Beauty (Remove filter)
You Shine On Me
How special you are
To have laughter that infects
Bottomless: it goes on and on
How magic you are
To make every day an art
To make life come undone
To make the mundane fun
To perk up everyone
And spread a mood
Like waves until the whole scene
Becomes your sea
How special you are
To capture the heart
Of a wild beast that
Saw life as being free
To make th...

Begin once again — The prophecy, Foreseen destiny — A happy ending
Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved
A union two twin flames
theirs
one old soul’s
shared nostalgia
about
our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind
quale, in the way we act
an ordeal with life
born into circumstance
chaotic
the conundrum
all of the elements and alignments required
the complexity of an immaculate conception
the manifestation of a woman and...

The Beauty in Despair and Illusion
It is here that lies your beauty
do not testify to me anymore
of dandelions and daffodils
of butterflies and bees
do not sing like crows
beyond the dispersion of sight
then gather
in cold bare trees
sick with
discord
dislike
misfeasance.
The reward for
transgressions
destroys the cache
of elegance
of magnificence
of splendor
do not pour out sadness
breathless
from your panting ...

Southern Lights
The lights you seek are not these ones, these are mine
I shall explain more in time
As I have searched far and wide
Yet these are the most beaufitul I find
Unique, like tears in the snow
I share these lights with the Emporer, Leopard and Crabeater
With an hour of sunlight, there's nothing more sweeter
Than to sit and watch the carnival of light above
On my own, as the ...

love-hate relationship
obsession …
— envy us
in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.
you’re setting yourself up for failure
possible optimism
two glasses
my other, half
fully blurry vision
they’re prescription

and hadn’t felt the planets tilt till now

Red Dye Number 40

snapped twigs, and

all my resources …
gone,

your hair smells refreshened

remnants of soap

Rhetoric
attacking my integrity
questioning… me
myself,
I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question
second guessing…
why?
you were impolite.
looking for answers in an inner view

A burnout —

What a catastrophe!

This is not a draft
I don’t want to mask my poetry
I want you to understand me
Curse your perfect rhythms, rhymes, haikus
Your lyricism, your literary
When I try to adopt it, I turn mute.
Something channels through me
(I’ve never really found the root)
A demanding stream of consciousness
That cannot stop to breathe, let alone
Wait, conceptualise, draft, redraft
I can’t!

Infinitesimal
dimensional
cellular division
the genomic sequence
time is a light matrix
encoded in
0’s & 1’s
goes on forever …
and, in that order
10, 9.
A singularity
and absolute zero
the big freeze or heat death
he said no one can help us
when, asking the universe
for answers
what, times any number
… is nothing other than zero

like a spider

They say he has his way with the ladies
the bruiser at the door

then my eyes rolled back

Dark Side of the Moon
prophesied
the premonitions
foreshadow people
who live lives with
similarities parallel to our very own
when your third eye intakes light
and all the shades disappear in the night
their life is vibrant
the dream seen as an auric phenomenon
it’s either that
Or, are you completely isolated
in the back of the black of your eyelids
see an oracle or dream interpreter,
our aura’s rainbo...

Fog of War
smoking barrels
in talks —about the past
around the campfire
you could cut the tension with a knife
the only thing needed is a good sense of humor
And,
…try not to lose your self along the way
the buddy system
marching—
side by side
do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
behind every great man is a great woman…

Sweating in my Sleep
This is a dream full of desires,
and I like to think
when we go to sleep eternally
our soul
will not be without
the rest in heaven.

Doe
Wide eyed gaze
And lusty lashes
"You and those doe eyes"
He'd say
Before he hunted
And feasted
In my eyes, what did he see?
Shades of browns and yellows?
Hues of blues and greens?
The girl of all his dreams?
Someone he could love?
An angel from above?
Or did he only see himself?
A hunter on attack
Hoping to fulfill some predatory promise
Sensing a weakness
Smirking at the bre...

Dubbed Subtitles
what I say goes —
if I say so -
don’t allow an application to control anything
they need permission in these settings
and turn down your background music
“for what?”
if I’m going to green light your on screen time
we cannot have anyone getting an extreme close up
portray a picture perfect image
believe me...
flash forward,
when you’re using the front camera shutter you’ll see

Creature of Habit
at times I find myself
with insight
into my third eye
the inward perception
of crystalline tears
holding onto emotions
looking for one thing
The truth

Waxing Poetic
my love letter
stamped with a pair of pressed lips
licked,
then sealed with a kiss
the silent observer.
waiting for his moment
with the present
trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud
smothered in your undergarments
while fire from the two flames
arose
on a magic candle
over and over
like a brazier come undone

The Vacuum of Space
star dust -
quantum particles —

ashes to ashes,
A bindi

A Shero

hereafter she received
Saturn’s ring.

Summer breeze and the bee’s knees
The sky’s serenity
The sun’s strength
Mother Nature’s pride and poise
Earth’s balance
A bouquet of beauty in every way
The stillness between the trees
The calmness of the wind’s whispers
The modesty of mother nature; sacred and serene
The breathtaking beaches
The comfort of a campfire
The boisterous BBQ gatherings
The coziness of a cabin
With sun-kissed skin

On The Train This Morning
On the train this morning
I sat alone, by the window
Where normally there’d be coffee, warm
and all the world’s news in my ear
Instead, I chose dry silence
I chose the undulating wildness
strobing past my view way
I chose high green hills
and glinting mirrored rivers
I chose lone trees, centuries old
strong against the elements
I chose lambs and sheep
moving in pairs or herds
I cho...

Beauty
Your beauty makes YOU invisible
Do people see the real you or just your beauty?
Beauty is a barrier
I broke the barrier
Wednesday 28th February 2024 5:36 pm
Beauty
I see it time and time again
that beauty’s made by what is spent.
A beauty that demands a price
with outer glow and inner ice.
And observation seems to tell
it’s only as deep as the well,
for come the day the well runs dry…
such beauty simply waves goodbye.

To a Fellow Artist
To a Fellow Artist
It’s often asked: wherein does beauty lie,
In mystery bound, proportions magical,
Deciphered only by the observer’s eye,
Or in some poet’s words deemed lyrical?
I know that beauty’s not in sparkling dross,
Perfection is for fools; an empty frame,
In masterpieces, lines are found and lost,
And here, in life’s chiaroscuro lives a flame,
A caring smi...

Dragonfly
Most beautiful dragonfly you ever did see.
Descends to land upon my left knee.
We looked one another deep in the eye.
Then with a wink, it flew away into the sky.

Grandfather & I
I am Misti--, didn't get it?
Misti(sweetness) is my name,
My grandmother gave me that
Honor, I'm too grateful.
I'm going to 8 months
This November soon,
My limbs are
Not properly working now,
As a little bird fears to fly
Into the sky, below the mountain,
I am quite like that: I can't
Hold my legs sticked to ground.
My voice is like the groaning
Of the cloud you can hear but
Not to d...

Seek And You Will Find
During the American Civil War, which ended in 1866, Walt Whitman worked as a clerk in Washington, DC. For a period of three years, he cared for soldiers, dressing their wounds, and comforting the injured.
His 1865 publication of poetry, Drum-Taps, which drew from his experiences in the civil war, includes, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” Whitman’s elegy for President Lincoln.

On Beauty
My love of Beauty, nurtured through the years,
Of form and fair proportion’s served me well.
Yet often I ask: where does my true love dwell?
Within my soul; this heart; these eyes; or ears?
Does she conduct the music of the spheres?
Or, sit in silence sweet on Lakeland fell?
Are roses’ heavenly scent bound by her spell?
Her spirit surely lives in all...

Beauty in Ugliness
But hard to confide in bad ones,
(Beauty tells us the jovial story
But often it throws the dark rays
Into our smiling face.)
We know if the flowers
Bloom, they must give sweet fragrance
To the air, but we often forget
Some are odorless. Some flowers which
Bloom beyond our vision are full
Of sweet nectar but we don't care of them.

The Curve of Her Neck
I like the curve of her neck
And her lightly tanned shoulders
I’m not interested in the drinks I’ve bought
Well, not as much as the way she has crossed her legs.
I like the way her mouth moves
Though I’m not interested in the words
Another part of me answers
And nods my head in agreement of something
Although inside
Inside my head
I rather like the curve of her neck.

Beauty
Where do we all find beauty?
And of what does it consist?
Is it made or is it natural?
And where does it exist?
One might find it in a person.
They may have lovely hair or eyes.
Or is it in their personality?
Is that where beauty lies?
Do we find it in the weather?
Perhaps it's in a summer's day.
With blue skies and precious sunshine,
And we'd love for it to stay.
Do we discover ...

bird watching
gracefully i perch on the edge of the bus seat,
so as to convey my feminine, my eyelashes.
each time the doors open my posture rushes to fix itself,
my fringe blown out by my hands running through it.
when i'm most worn out,
on the days when the world is dragging its feet,
when my joints tingle with pins and needles.
to look pretty on the edge of a bus seat is a fufillin...

Forever and always
Lost in your blue eyes like I'm floating in the sea
I still get shivers when you look at me
No matter how far we have come
From girlfriend to an incredible mum
You still own my heart, my soul and mind
When I'm with you I fully unwind
You make me the best person I can be
We can take on anything with you beside me
Hand in hand, check to check
I still look at you and for...
