Was it tuna?The world in black and blue,
no visible outline, the colors
blur. Headlights bright red,
and the people covered
in smoke as I stand in the back-
alley surrounded by old graffiti
stains and a half eaten tuna fish
sandwich. The alley cats
devour the carcass leaving
the bones and eyes behind.
I look at the eyes and I see

Evermore
While wending my way one sunny day
in no particular direction
on stopping for reflection
I took a look at flowers by the rustic fence
beside a gnarled old tree
and was amused to see
beautiful colours and textures
which it seemed to me could only be
a painting picturesque
packed with pinks and reds yellows too
while beyond there lay
a field of green beneath...

Here for the MomentJanice Avery loved deep green nature; like cherry sunset owls, gawping.
She dwelt with her parents and Sissy, when old, golden days were walking.
They lived out in the hilly country, where orangeish stars could be seen;
And summer seemed to last forever, for days held a predominate sheen.
Noons were filled with happiness laughter, that foreshadowed pink moon.
Life...

Peed in a bottle, tagged it orange juice
His mom drank it all down

Dewfresh MornDamp sound of squelching grass
beneath my feet
ushers bright dew soaked morn
on wild green plot
of tangled twigs, stalks, leafs
where young lambs bleat
and blather without rein
in frisky trot!...

Sunshine Invasionred heart of morning
guilty shadows fled like dreams
scattering moonbeams
Blue jay on green rose
caressed by gold creeping heat
petals and concrete
saffron veiled dancers
of every scent and color
city sun culture
pearly paths faded
plum day's grown a bit older
sunshine's grown bolder

in the gentle mist
a bouquet of white blossoms
touched by a tinge of pink
blushing at the thought
of your smile in the distance

After The SpellI focus on the image
of a stunning woman’s pose
against a hue-tinged skyline
canvas so mesmerising
in its otherworldly scope
that dream mirror brochure lure
dashed by thunderstorms and rain...

BLUEOut of all the colors of the rainbow I choose blue
True roses are red but I don't think violets are blue
It's a dominate color and one that's quite known
I tend to like blue in any shade, material or tone
You have to be honest blue makes things look nice
Have you saw diamonds that looked like blue...

meet me on high in limpid luminescent sky
from whence you’ll catch my twigs perhaps
there I cloudless am guided to harlequin horizons
precision wings gliding pearly path to clarity’s

our mahogany missions in photons seared
at azure axis of Giza activate starseeds dear

THAT GIRL IN PINKThat girl in pink glows
She's so romantic
She's very realistic
She never forgets her history
That's why she's so stylish
Her lineage will never perish
Because she's always staying to her roots.
She belongs to no group
She doesn't want
Anyone to use her as tool
She hate fools
She loves swimming pools
She's my crush
She said let's...

You can't run from accountabilityWe know your game
And we are not going to become slaves to it
We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web
Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you
The heavens will rain down on you
There is no escape from eternity
Hear these words said
Let them infest your head
Your silence will betray you...
