Violets Are Blue


“Violets are Blue” 

In this new space
you came in fast
like a meteor
I hesitate to say
you were smooth

in this new space
no one can hear 
the sound bite, 
but they 
see the thoughts 

of you 

behind the windows
of their craft 
helpless of this 
new lifeform 
this evolving state

of undress
addressing the
lack of hesitation
such a masterful
command in control 

of a new language
sans speaking
sans ray bans 
a new ecstatic view
a Barlow Lens creation

it outshines 
the notion 
of violets are blue

the star ship voyager voyeur
come in out of the cold
from the big blue
like a sky god 
you smile, 

you think, danger
danger will robinson,
cheese, is only
for the Moon,
but missing gravity 

lost in space
is enough to make, 
an ancient 
astronaut 
swoon

you’re way past 
Major Tom 
and ground control;
the court's yours
you think, a 
slam dunk sink

incorrigible
spirit so blithe
piloting this new space
The Watchers
besides themselves

who's steering 
the ship? now?
at the windows
hard pressed
observing new hues

absent crew
confederate ghosts 
burning up a storm
in the cosmic mist
such lascivious lifeforms

sans sans
sans Ray Bans
a new ecstatic view
a Barlow Lens 
situation 

it outshines 
the notion 
of violets are blue

"It was vpon a Sommers shynie day, When Titan faire his beames did display, In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew, She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay; She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew, And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew"

"Till faint through irkesome wearinesse, adowne Vpon the grassie ground her selfe she layd To sleepe, the whiles a gentle slombring swowne Vpon her fell all naked bare displayd; The sunne-beames bright vpon her body playd, Being through former bathing mollifide, And pierst into her wombe, where they embayd With so sweet sence and secret power vnspide, That in her pregnant flesh they shortly fructifide. Miraculous may seeme to him, that reades So straunge ensample of conception; But reason teacheth that the fruitfull seades Of all things liuing, through impression Of the sunbeames in moyst complexion, Doe life conceiue and quickned are by kynd: So after Nilus invndation, Infinite shapes of creatures men do fynd, Informed in the mud, on which the Sunne hath shynd."
