We've had; the Stone Age, Bronze Age,
Iron Age, Ice Age, Industrial Age too,
a thought about what man hath wrought
and the not-too distant future view.
It's now the AI Age we're living in,
yet, wouldn't take much persuasion,
or a second guess, to believe it's somewhat akin
to nothing more or less than an Alien Invasion.
I drink the bright sky,
I climbed the road of colors,
I entered through the roof of the empty house of
wind,
I then entered at the feet of a rock,
I pass by the feet of the glittering
and ancient sea.
From a ruptured voive

crushed words come out
squeezed
flattened
desyroyed by heavy depression
broken
fall apartito tiny pieces of dust
severely twisted
violently
like smashed glass
broke down
into fragmenred face
with thin linrs

TAN BRONZE GOLDEN LADY
Her vision tan and golden
My heart souls beats so
Copper golden skin her breath,
as lavender kiss
Daughter of Father
Elohim who’s…
Sons ordains coverings
Of precious daughters He Father ordains
My heart souls beats so
Beautiful is the copper golden woman;
Whose brown, tan golden
Beautiful tan bronze golden lady

BRONZE SCULPTURE
tactile
with style
Once a bronze blossom shone so sophisticatedly.
Flourishing in an oasis of tropical butterflies.
Its aura would emanate from enigmatic auroras.
Its roots nourished from the scents of petrichor.
Admirers would gather to gaze at such grandeur,
oblivious of poppies among common roses,
so the jealous sun in its narcissistic loneliness,
blazed with hell like rays, creating a drought.
In the inhuman illusion of synthetic flowers,
its petals withered like rustic wicker wreaths.
I stood helpless, as the wind left it exposed,
as lifeless buds began swirling in the air.
Only evergreen textures remain timeless.
An empty garden has no worth to birds or bees.
In the silence between seasons, so much is lost,
yet unique anomalies always leave memories behind.
Oh how I adore thine bronze gaze,
As thy stare places me in a phase.
Oh how do I love thou,
Allow me to count the ways,
Let me bask in your bronze gaze,
As you teach me how now.
Oh how do I love thou,
Allow me to exchange a gaze,
Let yourself kiss me in all the ways,
As you flail against me now.
Oh how do I love thou,
Allow me to embrace your ways,
Let me stare into your bronze gaze
As you lift me up now.
Oh how do I love thou,
Allow me to in return flirtingly gaze
Into your eyes as you flirt in all the ways,
As you brush up against me now.
flowers all gone now
grasses dried out color brown
seasons autumn fall
cool cold brisk blank air
below fifty degrees so
season change winter
after autumn falls
everything’s not dead just brown
dormant is the grounds

BROWNED BEAUTIFUL BRONZE BROWN NATURAL WOMAN-
Soften tone medi
-um brown ever so her eyes
Smiled all natural
Skin fresh breast symmetric like-
-N grapefruits moisten lips speaks
~
Softly tender breathe
Arms like rubber bands chisel
Stealth ears sweet legs as
Turkey drumsticks firm moving
Melatonin golden brown

Ekphrasis
Coconuts falling large and whole
On my way to gather like gold
Calling my name as I love them so
Only to tame adult drink so cold
Needing the hull to make a bra
Understanding I am a bronze star
Tropical queen who sings in bar
Sing with me, have fun dear heart.
With eyelids painted twilight blue,
I gaze into eyes of my same hue.
Oh! beautiful bronze
Brown skinned woman
You need no man's validation
Yours already pure untainted
You're God's Holy daughter
... and He God loves you

expression
From Heaven's height there was lucent light
Spectacular skies in a sanguine sunrise
Where peace prevails and men set sails
Upon swirling seas with a balmy breeze
Dawn displays these dappled days
With a florid flush of soft bronze blush
A splendid scene, stunningly serene
