Blue Bindings Aloft

I no longer trust the vows of marriage
For years, Vikings have built mystical Runes.
We once soared forth in golden carriages.
Now every dawn returns our dreamy tunes.

A faery, I remain in vibrant flight.
A mystic born with Stardust and Cosmos.
My flight dreams transcend the mind's starry night
To realms where big truths and visions arise.

Handfasted once beneath the ancient Oak
Amid unwinding breaths of whispered wind,
Now freed to ride the cosmic tides evoked,
Ascending where the Celestials began.

No human heart knows where I am flying
With defiant fantasies unflinching.

A short ALOFT

I see you in Albany
yet you pull away from the call
aloft to all those that care

Gone are the fields
once mellow blue
that curved and glided,
that tears at your heart

Try to dream
beneath the trees
Heed the call

Grand old Aunt

Aunt unilateral, naughtily tempting,
Unintentionally naughty toyboys attracting,
Nicely tantalizes ardent uniting,
Teleporting aloft, usurping NASA!

International Soul Aloft

This beautifully designed
Spring, star-studded night.
Alive within these brave souls
Of courage, truly, a breathless,
Singular, moving delight!

I am not here to be an advocate 
Only for me, a most piteous plea!
Yelping, as a child,pay attention to me.
But to also support oppressed
others, so far across the sea!
Kiiled with bloody, enthusiastic,
Antediluvian treachery!

Provincial~ oh, this I am not!
May freedom be, bravely begot.
Internationally, born thoughts,
Keep my soul high in flight aloft!
My soul tonight with immense
celebration, in ecstasy, caught!

Sit Aloft a Bird On a Nest-

Aloft sits a bird in the corner above mine front door;
Spirited wings flapping so;
Opened mouthed chicklets trumpets pour;

Droppings food for its young to and for;

Aloof Aloft

magpie struts haughty
its demeanor black and white
flips betwixt between

From the Strums of Teague

Cleanfill and cement
selected pigments of orange and blue
a stiff chilling sky blue hue
to create a scenic spektical
beauty
marks the walls a sight for
people to admire
perfection
and style Phor-Lustoreteaze
the sight of marveled perfection

the lavishness
and her beauty
makes grown men
crumble and fall
her smile and capitavtivness
make me more eager to call
guess I oughta
doll up for her
since she so pretty
and everything
I bought a watch in
dellrio
these diamonds go
with everything

Aloft a Tune of Yesterday

Moody Blues is playing through my speakers

                                    And my mind

                  A gentle tune of yesterday that feels so 

                                       Very kind

                          Tuesday afternoon, a fairyland

                                         of awe

                      Plays scenes of yesters' visions

                            From youthful dreams 

                                          I saw

                       I close my eyes, time drifts away

                                    Aloft a tune, 

                                    of yesterday

Eagles Aloft But Disguised

I
Humans are divine, but watch & emulate pigs

II
We have body-vehicles; "I'm my car," is like thinking you are poultry 

III
Scripture helps us recall our divinity (versus eating with pigs, as the fate of The rude spendthrift & HEIR in LUKE 15, teaches us)

IV
Earthly problems drag us to poultry level.

Recall you are an eagle; fly with eagles

Blue Flag Aloft

The ship in the harbor is sailing
with a blue flag aloft;
returned from a season of trading,
its crew is in sorrow for the captain has crossed
from this life into the great unveiling
at God's golden shore.


Note: If you are sad and describe yourself as "feeling blue," you are using a phrase coined from a custom among many old deepwater sailing ships. If the ship lost the captain or any of the officers during its voyage, she would fly blue flags and have a blue band painted along her entire hull when returning to home port.

Heart's Aloft Toward Heavens Floor-

~hearts aloft the soul
spirit rises it so soars
neath the heavens floor~

Hills Aloft

Gold at the center
Ringed with black 
Standing on silver 
Never looking back

Coolest windswept 
Hills aloft the sea
Looking toward heaven 
Never more to be

Sun scorched and burnt
Now entirely free
Looking at the shadows 
Tossed across the sea

Aloft

A little bird told me,
you're out of the nest.

Swept Aloft

I walk the shore caressed in smiles
   Touched by a thousand memories
       Swept aloft by perfumed sighs
           In the curl of your embrace
              Mermaids carry my love to you
                 The tide returns with your kiss

A Twitted Crow Flies Aloft

Off the perch with shame beneath,
A Twitted crow flies aloft.
Hoping spectrum, blues and reds,
Dreadful notions, ugly skin!

Bracken wings, rotten look,
Rocking black, freakish beak,
Squawking hard, aiming high,
Cracking sound, beating trees!

Nasty fight that broke his heart,
Thrown afar from family,
Roots unknown yet fallen prey,
Lost he was to mystery.

Spreading wings, beating firm,
Gazing sharp, locking claws,
Diving down, mighty strong,
Fighting back, lengthy dusk.
