Wishing for...

For Josh Q On His Bar Mitzvah1.

a severe nasal twang)

Nobody knew just how old she might be

Numbers In My LifeThe number seven carries me away
Where imagination and numerology have a stay.
Dreams live celebrating each new day
Free from realities and evil’s prey.
Seven years of praying brought marriage my way.
But that was only one life’s foreplay.

Shaking ShadowsShadows detach at dusk, and like bats
roost together in sinister rookeries at night,
wrapped in black mantles
hanging upside down, gossiping.
Peter Pan lost his shadow,
"do you know where they put my shadow?" he cried.
He found it in...

The Four Brothers of EquusGallops in the shadows,
feared by mortals:
bearing on their collars
the stewards of blitz.
Like thunder from beneath,
their presence, sensed:
beware, I daresay
before facing the eve.
The White Brother comes
with the archer, crowned:
the arrows have dogma,
unfortunately, malign.
Claiming the head
although contrived,

Child of the Darkest DayMy day was fine
Walked in the sunshine
This day was one of a kind
'Til you crossed my mind
And made it rain.
The dark rain splattered
The people scattered
My defenses shattered
Nothing else mattered
When I though of you.
How could you...

Their lives had a closed curtain, leading to the greatest of all mysteries:
The universe itself.
No one really saw it, and even if they did,
No one had courage to explore that sealed...
