channeling
my thoughts
towards
earth star chakra
I stand
rooted
feeling safe
it is fall
my thoughts
linger around
sadness
like Monarch
butterflies
clustering on
mulberry trees
preparing
for migration
a thought
here and there
pass
I mind my
breath
trance-like
peace envelopes
metamorphosis
thoughts
return, I
see again, my
mind sashays
down glittered
cluttered runway
as always
cycle begins

Rainbow moonstone celestial
adularescence, transforming milky way white,
pale azure luster to an electric sapphire
Luminescence consistent beauty
Never ending, blending its cadence
with the colors of the rainbow
Sprinkling the Universe ~
Stripping its steely metallic moon
Sacred stones spilled upon earth
Timeless and mysterious moonstone
Adorning her ring finger flaunting, adoring
An ascendant jewel coiled demurely
around the nape of her neck,
formerly worn by the moon goddess’s
perfuming melodies and ballads
Now ethereal beauty's, both are fetching
An antique amulet she keeps in her grip
A clustering carcanet seen by a few
A rivière resting atop her breasts
A priceless periapt symphony she gives into~
its melody, surrendering to palliating powers
Queen of her own throne rich in clairvoyance
Graceful, feminine and demure

A shy sun
plays peek-a-boo
with clouds
clogging the sky;
and barring its path.
Dyed in shades
of grey;
they gather
like sheep,
clustering
overhead;
grazing on blue skies.
And soon, melancholy
tears,
morph into raindrops.

A
dying
scarlet sun,
bleeds upon pink
cotton candy clouds
clustering at Earth's edge,
as though tethered to the night.
Twilight starts unveiling the stars
now twinkling-like faceted diamonds
and moonbeams gild indigo waters gold.
Muting all but one lonely cricket's chirp,
silence imbues each shifting shadow
with a growing feeling of dread.
And a dark curtain descends
until silhouettes merge
and ebony starts
slowly filling
in every
single
gap.

This is a sacred and vibrant site of people clustering.
Inferable from the amazement and awe, it is invigorating.
Is this asylum of genuine warmth and enthusiasm inciting?
There is a sturdy feeling of community at the PS meeting.
As though we were biologically related were keening.
As it were, blood has defined us all, allowing for sharing.
Notwithstanding kinfolk in the profound wing calling.
They merely say we're the best people, all overexciting.
We barely support each other when life rattles us, curving.
And when hardship looms ahead, same as desert heating.
A refreshing summer downpour, that's what we are being.

Invocation, may thy spirit shine for me
Like a clustering of stars across the sky
Or the effervescent glitter of a deep blue sea
With a solitary sail passing by
Invocation, may thy knowledge cover me
Like the dawn of recognition in my soul
When a better explanation is the perfect harmony
Of the promise and the purpose when I'm full
Invocation, may thy peace be as a river
In the long and winding journey to below
Where the kindness of the river is a truly perfect giver
In the mercy of the moisture in the flow.

Army of Ebony and rustic insects
Nourishing and devouring working constantly building ratting
Traveling marching to and throw
Slowly moving clustering and always working

A muslim spotted with intoxicating wine
A Muslim was spotted with intoxicating wine.
Now, his fantastic job is hanging on the line!
His crashing heart more to the left incline:
A disturbing wish to have this settled with paid fine,
A devout Muslim with a Family of Nine!
Round his poor neck all clustering to dine…
Visibly, a drowning man permitted only salty brine,
For having himself submitted to Ethanol’s Twine,
Forgetful of Devious Devil and the evils he’d design
Over this to pine
And the reality that his job is now mine
And wherever he should, my lucky Christian name sign!

All Seven stars on rise
A small dipper be filled
Are my seven daughters
As shinning on the moon
All clustering in one
A Drip on mans eye
A sight only at night

An
azure
blue sky is
painted pink by
cotton candy clouds
clustering near its edge
as though tethered to the sun
while darkness unveils timid stars
that twinkle like trillions of diamonds
and moonbeams gild waters with liquid gold.

cursed wraps wielding
callous contractions clustering
saucy smokes smoldering
taunted anger tuning
rustic route rustling
felon feelings fostering
unbridled opening undoing
pulsing passage renting
vying passion puking
punctured veins shrinking
like nature's thrill
when tattered's fiery
callous system's chaos
blackout, ballistic war.

consciously calling Christmas
dangling days damped;
a punctured peacock
two tulips torn
three mists moaning
four figs fracases
five oaks fostering
six seals scrunching
seven clouds clustering
eight horizons hankering
nine nymphs nosing
ten tales twisting
eleven visions vying
twelve thrones tumbling.

laced lips lurching
ember eerie embroidery
dripping damped nectar
clustering salient coda
sigh scrunching seduction
callous confetti's contraction
hoisted hips hankering
saucy shriek scoring
sumptuous attention seizing
lanky limbs trace
mystic melody's grace
like lusty race
gaze sparks spewing
Elizabeth, fiery filly.

silly sequoia slumbering
meager mists mooing
callous clouds clustering
voluptuous vibes vying
tempted twigs twiddling
salient sleep swilling
spooky silver silhouette
pulling pulpy pests
contracting cautious crrsts
lousy clouds lurching
gaunt glottis grooving
gigantesque syllables dripping
mystic mountain moaning;
sleep's spell swigging.
