ANGIE, my devoted dark Love
really and truly I don’t want you
UNDER MY THUMB
it hurts us both as you
PAINT IT BLACK~ makes me wanna hack
freedom’s our choice, our soul’s ardent desire
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
we have to escape this mad matrix mire
TUMBLIN DICE ~a dangerous dire vice
let’s gallop to the Camargue without any masks
like WILD HORSES white with gypsy flasks or
fly to Mars if we choose, to booze alongside
HONKY TONK WOMEN, then snugly snooze
each a beautiful hue, feeding our Heart’s muse
on RUBY TUESDAY, we can gaily frolic in hay
THE ROLLING STONES,WE AIN’T NO CLAY !

on smooth hot rock I sat in REVERIE
after a HALLUCINATION drink of
mushroom, poppies and truffle
IMAGINATION soared like bald eagle
on high, throwing twin twigs with sigh
up I flew landing on a rainbow in
lucid DREAM ~
saw tinker bell fairies in pastel lace
with mauve daisy hats to face
sucking honeyed cream in wild glee
cherubs singing WHIMSY chorals
skipped to amethyst abode awaiting
dragonflies lighted a willow way
as swans mated on water lily ponds
of petals, elves smiling at bay
secretly inside a Crystal Palace
of chanting High Priestesses pure
sat Lord of VISUALISATION and awe
with blue-green eyes and beard of
silver hay, not all could hither this way
he fed me manna and mango ambrosia
gifted a garland of lotus snow white
a sapphire pen dripping indigo ink
to serpentine scribe enchanting song
on a rainbow in rubied blink !

1st two verses by Mystic Rose Rose ]
(3rd Placing in Contest)
As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew
anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue
flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on true
Two papyrus thin wings of buttercup yellow
she flutters in and out of my garden Heart
it is freedom she brings, cares not for bellow
I crave to join her, finish my art, baking tarts
Her proboscis deliciously delicately long
into a lonely red rose she inserts it so precise
inspiring me to dance to a super Spring song
her wings like my breath dissipates every vice
Oh Butterfly ! Take me with on your fanciful flight
daisy fields, mountain streams to desired Eden
let’s go where no cares air, just serene sights
fairies composing tunes for whispering women !

peace is the fruit of winter
that solitude cloaked in white
that silence hushed by the wind
the temperature that dips down low
the calm that isolates the heart
and gives it space for convalescing

Tribute to a Sponsor
As sponsor in contest
We try to do our best.
We do get stressed
But we have a quest,
So, I’m getting off my chest
I know you’re pressed,
But we are blessed
You’re giving us a test.
You did your best
And we had a blast
So, I suggest
Do not worry you’re not in house arrest.

Oh fantasy land,
fairy joy, hand in hand,
Sunflower, bathing in sun,
Delighting Clara,
Who'd tell mama,
Would you like to join us in the fun.
Chase dragonflies, play
With fantasy all day,
Of this always have plenty,
Sit with my fairy,
On leaves hairy
That tickle, fairies lure me gently.

Waves crash against the ribcage of shore
Where unburied bones play on the beach
The dead swim in shallow pools beneath
Lost Souls never finding their exit door
The living are not welcome to come here
Sometimes they are seen staring from afar
Too many have tried then have disappeared
And death is always what the living fears
From the cliff above the bones are seen
Dancing in the sand, splashing in the sea
Is it a dream or nightmare in unreality
Unexplainable to the living, what does it mean
It means that so much we humans don't know
And even less in which what to believe
Belief is only a product given forcibly
Forced to reap what someone else really sow's
This place of bones called Skeleton Bay
An unexplainable retreat for the dead
A phenomenon unstudied this haunted beach
A place where only the dead meet and play

In A World Where I Do Not Exist Poetry Contest
This is a place where I live;
In force a residing space;
I am redundant yet,
In a world where I do not exist;
No one sees inter grace;
But I, yet I am instilled;
I am billed
This is a place where I live;
In said force a residing space;
I am redundant yet,
In a world where I do not exist
Won’t be judged by the color of my skin;
Won’t be set apart from other national beings;
I- we be noticed spot on focus;
Included not excluded
Be all that I am, that-that I am of God almighty;
In a world where I do not exit;
I’ll be qualified, and not rejected
For this terrain, place this plain;
This ain’t my home I am a spaced being;
In a world where I do not exist
I am of Jehovah-Jireh

Spontaneity is fun makes me drool
I hate poetry contest with red rules
It’s a kind of game I play alone
I write for fun and soup is home
The contest titles can be inspiring
But the rules are too teal taxing
So here’s to you soupers who can comply
Good luck in contest good luck in life

let’s go Legos blocks
building yellow, green, red beck
love birds parakeets

built lovingly by
children of little tiny
hands snapping gathered
~
blocks of colored formed
plastic little molded bricks
fashioning contrived
~
erected birds made skill
fashioned from stacking snap blocks
multicolored bricks

Darn, fleeting her soul life, sitting away.
Rests snug against the wall twixt cabinet.
6 pots on the window sill, stalks daylight cross.
The horizon two windows still six pots.
Views of the apartment across the street.
Minded I am nothing life’s so discreet.
Alone-quiet-gray blue antique surround.
Instilled Look N down as I AM knitting.
Solitude and darning in mine silence.
Just an alone, age lady, sitting in.
My mind solitude knitting in silence
As her blessed quiet time, so in her.
Her subdued time her mind she's so alone.
Yet getting into the conversation

PRESERVE RELUSH- Choose Wisely your What Guards
Your Heart for We are Products of our Environment
The rain mine tears, earthen grounds lusted flesh
I am that I am a light
I am that I am in His sight
Created soul I so shine ever bright
Terrain grounds fervent rains swollen trees
Non disant I am that I am
Heavenly being shining bright- I am light
Darkness please there be nothing in creation
Stand though I am in the atmosphere environment
Nothing on this Earth or universe
Nothing shall in me be dispersed
For God in you, with you, you're the wise shielding part
That guards my heart
As I am a product of our environment
I Choose Wisely what God's my heart
