THE GLASS HOUSE

THE GLASS HOUSE A steel wing chars; boche scour the rout Two lads pour blood and plunge in hay. Dawn sprays its light; Paul stirs for toil He prods an arm; moans rend his shed The crew pleads aid to save their fight. Paul springs a spy; she plucks his m ice and melts like rime so owls will starve. A... Sign in to see full entry.

CRYSTAL MOMENTS

CRYSTAL MOMENTS I saw buds rain; the sun did whirl A girl in lace sailed through its globe. She bore God's star; it signed her brow Her eyes spilt dew and spied art gored. She bowed to kiss my page of chaff The trite words fled, so verse spun hues. She cast that star to bid her adieu A gilt cloud... Sign in to see full entry.

O MYSTICAL MOON

O MYSTICAL MOON I hail the moon; he primes his torch to salve my rest as gales gust ire. It rips gold robes of oak and lime They twirl in air; their song a dirge. My night king grins; this war is fate It will not stab his reign of bliss. His maids are stars to cheer the realm And charm a muse that... Sign in to see full entry.

PALACE OF LIGHT

PALACE OF LIGHT I prayed for light when rapt in trance A gold dome rose to brush pure wings Its bell tolled thrice; each note was code. I melted through walls of marble and sun A high born lamb let gush his blood that mixed with tears for man's torn grace. He signed vast souls to sweep the earth and... Sign in to see full entry.

TO THE DIADEM OF LOVE

TO THE DIADEM OF LOVE I dream of crowns honed in God's light. In vision I glide to pledge my vows in the grand hall where stately kings rule. Drapes of pink satin robe altar and aisle a holy scent sails as the priest chants and conjures a Count whose gaze fires hearts. He proffers his seal, this... Sign in to see full entry.

CELESTIAL SPLENDOUR

CELESTIAL SPLENDOUR The sea is lace; waves strum their chords They kiss the sand to wake gold silk. Sun rains glass beads to adorn her realm she dyes milk skin; her gift a tatoo. Babes craft grand forts; the salt air sings "vieni qua, vieni qua! Vous compra, vous compra?" Clack, clack, balls whizz;... Sign in to see full entry.

PERPETUAL SIGHS

PERPETUAL SIGHS Love pines in thorns; the parting is blood! Sweet robin red robed I pray you desc end to pluck my barbs; salve me with song. Crown me with blooms from the tree blest that charmed to life a winsome dark prince. Stir the puff balls; will them to sail to his flayed soul whose dreams are... Sign in to see full entry.

TO MUSIC DIVINE

TO MUSIC DIVINE Oh let bells chime; may glad notes waltz to twang my heart with strains of love. You mellow my mood; bear me on wings Gilt key you loose my lofty words chained. Oh power, my light, play long and endure! Your beat sears chaff; stirs visions from shade. It stills the earth so beauty... Sign in to see full entry.

HALCYON ISLAND

HALCYON ISLAND Ruth potters in stalls; a pearl ring winks It tickles her heart; she models its grace. A pillar of light propels her to clouds Time and space whirl; the old world melts. A white isle glints; two seraphs chant prayers Ruth bows and kneels; her garb is regal. The angel priest sings to... Sign in to see full entry.

PROFESSOR KITZEL'S LAB

PROFESSOR KITZEL'S LAB His brews gush foam; their bright hues flare Steam roars and blasts; the ceiling tiles crash. A tremor rends glass; grand toil bleeds, felled Prof Kitzel is soot; his grey mane tall A volley of jeers zooms in to gore. He parries the darts; a marvel glues hope One jug sparks...
