Glow Worm

Velcro ripped and soda fizz Velvet crushed Moroccan night Nocturnal buterflies those flickering fireflies Our winking spies like circling satelites Coming together , we fissures of light Delicious refrain we split like pomegranite Love spinning round the sun and the planets Mortally chiselled on tombstone of granite Hark ! Who goes there this Luciferous night Its only I with my faltering lantern Dragging behind attached little light Fallen firefly - slow creeping glow worm Mid air flight hangs the hateful things we said Farewell this, heres lookin' at you kid

Another poetic jewel from your talented pen, Jannie. The opening line is eye-catching ... velcro ripped and soda fizz. My first impression was: where will this thought go? Your mysterious, cerebral writes never disappoints. The ending was so noir cinema verite cool. Baby, you're the best. Wow poetry! Love and much respect always.
