"luminesce" poems
Upward stare, dark sky, I fade into the veil of night. Woven in dark heavy shrouds that blanket the earth and hold it tight.
My body rests on dew kissed grasses where the wildflowers grow..
My heart and thoughts with all I've loved and the life I came to know..
My essence now the starlit heavens, close and far away, and in the pink hued clouds of morning luminesce of sun rays..
In the rolling ocean blue my loved ones yearly see, when the cool breeze caresses their face you know that's where I'll be..
On my mothers garden bench she quietly rests upon, I'll be the sweet bird song that makes her smile even though I'm gone..
I just want to be an angel floating close by to wrap them in my love and hold them when they cry..
We are apart of everything always and forevermore, death isn't the end for us, it's just another door.

Your vivid colours
Delicate taste and sweet scent
Luminesce my soul

i wrote you poetry
i applied my soul to your heart
i gave my body for you to bend
i gave you my left hand
if i never see you again
it will be too soon
if i forget your name
it will be memory well wasted
if i learnt my lessons well
it will be tears well shed
the brevity of you presence
is a speck in my life
and cannot undo
the luminesce of my colours
you will not be missed

He opened his eyes to the morning light,
As he spoke his mind he said things will be alright.
But when the end of the day draws close,
the anticipation lingers whilst the shadows filled his lungs.
He tried desperately to gasp for light; he was alone in the cold night.
The last luminesce on the edge of an empty wine bottle dwindles.
The second glass a reminder of love never to be rekindled.

My love your beauty bursts from your dress
From fairies land you are like charming bless
From the heart of my heart I have to confess
Like golden glow your streaks to luminesce
Your charms and style make you the princess
Your emotions and sentiments make incandesce
You are the only one with qualities you possess
My love you are mine this is what is my success
Burn me with your heat by being on love seat
From my Lord you are just a wonderful treat
You surpass my soul to become my heartbeat
I am a lover poet you my beloved a blank sheet
Now I need your company for peace and solace
Allow me to kiss you and to be part of your grace
Let explore your beauty pace to pace, place to place
Allow me to take you in arms and let me embrace

I awoke from a peaceful somnolence with sparks of a beautiful dream giving me a beaming face.
Only to fall into the luminesce of a heart break

Blackberry wine and pecan biscuits ,
Crackling fires , knee high stockings , electric blankets ..
Communion with my evening star , storybooks luminesce
in a cold black venue , a hickory fire pops , vibrations travel the wood floors ..
Our reflections grace Pine paneling , elder hearts aglow on brisk , frosty , quiet nights .. Together ..

I have winnowed words from red earth
Birthed mad poetry in silence
Rumbled under sullen skies
Cast my cries to the birds of the air
The cadence of mind
Blind expectations
Venerations
The ache of angels and soliloquied
Mantras of savants and idol fools
I’ve plated my thoughts with bits of
Sugared glaze to coat the rendered
Offering dolloped in the sickened
Fawning
My voracious ego tasteless
Vinegar on the palette
The sweat of my brow spat out
In a shallow glass
The circumstance of banality
Nothing more than the dull ache
At the base of your spine
You dismiss me by degrees
Inconsistencies
Secrets grow fangs and
Spider themselves webbed
Close to the bone
Crunched underfoot
Weary words spin in the thin air
Senseless surrendered chattel
Trace my petty dreams in the dust
Of the space between
You and me and we
Will never grasp the significance
Of a blade of grass
Or the depthless black ocean
Where your terrors luminesce
On the cusp of a pirate moon
You breathe the algorithms
Temporal
And I have lost my taloned grip
On your poet soul

Snow falls, weaving lace from a forlorn sky
that caresses the tender edges of sand dunes.
Indigo waves buoy lamented lullabies,
filling empty drifting bottles
with salted cold foam.
Gulls screech,
shrill with curses
at the winking lighthouse
taunting the winged rats
with its cold, unreachable glow.
Silver threads of moon beams
luminesce the stardust under my feet;
my toes sink in as I pirouette
among other forgotten things:
bits of shell, braids of seaweed,
and stones of glass made smooth
by the ever-changing tides.
A clock washed ashore,
devoid of hands,
chimes notes for the unknown hour.
My footprints leave a path behind me
softly whispering my name
to the wind that welcomes me home.

Nothing Worth Doing is Easy
Witness
an impossible
Monarch-
luminesce In,
from obscured
higher frequencies
swapping saffron compliments
with proud Susan, while
sitting on the thirteenth pedal
circling her black eye
Reflecting our diaphanous flight,
through this garden of stars
Maybe,
Everything
Worth Doing Is Easy

Up and down this long lost road,
lost amoung,
things once known.
We search for rest
through winding mountains and
perilous valleys.
As headlights race
through countless alleys
in their seeking glow,
we seek to learn,
we seek to know.
They bask the homes
in electric luminesce
as they slumber together,
and as we ride alone,
radio turned low,
thoughts turned high,
pedal to the floor,
destination: unknown.
We drive these roads,
these roads drive us,
some roads once,
some roads many,
some roads home,
many roads
home.

I.
The gleaming moon shined light
Emits bright luminesce, Paul holding his breath.
Floats over the hills
Valleys and streams, shadow of doubts.
Count it, another star rises!
And falls burning.
He wonders about the lantern of faith,
hides an omen of a stormy night
II.
Of those star turbulences of tragedy
Of these days passed with no respite
He lifted the lantern, his soul withstood.
He pondered on a one-way path
Confused but never scared, Listen－
the mountains echoed
III.
A lantern luminates its own soul
and
you are my light, Paul mumbles,
Absorbing all sparkles， Look
over folk lore, they glow.
Glittery magic, under a mellow hill
He lifted the lantern, a full moon
the faith and fairies bestow

I feel my mediums
are more numbered than the stars
poetry is my venus
and performing is my mars
in the same solar system,
arts suspended in space
they glow, luminesce,
their light illuminates my face,
my soul, my heart, my words
in motion
like orbiting planets
in an empty, endless ocean
but I am like a passing comet
souring in the universe's pocket
I do not spend eternity
in any single gravity,
instead I shine by
many lights:
every art along my flight
