Amphorae, beautifully crafted,
Delicate, exquisite, fire-glazed,
Heated in jumbo kilns,
Lovely molded necks,
Opaque pigments,
Quartzite residue-
Symbolic, timeless, utilitarian
Valued- with xanthic yellow zirconium

I can’t help but think that I’m not the only one,
But wonder it so.
We can all wish for something we cannot have.
We can all chase our dreams,
in the dark,
grasping blindly at shooting stars and wishing wells.

I like to think that wishes on stars
really do come true.
I like to think that,
one day,
things will be different,
And I will find my way back to you.
written for my third Creative Writing prompt - an exquisite corpse made in class, where we had to keep at least two consecutive lines. The first three lines are from the original.
I am the flower of untouched perceptibility, the unique breed nobody could ever find in any imposing gardens. Do not chase to haunt me and the richness of my petals’ sap if you are not a holy breed of spirit as I might wither and get my seeds of knowledge scratched in your unjust volition. I am the pearl, the mermaid chain of blushing moon tides.

Torment, what bliss I did 
to owe this primrose path 
that transgression thee commit 
and rejoice in my spathe. 

Yon through the frigid lake 
thee come cold and earnest 
thy end no prey shall see 
thee bring the brawny mist. 

Thy tales did tribes tell 
of vagrants in mausoleum held 
who call to see the cherubim sing 
those men till end in delirium dwell. 

Voices of myriad bards I heard 
who oracled my ruin in thee 
that if I breathe thy arid wind 
death shall soon coax me. 

So colorable their denounces seem 
for once methought, 
they had me charmed 
shall I abstain me to thee or naught. 

But when thee to me clearly come 
and to me wed thy three beauty lass 
my mind cleared as cloudless sky 
then, gay, I walked through dark crevasse. 

There in the wilderness I found me home 
I learned in life the need of pain 
that to heal thee art the perfect partner
in thee is life exquisite attained.

everything's pretty -
from how bright you are,
even for million light years apart,
from how exquisite you are,
I'm seeing it from afar.

same goes with his smile,
so bright even if I'm far for miles,
same goes for my love to you,
exquisite it is,
but unacceptable for you.
it's by the moon

Sky
You are my sky,
my tranquil type of blue.
Whenever I gaze at your beauty
you put my heart into bliss.

You are my sky,
my unique and exquisite hue.
At times you may be dark and grey
still, your essence is true.

How exquisite it is; your smile,
When you haven't seen me in awhile,
The way it lights up like I'm the only girl,
Youre the only boy who makes my world twirl.
Am I the only one who understands?
Yes you say, as we take each others hands.
My mind blocks up for a split second,
This is a moment I never could have reckoned.

My rambling doesn't bore you, I am assured,
You still think I'm interesting with all the random thoughts you have heard.
For you i am funny and interesting, you don't care
If I am popular, to you I am a treasure so rare.
I may not have a lot of friends but you still think
I'm smart, the prettiest girl in body and in ink,
You are the one who never fails to make me laugh about
Stupid stuff that would otherwise cause me to pout.
You are the perfect one for me not just today,
No, i will love you forever, and after that if i find a way.
I wrote this one kind of in a hurry.

I gaze
Without notice
An anxious rush kicks in
Heart beats rapidly
Do I mind?
No
I feel alive
Her presence
An essence of the seven heavens
