Tulips of morning just waked from amaranth dreams, meet glittering sun. Dogwood rose opens redly Pink dawn's jewel shines steady. Beautiful flowers respond to warmth's mute caress! They're a dream come true in varicolored versions 'ere dusk dreams, in beds again! ...

Cosmic in Her Gaze
The whirlpool stars of the Milky Way appeared when she was feeling grey. Mother-of-pearl constellations shimmered across her skin in the candlelight. Saturn’s red rings spiraled wildly at her climax— A solar flare unleashed in breathless surrender. Turquoise desire bled into solemn greys, And those greys married verdant dreams, swirling in slow motion. To gaze at her was to weightless drift...

The Colour Of Peace
You know the colour of peace is white — And no wonder, white suits you so well. I live in a world woven with dark, And in its midst, you shine — Bright as the moon, Calm in my chaos, Light in my night. I’m really bad with words, Terrible at saying what I truly feel — So you might never know… That you’ve always...

Premium Member MULTI-HUED DAMSEL IN THE BEAUTY OF HER WETNESS
Out of the womb of seedless water came her birth, And no less than always has been her silent beauty; Radiant essence, crowning the earth’s heavenly throne:- She’s a special reflective bouquet of God’s creativity; Mothering sun smoothing each of her rays into its chosen place As her regal dome challenges the matter of her crowning magnanimity:- Her celestial realm is...

Premium Member Life Passing Me By POTD
From obscurity come the strangers Fading away, like old dangers. Walking the street of flowers more people pass every hour A few are pleasantry exchangers. Near my porch, robin sings Beautiful music for summer swing! Red berries in a bowl Kelly green butterfles, on patrol Noontime's for swaying and musing. Passersby, smiles of the moment Starry eyes, upon distance fervent! Jasmine fragrance in the air Pink hummingbird is...
