Snow prevails in the realms of Otherworlds,
And moonlit mortals imagine light flight.
Bright pink faery orbs float and dance upward,
Spirals in song producing bright delights.
At times, thought considers the other side.
Dreaming in the moment bestows lessons.
A flame amplifies the insightful mind,
And we learn to breathe in our own heavens.
The depth of the forest brings us fresh breath
While we try to fly the stellar Cosmos,
Doing all that we can to keep our health
While sparkling moonlight plays its song and glows.
Venerable Oaks and Hazels reach high,
Grounded on Earth, yet, bound to Raven's eye!

Summerween's here blazing like fire,
old nightmares are sure to transpire.
As warm days and cold fears transpire
flames grow higher, flames grow higher.
This warmth amplifies the darkness,
'Spell' spells out four letters for 'Mess'.
There is no such thing as distress
with that caress, with that caress.

A heart has nothing hidden, that a tongue will not reveal.
In flashes of stress or anger, a tongue amplifies how we feel.

Amidst the noisy world,
A unique character is bound,
Every creature has a sound,
A little moment shared, will find.
A day cold and drizzly,
Folks remain warm and sturdy,
Thin icy drops cheer their voice,
A dense squall amplifies the noise.
A rough buzz in the debate ground,
Eyes glued to the stand,
A diverging array of political discourse,
Convincingly, to retire the crowds’ doubts.
Cheers to whoever gifts the gab,
Some fellows are a conviction hub,
From thin air, they weave a narrative,
A magnetic tale, captivates even the brave.
A hard, engaging problem,
A simple mind game,
A peasant knows where to expect the most yield,
Conditions, inputs and efforts revealed.
The clock ticks, the dusk is near,
Eyes aghast, stomach butterflies in fear,
Cheers and jubilations crown the best,
Who knows what’s in mystery chest for the rest.
Leadership isn’t confined to a position,
Inability to win over crowd isn’t the end,
The courage to try is a sip of champagne,
Sit with the kings, wisdom ascends.

Within Slumber Time
Once again awake at night
Peaceful sleep, out of sight
Monkey mind, such a fight
Faded memoirs lost in flight
Queries race within my mind
Seeking answers hard to find
Feelings and thoughts combined
Fantasy and reality intertwined
Fearing scenarios not yet to be
A certain future you cannot see
Or from a past you cannot flee
Certain words you don’t agree
Lost time, as daylight softly dies
All the queries in all that implies
Worrying seemingly multiplies
As your anxiety amplifies
Questioning a reason nor rhyme
Of fond memories lost in time
A feeling of euphoria so sublime
All succumb within slumber time

I’m unbothered by cold within you,
comforted and calm in a stark light;
Jet-fueled by that taste of clarity,
the knowledge you remain in control.
My soul amplifies crystalline blue,
maniacal grin that shines so bright;
Called to your sure personality,
I’ll follow you down a rabbit hole.
Your ice brings out the fire within me,
feeding my angst just like rock and roll.

Lost inside of a sexy playlist,
made out with a one hit wonder boy;
Vintage crooning with a virgin twist;
Record for an intimate convoy,
the first track behind a one night stand;
I relented and became your toy;
Undercover art of reprimand
amplifies the volume in the air;
He jammed alone never with a band;
Just one hit with emotions laid bare,
hit replay step back in that affair.

nothing much to report
except renewal
continual
of vibrant stillness
that betwixt bliss beats
enlivens presence
with the flow
of soma nectar
dripping through nadis
bringing thus to life
dormant nodes
that all then conjoin
tango dancing in unison
creating a rhythm
that amplifies
bliss reverberations
fixating fickle attention
in the world within
aglow aflame
with magnetism
transmuting our form
into living light
at our core
wherefrom stirs
ethereal reverberations
fulfilling will of God
here and now

Oh, Lilith, circled by that vicious snake
and draped by owl wings as a feathered shawl;
hair crowned with spiraled horns for evil sake-
of which the snake itself seems to appall.
Oh, Lilith, your deep, luminous red eyes
instill cold fear while shooting fiery glow-
with a blank stare that quickly amplifies
cruel dangers brooding- waiting to bestow.
Oh, Lilith, your fake smile adorns your face
with plump lips looking sweet as rich, red wine;
yet void of love and altruistic grace-
stay coldly pursed- a threatening, grim sign.
Behind you- Hell's vast underworld now burns;
your lover waits for you- engulfed in flame.
His fiendish craving spins and wildly churns-
as you join Lucifer in depths of shame.

I sit surrounded by books and blankets,
left free to run scorched ideas go wild;
You feed a poet on stars and rockets,
set a fire inside leaving them beguiled;
Gravity’s strong as it tries to cage you,
never turn prisoner to what you see;
Transcendental plane amplifies sky blue
prose springs to life with curiosity;
Limits can not exist for a writer,
closed off their ink eventually dries;
I grab that pillow a little tighter
every piece of me will now energize;
Disappearing in someone else’s words,
your imagination reaps the rewards.

And here I am,
jeans rolled up to the knees,
barefoot, wading the shallows
with arguments tugging
at my feet, pulling me out
as if answers were waiting
beyond where the water
lifts into breaking waves,
the calm on the end
of a rip.
The incessant call
washes unrest across
my feet and seeps into where
it tunes itself to the notes
of a longing. Plucked by waves,
the plaintive sound amplifies
inside every cell.
There are times when
the sadness becomes almost
too much.
Then the sun bursts gold
and fans out its rays
into the evening sky
and everything I see,
hear and sense become
voices and shiny instruments
and I realize my lowly feet
are ankle deep in the playing
of an eternal song
even though, for me,
it's but an evening long.

Follow me to a ledge inside my mind & observe
as I leap
Many are very close to the edge but scared to jump
because they're weak
Being afraid to fall isn't the problem, it's only natural
to fear the crash
When you reach the bottom, you see yourself staring
back from a looking glass
Throw all your caution to the wind & feel the air beneath
your wings
A cage bird is free within its mind & you can hear it
when it sings
There are many things to fear in life, but fear itself is the
only cause
Don't be afraid to grow for that stunts your growth &
amplifies all your flaws
Cause & effect is natures law so it must be treated
with respect
Once I was blind to mothers' rules, but now I see
in retrospect
Have faith in self & take the leap, you just may be
caught before you fall
Once you let go, you'll see the truth, there was nothing
to fear after all

Creaking, cracking, booming…
You hear the sounds before the bridge,
mountain quiet amplifies it,
step out on the old iron truss,
and a mess unfolds before you.
Creeping, slipping, shearing…
Long breaks in what was once smooth glass,
seams by the shore where current came,
set the center moving slowly,
broken ribbon slowly pushing.
Grinding, pressing, crushing…
Like slow-motion catastrophe,
chunks shift and jostle as they move,
strike rocks on bars, break down small trees,
smears on the ice, stained by debris.
Pressing, straining, slashing…
Ice so blue it’s almost glacial,
piles up on curves and pillars,
jams the path, water bubbles up,
sends swells racing across the ice.
Chugging, seeking, streaming…
Picks up speed as it heads southwards,
to the big rivers waiting there,
the parks down by the shoreline will
soon be buried under the crush.

Travel
Zip-zip-zip the suitcases go
And we all pile into the car, ready to start the show
It’s that time of year
When my family and I travel to far away places full of cheer
Spellbound with giddiness I am
Ready to cross the border into a foreign land
Beep-beep-beep the metal detector sounds
With each techno ring I hear, in serendipity I am soused
Fly-fly-fly we zoom through the sky
I watch through the window as the cotton candy clouds go by
My heart prancing in my chest
The others in a serene slumber but my effervescent exhilaration refused to let me rest
Step-step-step I head down the stairs
With each step my agog amplifies in pairs
New horizons I see
A land exquisite and entirely extrinsic to me
Besides me stands my family
Supplying all amity I might ever need

‘Yellow day dreams
are strong like day walkers.’
Manifested in the dark with closed eyes.But is that really where they flourish? Remembered with the smell of coffee it’s like a sign for a train with a new destination.Crossing a sort of imaginary line between illogical and possible you inhale again. Breathing in everything from your restless pillow. Now the blurry concept begins to flesh itself out into the tangible. Achievable. Reachable. The vision with the light on is much more clear. Around the corner wins are closer now than they may have appeared.
Gold Sun amplifies
a wish caught by stars at night;
Serotonin boost.
