Snippets Garnered from Nature’s Reflections…

butterflies flutter in graffiti taffeta, cradled on smiling scented rosebuds and docile violets, that opens its satin arms to breathe fragrance. starry constellations etch dreams with stardust fingertips, peacocks dancing to tempest's symphony, with their fanning plume brocaded by nature's needle. singing cuckoo is anonymously hidden behind, verdant foliage, elusive rainbow is spun on clouds' loom, …

lyrics scribbled on dried leaves…

lattices of interlacing veins etched on bosom of fluttering leaves are orphaned from reluctant boughs, by an infringing, cruel autumn.fractured swansong of fall reverberates in potpourri breeze in broken lyrics, barely legible on mottled leaves, as faded manuscripts~ steepled in transience of whimsical shades of dusk.versatile are the songs of foliage, crooning lullabies to the …

Her angst stains twilight in purple bruises…

Her eyes are charcoal smudges, twin, vacant potholes floating with muddy thoughts, which had once wept only the idiosyncrasies of onions ~ peeled and quartered, now they are mystical depths where nights curl obscure angst. Naiveté covered her dimples in soft shadows, dappling her face in photon-dust of innocent, artless freckles, while every dawn was …

Apparition of Truth

A phantasm or a figment of fertile imagination floating in recollection, a vivid picture vision from fairy tales at ungodly hour of three when tired clock’s hand somnambulate pendulum dozes off to enter Somnus’ realms, moon is sleepy and stars yawn in lethargy, pall of silence enshrouds sleeping Rhea.

Verse in Turquoise…

silk-embroidered, turquoise feathers dances to rhapsodies of falling rain as once to mellifluous tunes of Krishna’s flute. guarding gates of paradise devil lured it to allow entry, on resplendent, fanning feathers glow hundred vigilant eyes of faithful Argus~ embedded in his memory by Hera. a visual poem quilled by the gods dexterously crocheted to titivate …
