Psychobabble

"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

Love for our children supersedes all other desires. Dare we not seek ever their advancement, their peace and joy--their prosperous lot in life? Dare we not acknowledge they are the greatest of gifts and the love thus shared a bountiful blessing from heaven? Watching that growth feeling its sprouting from seed to maturity- a bountiful gift. Great poem- one from the heart, A fav..

Children always must be placed first; that being said, I understand the courage it must take for your wife at present, with her current journey, so she must be given respect before the prodigy. Keep writing, it is the strength that fuels you ...

Even after mothers (and fathers) are long gone, dead and buried, they remain inside you. Love, like ivy, will continue to cover all walls and penetrate its reach through all barriers, with its stories ; edible flowers and weeds to swallow and digest. Protective circles, dissolve and hold no power, at that point in time and after. They visit you in your dreams. Haunting.

of course, I'm speaking about parents that hold the purest love and intent for their children. My comment below, envelops the positive scenario for a parent-child relationship. With regard to alienation, Love always finds a way home, in many forms.

"Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on Earth. For what they 'believe' is what they will 'become'".
