Premium Member Ridding Perception of Self
Let the eye see, through clear, clean lenses Not a wilderness of mirrored reflections, Echoing biases of misconception, But, with true perception, rid of self. The sound I hear from out there, A call of bird, a ring of bell, Is not a story, memory nor a spell. It is improvisation in staccato, syncopation. The taste of a raindrop on the tongue, Is not,...

Premium Member This Is To Be
This is to be, a seed yet sown, a deed yet done a whisper on tongue a kiss becoming an echo sent a gift bought a line cast a promise made a wink of eye a smile on lips a touch on skin fingers meet a glint, a glimmer a ripple, a quaver orange glow at dawn a breath of wind a whiff of scent footsteps creak of gate knock on door hum of tune distant...

Premium Member You Excite All My Senses
You excite all my senses. I happily lack any defenses against stimuli your love dispenses. Your ways lack false pretenses. Whenever together, true joy commences. Eyes, ears, taste, scents, touch - all intoxicate me so much. My heart and soul clutch because our love grants such. You are my sweet penuche. Thoughts of me and you paint a picture perfect view. Our combination is love's brew sweet seeped...

Naked Legacy
I taste the beating of your heart As truth drizzles onto my soul Daring me to challenge this equation That turns two pieces into one whole I embrace a broken mirror As I am claimed by torment beyond measure Calling me to face the rigors of this legacy But instead I run toward pathways of twisted pleasures I am adrift on a raft...

Blue
Blue like the sky And the beautiful waters I feel as I could fly Free from all horrors Blue like the berries Picked from the bushes Eaten in my young days My youth, where all the good is Blue like the sorrow That wallows inside I dread tomorrow Today will be my last night Blue like the veins I aim to slice down Blue like the pain, When no one’s...

Premium Member A High Fivefold Dive
Count your fingers and toes! It's five that drives betides! For our minds can't juggle More than five at once. Can't grip, grasp sense - six. How we sense and perceive, Also comes in five flavors. Touch, sight, smell, taste, hearing, Which constrains, contorts our thoughts, Into believing we know what's Right, true, all so insightful! But, why or why five? Has ego, fear, doubt, desire Succumbed to...

Premium Member My Cherie Amour
La vie en rose - Seeing life through rose colored glasses La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la —My Cherie Amour, refrain, sung by Stevie Wonder A song in my heart; we’ve all been blind to love, until it appears. Love at first sight, sound, touch, scent or taste. The masquerade is over; a song in my heart. —quote by poet My Cherie Amour Smooth la-la’s embrace a mysterious...

A singular Drop; That's All There Was
I gaze upon an opaque silver sky, Descending dewdrops, developing above the mustache maw. Ascending the nape to taste cherubim cry, Permeating petrichor, pervade the nasal in auspicious awe. Palpable pain of tactile taps Kissing canker sores and rainstorm rush. Radically rampaging, for its rapid relapse Rain, it's infinite, swirling fervor flush To drown by an inundated impound, A vehement, vicious, void that immersed, Wandering...

In short, I've
I've loved half-faded flowers on the better side of the road and left my smile surrendered in the heart of an untouched daisy I've stared at the honey-moon felt liquid stars drip their dreams into the pupil of my eyes and melted like lemon drops of sunlight I've known love to burn inside the glow of my wild fire and slowly drown deeper into...

Aerial Acrobats
I watched the birds from afar, they swooped, and they soared right up high, then straight toward the ground, They made me dizzy, with the patterns they made in swirling circles going around and around, It was all so fast like a hair-raising race, with each bird desperate to not be last, Were they friends just playing games...

Breath of a Forgotten Night
I don’t particularly remember it, Yet when midnight whispers through the air, —My heart aches. A sudden hurt, a lonely ache, As if the past is breathing near, A moment lost, yet somehow known, When the air smelled just like this, And I was breaking too. It feels like my heart is holding on, Though my mind can’t trace the past. Some feelings don’t need...
