Spontaneously taking me to a land of opportunity. 
A wonderous realm of possibilities awaits me.

Immersing me in showers of splendor and ecstasy.
 I foresee a future so bright its illumination blinds me.

Spectacles of magnificence waft by my eye to my heart.
Let this awe-inspiring significance prepare...

If We Were Both In Paris
If we were both in Paris
We on different time zones
Always coming and goin
I’m on this lonely balcony
Cigar smoke blowin
I’m as lonely as Gatsby
Cloaked in white with blue 
All the way down to my sox
Looking at the time on the clock
It’s awful lonely when does your...

Dark Promises
Eyes dark and lifeless, suck all colour from your soul
Drawing you in like a spider down a hole
All thoughts have turned to blind, raw fear 
You're powerless, paralysed, white noise fills your ears
Can't talk, can't scream, can't run, can't breathe
Butterflies drop like sycamore seeds
Flowers wilt,...

The Sap
on the reference of a 
friend who used to be
close, s/he asks the cartomancer 
to come to the house---
as this is not a privilege
often granted to those whose cards
are to be read (so the “reader”
claims), extra funds are required
to lure her in & 
the sap...

You mean so much to me
But at times I do not say it
Nor even treat you that way
So may this poem
Express to you my love, devotion, and appreciation
You are the star on top of my Christmas tree
The fire that warms me on a cold winter...

Premium Member Anti-Expectations
Break out the champagne 
Roll out the red carpet 
This is going to be glorious 
Soon to be hearing trumpets

Excitement eagerly building 
Anticipation anxiously awaits 
Soon the suspense will be put to rest
Hoping hopefulness translates 

Forecasting future happiness 
Projection primed for perfection 
Not allowing for...

To Be Given the Honour
The meeting of the minds
It conquered the world
The entanglement of the souls
It emphasised the word
The endurance of the pain
It lead to freedom
Roll out that red carpet

Put a lid on, on top of it
Indulge what is coming
Embracing the ride
Fulfilment is the key
Enrichment gives respect
Pop the bubbly
Royalty...
