fairies protect the flowers.
Scarlet inks a setting sun

Flying leaves hanging on the treesShe sits green on a shy branch, pretty
Soft red bill, her only vanity.
He comes same, red rump, blue sapphire throat

Coming Down to Earth GroundedI see a clearing
It's big enough to land in
The grass is short
No rocks or bumps
It's all clear for landing
My heart beats in panic
Tears of sweat run down my face
Fear grips my body
In expectant embrace
The engine...

FlightlesslyThere are birds that leave the nest too soon
You are like that
All fumbling feathers and heartbreak with sternum kissing ground

Airport cherubsCold blue tile is the foundation from which two children build their world.

Dragonfly Sour at Angel FlowerHey Alice! Have you,
been smoking the grub's brew?
Think you are a butterfly,

Not here, not today#Not_here_not_today
catching loose knees, wonder if I would run here,
how far would I even reach, when I'm just a boy in
man's body. This threatens my present and could
foresee damages bearing fruits in my tomorrow,

Up, Up and Away
Up, up and away
In ballon full of hot air
Hanging from a hair
Up, up and away
No steering and no braking
Bravery faking
Up, up and away
Under ballon swinging high
Storm clouds coming nigh
Up, up and away
Fearsome lightning bolts flash...

To his own birth country where we were always meant to meet.

Adrenaline JunketThe vague and the abstract turned into a contract,
adrenaline junkies, now joined in a dare.
With hands up, no screaming, they’d both go careening,

Flying On My Broom
Fly-ing on my broom
Plans are made...yearly on zoom.
Tonights the night of fear and fun
The...nights only just begun.
I'll screech and laugh, and scare you
I'll curse you with, potions bad brew.
I stir my cauldron well
And fill with...
