The Bluest Flame

Wild

my bones 

could not feel death

the rain in my skull 

wore the bruise 

of lonely flowers

Alone

near the strange 

mossy hollow

the rabbit fell away 

like mist

and I was no longer lost

For the endless 

glimmering thread

split itself 

upon the bluest flame

and I was free

I am 

a strange creature

in love

with my own hauntings

It is the scar of Dawn 

that lingers Upon 

the Dragon's stolen-Breath

The skull of lone-Bird

in regal-sunset

The darkling-Oak 

to the wild Fairy-heart

The Bard of solace to the dying Lark

It is the splintered Star

Upon Night's

jagged -tongue

the Lost-Meadowhawk

stitching

her way

back to the

Sun

And when the lamp-light Heart 

becomes a looming-Sky

full of hurricane-birds 

and haunted-Song

the Coyote-Willow bleeds down fast

into the feral-dust of Invisible Arms

For Autumn sends her Bonfire-ghosts

into the vanishing welts of Dawn

to kiss vaporous-Wings 

of fractured birds 

Now faded, wistful 

And gone

~victoria pettella~

She fell into the arms
of the dying forest
and gave all of her flesh
to the wilds
of earth

In the deeps 

of the Eternal

Silver ravens plucked stars 

from my soul

Spiders made graves of lace 

in my skull

Fireflies danced their light

into my bones

and Autumn's grimoire 

set itself on fire

In Winter sings

a silent bird

that only those near death

can hear

INVISIBLE CREATURES..

Veins of Emerald-Armour

The Trees 

pour their Emerald-Armour

into my veins

Forest-Marrow fills my bones

My dreaming-flesh

wears the Floral-Shield of Faery

My heart long dead

in the bark

To All Things Otherworldly and Beautiful...Destroy me

I would rather take the risk

of being destroyed

by something

otherworldly and beautiful

than to keep living

in an empty tomb

with nothing extraordinary

to weep for

~victoria pettella~

*______________*

Lay with me beneath

the sharpened husk

of the Moon

Braid my raven-hair

with blue stars and sapphires

Sing me your dark Autumn-song

Let me belong only to you

and make a sinewed grave of magic

for our flesh to sigh and dream 

forevermore

poems for...Invisible Creatures

So hauntful-glows 

my Faerie-torn heart

wounds -Upon-tide 

and Worlds they-meld

All in the Moonlit-dark

Searing, jagged-waves burn

Across the Vampyric-clock 

Skeleton-keys lost 

in the hungering-Winds

To the Enchantress hidden-Nigh

fernseed-dried and crystals buried 

in the Forest-Tomb

The Red-fox gathers 

Round the Elm-tree-Eye

and the rain-kissed Roots

where lullabies of Dark 

weep in the Earth

where the sad-Witch-lass 

burned and burned

And her Heart-lay

beneath the Emerald-mound

armoured in metal 

encased in a locked-box

with lost-poems, the Darkest-stars 

and such Lonely-torn-moths

 We are Blue Wildfire

poems for invisible creatures

*______*

I have been wearing

the Lost-Stars

Feeding from death

Swimming in Fire and Ashes

Seeding my wounds

in the-Evermore

of unanswered-dreams

Searching the drifting

galaxies

Someone send me a sign

I have been dying

for years

Someone send me a sign

I have been alive 

on the Other-side

of the Universe....

Waiting to merge

explode, bend into light

Waiting to find you

A haunting-Plethora

of nothingness

still carries the Light 

from your

sleeping-Heart

I wear your Starlight

and your Sword

Stitched to the Cosmos

last-lingering-Veins

Hoping you will find me

inside the Breath

Of this Lonely-dream

~victoria pettella~

poems for invisible creatures

No longer impermeable 
Light glimmers from the veil of the Moon 
She has come to taste and free my wounds 
Cosmic Ghosts soak me in Auric Bloom… 
For I am no longer caged in dreams 
No longer a dormant seed 
No longer impermeable
My soul in transit
Now winged and free

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

Endless 

Stars

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

~victoria pettella~

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...

and it was there

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 so 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
