Opalescent Promises

Opalescent promises irradiate my skin

Tentative fingertips touch now, to begin

Searching for that sweet caress.

Benediction, one may bless

This union, here no sin.

 

Poetry in motion, creates the cutest wink,

Sensuality articulated, allows no space to think.

Harmonised in frailty and love so free expressed

United thoughts and movements tease and thus do test

The strength of this, our link.

The Ghost Of Nothing

The ghost of nothing came to me,

Visited my soul,

Asked me questions I could not answer,

Responses trapped inside a hole

Of unknowing.

 

The ghost of nothing follows close

Chasing all its chances,

Searches me, my fantasies,

All my childish fancies

And hopes.

 

The ghost of nothing breathes my air,

Quenches all my fire,

Seeks to suck all sanctuary

In effort to conspire

Against will.

 

The ghost of nothing steals and flees,

Taking all away

Till emptiness and nothingness

Overtake and stay,

For a while.

 

The ghost of nothing once departed

Leaves a gaping wound

That starts to heal when nothing’s left.

Nothing left but the sound

Of silence.

 

The ghost of nothing hides away

And watches from way back,

Waiting till well fills once more

And plans renewed attack,

With force.

 

The ghost of nothing, once full known

Betrays its battle plans,

Self, protects from aching void

And takes a different stance

Of defiance and faith

And optimism.

Discovery’s Story

Hidden in stars, empty of light,

Lie souls of confusion lost in the night,

Seeking the gravity known from before,

Pulled down to earth in tumultuous roar.

 

Defying all reason but natural law

Looking for treasures to gather and store,

Taken from heavens and brought down to earth,

Finding the answers known well at birth.

 

Eons of lifetimes on planetary plain

Releases all lessons once more and again

Begins to establish a stellarly heart,

Before dying to self, begin anew, start.

 

Hidden again but in star burning bright

Illumines all darkness, casts shadows of light.

Discovery’s story from inside a star

Reborn to light from galaxy afar.

The gentle breeze threw stars to earth.

A light began to show in her.

Love is cast from up above.

It happened.

The stars, the moon, the galaxies, smile down on her.

It happened.

Daughter of the Universe knows love.

 

As above, so far below.

It happened.

Daughter of the Universe, synchronised.

 

Two stars above were drawn together.

It happened.

Daughter of the Universe was there.

 

Heavenly bodies collide, explode.

It happened.

Daughter of the Universe felt all.

 

Energy transmits from form.

It happened.

Daughter of the Universe absorbed.

 

She did not have a choice in love.

It happened.
