woolen robe.

As difficult as 'twas to leave him,
to have awakened him—
I'd never have been able
to leave his bed.

This morning, what I sought
was not his heart to please,
but what I saw in a dream
that held me captive until I woke.

And now, I had

Under the velvet sky where stars dance like butterflies of light

Under the velvet sky where stars dance like butterflies of light,
A man is born from the dream of eternity, like a flower from the serene night,
Sculpted from the silent shadows of time, floating on the endless sea,
Traveling through the waves of destiny, an existence crafted from mystery.
His breath is a warm breeze caressing the green

Velvet Teeth

She smiled like sin in silk—
slow, sweet, and sharp beneath.
He kissed her anyway.
Called it love.
She called it
strategy.

Velvet Coma

Velvet Coma
 Slumber to ponder.
 Die to find you.
 However long it takes.
 All wait by your bedside.
 I’m writing you a letter.
 Rest like a feather.
 The only one I love.
 Deep emotions.
 A hug forever.
 I would take your dying place.
 I can’t live without you.
 Waves calm and beautiful.
 Memories Azure, water

TOUCH OF NOCTURNAL VELVET

A cascade, shimmering, of rivulets that undulate,
Metaphor thalassic, richly blending at the pate.
Each silhouette of vitality, speaking with gentle weight,
On shoulders resting, an adornment, delicate.

Where inky depths meet sun-kissed golden thread,
Fair skin and russet lips, a harmony well-bred.
On sloping lids, where emerald hues are spread,
Completing thus, a visage subtly, richly said.

Every filament, a void of
