-
One man in a billion can build a castle,
and it takes only six lucky numbers -
"Did you hear about the storm?"
"Orleans again? Such a troublesome little city, -
Rain falls over slick city streets,
clattering on tin roofs as men bustle to meetings -
Earth wrapped her flowered fingers around the moon
and brushed dust from its craters into the skyby Night Phoenix 47 lines, on Oct 4 9:37 PM. In Fantasy -
Her smile is lost on the millions of stoic faces
passing by, their ears filled with violent bees, -
Shadow drips heavy in the isolated silence.
Strigoi blood boils in his veins, -
His green-blue eyes stare into the bottomless pit.
-
Sunlight streaks in the shine of sweat
upon the back of a bay gelding. -
Pigeons bob their grey-feathered heads
at the lonely-eyed girl sitting on the stairs.by Night Phoenix 37 lines, on Jun 25 6:06 PM. In Hope -
Candy cane spires arch to the cloudy sky.
Pale green counters shine under electric lights, -
Bare feet dip into the iced water,
guppies nip at her toes and she leaps -
Willow tree sways beneath the early stars
that peep through dusk on a waiting world.by Night Phoenix 13 lines, 4 comments, on Jun 24 12:54 PM. In Nature -
Thunderous ocean wind pulls tatters from his trench coat,
howling waves cursing the life he steals. -
Sunlight glints of her bare scalp,
heavy eyes fixed on the empty canvas. -
She spreads her arms wide and feels the wind.
It swims through the folds in her summer dress, -
Sunshine tastes like sour lemonade on my lips.
Ghostly fingerprints dig into the foam padding -
Juicy golden kernels shine in the moonlight,
barely contained within fibrous sheath. -
-
Friendship can hit you like a swift punch to the jaw.
-
Ten little toes went a-picnicking
among the ticklish green grass -
Let the nighttime currents rustle
fine red fur as two beady eyes -
Razor steps cut into the pavement and her eyes aim silver bullets.
The hunter breathes arsenic and she watches. -
Robin guards her nest
as predators approach it -
Mother Panda waits
for her cubs to return homeby Night Phoenix 2 lines, on Jun 23 1:52 PM. In Nature -
Long legs and a crisp summer dress
spin around in dizzy circles, -
Delicate fingers wrap around old feather quill.
It seems so long since butterflies last danced in her hair, -
Little strawberry pushes her way
between the legs of a thousand people -
Crow caws at the ink blot clouds
as they tunnel through shades of blue -
Rainbow swirls taste like sunshine
on her tongue as she forgets -
Bitter berries lavish her lips as she smiles poison.
Crystal in her hand mirrors her heart -
Bionic gestures reflect on wax floors,
an upside down mirror of skewed anomalies.by Night Phoenix 35 lines, 8 comments, on Nov 2 8:03 AM 2008. In Contemporary, Personal, Thoughts, Society -
Arsenic drips down arthritic branches
(disguised as dewdrops) -
I can make a dream
from pixie dust and sulfur.
