Blue rose, Azure rose What more do you seek? You've set me free You've rid my life Of these impossibilities No one's ever seen a blooming blue rose But you have bloomed for me Does that mean That in a dream You look just like me? Because out of the whole world I'm the only one Who has seen a blue rose bloom My heart beats anew Filled with your deep blue hue I guess I am impossible A blue rose like you

Blue Rose, Azure Rose
I owe it all—— to the words unspoken to the flow unseen to the poet-insanity uncomposed to the tunes unhummed. On the way. Azure thee afloat Drizzles, alluded not Absurd me adrift Dreams, awaked not Ahold see alight Drowners, ached not. In the way.

I'll Never Be Here Again
De ces journées ternes où le ciel plat et infini Plafonne sur nos vies, cantonnant nos humeurs, Se dresse parfois un luisant et pâle trait à l'horizon, Vaine rumeur lointaine d'avenirs moins sombres; Mais à en fixer le contraste, cette strate nous surplombant Se métamorphosera lentement en vierge ciel, Clair comme l'azure de ces lentes et chaudes journées, Et cette ligne lointaine, un rassurant paysage éloigné.

Plafond (2012) [FR]
A hiss of the moon tucking into just a pair of lock let alone in pavilion-tresses on the back of one's eternal silence. Giving autumn shadows to seven skies' azure. What now the stars are gone followed in their countless galore! Eyes of the buds ope dreaming nightingale hops up to the morning rose   singing in what a balmy fold.

Following A Hiss Of The Moon
The first time you opened up to me it was through your endless, sapphire eyes. Before that glance, I was sure you weren't interested. After that glance, I found a new room built in my heart. A room decorated in the deep, ocean blue of your eyes. Since that first glance I’ve found myself searching, craving, your thoughts. So far I’ve found these three things in your eyes. Our first glance I saw a shy, demure woman but, one who finds interests in the small forgotten places, the mysteries. A woman who wishes few people to see the jewels she hides inside. A woman who lets her gaze slide, not wanting contact-- but asking for connections, Daring others to knowingly take a leap Into boundless azure eyes that scry a magnanimous future shrouded in lashes. I want to call out! "I see you. I see your true face, individualistic and beautiful." I recognize pieces of you and I answer your call with pieces of myself. Our second glance was the ocean at night under a full Moon-- bright with emotion and lust. You, an Aphrodite of the sea, your body covered in seafoam and pearls. You, An Erato whose story holds men and women enraptured. You reach out through those bedazzling eyes with endearment, and a promise of such ecstasy as to turn Ovid's quill from his paper. I find myself overcome with the want to dive into your azure oceans, to steal that treasure in your depths For myself. Our last glace was infinity-- the intensity of the sun at its zenith. You, an Artemis, bow drawn, Breast exposed, in the heat of the hunt. Your protections triggered, your eyes alight-- their color that of the dawning Sky, cloudless, at the vernal equinox. Pride and confidence, strength and courage, well up and come to bear against an ill-prepared stygian force who has not an inkling of its Thrull fate. I want to know all the pieces of you. I want to explore your substance. I want to lie, entwined, naked, within you and encompassed by you-- holding your gaze searching into each other. Our bodies rocking, sweaty--souls dowsing each other finding pieces that fit and speaking without words. I want to know... I want you...

Naked In Foliage (Dodoitsu)
life’s expanse is hard only better in your path’s eagle height understand this before the world began reward what you do, as he said, done well silhouetted smoke, sadness, silvery time, sagacious music is the holiday oozing into this side of paradise beautiful like a moon out in day lives fast like birds as free as you over the sky music is the religion just leaving town for now what do you have playing takes your soul riding even through the night on freeways through gilded hills, until now raceling traveling to my coastal world, edge and heights song lonely, giving bliss seeping from the other side of heaven’s doors dreamy like dawn’s first lights for lives fast horses bronze racing as fast as they always could dressed in true worship festivities, this is purely living dreamy and propitious blessed with a slightly sullen glow don’t belong here no more than he chance at pure light in each spin around the garden play and design life today, Lord knows the time we have awake I’m a soul eternal, living vigil of the gentle diamonds falling summer, horse country sunset wonder when I get back in from all, azure skies like a billion stars these days will seem strangely far away but you’ll love me all the same

Life is an expanse that's hard, but easy to glide on
A Dragonfly once flew up on its whispery wings to the azure sky that caught in the emptiness of time after a crazy rainstorm disillusioned it, to greet the Sun peeking through scraps of ebony clouds. A euphoric Sun mixed gold dust to an ethereal orange on its palette, and blew the sibyllic mist on the giggly, gossamer wings of the Dragonfly. And lo, tiny sparkling rainbow drops started dancing on the dreaming consciousness of the rain-wet earth!

The Little Bird
Roaming into a scarlet galaxy Neptunus whales flying above The elder fates their riders are Approaching near an eerie gleam Enormous stalactites shimmering azure Its core lies into my unconscious ocean Colored universal textiles mingled Rays connecting the pillars A way for the planets to touch each other Transcendental energies our pavillion Your sigh resonates into the other side

Roaming into a scarlet galaxy
She's this insatiable urge gaining on me, like a herd of horses galloping in the treachery of the wild, their muscles brushed to a shine rippling down their calves to embrace the ground beneath their ironed hooves shaking it up, tormenting its calm, whipping up tremors that know no chains and travel far. When she's around dust and sweat break free with muscles aching in symphony the heart is all worked up like a boiler room in heat pummeling all of its adrenaline in one fleeting indulgence which the universe with all its hatcheries is itching to contain before the raging tides in and floods my world. She's the elusive horizon used to passionate chases and the sly azure lunging at it for one sweet glimpse of the cleavage where it conjoins with the earth looking for Elysium that never is. Ah! But that is what it is for the tamed to think of love is an impossibility for it grows in the wild separated by a hundred chasms and a million mazes waiting for a fool to cross over. When she isn't around the rumpled sheets tell our story for it has seen the storms that raged in the cavernous nights and filled up balmy noons with the savagery of love still crackling like embers of fire which have seen better days, and, light up still, with a death wish to tell of our smouldering lives that thrived in spasms of our last breath.

Consumed
Waving my tattered coat among the waves of anger that floods past me. I surrendered before this even began. homeless lullabies filtered though my sleep the screams and echoes of a singular piece of lead silencing others. But the azure bleed cerise on the pavement. Taking identities of fallen heroes, never questioning but shaded beyond morals. A tide was crashing upon the pavement of society. There didn't seem to be a life of Black & White. but the fact that I seemed to be less of worth than others pigment. I held my tattered coat visible to those who where dressed as if for war. I was the first causality of the night, hands up in surrender But as bleed on the floor I thought "Why me"

An Azure Hue (Rondelet)
Life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor. In a palace glazed with porcelain-- pools of azure and gold-- And a prince far too young for the throne. Yes, life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor... (9.13.14)

Beyond Our Village (Dodoitsu)
Frost makes its way from beyond the azure blue,  snow falls as fast as it will please,  passing through a cold winter breeze. The clouds shift to a form the world anew,  never learning how to fly,  white sparkles float down from the sky.  I stare at the night sphere to search for what is true,  pure ice shows how a person can be,  as the winds wail in currents freely as the sea.

Waxing Eloquent: Life, Death, and Everything in Between Sessions: I: Birth of a Song II: Experience of All III: Loving and Longing IV: Life V: Adventures at the Edge VI: Transition VII: What Comes After VIII: Another Brick in the Wall Old age hath yet his honor and his toil, Death closes all: But something ere the end, Some work of noble note, may yet be done. Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods. The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: The long day wanes: The slow moon climbs: the Deep Moans round with many voices, Come my Friend! I: I beat away several pounds of unneeded and unwanted flora. The brush was becoming increasingly thick. Sad, but I had no choice. The fruit that had sustained me had shriveled, disappeared! My choices were few. Either stay in the oasis where now only water remained, or take my chances with whatever lay beyond, outside of my paradise. How loathe I was to leave the oasis! I looked around, distraught with my efforts. It was getting hotter and hotter. It was sweltering outside, and it felt as if my entire body was being compressed and beaten down by the heat. The cool breeze and the rippling water were far behind me now. The jungle held no care. I pushed on. The path narrowed. I tried several times to push my way forward, but something held me back. The jungle tried to stop me but I continued pushing the greenery away. I could feel it! There was a clearing up ahead. I can even see it now! But it was so far away! I couldn’t go on… there was no relief, the jungle was relentless! But with a sudden, final, desperate heave, I was through! What is this? The entire land is white! I squint and peer a bit harder; The world comes into focus. …… Dear God, The Beauty! II: The top of the mountain is a lonely place. Overlooking the crystal peaks from my frozen sanctuary, it’s as if everything seems like nothing really matters. The problems of the earth are no longer my concern. I must be content with being the watcher. I have no true power however; no true reason for my haughty airs. It is simply an illusion granted by the monolith. The cold is near unbearable. The skies don’t show it though. There is no sign of all the freezing rain, and all the snow that lies below. All that exists is a single moment of perfect clarity and reflection, untainted by anything. The sun hangs at the lower edge of the eastern sky, partially obscured by the crystal peaks. Such power! Even the sun cannot move them, Its rays blocked by their forms. A lightshow emerges, terrific hues play over the scene, giving the entire skyscape a pastel aura; Orange near the horizon, and red, then purple, and finally a dark, dark blue as the sky reveals itself. A single bold star defies the sun, refusing to give up it’s light just yet. The moon is the stars consort, and they stand together in inevitable rebellion. It is a time of compromise however; The sun and the moon can coexist. They agree for that a few moments, they can share the sky. The harmony remains unbroken for the moment. Poetry? Prose? No. It is simply an experience. A discovery for the curious and bold; The ones of wit and cunning. The sun paints no picture, there is no armistice in the heavens. The sun and the moon hold no compacts, and I? I start back down the mountain. III. A winter’s day came through with eyes for me, And it gave to my person a lovely gift, One of sweet charm and a passionate wit Who would come with me to the Azure Sea. True, unworthy I was of her, indeed- But even her longing look was a lift!- Given to me by one of perfect lips, And a stout heart beside her perfumed breeze. Her smile would give Queen Helen envy, And her gaze could melt a man’s icy heart, Her laugh would give pleasure never-ending, And a frown could give a titan a start. I simply cannot be without this light, And I will fight forever for the right. Will you join me for forever, and go to the Azure Sea together? IV. The man looked over the edge of the cliff, contemplating his fate. Thoughts raged through his mind; the doom at the bottom of the ravine, the loss of his Lady, the end of the world. Well, his world at least. It was a terribly folly he had made the autumn day, as the leaves were burning. After everything he had done, seeing the Cascading Falls, watching the Pandorian Sunrise, climbing Mount Gaze, it was as if everything was a dream. Could his misfortune be real? Surely there was no such injustice in this world! No kind God would allow such things to occur. She didn’t deserve such a fate that befell her! The Azure Sea would have to wait, there was no reason for him to pursue it any longer. He threw her ruby brooch off of the cliff. “I am only a man! Do I deserve no sympathy?” The wind wailed, but not for him. He stepped over the edge of the abyss. ........ “Wake up! You shouldn’t have drunk so much!” The man lifted his head slightly off the table to meet his wife’s gaze. Looking into her eyes, even through his alcohol-induced delirium he could see the loving look in her eyes. A tear slipped down his cheek. “Love, you’ll never lose me. I may go away, but in the end….” He looked at her. “Nothing but nothing could keep us apart. Let’s get ready, our ship leaves soon. The Azure Sea waits.” The man grinned, and he sat up. Together they exited the inn’s bar. ......... The world will never wait for those who tread it’s path slowly, for those the Azure Sea is the end. The ones who travel the Sea have had their fill of the surface life and seek to forge a new path into the great unknown, unrestricted by the laws of the world. They seek something, something out there in its waves. The story goes that people who travel the Azure Sea must relive every moment of their life, and at the end, they will realize the truth; The reason for their existence. And so, Life continues, and the Azure Sea will reveal all. The ship awaits, and forever will not be left alone. V. Bronzed waves reconcile with my bow. Liars, they rescind and form a new front. Doldrums are occurring now, Foretelling travel for at least another month. The season? I cannot truly know, However the sea holds no such compunction. Unforgivingly my ship is lashed with rain and snow, And I clear it, only to find another junction. Where? Where am I headed? You ask - Well I can honestly say: My purpose is to go where even God hasn’t tread, And find my unknown self along the way. The destination, Good Lady! Is the end of the world- The base of the endless falls. To find the step where Cerebrus lays curled, To hear the trumpet echo in the Great Hall. Hark! Over the horizon is the end! Haste! We’re almost finished with the Azure Sea! Keep tight! We’re almost of the great bend, The amber light has ended, now arrives the Eve! A hall of divinity promises a hallowed tryst, I.. I can finally see! Friend, I am truly sorry for this, But I cannot let forever be. VI. Blazing stars will give Themselves to a heart’s lone aria Shining with crystal. VII. Pastels flow and curve in all directions, rivers filled With…. Wondrous! Creeping - slowly now, over the hill…. What is this! The converse of love- Blasted landscape, cross the line- Involved with an eternal struggle? Absurd! Beauty and the Beast, An obvious choice! But why does the light feel so cold And the dark just the same? A disguise to hide the truth! A trick for those uninformed! A world for the ignorant, I won’t stay here- I won’t! Love! --… Back to the sand, Back to nowhere land I go… Salvation was in a single grain of sand, The end a mist-cover rift. (I cannot live by omnipotent hand) I will gladly return to no-where land, If it means I won’t accept the gift. Angels, do you hear me? VII. The woman sits on the boat, her husband in her arms. Waves beat against the side of the boat, and the night sky shrouds everything. Land is just ahead of her, at most a day away. The other end of the Azure Sea. She cradles her husbands head and holds him close. Tears stream out of her eyes and she thinks of all the things that they went through together. Sharp pain racks her, and she sobs even more. She looks up into the sky, her eyes blurred by her tears. She sees something….something streaming through the sky. She rubs her face and gets a better look. A series of stars arrange themselves into glowing arches, a single ray of light dividing them. They glow with the magnificence of the divine, a chorus for the ages. Then, suddenly, the image explodes into a series of shooting stars, sending a shower of brilliant luminescence everywhere, and revealing the new sunrise. The light illuminates her husband’s face, showing the smile that she couldn’t have seen in the darkness. “Love, did you find what you were looking for?” She asks softly. She already knew the answer and the world faded- Just another brick in the wall. - ‘Tis not to late to seek a newer world! Push off, and being well in order smite the sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, Until I die. Tennyson, Ulysses
