Screams in the daylight
No judge nor jury, bad sins
Archipelago
Archipelago, a word rarely spoken
Dictionary lists it as a token
gesture to eggheads and nerds
who have to know every word
Just don’t ask Humpty-Dumpty
~ his recollection’s broken
Green waters circumscribe an island’s pallid face,
Hexagons of light, scattered jewels on the waves.
Earthly hues, against litharge seas, shimmering gleam;
Albatross wings glide, an immaculate blue dream.
The scene suspends time, and worldly cares release -
A whisper for the human eye, a quiet aurora’s peace.
As prose and verses are fabled,
the rain cats and dogs.
Love is endorphinated,
hug Dutch wife tightly.
A cup of Java,
occupied.
Nice?
The river of love
that
our hearts carry
to
Lord's archipelago leads
without fail!
