Morganite, Jasper
Floor Voiced of many waters
Drinks of my Creature
Seers eyes roll over
Stigma of the Messenger
The Tree of Knowledge
Apple of my eye
Medusa's organa seed
My Jealousic Stone
The Palmer Worm feeds
Honey in mouth, sour stomach
Scroll is unveiling
Wisdom in connect
Strings of raw experience
Our discovering
Dew of Collective
Words on lips under cover
Supple Oasis
Sins hide quietly
Lions roaming to devour
Souls in Final Hour
Shaking Globe Hourglass
Signs, Flux relativity
Reveals Pearly Teeth
Sigh of Elements
Message in delivery
Krakens in release
My Equalizer
Binary Twin, incoming
The Throne has spoken
In sunny days of joy we climbed aboard,
Wide eyed, Wellingtons and Duffels.
Sat on salty varnished benches,
handed weighted feathers and orange string.
Kraken was the one to know,
Six fish on a line would show you so.
We honed our skills in Girl Pats arms,
Whilst humble feasts defined us.
Okanagan knew the score!
With turbo knives and plunging boom,
we danced with butterflies and doom.
In summers ever after.
Under Krakens watchful eye
We kissed and tryst and laughed and lost,
Daring feats with exploration,
the ties we bound would save us.
Kraken whisked us in a party
Juggling fiery wit, and poison.
I pranced and posed and shivered fools,
Okanagan then was dead.
Days defined by those that tread upon them,
this day was one of those.
Mourning, heavy, thick and slow.
Crowds, a blurring backdrop.
Of course Kraken came to sooth us,
we floated in her arms.
With petals and dust, my heroes troubled soul alighted,
Returning to the sea.
A smile, a knowing nudge and nod, it brightened.
There’s much more than this, you’ll see.
Mommy my dearest,
Walking on the plank,
Sharks circle nearest,
Pirates shout their chants.
Watched by the eldest,
Eyes drawing blank.
Cries from the youngest,
As she hits the bank.
Laughters fill the deck,
But not from the pirates,
Confusion hit the pack,
A shift in the climax.
Crews became silent,
Skies Turn to darkness,
A deadly sign sent,
Appearance Sea goddess.
Knees hit the floor,
Proud men into cowards,
Now to even the score,
See the Sea dogs cowed.
Mommy brought her pets,
Krakens and the killer whales,
Got their briggas wet,
Frighten whore males.
Our colour changed,
Beige to deep blue,
Cause great derange,
Retribution is upon you.
