Cosmic Exhale...I gave my Breath to Nebulous Dreamworlds~2

Victoria Pettella~

 I gave my breath to nebulous dreamworlds

In my dreams

I swim in the fire 

of the Cosmos

my flesh slips away

my scars wear wings

in my dreams

I am unchained

I am wild and free

~victoria pettella~

*

To Vanish upon Strange Cosmic Moors..

I climb inside the dark heart of Night

To taste velvet flowers

To swim through veils of starlight

To satiate my soul

with sonnets of Moondust

To drink from blue veins

of endless galaxies

To ride the sparkling tail 

of the Cosmos

~victoria pettella~

I gave my breath 

to nebulous 

dreamworlds

Cosmic Exhale

80 in reverse

Time portal gleams

Where has the rabbit gone?

Auras glimmer electric

Starlight bends across 

the mystic highway

of lost poets 

and dream-keepers

I am certain we met 

somewhere before

I can feel you in my veins

We were wrapped 

in forests of aquamarine

Swam through 

flowering shards of magenta

and we wore the taste 

of the Moon in our souls

PS: 

I told that rabbit

I will always 

be your 

Alice

~victoria pettella~

Endless stars

flood my eyes

in Night's eternal 

abyss

~victoria pettella~

Every night

the stars

climb

on my skin

puncturing

my soul

with dreams 

of you

~victoria pettella~

Cosmic Exhale...I gave my breath to nebulous dreamworlds

We hung upside-down

from Summer skies

a whirlwind fever

cotton-candy fire

poems kiss lovers 

atop cosmic rides

a carnival of dreams 

flood electric eyes

a jolt emptied my pockets alive

keys and copper coins fall 

to their demise

laughter tremors

bitten lips capsize

down into the moonlit stars

young wolves rise

hunting still...

for yet another sunrise

we wander the fracture 

of blooming light

wearing drunken paint

now lost in the wires

haunting the tombs 

of our dithering minds

We hung upside-down

from Summer skies

We hung upside-down

all of our lives

*

~victoria pettella~

We have become

phantoms 

of starlight

shimmering 

across

the haunted 

veil

of the 

Cosmos

*

~victoria pettella~

The Moon 

full of sorcery 

and beauty

impaled me 

with her veil 

of blue 

fire

I gave my breath to Nebulous Dreamworlds~Cosmic Exhale

The rain floods

my veins with cosmic breath

And all my stars are permeable

they break like jewels on fire

My skin scarred

with songbirds of lightning

My memory burns down 

to mossy peridot

I feel the ashes of songs 

written long ago

travelling my tongue

I was once a little child

hauntful, creaturely 

a blackbird-soul

Sinking my feet into wild bark

Chanting to faerie 

and blossoms of Oak

Climbing forest bones

in the evening sky

I came upon a yellow butterfly

shattered by the torrent of winds

I began to cry

for I could not set her free

or will her back to life

The ravens came

and poured their stars into my hair

weaving a dreamland 

of your ancient wings

wings 

softly sewn 

inside my being

Now all my stars 

are fused

Your yellow wings

impenetrable

~victoria pettella~

Here come the dark winds

so strangely aphotic 

and whirling

lifting veils through

my glimmering mind

melodic and sweetly burning

she wears no ghosts

elastic branches 

beam cerulean 

and climb 

like forest wires 

of sapphire

the ravens dance

strewing cosmic shards 

into my gothic hair

the air is warm

as blood and there 

are electric stars

on my 

tongue

*

 ~victoria pettella~

I gave my breath to Nebulous Dreamworlds

You have turned 

my heart

into a garden

 of stars

*

~victoria pettella~

Carpe Noctem

Stay with me

For the Moon

has cut 

herself

open again

And the stars

are falling

so that you may taste

the fire

of your 

dreams

Hauntful and wistful, Summer to Autumn

The Lost and Faery-wild Forest

 

I gave my breath to Nebulous Dreamworlds ~1

~ victoria pettella~

Longing for wildflowers

she 

was like the wind

eternal 

and longing

for wildflowers

like a bird 

deepening 

her song

and pouring her 

honey-wings

into the wounds of sunlit 

meadows

My dreaming skin

It is the wild lark

pecking through 

my dreaming 

skin

telling me my wounds can fly

telling me my scars 

are thin

biting through 

emerald veins and dead 

flowers

setting fire 

to moon-kissed flesh

in Summer's final 

hours

I have ripped 

myself 

o p e n

so I can climb 

the Autumn trees

My light escaping

the dark bird 

in me

solitude

a beautiful abyss

an exquisite loneliness

a longing for the soul

victoria pettella

I gave my breath to nebulous dreamworlds

I swam through 

Night's obsidian heart

Tasted velvet skulls 

and moonflowers

Painted my skin

in the blood-nectar 

of starlight

and gave my breath 

to nebulous dreamworlds

The Moon adorned me

in her most radiant armour

and set me adrift

upon waves

of the Eternal

Herbarium

The softening strands 

of existence 

the lasting wounds 

of impermanence

here we kissed the dying sunlight

wafting wild from our dreaming lips

luminous threads 

weaving dark flowers 

through our skin

strange forests , phantom nectars 

steeped in secret 

here on the gentle brink 

the blackening cosmos

never told me why

my eyes remember yours

and eternal-sleep came to taste 

the decadent-haze

of my final breath

the moon parting my skin 

the sacred chasm within

can you see my bouquet of bones? 

my skeletal pyre burns sweet 

and stains the wind with lilac 

I have slipped far past a lingering wave 

a herbarium of invisible flesh

where burning stars once lived

Summer's veil

Where I have been lately..

Dreaming with the foxgloves 

along Summer's veil

Reading poems

under the ghost-bride 

of moonlight

Chanting as all wild-hearted 

witches do in the forest

Wandering through the towers 

of goldenrod and sorcerer's violet

Offering my soul 

to the rain-soaked gardens

Swallowing the sunlight

in the mossy labyrinth-womb

Standing still in the bones 

of the blue night

Listening to the creatures 

and leaving offerings

Tangling into branches 

searching for wisdom

Sleeping in the ivy 

and waking against the bark

Harvesting mother's greenery 

and weaving new seeds

Letting my spirit dance 

with the never-ending cosmos

Finding my freedom 

in the season of light

eternal-spiral~skin

one night of fireflies 

and wine I wandered

through the tall sweetgrass

my skin fell away 

into colored shards of mica

the sky swallowed me whole

as though I were an offering

I felt the cosmic mists

take hold and whisper to me 

within

dancing through 

like wild dragonflies

a divine collision,  

spirals and tails

sliding down an endless spell 

of Moons

i carry the memory as a child 

now gone

and still I cling 

to molten stars

still i dream of worlds afar

I never could quite see your face

but it has always belonged 

to my heart

it carved a sacred meadow 

through my soul

and returned me

through spheres of pinks 

and gold

shimmering skins

fastened with light

a vessel pours me back 

to life

starry elixir

stitched into my hand

I awake beneath the Birch, 

glass and sand.

~victoria pettella~

I gave my breath to nebulous dreamworlds

*

In my dreams

the Raven 

pecks through

my sleeping heart

and feeds it

to the whirling 

Cosmos
