Psychedelic Sunshine
PSYCHEDELIC SUNSHINE
psychedelic sunshine,
with cephalopod rays,
stretches upward
to the blue-eyed heavens.
commander of sea and skies -
the waistline of the bittersweet sun -
under the tendril waves.
sweet suckers stamp stars,
visible in twilight hours,
kissed and sent to bed until then.
effervescent overtones,
bubble and foam,
with toy ships that sail
with mighty magnitude,
limited by the mercy of the sea.
a savage, boiling beast.
tis crossed precariously.
cephalopod rays, can plunge
suddenly, into the ocean depths.
clouds scurry to lambaste
the sailors, without warning.
enjoy the euphoric waters,
but don’t be fooled
by their siren daughters.
