Moonrise and showers
Enshrine flowers
A stroll along the shoreline
Starlight and halos
Eternal cosmos
The awakening angel
Lullabies and shadows
Mystifies meadows
The calypso personifies
Coral and fireflies
Rainbow skies
The radiant circle aglow
Butterflies and ladybugs
Intertwine jitterbugs
The dance along the skyline

love, nature, passion, philosophy, universe,
Sanguine blush, outreaching its origin,
Roses bloom across the painting.
The sky extends its insubstantial limb,
Spreading its fingers- in gesture towards you.
A great fan, coral but crimson,
Shifting, yet still- tumbling across eternity.
The horizon appears, in a flash of pink rainbow,
Love, of the universe, of humanity,
Of life, appears… and evaporates; a gradual decline,
of colour; but so sudden too,
And we are left once more,
In solitude.

how i feel, love,
Sailing on endless seas
Lost to broken promises
Floating coast to coast
Captured by east and west
Rusting to shattered anchor
Rescued by time to hoister
Two hearts floating forever
In life, each other's lover
An elaborate tombstone
Of coral reef and limestone
When love was romantic
And being in love - fantastic
When a first kiss was poetic
We haunted the Atlantic
On our waves goodbye
Swem and learned to fly
A honeymoon married to the sea
On the skeleton coast's memory

romantic, sky, stars,
Float with me, my love, amid coral pink nebulae on the astral stagecraft
Surfing wavelengths ultraviolet, in close encounter of two dreamy hearts;
Oh, how charming it is, to woo romance in opal aura of stardust galaxies!
Glistening your happy smile, in sculptor’s blueprints upon blushed motifs
Like the ephemeral musings of burning meteoroids on ruby rose tapestry
Lost in the constellation’s scarlet orange tinges on kaleidoscopic imprints.

lost love,
Ripples on ancestral water
Stretch on beyond the coral hue.
Leaving only twilight memories...
Of the love, I found in you.

Tropical Island
Flamingos in flight pencil the sky,
amidst horizon drifts pink clouds on high.
Lies yonder an island of tropical cliff,
with fish, coral reef and seaweed adrift
Here dolphins are schooled and learn how to play.
The hatchlings of turtles can swim in the bay
Where mermaids can frolic their fishtails and say
That no one ‘s discovered their home to this day
A place I would share with some one I love.
Enjoy all creations of nature untouched.
Where gannets and seabirds can nest on the rocks.
A home to all solice with peace from above.

analogy, art, love, sea,
It begins life as a tadpole
Uncanny resemblance to a sperm!
Therefore I wonder how much of our (my) DNA
Is shared with the humble frog.
Why am I so ebullient under water?
Donned in lycre!
I float and float.
I let the water take over my core;
My soul anchored
To the shores of the azure pool.
In the vast oceans,
My soul ebbs and flows.
The coral reef like an iridescent womb;
Smothers the fish eggs, then the fish.
Moonbeams cast an exquisite spell on the rivers deep.
I catch my own reflection in the river and smile.
I am a woman of water.
The particles of my DNA
Of water and water alone.

absence, beauty, lonely, longing, love,
It's still alive, the rose he gave
Coral pink like the blush of our cheeks
It's life makes my own so worthless
Thriving upon nothing, for weeks
They say that colors make the mood
I don't live by what others say
I only pick the ones I want to hear
And then I go on my way
If he is happy I know not
I only know this old rose is still pink
If the sky is crying, let me cry too
Washing away each tear as I blink
Fading as each day passes by
But faithfully retaining it's hue
Lying nostalgically beside my bed
Stunningly against the wall's blue

Shield me from this stain I bear,
remove this filth and smut I wear.
Cover my eyes from the evil truth,
discard these lies and hide the proof.
Guard my heart, these beats of pain,
from this spattered torn, loveless stain.
Protect this tired, worn out soul,
the one who beats out of control.
Defend my honor, grace and trust,
uncoil these spoils, away we must.
Preserve the mutiny, oust the pure,
coral the innocent with your evil lure.
Safeguard the takers, fakers and rest,
loosen the chains around this chest.
Release my dignity, vanity and control,
please shield my heart and cover me whole.

autumn, imagery, lost love, metaphor,
I listened as your soul broke fragile vows,
like wind in midnight trees it chilled my heart.
As wept medallion leaves upon the boughs
late roses hushed in seance did impart
that dim would grow the saffron afternoons,
midori secrets soon to disappear
as left was I with shame of scarlet runes
and pewter shadows whispered in my ear.
Across the firmament I felt the ache,
though silent came the smoke of summer's fire
of marigolds and honey we would take,
now sodden ashes in October mire.
The wisps of coral memories now fade;
in umber will the autumn notes be played.

love, romance, daffodils,
Your kiss:
On my lips;
Coral setting sun riding charcoal ocean swells.
On my neck;
Sleepy daffodils wake to mornings golden rays.
On my tummy;
Fields of wheat whisper secrets in heat of the day.
On my thighs;
Once constrained heat waves escaping Saharan dunes.
Your touch:
Caressing;
Feather brushes baby blue sky in lazy descent.
Cuddling;
Raindrops plinking lullabies on an old tin roof.
Embracing;
Storm clouds plume across darkening skies.
Making love;
Creation bursts forth from nothingness.

death, dedication, depression, devotion, hope, loss, passion, romance, sad, for her, for her,
Nothing as cold as a winter of black.
the world still moves, as if nothing has changed.
"a snow angel" i thought as she fell back.
she looked to the stars "they all seem arranged".
her eyes a sunrise on the Coral Sea.
Years pass people, continue in rejoice.
my despair endless, as challenger deep.
i long for her warmth, and ache for her voice.
her love for me eternally in stone.
love crashing down in a thunderous wave.
stars came and went but i stood there alone.
waiting for deaths sweet grip, by true loves grave.
when joy comes with curved blade and dark cloak.
time will mend the heart, it long ago broke.

LOVE stands still , the Sun does not set in SORROW

In a Rainbow, Her Soul lies hidden in Kaleidoscope, Coral
ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Liege, with LOVE…HG

There is no peace
In this squall that is my soul
This shipwreck of suffering
Dawn's flag fluttering
A cove that won't let go
My reflection is gone
But you're still there
Gelid lips still bearing
The salt of placid caring
The coral of kicking seas
I hear the horn resounding
Midnight's mistress crowning
As bottled moonlight spills all
The red tide of hope drowning
The fabled fathoms of Luna's call
Behold the glass inlet
Where jagged love flows free
Beneath my shredded mast
The threaded din of reflections past
That's where tomorrow finds
Jetsam of scuttled me

fantasy, love,
After the inhalation of all my burdens,
I exhale,
In the coldness of my breath - a mist containing all my dreams.
Lying half awake on the seashore, silent, reminiscing under the sun's beams...
...I was swimming in the current near the trenches,
back stroking til I was pulled by the ocean -
who rebuked my great escape.
Trapped in the gravity of an island paradise with a beautiful face.
Enjoying the times,
finding peace underneath its coral reef.
until a single tidal wave of defeat - left me
helpless in the sand along its beach.

Summer Holiday
07/05/2018
The natural way we came together,
Waves break, shells and coral lay united.
Tides rise pounding lust to regions nether,
Together one, all senses delighted.
Water warm elicits such temptation,
Frolick free from restraint veiled in sweet sweat.
Free all constraint, such sweet revelation,
Flotsam floating rudderless, upturned, swept.
Fun in the sun on holiday we chose,
Reality bites, the tide starts to turn.
Burning sun, bright days drawing to a close,
A tsunami of emotion, heart burn.
Summer done, longing for the sun I pine,
Holiday done, I left my heart behind.

I decided that two legs
aren't quite enough
at times when I
wrap them around you
not enough skin on skin
not enough to seize you
I could be content
I believe as an octopus
eight times happier
multiplying my touch
tasting you with my
succulent suction cups
you in my grips
making you drunk
with my confusing cloud
of love ink as I
take you away to my
colorful coral reef
and mold my eight legs
to your body
and change my color
to match yours
both of us now
camouflaged as one

beauty, blue, lost love, memory, sea,
Gusts of wind have taken a rest,
their remaining weakling breath
has endured offering a last chill;
I shiver a little seeking warmth,
watching the big sea with blue
waves: a tender memory
of the most lovely eyes!
Out of the coral water,
a voice submerges-wait!

adventureme,
No matter how hard I try, everything runs into me.
As light as a floating cloud or as deep as the raging sea,
I love a good laugh from a comedy movie.
When everything runs into the sea, I will be
at the bottom, where the coral reef meets the plant eater, I am
flesh driven by emotions. The whirlpool will swallow me up
to the core of my well being. I try really hard to be fascinated
by my object that I instantly wished for, would do me good to steel and eat it.
From the heavens above, to the washed away fragments of the uneaten
particules that drift ashore, I face nothing but fear and anxiety, in my own life .

love,
Rock, scissors, paper
A game that you never let me to win
You, the coral which stand at the limit of my shores
You, the scissors which cut all of my mourns and anxieties
But this time
Let me win you with paper
For this time I want to embrace you through my tidal wave
And wrap you warm beyond my fear

anxiety, appreciation, crush, for her, for him, i love you,
I PONDER YOU AS I LOOK AT THE OCEAN BLUE
Oh! I sit on this coral reef
Cross legs arch-feet
Arms and elbows resting on my knees
As I spy the ocean blue
My love I sit here, I ponder you
While I view the ocean-blue
Pondering what next to do
My memories of love floating with you
Cross legs arch-feet
Arms and elbows resting on my knees
Caressing floating on horizons
Somewhere on the ocean blue-where
I spy the ocean blue
My love I sit here, I ponder you
I sit on this coral reef
Cross legs arch-feet
Arms and elbows resting on my knees
As I spy the ocean blue
I sit here, I ponder of you

introspection, lost love, sad,
She lives in my heart
but I live nowhere
lost to love
in eyes of ocean blue
crystal coral fears
caressing weeping wounds
I can feel her lips
like summer’s jagged sunrise
shards of salted skies
stinging swollen memories
beaded flesh evaporating
my lust for life
She loved me
until I forgot how to love
to hold her heartbeat
cuddle the complacent night
where I now wander
endlessly
searching for why

Deep in the Caribbean coral reef;
A bright blue rose, one salted leaf.
The stem has strength of ancient gods.
The roots of time have not withered
Her petals of truth grow strong with age
Her story unfolds from a watery cage
Her stamen: the history of man.
I knew her well, Aqua, my wife.
No longer seen with mortal eye,
You don't hear her sobs: her cry
No sweet hello's, no fond good-bye.
Memories of undying love.
Floating serenely in waters blue
The hottest sunshine filtered through.
The Aqua Rose is my love true.
Her watery grave shall be redeemed.
Long before Aqua was a rose;
She was innocence, personified
She was mine and I was hers
Soon we shall share Eternity.

love, romantic, , cute,
Romanticist you,
Quality in expression,
Indulged in excess,
My dear sentimentalist,
Believing in each other.
Sensitivity,
Remarkable acuteness,
Rivers connect, bridge,
Our exciting devotion,
Amorousness love, desire.
Undeniable,
Our sea will never run dry,
Swim by our coral,
Perched above our maple tree,
Falling in love once again.
