The Lonely Star
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
The lonely star
shines diamond bright
a jewel with no setting
lost in the cloak of velvet sky
Then an Angel came
and bore him aloft
to set him in the diadem
of the King of Kings

snowfall steals darkness
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
snowfall steals darkness
tiny crystal chandeliers
rainbow shimmering
songs from the inside
losing his identity
hard hearted alice

his leather chained rock
the billion dollar babies
celebrate school’s out

fame was dark poison
nurse rossetta injecting
stevie walks alone

Bittersweet
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
My heart was shattered
Broken glass
Shards of ice
Love’s a lie
and lies the word
I saw you with her
The blonde,the girl

But as you know
I’m bitter- sweet
I’ll cut the clothes
You keep so neat

I’ll order pizzas everyday
and strippergrams
I’ll make you pay

I hope you suffer
I hope you’re beat
One thing I know-
Revenge is sweet

Blue Mountain
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Blue mountain
Summer dreams
have led me to your summit
I can breathe here
I am alone
I am at one
with your soft mists
and rugged trails
The meadows
breathe of peace
and Summer warmth
releasing perfume
of wild thyme
of honeyed air
of rosemary
and lemon thyme
I would stay here
with the pines
and lonely stars
Yet I descend
for you hold me
to the world

Shadow
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Wherever you go
I am your shadow
I am
your half forgotten dream
your suppressed sorrow

I am a promise broken
a hidden room
in which you keep
dark memories
and evened scores

I follow you
My friend in darkness
I am your shadow

City Of Angels
When you came to the City of Angels
you were innocently winged
Now you joined the legions
of the fallen

Grace is your name
You were lost forever
one needle, one night
in a shadowed lane

One trick, humiliation
in the driving rain
But you are sheltered forever
under ravens wings

Night Forest
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
The golden fawn
pauses to drink
A lazy dragon fly arrives
importantly
he ducks and dives
The drowsy birds
list in the sky
They seek the shadows
So do I
I live in darkness
without the sun
A moon concealed
Oblivion

Lonely Moon
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Like a drop of milk
on a black cats whisker
the moon is lost
in the endless night
She follows paths
invisible
and longs to
see the light
But the moon is a lady
whose destiny is dark
She’ll never see the sunlight
or hear the merry lark
Sometime she is silver
Sometimes she is gold
She is a jewel invisible
above the lonely world

The Sea
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
I came from the sea
To the sea I return
The cool of the ocean
The tide on the turn

My life is the ocean
The depths and the storms
The flotsam and jetsam
The widow that mourns

Eternal the ocean
The salt and the sand
Her wondrous creations
can’t be found
on dry land

Love Lost
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Love was lost
like a diamond ring
left on the beach
love discarded
like a half- eaten
rotten peach
I wish you were awake
and not asleep
My wishes are like ships
lost in the deep

Love Lost
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
My love you’re gone forever
I see you where you’re not
I sense you in the shadows
In each familiar spot
Your scent imbues my pillow
with the memory of one night
when all the world stood still
You were my love,my light
Now you are a memory
A half forgotten truth
That love is ever living
and my love is the proof

Water Flows
silicone valleys
sapphire nights
golden years
iron bites
stone erodes
lost in streams
but water flows
like hopes and dreams

Israel
storms build slowly
like love in winter
brief flash of lightning
dark sky splinter
we briefly sing
and fall to silence
this war rising
it’s endless violence
To own that
which can never be owned
by a breath of impermanence

If time heals
If time heals
why do the hours drag?
Child with dandelion clock
lives in zen,
at one with herself
and her world.

I feel bound to it
as a mechanical thing.
No longer flowing with seasons,
like a wild May Queen.

I hear the mechanical
tick tock tick
tock tick tock
of the clock in my kitchen.

Time reduced to numbers.
Time cut into pieces.
Someday I’ll smash
that ****** clock.

I am the winds child

Moonlight
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Moon shining brightly
Moon light my way
I am between shadows
The horizon is grey

Then as I grow weary
a rose blooms in the sky
The birds sound so joyful
I no longer ask— why?

The world felt so empty
and charity cold
But this day brings me hope
I no longer feel old

Cold moon
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
The icy stars
stare coldly down
The waning moon
removed
from all I am

Pale deceiver
Barren rock
in endless sky
While down below
We live
and love,then die

Blue Eyes
Eyes infinitely blue
Spiritual skies hold rainbows
as your eyes do
sweet meadow violets
cowpats in the muddy fields
grow the sweetest things

from the shine of love’s light
in your sky blue eyes

scaring the devout

it’s the shamans path
no longer in wilderness
stage spirit journey

dali and diva
sick ****** up complicated
for we are chaos

so we can’t be cured
your own personal jesus
feel his *******

ugly sensual
your sweet dreams are made of this
pale eye compelling

at the end of it
just another made up dude
selling dreams for dimes

Moon Lover
The moon longed to join his lover the Earth,
who did not feel the depth of his love.
For she was entranced by the song of the thrush,
by the rippling stream and the sighing wind.

The sun eclipsed him and he wept in darkness.
Even over night he could not reign.
Ever since that time the moon fades
from full to a sliver of invisibility.
Waxing to bright hopefulness once again.
The abandoned railway line
leads to lush green
and clematis tangles
To a stream
that broke through
the crumbling stone wall
Owls nest there and children explore
What man abandons
and time devours
Earth brings back to life
her eternal children
82 · Sep 2024
Pretense
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
I pull the curtains close
No crack of light
to penetrate the dark
the endless night

Love is a light
you say
But I in darkness stay
in your embrace

Star Poetry
As stars move they trace poems in the sky
constellations of rhymes ethereal.
Many poets look to the Earth for inspiration,
to trees, ocean and meadow flowers.
Yet at night I gaze up at the night sky
and bring my children home.

Give me wings
Lucifer give me angels wings
barred like the owl
Fallen Angel give me claws
like Lilith in the first days

Lucifer give me silver songs
and brazen arrows
Fallen Angel give me poems
of love and deception

Lucifer Morningstar
raven in obsidian
Fallen Angel give me a spiderweb
to capture fools

Lucifer give me my child’s breath
bring rose to grey
Fallen Angel resurrect
what God withheld

Lady Dawn
The dawn is blushing
as the sun gazes at her
from her misty horizon
She whirls a few lace clouds
around herself

He brings her gold
with which to adorn her hair
She melts into the sky
lost to sight until tommorow

Christmas Rainbow
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Rising early in the morning
sherry, mince pies and milk all gone
Presents piled high under the tree

Laughing children joyfully open gifts
Snow falls, making this a perfect day
full of loving companionship

The next day skies are grey
but the memory of our wonderful day
is a rainbow in the sky above

Dark Wood
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Winter lace
adorns the windowpanes
Crisp white snow
crunches underfoot
a trail of crimson drops
lead to the winter woods
the eagles flying
to hotel california
I drink pink champagne

the mirrored ceiling
reflects their lyrical flight
music in mountain

the doorman smiling
as you check out this dark night
you can never leave

Winters Herald
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
The Autumn is Winters herald
Her banners red and gold
The Autumn is a dancer
With secrets deep,untold
The Autumn is a dreamer
Who dreams a golden world
The Autumn is a mourner
wrapped in mist and haze
The Autumn is a maiden
gilded with golden rays
The Autumn is a gatherer
of dreams and poems and news

When Autumn meets with Winter
the leaves will turn to dust
Into black earth they disappear
their golden fire lost

A gentle snow blankets the world
and diamonds frost the trees
She is a dream invisible
a whisper on the breeze
74 · Sep 2024
The Wind
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
I am the wind
The merest breath
on the baby’s cheek
as she sleeps
her evening sleep

I am
the bracing wind
that reddens cheeks
and teases skittish cats

I am the gust
that startles birds
to quarrel
in their trees

I am the gale
that wrecks the ship
The hurricane that
shatters worlds

Scented Words
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
A scent bourne on the breeze
Sweet rose,anemones,
Winter jasmine blooms
by the sweet peas

A garden is a poem
of scented words
of butterflies and bees
and little birds

Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel
Carrion crow wings
shelter from driving rain

There is yet hope
A star reflected
in a puddle
still holds celestial light

It reignites the fire
so long extinguished
Your heart is a phoenix
arising in the morning

You were Lucifer
Lord of the drug dead corpses
****** bleeds from your veins

Angel dust phantoms
claw at your feet
but still you rise

****** with purple hearts
Qualude queens and tricks
Poppers and ******
Have no significance
for a living flame

who roam in palaces

and lie with sirens
in beds of silk and gold

ripple of sunshine in sky
radiance flying
first breath of morning
golden leaves falling from trees
riches of autumn

gold dust woman the wind blows
you’re gone forever

Essence Of Rose
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Cleft of mystery
shadow leading to hidden waters
A mysterious spring that feeds
the well of dreams

Essence of rose,
she is bound with silver chains,
released to ride the night

At sunset I enter
love’s Eleusian mystery
Lost in her flowing waterfall
of midnight hair

She is rose and jasmine
and tigers breath
Orchids of night surround us
ecstatically she sips their nectar

Moon moth and night blooming flower
at sunrise vanishing
into the carmine sky
Don’t go until I have made you suffer
The day has turned drear and scrofulous
Insipid cats prowl in alleys
while dogs yearn to **** them

Opening doors you may find rude things
Like housewives **** with rubber gloves
cleaning china
and searching for stray hairpins
All is lost

Poor Santa
SerpentineSky Dec 2024
Pour the mulled wine
heat up the mince pies
Rudolph is coming
dragging Santa behind him

Santa is dreading
yet another workday
He wishes he could shave
and retire to Lanzarotte

Yet he has no choice
but to endure his job
Don’t be surprised
Have you ever tried
mucking out reindeer?
goodbye english rose
I never knew you at all
you graced our garden

you grew from shy girl
into a woman so strong
fragile to iron

two flowers you grew
now lost without your shelter
candle in the wind

Winters Heart
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
A fallen woman
A jewel upon the
somber earth
Glows like a
beacon in darkness
Illuminates the truth
That all things change
They rise,then fade
This small leaf
is the proof
I bend down
I pick you up
I’ll hold you
to my heart
This tender leaf
is Autumns gold
and Winters loving heart
64 · Sep 2024
Winter Snow
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Summer heat within
Hot coals igniting
I see you touch
her hand
you know I’m watching
You want me to let go
For I am burning
For you are ice and bone
and Winter snow
