en*L*I*G*H*T*ened babbling shocks
burst out of bubbling rocks
bright spots erupt over a smoldering landscape
(hot inflation begets Pomp & Circumlocution)
snowballs explode in a gritty paradise
yellow dust smothers moaning misfits
balloons hover over missing minds
(Look on the BRIGHT side!)
it’s simply a B*r*I*g*H*t uproar
skyscraping warriors lock & load
happily pull heat-seeking triggers
(taking out floating bull's-eyes)
Operation OMG has commenced!
guided by blowback from barreling behemoths
chasing mercurial probes flying with hypersonic ease
(gilded ghosts pierce an overheated stratosphere)

Ah, how temptation calls the heart to crack..
'Just a little. Just to let a little light out, to shine on him..'
'Hey, no harm done when the room is dim, and the air is thin..'
And the illusion of safety fills this vast space in between.
We're both in need of something..
'Let a little love pour. Just a little..'
But it's never 'just a little', is it?
The more light pours out, the more he pours in, and the blood in my heart begins to thicken.
And before I know it I'm stricken - love sick-ened..
He never asked for it.
Neither of us asked for it..
I only want to share a little love..
But oh how it just is never simple enough..
So I guess I'll do my best to keep it locked up.
Ahh, how temptation calls my heart to crack..

During 30 days of discipline (4 hour prayer in Johannesburg for all of August 2019), God's Holy Spirit led me to inspire "tired" prayer warriors:
"Good Morning! The reason it is GOOD morning, folks, is:
"Because God is GOOD to us, to Creation, we will have a good morning. If God is not good, you cannot hope for a good morning."
So, I may often say, "GOD MORNING," instead of good morning. In North America, I might be called "corny" for saying this ... but after you dwell on this "SPIRIT thought" - I could not really create it - you will be en-LIGHT-ened. PTL

MY IGNORANCE REFUSES ME TO ALLOW
SOUNDS AND WORDS TO BE SEEN AS SIMPLY SONGS
OR THE INSPIRATIONS TO A SONG
WE RATHER REGERST THEM TO TROUBLE THE PEOPLE
SPOKE THE WICKED PERSON.
THE REED SOMBRE WORST
THE BACKTIN SEEK CURE SUMB
SPEAK YE AS MINE
THAT YE SHALL AND MAKE WORDS FOR ME TO SPEAK
AND I SHALL SING THEM WITH
YOUR LOVER IN LIUE OF YOU
AND YOU SHALL HURT FROM HER LACK OF CONCERN.
DAMNEST ME MIGHT YOU WITH YOUR WOMAN.
SHE THAT WISHES ME .
TO SPITE YOU I SHALL BE HER LOVER
AND YOU SHALL CHORE AS HER KEEPER.
AND I SHALL STAND ABOVE YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP.
TO KISS YOU AS THE PERSON YOU ARE.
MAKE YOU MY ENED FOE. THAT I SHALL HAVE YOU TO
AS I HAVE HAD HER.
THAT YOUR COMPLICATED CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL
MAKE YOU WEAK, AND YOUR NEED FOR LOVE
SHALL HAVB YOU IN STRANGE PLACES.
TO BE GOSSIP FOR THOSE WHO THINK YOU BETTER.
SO THEY CAN SPEAK THE WORDS THAT THEY WISH
ABOUT YOU.

Tangled cocoon heavy within this shell
I can feel the falling whispers outside
it calls and I listen, perhaps too well
the door is opened I can not hide
And she pulls me out with Sirens song
the air heavy with her luring grace
I know my quiet wall will not last long
As she lays her lips up on my face
we embrace, she softly surrounds me
in her grasp I feel more alive than ever
The air gently sighs "I'll set you free"
I agree, though it wont last forever
Her touch begins to fade with the sun
and my moment in the rain is done

Calydorn.....part two
Of a rogue wizard who's lust for power ended when he tried to steal the Dragons
breath
The ensuing explosion ened all life and brought about Calydorns death.
How the portal that was hastily opened to save any creatures that could follow.
had an unexpected mutation quality. Now in his own pity he does wallow.
He marked his own fate that day when he stepped through the portal.
No longer an enchanted warrior long lived, he is now just a mere mortal.
The grumpy Gnomes now decorate yards and gardens with smiles frozen on their face.
Pixies are now Humming Birds who dart flower to flower with speed and grace.
Wizards who made it through now speak to spirits for T.V. show ratings.
Brownies now bake cookies, to be sold by little girls out side grocery stores waiting.
But the hardest thing there is that he has to tell,
Is the once regal Unicorn are now the seas Nar Whales.
yes, it's Calydorn he dreams each night drunk on bitter ale.....

Listen to the whispers,
Listen to the lies.
All about this little girl,
That always has tears in her eyes.
Listen to the giggles,
As the girl suddenly falls.
Listen to the things people say about her,
As she walks down the halls.
She has no friends,
No one to call.
No one to talk to,
No one at all.
When she gets home,
from school everyday.
She grabs a knife,
And cuts away.
She cuts her wrists,
Never too deep.
But just enough,
To make her weep and bleed.
But now she’s getting sick of it,
Sick of all her pain.
So she grabs out the knife and finally decides,
She’s going to end her life today.
So she finally goes for the final slit,
And then she says “this is it”.
She puts it on her wrist and pushes down,
And in an instant she falls to the ground.
So, now listen to the whispers,
Now listen to the lies.
About the little girl,
That because of them ened her own life.
