The blue vermin on the chimney mouth opened wide eyes staring at the freckled sky subtle tingling sensations on skin breath turned, hands searched emotions travel on a wild sea fingers nestle softly, nightlights dance Pupils watch, vermin sleeps music of the mystic moon taking the clouds for a ride A distant cry, haunted night a subterfuge of passion homage to the Aphrodite nails torn, lips red with wound the door left ajar Sounds in the surreal silence fibres of blood bathing in heat mountains, caves, seas of earth flicker, explode and cool down
The blue snake gone A whispering owl stares at the benighted pangs of dale brown diamonds coruscate in flaccidity

Excellent work again as usual...quite an original style. Very nice. Blessings, Holly
If your bio picture is any indication of your real age at present, and taking into consideration that this poem is 9 years old, I'd have to say, Saberi, that your Mother gave birth to a gifted child with a quill nestled in her hand at a very young age.
I enjoyed some of the orphic imagery in this ... and also some of the words you chose to paint your thoughts.
coruscate
flaccidity
I see this line as ... Brown diamonds (or those artists that have not reached their potential as yet) still reflecting brightly, or exhibiting a kind of virtuosity while remaining soft or malleable to influences. Very unique!
"music of the mystic moon
taking the clouds for a ride"
this is a delightful image, very evocative of experiences in my own life. Welcome to AD!
