Orion in the heaven with your belt of stars
Bedazzling fair young ones after setting of the sun,
Senses becoming feldspars of obsession
Emerging from dream-threads finespun,
Secreted away from light of day,
Shadowed by the vines of deadly nightshade
Inside the mind of precocious, provoked youth-
Onward sauntering into life as if it’s an arcade,
Not comprehending reality has no reset booth.
is a cheap hollow
chocolate bunny
that doesn’t even taste good
from the outside.
Living is not captured
in smiles or poses or
perfected moments
jumping on a beach
in white with all the relatives,
or partying and being bedazzling
when you are 20-some
for strangers and followers
whom you don’t know
and will forget you tomorrow
(or when you become redundant,
boring, older,
or just too real
for comfort
or probing publicity).
I want the pretty.
I want escapism.
I want to see
what I can’t see
from my lackluster
backyard, where the
bird feeders
are always empty
and the garden shed
is an eyesore.
Just write poetry.
Just keep writing
and dreams will come.
I am speaking to Victoria
(my boa constrictor)
as I brush my hair
like Medusa
with words
and Persephone
methodically
all God's creatures
are great
maybe
Victoria
breathes in short puffs
with her black tongue
in my ear
and I hear beauty in it
I respect God
and all his Creatures
because he created them
methodically
“Stop acting like
a disgruntled
pelican!”
Only Catherine
(All ears on O’Hara)
Can pull that off
methodically
To craft a line that’s nice and tight
about a failed attempt to write…
well, something just doesn’t seem right,
but I will not put up a fight;
I shall instead call it a night.
For if I rest my head, I might
through slumbered sleep gain some insight
quick captured at the dawn’s first light
a little gem, bedazzling, bright
the pulse to race, the heart, excite
and end this literary blight.
I kiss his bedazzling framed picture,
Every time, I miss my former mister.
I gently hold my own cheek imagining
How he used to do so in a way so endearing.
In the unpretentious backyard
Of my house— not a home,
Bloomed a bird's nest
Concealed concernedly
In the benevolent branches
Of the dear aged tremulous tree.
When I noticed the nest nearly,
House felt like a home dearly,
I noticed the humble hatching
Of the birds—
Life lustrously levitating
Out of a shattering shell
Of an emaciated egg.
How gentle squeaks
Filled the surroundings
Slowly and sincerely,
My heart hissing
Gratitude for great glory.
Now, they are a week old,
Surely, soon, they will fill
Their wings with their
First flight
From my backyard
Amply, they'll be gone long
And I'll still be a basic bard
While they'll be reaching
The racing clouds.
I know not the name,
I know not their kind,
I tried searching,
But I couldn't find
The name of the birds
That are taking shelter
And bedazzling
My rudimentary backyard.
How artistically
Nature wonderfully works—
Blooming and dying,
Escalations and sorrows,
Falling and flying,
Yesterdays and morrows.
Ever Upright, I Am The Sun So High
Ever-Blazing, Scintillating like when Stars Collide,
Ever-Soaring, Ever-Treading above the Great Gnar Of Light
Head High, I Heed storms with Flight,
Burning Ever-So Bright
ZIN URU, I'm Alive
Ascending Planes, I Reap the Solar Fire
and Breach the Unreachable, Blitzing Ever-Higher
where Light Shines The Way comes forth
Into the High Mind up the High Roads,
I Am The Sun Ever-Upright
Bedazzling the Ethers, I conquer the Veils Of Night

Your dewdrops are bedazzling on dunes,
Hides enticing sparks so haphazardly fumes.
Your eyes, akin to honey, exude an inner charm,
Love embraced your fragility with supple calm.
My love, time has tainted your obsession,
Captivating every pulse is magnetic affection.
Your aesthetic evokes divine Greek magic,
Dazzling draws blithely on peaks, ecstatic.
Enduring aromas soothe my random fondness,
Pushily puzzled by odd bond built by oddness.
Magic is real yet scary as seconds tick by.
Fear incites harm as sharp shards cry.
Prayers to all those trapped in this maze.
No one is or is meant to be scathe or graze.
Mist emitted by crashing waves may stay.
"It is only me," I whisper as tears of hope dry.
My pal Charlotta bejewels everything she touches and sees
She has done up sweatshirts, coats and pants to their knees
But bedazzling a pumpkin? That seems weird even to me.
I ran right over to see it though, for a peek was totally free.
She started out spray painting the pumpkin black.
Then she cared a spider; her mother gave her no black.
She bejeweled that spider in a glamourous way, not at all mean.
It was the most beautiful carved pumpkin I have ever seen.
shock
electric, astound
zapping, traumatizing, reacting
speechlessness, surprise, spellbound, thrill
bedazzling, gaping, impressing
majestic, awestruck,
awe

You got what you needed
even though
it was an Indian gift from the karmic sky-gypsies.
“It was never enough for you was it?”
The 'told you so’ pigmy bobble-heads of hippo-Maya
declared with a wink.
Let it be known
that the bedazzling chop suey
of Chinese phooey
will keep you spinning in circles
like a topless drunk.
Wealthy Cats stick it up your nose
and tread on your toes on the way out.
They call it charity, but they also flush 2 times
so the crap takes an extra lap.
The Dancing Masters of Wu
commend you for your patience
and forbearance,
but that is certainly not enough
or is it?
searing shining sun
bedazzling snowmelt season ~
a sight for sore eyes
(March Full Moon – Dakota, Lakota, Assiniboine)
How pretty is thy look!
Like a flowing brook
Elegantly expressive eyes
Like that of a twinkle from skies
Gyrating and gentle walk
Tangent and tinkling talk
Wherever thou travel and traverse
The air becomes a perfumed verse
What a bedazzling belle!
A divinely dashing damsel
A prolific and profound profile
With pulchritudinous smile..!
You are a gal of rarest graces
That no seraph can ever repel,
And albeit my ranks loftiest be,
Your glows highest angels fell.
Though past stars my domicile
Sits above ethereal sunlit patch,
Upon low Earth's mundane soil
Must this high-born ogler perch.
Thus do not feel too low I pray,
Since even celestial heros extol
Your flawless bedazzling sway;
And stars of heaven doting fall.
A sparkling beauty with graceful aura
A sizzling smile of Lord Minerva
An enormously gracious diva
An iconic figurine like flora
Fabulously carved in God’s leisure
What a perfect golden measure
A superfect model with quotient in teem
Glistening with her evergreen lumine
A combo of style and grace
A perfect feminine figure I trace
A cozy buxom belle beautiful
Heavenly bewitchingly delightful
A popsy damsel and doyen
Would like to have her in entwine
Winsome posture and wowsome appeal
An amiable gesture with wondrous zeal
Shimmering charm and charming shimmer
Glittering glimmer with gorgeous glare
Bedazzling beauty with enamour
Tempting seductress with glamour..!!
