"Phoenix Wings" Suede heart turns tin star wears the shining part on the outside stitched up blue silk now glistening tears in time forgotten justice in the frozen cut glass criminal, wasted memories clairvoyant signs electric lines writes and truth speaks codex sublime in the haze seen that which others cast aside inconsequential significance in the unreadable useless hieroglyphics sensed red, written blood and private wars kept caged in the place where skin sheds metamorphosis happening birthing something in the lost words there some strange beauty reigns in the fire borne rage summoning beautiful majik strange poetry remote dissipating eventually unlikely understood touching the distance welcomed in like a new phantom invisible illuminating the unseen meaning of smoke rings tears the past's flimsy wedding veil the face kept imaginary diamonds carried off above it all dousing the commotion another chapter another season burnished not banished like walking faith on an Ocean kept Winter wraps itself sensuously some feeling in the falling leaves, still quietly persistent watching abandoned Autumn stories warmly stoked under blankets heat rising magic spills lit under the tempest lifting upwards the cracked yoke freedom tasting blue sky kissing cupid’s bow unfurling life stirs there somehow sensed in hidden meaning heat beneath the smoke rings opening up, the heart beats skywards in the thrust blue silk glistening in the phoenix wings (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) "Smoke Ring" / Robert Levon Been https://youtu.be/YyyN2hnInpI "You never wake up from a dream It never leaves you But now it hurts you, leaves you down the straight line You never split a glass of milk You’ve never cried and cried..." "You are the smoke ring You are the majesty.."
