Colours Of The WindColours Of The Wind

BLUE chases
Suits, cases
Through the empty streets

Neat, combed hair
Left wild, bare;
A lone paper fleets

GOLDEN shines
Through the vines
And upon ripe rye

Lips in rush
Whispers blush
Floating to the sky

GREEN depicts
Far districts
To sailormen brave

Salty darts
Damage hearts
And souls do enslave

SILVER rings
Upon wings
Of eagles sublime

Mountains cold
Strong and bold
Shake their hands with time

RED relieves
Us from grief
And pain of the past

Gardens calm
And warm palms
Are what's meant to last

PURPLE flares
Just like prayers
In a darkened room

Evening haze
Softens lace
And sweetens pe
The JourneyThe Journey

Two cans and a string
Weigh so much more
Than words and beads
And sunlit backyard -

- Sea full of sharks
And pirate ships
And mermaid that so rarely dips
Her beauty into stormy waves

A rocking horse
Will ever gallop a lot faster
Than the wildest of buffalos
And maybe even wind itself -

- Carrying smoke signals
And poisoned arrows
Along with battle cries
Of sons of tomahawk

Two chairs and blanket
From my bed
The safest home
We ever had -

- An impregnable fortress
Castle with feather walls
Made for one princess
And one knight

Bubbles are diamonds
Fed by breath
And if we like
We can grow wings

While planning journey
I
Bridge Over The RiverBridge Over The River

Underneath the stone bridge an ice-cold river flows
Sometimes it's ferocious and sometimes rather calm
Carrying days and years of world into the distance
Its strand is to the bridge what humans are to each other
Route to its end seems strangely intoxicating

Over the icy river a stone bridge spans
Forever binding two shores with a gray ribbon
Just like heart contains both grief and joy
The bridge stands firm, even though the river's driving forward
For world of wonders we always look on the other side

Even though bridge locks the river and river undermines the bridge
It's just stone and cold water embracing on
Amber WarsAmber Wars

If stars were up to lend an ear
To just one question in a million years,
Would you ask, if they'd seen tomorrow smiling
Or how brightly you shine in their light?

Upset sky, a cauldron of blue milk boiling
Contains all "what if's" and words left unsaid;
Drawers overflow with letters
Those will one day be

Written with help of runestones
And planetary constellations
That according to some
Will put minds into the right order

Bald-headed princesses fight
Over each other's scalp
To much liking of armed jewellers
Scavengers in these amber wars

Children with empty gaze
Looking from behind trellis of barcodes,
Replace
FayrouzFayrouz

Your soul is silent but not still
Like storm upon lavender hill
It comes from where wild horses run
To find the place where sleeps the sun

Warm winter nights go darker blue
Just like the peace I find in you
Together we sail heaven's plains
Direction changes, aim remains

Sky's wastelands and your ebony eyes
Lead me where passion multiplies
There we can hear the seahorse sing
And find the price of everything

Sands of time swallow human fate
Sweet juicy flesh is just a bait
For star-dust from the milky way
Tomorrow's memories to repay

"Love knows no border" I've been told...
Just two warm palms heart to uphold,
Eye of
Vanilla CranesVanilla Cranes

The light of day cuts pretty masks
Out of stuff way too colourful
And glues them on faces of men
Who then stomp chessboard with their feet

In brothels red lanterns do shine
Gates there kept open, welcoming
Children to find their way back home
To the tower of Babylon

Pockets and wallets resonate
With choirs and gospels of the change
Dreaming of freedom and revenge
Who lives by coin, by coin shall die

You ask me "Why do birds have wings,
When sons of mortal men can fly...?"
I guess we humans aim too high
Before sun laughs us in the face

So is there any happy place
Except for our enchanted realm
Where love with
Emerald HarbourEmerald Harbour

Sometimes I wish to get lost in you
But can I afford that?
And outside it's raining

Maybe I could get a loan
And let the rain pay
Or I'll just stay broke as a joke

On moments like this it feels
That city lights know me
Better than fellow humans do

When you're not here
It's only them
Who will kiss me good night

My stormy eyes glow cunningly
Like emerald temptation
The night is my harbour and ships go off shore

In each and every blushing rose
There lies a promise dormant
So know that I'm blooming for you, just in all secrecy
Blisters And BlissBlisters And Bliss

Though city lights show pavement gleaming
In hidden corners tears are streaming
A broken heart to purify

Heretic thoughts tempt righteous falling
While sin viciously keeps on strolling
Some twisted truth to testify

Each day new hand the old replaces
And soon the crowd counts thousand faces
All of them turned the other way

Who is to blame for rage tormenting
That seems to never be relenting,
Dreams those don't make it through the day?

Though world's dark shadows keep deceiving
To save yourself don't stop believing
In word that carved in gold stays plain

And like an angel's wing defending
Brings bliss, hope
Sugar FreeSugar Free

Her face shined brighter
Than the snow

The canvas she picked
For drawing angels

Shaped like her
And equally as mute

While frost was playing
Silver flute

Her limbs danced, light
Ploughing through beauty

Cold sterling gems,
Most precious clay

Fine linen cloth
Never to fray

The sweetest icing
Sugar free
Silent NightSilent Night

There's something broken between us
The crystal bridge that bound our shores
It erupted and fell apart
In silence of the holy night

Majestic ice cubes shined so bright
Over the boiling lava stream
That flew on without compromise
Consuming love as it may seem

There's something frozen between us
Poor firmed water melted and cried
Its tacit tears dripped unwitnessed
Until they smothered river cruel

Left unable to find more fuel
For fire; world feels cold and dead
Like torch that forgot it once burned
It's dark, who'll take first step ahead?
A Dreamer's OdysseyA Dreamer's Odyssey

My suitcase got lost
During the last astral travel
Still beauty is the baggage
We all need to bear

My heart keeps longing
For dancing among stars
But I've never flown
A paper aeroplane before

You offer me fuel
Although there's no map
Except for the cryptic signs
Hidden underneath your clothes

Is there anywhere else
To find comforting arms?
Is there a world
Beyond this room's door?

Maybe you're some kind of
Narcotic digression
From the paths been walked
By my aching feet

Like hemlock
That unlocks
Fields full of four-leaf clovers
You take over
Ribcage SymphoniesRibcage Symphonies

Passion has no taste
It just burns your tongue
While fingers compose symphonies
On nameless ribcages

Black widows don't label their pets
Other than with dull numbers
Making disappointing engagements
Worthwhile episodes of a life wasted

On selfish charity, superiority
Damage of clarity of human heart
Dwelling frightened, cracked and murky
In its fragile shell

Soul is a carton box
That implodes in heavy rain
While rays of sun in a marmalade jar
Mean a miracle, if piled up carefully

A man says he met God in the subway
What most don't want to listen to
See, mirror is the one true friend
As it always smiles
Yellow Mocking-birdYellow Mocking-bird

A chain of milestones
Fractured into laces
A yellow mocking-bird
Is keeping their accounts

My feet are singing
Road is running
To meet its fate and take a sneak peek
Beyond the shoulders of giants

Their silhouettes cast mist on
The moisture of sweet valleys
A myth to love of men
Who come for mining gold

River keeps flowing
Days black and freckled like your love
Shine through the cloudscape
Dividing doves into feathers

Bliss testified and multiplied
By clock ticking too loud
With that you tend to argue
Over our time it steals

Our hands are touching
Although my present is your past
Colours of your t
Too Late Too SoonToo Late Too Soon

Kindness delayed
Knocks on dirty windows
With curtains frayed
Shielding vanquished esteem

Brightness repaid
Among weeping willows
With sun will fade
Like does dime's golden gleam

Many a tear
A man's life do alter
Piling up years
For a funeral pyre

In name of fear
Every other fool falters
Unlike the sear
Setting memories on fire
RehabRehab

Ubiquitous sense of failure
Drills holes into what was soul
Content, tranquil waterfall
That swallowed both ships and sailors

Moments of true pain brought panic
An acute need to restore
What once was, will be no more
Artificial, anorganic

Indecisive premonition
Blurs the simplest truth's reflex
Leaving blistered faith perplexed
For false prophet's recognition

Arrows wasted on star chasing
Just bare hands for self-defense
Sinner's zeal's the most immense
Eye-corners with wrinkles gracing

Dogwood Rose

:iconthedarkenedbride:

Dogwood Rose

My dogwood rose, you jewel of the field
Don't rack my heart, please to my arms do yield
Trust I've seen one too many orchids gold
But what abounds in you they don't behold

You fragile beauty growing near the brook
Don't be mistaken by feathers of rook
To stranger's eyes I appear rather blunt
But in my black chest beats heart valiant

Oh, flower marked with summer's warmest scent
Can't you see how your fate with mine does blend?
To perish upon your petals I crave
This world for me hasn't a sweeter grave

summer rides a horse that either runs fast or even faster, each summer day carries the essence of laughter, friendship, careless joy... summer love then is more intense, bittersweetly decadent - it tempts, warms and exaggerates because as quickly as it started, it most likely will end :iconbeauroseplz:
