Poem
"Psychobabble" She plants the seeds in Her mind through the fathomless oceanful wells of Her eyes saltwater falls over the unchartered sharp edges of Her tight boundaries to the playing fields Elysian where She waits impatiently in all Her glowing warm-skinned dreams black words turn to gold, shining, over every dark knight like a beacon cornucopia goat-horned overflowing with flowers the scent of Addison a road lined with pungent seductive heraldic fleur-de-lis tall stemmed beckoning velvet petalled temptations oriental lilies intoxicating the sensate Pandora Box Pink luscious and unfurling slowly exposing their long quivering stamens taken by the sea's breeze dusts the war table with ochre an addictive powder taken and stained in a memory calling the girl home outside the lines of a protective circle fringed by funereal violet-blue, do not She says, in short passing conversation - bring Agapanthus to the final roll call. The girl is drawn witnessing it all young eyed and ancient in Her fattening wisdom watching wet green cold-skinned geckos changing automatic colours clicking tongues they speak to each other in codes climbing walls watching cracked eggs fall they are dry skinned with scales and purely reptilian terrestrial Salamander five digits pink tongued long-storied on a prize wall well hung magic frog kingdom moist-skinned princes kissed an hallucinatory poison necessary at some point in Her tears swim amphibious and indifferent away from it all like legless tadpoles lacking experience and the unnecessary understanding gratitude is swallowed life begins again outside the protection of a circle The girl is drawn into a woman in Her future, A brief conversation on the wall Addison and Psychobabble geckos changing colours clicking tongues watching cracked eggs fall Outside the tight confined boundaries of a protective circle Codes like blood read and well-written on a wall (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) gvlm ljb-vcb llb, klb, mlb "Gratification" / extraweg https://youtu.be/eafgVA1-q8w for gvlm https://youtu.be/-9JRFK5-S84 https://youtu.be/SfA4TKNcaBw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychobabble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium
