Perhaps A Poem

Perhaps a poem 
Created from the warmth 
In your eyes

Perhaps a poem 
when the sun hits your eyes 
Hazel turns to molten gold 

Perhaps a poem 
when moonbeams caress your cheek
and your smile turns to silver 

Perhaps a poem
created when our breaths meet 
in the mingling of our heartbeat 

Perhaps a poem 
created when my soul waits
knowing my love will not abate 

Perhaps a poem 
as I wait my lifetime 
and my timeline turns into rhyme 

Perhaps a poem 
created in the rush of your touch 
in my imagination pretty much 

Perhaps a poem 
created when I feel your truth
this truth hurts not but soothes 

Perhaps a poem 
words lost somewhere 
marking the happening of love 

Perhaps a poem 
a lyrical token of love 
created for all eternity .

Lamp Of Hope

Simon 

Where clouds wait 

There are many paths, 
to a sky that may be clear 
or darkened, with storms;
I’ll sing, a Pharos to bring 
you through it’s seething tempests

Yassy

A storm crosses my path 
Drenching my thirsting body 
a wind swirls through me 
carrying me into the light 
my head giddy with delight 

Simon 

Night~Born 

our souls walk steadfast, 
on a path carved by tempest 
through clouds of deep night;
but we know the light of home
lies just past the darkest grief 

Yassy 

our paths, tempestuous 
carved by dreams that could not stand 
test of destiny 
but we know there is Pharos
lighting up the path to hope 

Simon

Lamp of hope 

Each small lamp, shining 
from a window, through the night,
is a guide homeward;
Alexandria burned not 
so bright, as these yearning hearts 

Yassy 

the light lingers soft 
embellishing the darkness 
letting our footsteps 
tread lightly through the night’s sky 
yearning hearts burn with fervour 

Simon 

Promise 

Let wrathful clouds surge 
in deep, chaotic canyons 
of lost emotion;
the ocean holds less rage, but
a lone light breaks all darkness 

Yassy 

a bouquet of clouds 
find their home in sensations of inquisition;
the ocean heaves as tides leave starlight ripples the water 

Simon 

Veiled 

Even stars are lost
when cloud veils the temple’s dome,
in wrath’s modesty;
but the light we set to call
wanderers home, never fails.

Yassy 

Clouds veil the path home 
Stars pulse raw in divine sky
the temple’s dome smooths;
Creating existence of light
to lead the way-wards journey

Trekking
		
	
	

		

trekking;
climbing a path 
to the sky 

























Leigha Robbins @Leigha66 writes





It would be so nice
to take some stairs
up to the clouds
take a minute
just to walk around
have a seat
in fluffy comfort
then jump across
to ride the sky
on a slowly drifting
whisp of air
while birds fly by
and stop to stare
maybe I will
see you there

	


	


			
				


			

			
Satin, Scarlet
		
	
	

		

A satin scarlet moon roams the sky at night 
Waltzing across the sable isle 
Like a bride afloat~her porcelain tulle trailing 
A mistral sighs on fragrant Golden Wattles 
Mauve clouds cruise rippling the lea 
Shadow~dancing into trees
Petaled winds peal into bonfires that hush lavender eyelids flushed with sleep 
Spilling quietude of birds’ floral tunes
Lamps flicker in night’s fragile darkness fading to a waking night
A phlox of stars trip to a melodic lyre
A forevermore tune ..

	


	


			
				


			

			
Crystal Fire
		
	
	

		

In icy blue twilight 
Lily~white clouds glide 
To a moon~kissed skyline 
The hemisphere of
White satin snow 
Unsullied 

Crystal fire
Pearly frosted 
In my eyes.
I breathe into the
ivory bleached air
In a sunless
Alabaster treescape
Icicle chandeliers glow ..


Poetpas 

snow hushes the land
into a long white sigh
whilst the tall trees pry
at a dim winter sky…





















	


	


			
				


			

			
Hush & Flutter
		
	
	

		

A Rengay with David 

Y ~ mellow notes of birds grace 
    mid~winter’s chilly embrace 
    wind zips through drooping 
    boughs 

D ~ goosebumps at her soft footsteps 
    a soft flutter in my chest 

Y ~ silver whisper of a heartbeat 
    shimmer of surreal reveries 
    awakening of winter dreams 

D ~ pale shadows drifting 
    rouse to chase faint flickerings 
    beneath glassy ice 

Y ~ tender rush of raw abandon 
    silhouettes linger in cuddled
    ardour ..
     
D ~ lovebirds share a perch 
    murmurings float upon dust 
    breezes raise their tunes

Sweet And Chaste
		
	
	

		

Sweet and chaste 
White mist of dawn 
Tinselled dew glaze 
Blades of grass

The day comes undone
like a pastel embraced rush 
A beguiling farewell to 
the silence of sleep 

Midnight stars lull to 
the sun~struck lilt of birds 
Chrysanthemum clouds offer 
the moon a ride home 
on lyrical wings of ebon night 

A floral wind takes shape 
in the green of leaves 
air fills with the 
breath of blossoms 

I breathe into my dreams 
Feeling my soul unravel 
I see your face draped by smiles 

Your smile warmer than the morning sun .
