Fancy-Free Innocence

FANCY-FREE INNOCENCE

     fancy-free with poetic slippers,
zoetic zephyr on tippy-toes.
               a ballerina schemes in untouched colors.

        words pop, revive,
                                      undaunted,
                                                         untainted.
streamers of ink with charismatic truths,

                                     crown of free spirit, unfeignedly pulsating.
  a poet whose heart glows in the dark -
           an enigmatic spark, she’s a blue flame.
she’s like the teasing wind that rustles the wheat.
       the virgin flame dances through black and white.

                 her full skirt flaunts a dynamic rainbow halo -

this enchanting paradigm, gypsy of paradise.
             her hem never touches the ground,
                        hypnagogic hues transcend the soul.
                   Does the poet surrender her fancy-free innocence

 to authority’s chains that long to claim her prize?
      the autumn leaves, blow beautiful, o’er ground

she floats on zero gravity never landing.
