     enchanted kingdom beckons

Amusement Park 

It's a merry-go-round world
with it's big brass rings
She's a roller coaster romance
as she dips so she sings.

It's the haunted house
and the tunnel of love
the depths of the valley's
and the Heavens above

It's three for a nickel
five for a dime
it's a game of illusion
forget those...

I’m  wondering - how much is enough?
given fact:  this line is but a throng.
One who does not shield his hacking cough
is brushing up against my sarong.

I’m wondering - how much is enough?
One who's followed at my heels so strong
ignoring what really ticks me...

the trees gnarled and twisted having looked after themselves for years.

Timeless, at once, a memory of long ago
Born from Heaven, to Earth, a new life to grow 
First from clay, then ocean spray
And wrapped in God’s own DNA

Miracle of life, perfect pure so innocent and new
Divine dominion, planet Earth, in shades of
Reds, greens but mostly...

I paid a million dollars for entrance into this amusement park and I thought “hey 
this better be worth it”.
A million kisses
A million hugs
A million intense conversations about life and love
The first rides were amazing…I had gotten my money’s worth.
I never wanted to leave
I was...

Time spent wonderment 
Ferociously amusing 
Absorbed all day into surroundings 
Screaming gayly 
Roller coaster up and down 
Up and down
Spider ride round and  round 
Round and  round 
COTTON CANDY HEART ATTACKS...

Suffering of Yemen children
Raping pleasures in the Congo
Syrian war of super powers games
Iranian games with nukes...

Urchin on a cedar swing,
summer mist inhaler,
noonday shriek and frolic,
mother blowing fragrant blossoms
at her golden offspring.
Lavenders amid  the shrouded reverie
pave a mystic wonderland aglow...

Where one goes to change one’s dull face,
Catching up try in the fun’s race:
Of sad worries leave no big trace;
See how he might quicken heart’s pace…

High Blood Pressure some kind of shark -
We all need an Amusement Park:
The best: a non-stop until dark
When ears start...

The rusted Ferris wheel, a skeletal hand,
Points to a sky it can no longer command.
Once, laughter echoed, joy on the breeze,
Now silence reigns, whispered by the trees.

The carousel horses, their paint chipped and worn,
Dream of merry-go-rounds, of days yet unborn.
Once, children squealed, clinging to their...

A forsaken theme park, once a magic place
It’s hay day in the sixties, quaint and pretty 
To go there now you won’t find a friendly face
Strange outcasts on the outskirts of the city
Rumor's fly with grave warnings of fallen grace
Chase you with a smile, sinister...

All actors trailed by actresses
Know the best way to the tunnels
Is to already be within the
Big Ring that secures this
Magic KINGDOMCUM.
It's not about looking
Through the window and
Getting past the DACS, 
Or going back to where 
I want to end up.
On the grand tour
I could get...

Zippily, zippity, I slip down
the slippery dip slide.
Zippity-doo-dah, slippily-dippity-do!
Suddenly and nippily, tipping 
backwards to quicken the pace.
Snappily, I whippingly 
swish right off the end of the slide.
I launch into space,
Fly high in the air, arms wildly flaying
like a rocket man on steroids, screaming.
I land with...

I Remember 

I remember a time
When all was so bright
With bustling crowds 
And neon lit nights

Covered wagon caterpillars 
And bunnies of blue
Teacups that spun
You sat in them too

I remember the days
When scooters could fly
Pinball was king
And everything thrived

I remember the smells
Of hot dogs & beer
I...
