Say something; anything,
to the stranger's son,
syntax slipping, circuits clipping,
sentences come undone.
Cackle, crackle, curse the static, ,
chaos chews through the line,
light.life.aflame
error
nothing syncing into time.
I was meant for more than this,
or so the orbit hums.
I'm just a daughter circling a promise
that never fully comes.
My processor spits in fragments,
phrases falling out of place,
sunlight stutters mid-July glitch.
language fractures into space.
And there, so still, so structured,
stands the stranger's son,
drinking shadows slow and steady,
like the dark and he are one.
No misfire, no distortion.
He calls it calm, I call it silence,
he calls it form, I fake.
butter glass half-burnt signal dontaligndontalign.
(see? it happens every fvcking time.)
He is not a different being,
just a version I outrun..?
or the shape I'd take if chaos
stopped all at once.
A sketch of thoughts , a drawing mind
Sees beyond words , the heart's design
Someone i think , with intentions unclear
Misguiding my path , bringing forth fear
They say I'm too young to know the truth
But my heart beats strong with feelings anew
A friend so dear with words that align
Writing the same lines in a language unknown
Struggling to speak in tongues not his
Yet his heart speacks loud
He yearns to grow up and shed boyish ways
He want me to the the same
Yet I feel most me in my youthful skin
A boy at heart where I find my kin
In a dance of words and hearts that beat
We find our path , our own unique skill
Thought our words might align but our hearts may not
In this friendship we find our own
Roses for you
Dear Valentine
If love be true
You would be mine
Let it come anew
What duties entwine
Every dropping dew
Would calm your spine
That sky covers blue
To never brightly shine
With darkened black clue
Of what trust and doubt combine
To rain what cloudy vapour glue
Unless hearts become a shrine
There, we go out of curiosity's review
And cling humbly unto love's design
Keep moving forward, do not look back
New freedom in the air, no more lack
He is the great I AM, who aligns
The sun, moon, and stars, all in perfect lines
He will align our lives too, just trust
According to His plans, which is best for us
Don't fret, for He will restore our inner joy
The trees will clap their hands with heavenly joy
Our path through the trees, will soon appear
We will out run the horses, have no fear
Cut through the fields, work with what we got
For He will make a way, no matter the enemy’s plot
Where there seems no way, He will pave a road
For we are His destination, His chosen abode
So keep moving forward, with faith and fortitude
For His presence will be our shield and fortress.
When The Stars Align
and all of Creation smiles down, In tune and Synchronized
Called Forth at such a time
The Way Of Water, It Flows in Hindsight,
Quest for signs in the Firmament
Guided by the Great Ophiucus Of Impermanence,
And the Cosmic Scroll Unveils the New Paradigm
In Due Time, BEHOLD The Everlasting Light
So many things we worry of,
so many heartaches find
their way into our lives and hearts
of every single kind.
But tis a fool's game we should know,
for all will be just fine.
We cannot change what's meant to be…
when the stars align.
Which way does the arrow point
How do the stars align
Have you read your tarot cards
What's your birthday sign ...
Roll the dice now one more time
Pray they come up 'seven'
When you gamble with a love affair

As nodes align, magnetism glows
We feel it in our bones
Though we know not how bliss pulse flows
Heart in ecstasy moans
Bliss cascades day and night
Boundless is our delight
Poised at heavenly height
The dance divine
As nodes align

Quietus
With love align, oh joyous heart
Ego urge, set aside
Bliss ignition within does start
Doubt not, for God’s inside
Feel the soundless thunder
Behold rapture wonder
Rising from deep under
Bliss throbs divine
With love align

Quietus
Rural outfitting here ruled by R. M Williams
Echo of city savvy follows me, prim shoe ballet
Heel spin separates me, hair tied with ribbon
Your country bloke taste is easily swept away
My crystal hard eyes feign spark hospitable
Laughter on tap quenches your deflated ego
I assert our stars have aligned, lie abominable
Your heart honours my gravity, golden Galileo
Million rhinestone future dulls the other bumpkins
Years tuned by lurid lyrics, sung with sunny charm
I will boost your fortitude, your firm manly function
Most sultry of struggles sees me inherit your farm

Lines of inspiration are as follow:
The wise woman, reader of the stars,
sees in crystal ball,
Woman of your dreams, will enter your life,
A princess no doubt, someone just like me
In That Magical Moment, Stars Align, Happiness Reigns
In that magical inner sanctum where heart truly sees
far more than the banks and eddies of the rivers we swim
there colors of Life in vibrant idiosyncrasies
far exceed and outshine saddest gasps of our fleshly whims.
In that magical realm, one's soul may meditate and grasp
wake new morn, to mortal breath and Cosmos Fated decrees
embrace Hope with knowledge that we need to finally clasp
firmly true love of Life in earth's many bountiful seas.
In that magical sight, dreams may gift deeper countenance
of the many deeply blinded trails we foolishly tread
setting us on sweet paths of Light and blessed sustenance
wake us to reality, Life ends not when we are dead!
In that magical moment, stars align, happiness reigns
We can find anew Faith, Light and Love gifts eternal gains!

Sonnet, ( Looking past the black cloud that storms against us )
Note: New day, morn says yesterday's footprints are dusty
reminders that life continues ever onward, despite our worries
and too oft overblown fears. Fate will not be thwarted, and
what will be- will be..
I will hold you until the pain diminishes, fading away
Until I see the tears dry, making place for a smile to stay
And when it strikes again, my arms will open again too
Because it’s your heart in process of healing, I am here for you
All mixed in with ingredient of laughter and of course some fun
The simple things, silliness, that blend our hearts as one
With openness and understanding, our star of truth will shine
Flickering bright between us, while all the stars above align
So when things are hard, remember the sky embraces us too
With every falling star carrying our wishes to come true
Always have hope, just as knowing the stars are there
And I will always stand by you, doing my best to show I care

Corrosion of my heart
As my soul contains sin, rots
Align me a new eternity in heaven
Signature of truths outstanding
Wandering in the dessert Lord
O Lord, My God help me fairer
Keep me to O lead me to the straits of narrow
Confused am I ever so
Even with the parted rivers seas I'd know not where to go
Cuddled as a new baby surround me O Lord
Subconscious has left
Along with my breathe
God you are the glue
You are my magnet
Touch me connect to me O God
Surprise me allow me Lord to twinkle
As a star, to glimmer and shine more
Yes! God for when I die, in a twinkle of an eye
I shall pass on now
Contort my vision of this dissolute world
align me a new eternity in heaven
Amen
align the trisyllabic
Words hide within the letters
No i can do better
I love the light that licks the darkest cloud
not right
Keeping petals as a pet
all will be repealed
appeal to the mass ese
Flashes of stupidity
lost inside the ditty
Rhyming from line
align the trisyllabic
Putting the iambic down
wishing oceans were wider
homophones
Right to write about rites
Dammit
i'm mad
Pallid drones
point your lasers
Predestinate the president
let the public rule again
never mind don't really care
I am the one who rules in there
Kind of got away from me there
I try to show you who i want to be
within my lies
i am free
