color, love,
Deep within my hidden pastel dreams
are soft sweet colors of a newborn spring
dressed up in mauves and pinks and windham creams
while giving hope to love and all it brings.
Painted in the colors of the dawn,
like pinks and purples of the morning sky,
magenta dreams will bloom and love will spawn
as newly mated hearts begin to fly.
And thus our lilac love has taken flight
while sharing orchid thoughts without remiss;
soft words and fuchsia touches in the night
are punctuated with a crimson kiss.
The coral sun rays beaming from above
are raining down these colors of our love.

Poem of the Day - October 24, 2024

Categories:
deep, emotions, fantasy, first love, love, true love, wine,
I gaze at those fireflies in
your butter-sweet eyes that shine,
succulent with white lush pulp
of love's purity,
you hue my wildflower heart
with hyacinth, as we twirl
like spring-shaded tulips in
life's regal-black psalms;
mon cherie, I wish for stars
to sequin your shimmering
wine soul and cradle comets
of faith in your fate,
as, rubies glazed with honeyed
hibiscus and nectarine
daisies will be my pink muse,
forevermore true;
afterlife shall foretell our
lavender soliloquy
of celeste romance, whipped in
soft beige affection,
and your coral spirit will
eternally emphasise
cherry letters as tokens
of swan-shaped twin flames.

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.

destiny, grief, heart, heartbroken, imagery, longing, love,
You and I, we are,
two polar petals, laced with
arctic blue moonshine
of soft sweven-hymns
and sunburst apricity
of aqua-gold tides,
reminiscing mauve
hours, when our love waltzed in teal
faithful lakes hued with
ivory ink of
coral kismet, shimmering
in wine-auroras,
but now we just trace
poisoned pixie-dust, upon
each other's frail fate,
sinking in folklores
of shaded red canopies,
as I bleed stardust
in ebonies of
hellfire heavens and we fade
like smoked-ash comets;
for you and I, are
we Hemlock and ivy, swathed
in swan-shaped ballads,
floating like hail on smudged graves?

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

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

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.

~ With love in the heart
- it becomes easier to deal with adversity and conflicts ~
quote by poet
Look for a moment at the spectacular sight, vivid colors to find
Yellow, pink, rose, blue, purple, scarlet, coral, and white
How delicious to live in a world that is never drab
A pious desire to be admired and create a sensation
In the fire of noon, the anemones bloom with silky petals
Feeling of beauty and momentary pleasure, captured
Nature's pride, the anemone that holds crystal dew
At sunset, magical fairies sleep under the petals
When I'm dead, will you still love me tomorrow?

feelings, love,
Braving storms, push and pull piercing my
Parched soul, while glazed in flaxen mists
Framing lingering dew drops
Consoling my warped core,
As I drift amidst
Sweeping mistrals
Calling me
To the
Blue
Glow
Of our
Ocean home,
Swaying to tides
Eclipsed by sundered
Coral sighs glistening
Upon glossed ripples bleeding
Devout love encompassing my
Frigid heart, seeking the warmth of 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.

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.

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.

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.

garden in my coral dream showcases roses and violets,
gorgeous flowers swaying, fluttering petals in misty breeze,
intoxicated birds croon to each other, are they love-sick!

allegory, introspection, life, loss, nature, sea,
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.

3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade, animal,
Coral reefs are dangerous some entities say
Not to me maybe because I know of no other way
The corals are gorgeous, but can hurt your toes
I swim through these reefs loving their glows.
I am comfortable in these waters so deep
Predators are about, but I know where to sleep.
I love the beautiful waters of the South American sea.
If you want to experience life, come and visit me.
The colors will be so dazzling, they will hurt your eyes.
You will have to wear goggles, no big surprise
I am eagerly waiting to introduce you to my kind of sea.
Just book a flight to Brazil and come follow me.

fantasy,
The pointed hat she wears sublime
with dust from Neptune's moon;
though magic flowing from my love
will fade and perish soon.
She twirls her glowing cape -
its light is from the stars,
the heat of Venus fire
and glittered sands of Mars.
The colours fluctuate
in shades of blinding light,
and flash from black to white,
then aquamarine -
crimson -
chartreuse -
coral -
lavender -
lemon -
lilac -
saffron -
tangerine -
watermelon...
And as her soul departs this night,
her colours fill the heavens bright.
