I want the biggest geode coffee table I can get he told the geologist.
Better backtrack I said to my cousin, knowing who he was speaking with.
It is going to be pricey, the geologist warned him, and it will weigh tons.
Not a problem, my cousin told him.
I was shocked, as he lives in a home that does not look too sturdy.
They had to take the roof off of his home.
A gorgeous geode coffee table was dropped into place.
Disappearing into the bowels of the hardwood floors a second later.
They had broken into bits.
The coffee table was now a bunch of little geodes lying in his basement.
My cousin wanted a refund, but he had not read the fine print.
So here we are now, trying to sell these gems for a couple of dollars each
And my cousin is out thousands of dollars
Because he would not listen to me.
Universes dwell in
geodes... and geodes dwell in
their own worlds as well
Cracking open geodes
-- of insanity
a shimmering humanity...
Shining fractals of ones soul.
Opened and vulnerable
like a new seed.
Scintillating stars
gleam from within
with new needs sprouting
from each new seed.
Morning ignites a murder of white crows.
roosting in the loft of spruce, maple and oak.
Preening moon and star from death's fertile dream.
Ribbons of sunlight wrapped tight, ancient scrolls.
Window ajar, enter angels donning broaches of mint.
Crows perched lightly upon honey kissed bed posts.
In each platinum beak, they carry one corner of my ghost,
lifted toward an ember of pulsating eternity,
garnished with pearly crown and secondhand wings.
Outside, the crows lined up along golden cobbled clouds.
Motionless, like a rosary of gleaming white stones.
Whispering, whirling secrets of galaxies and geodes.
Drifting about, chrysalis brained, rose petal hearted.
Leaving behind glittering pools of scented hieroglyphs
Orange robes enchanting the horizon with lavender mist.
Butterflies released from blue granite chrysalis.
Riding a stream of cherry sun beams and glitter.
The echoes of a rainbow are a grand place to live.

HIKING IN THE UNIVERSE
We hiked to Geo-City, deep in the forest....
And found treasures of sparkling geodes,
Appearing like magic! ....then, climbing, brought
Them to their rightful place in the universe,
At the foot of the mammoth Eagles Nest...
Where the Eagle sleeps,
where I dream......
Artistic ovation so eloquently delivered
Scantly clad ambers of happiness
Explosion of animosity
Despair spoils the spectacular decadence
Brazen Amethysts delight
But darkened geodes decays my lullaby
And Leaves a angry corpse
The ghost of yesterday is the entity of tomorrow
It follows behind me and masquerades as my friend
But the foe seeps out and reveals himself
Deadly clout, I am powerless.
