kaleidoscope star

brilliant and buoyant
the vapors escape his aura
shattered and pieced
glinting this way and that

falling…my mourning star is
known, named and claimed
I have no right but he is my
exquisite disaster; my only appeal
like kaleidoscope reflections
of soul wrapped tight
round pinky’s tip

as splintered shards
of radiant passion
pierce my veins
he darns the last of me
pulling us together
stitch by stitch, reborn

with new words packed away
under tongue and cheek
we voyage together now
only wisps of color
tangled round our supernova

sphere of yore

like night is not dawn nor day the moon pallid light soft and sharp cutting colours like bloodletting let the sickness drain like minutes past the hours "falling my mourning star is known, named and claimed...." and what is it you have taken knowing what you are leaving forensic passion touch that sparks grinding like heat the whisper of smokes excitment twisting in the dark against the light weightless

yes bloodletting

like the weeping rainbow skies falling falling falling through bottomless ambition drowning in the black of nothingness choking on just enough air to survive the gravity draws me in the high keeps me coming back the addiction wont let me go and willingly, i want more more more... <3 Emarie __________________________________________________________________________________ "i read you and see…that between the pen, paper and you…there is little room for me…" ~heartbreaker~ Go Live & Get Rewarded!!!

Very very nice Emarie

I loved it. Great flow and imagery. Beautifully written. Now, on a serious note, can I darn you too? Darn you! I wish I could write that well. (yes, I know what darn mean as applied to stitches and sewing.) *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: Hug a logger, you'll never go back to trees! For the sake of children, read this. http://www.neopoet.com/node/19905

Son et lumiere … spectra

Son et lumiere ... spectra distilled into scintillating verse. This fairly fizzed along with me [entranced] tied to a comet's tail. And all this through chat! You have my sincere admiration - for that many bravos [and a relieved hug that you've landed safely] Mike "not all matterings of mind equal one violet" ~ e e cummings ~

four paragraphs of "more"

"soul wrapped tight round Pinkys tip" that line delighted me before and now darning souls and supernovas the bold feel of this work stands out it is what it is and I like that "exquisite disaster" still love that line your poems are alive and vivid and never fail to charm me and thats my opinion
