"Barefeet"
Let sleeping cats lie
velvet dreams licking
skeleton keys
passed on kisses
passed on fire tongues
sketchy
scratchy
curled around
warm blanketed whispers
laughter tickled
by whiskers
tales twisted
paws softly scratching
skin forgotten,
dormant
covered safely
under blanket
out of life
out of tune
in over-heated
lonely poet-hung rooms
barefeet in benediction
crouched naked waiting
ready
in position
on knees
elbows follow, genuflection
cats, black hearts
all feral
stalking futures passive
inside pheromones all growling
aggressive wants
demanding latent love
A Prayer
for the wild at heart
dancing naked
seeking some kind of love
souls on
hot tin roofs
very forward
purring darkly
come
(Ladylabyrinth / 2020)
"PARIS"
Her perfume follows him
from room to room
Lily-of-the-Valley-Roses
lingers in the corners
of his mind, the hollow of
his neck
a soft kiss some hot moment back
in time, a vintage tune
Breeze blows her curtains
wide open
her streets of soft pink velvet
pulsating
Cherry Blossom,
her Empress Trees
all her rapturous city's noises
sway in time to
all his heart’s
crying voices
Her Church steeple,
his place of worship
god’s altar
drink her wine
his hair ruffled
genuflection,
Choir of Angels sweet cry.
Spring rain softly caressing
his Winter window panes
stained glass
Cognac Kisses, sweet
nude vertigo
luscious dream,
wanton blisses,
his last golden
Libertango
(Lovejoy-Burton/2018 Jan)

Benevolent Altruistic Intentions
Benefactors of benevolence breaching the veils of kindness
Abstractions of reverence reaching out beyond the spiritual blindness
Retractors of inference screeching shouts about the mindlessness
Transactors of temperance teaching about the silence
Omnipresent supernatural beings beyond comprehension
Fluorescent lighting and scenes that defy logical convention
Incandescent dreams that inspire surrealist intervention
Convalescent screams reaching out for a new medical invention
Altruistic inclinations from the over proceeded few
Alchemistic infiltrations that convert the antiquated to the brand new
Dualistic invocations that double the meaning of a small few
Narcissistic invitations that seclude the virtue from the slew
Algorithmic combinations that segregate and manufacture
Journalistic imitations that propagate too much conjecture
Synergistic configurations that ameliorate scientific fractures
Shamanistic invocations that conjure up dream like enrapture
Abrasive reprehension that formulates a tear in my eye
Persuasive notes of tension that gather around one about to die
Invasive comprehension as complexities begin to rise
Persuasive genuflection that initiates the urge to cry
The End Copyright Elizabeth Moroz 2025
The road ahead,
opens up before me,
suddenly, wide and wondrous and untraveled;
The trees rise high, stretching, inching higher,
touching the sky and unseen horizon.
It is a blend of indescribable color,
flowing profusely in the path along the way.
The air is thick with the incense of fall,
dry leaves and burning, outdoor fires
hanging in the air.
The scent is of a changing season,
a bow, respect, a genuflection
in awe of God's superior gifts.
The roads less traveled awaits,
setting in place a path,
an unplanned journey to newness.
Breathe in the color hues of reds, oranges, yellows,
brushed and painted lovingly
with all the signs of autumn.
The scent of change,
take the ride
set by the hands of God.
A sagacious luster looms
upon lavender lyrics oracular,
spectacular in simple suffer
for atop the electric spire
Her violet fire will conspire
to revive love
that Time consumes...
A purpose placed gently,
in the center of your wisest pulse,
like a gemstone of graceful genuflection
palpitates for poetry
not of threadbare words
but of song soothing
into the theater of your purple glow heartbeats...
They said you were broken
because the hues of your eyes
could not be predicted,
they claimed you fragile
for feeling the fright of love lost
in withering worlds,
they believed you were damaged
by your own defense
against the touch of duplicitous ice,
but you were never defeated
by the dark drama,
you've always been
the wise wound warm...
Cheek bones speckled
with a sapphire tablature of taboo ache
turned to love blush beauty,
your body moves to song
that pitches prettily
in the poetry of blossomed joy...
You already know how
my heart wakes to your wishes,
you already hold the poetry of my soul,
You already know
what love told loneliness
a long time ago,
You already hold the joy
that we craft from iron gold...
Love waits not for Death,
nor for ideal birth,
the moment love awakes
it creates spirit that subdues all fates,
love is changing you into something unpredictable,
independent of imagination,
real as riptides in the center of a rose
sweating from anticipation
of warm lips
on petals of tender adoration...
When you left,
it felt like theft of breath,
I wondered with a wincing,
if the answer for your enigmatic evanescence
was in regret, revulsion, or a revolution of love,
I wept hard,
I made grace from the grief,
I loved you for the price...
J.A.B.
Taught when young, eyes raised skyward, to speak
on my knees, to the ether, Sundays every week.
Thanks for the gift of life and length of days,
lined up along the pew the family prays.
Sunday school and learn the book by rote,
'ask and you'll receive' the promise quotes.
The years went by, still praying for some answers,
clutching at manger straw for any chances
that Divine Grace would save my Dad and Mum and brother,
invoking Mary, Queen of Heaven, perfect Mother.
But.......
Silence from the one we're told will save.
Three names etched out in gold, all on one grave.
No more.....
One last goodbye, one final genuflection.
I'll bend a knee no more to this deception.
Hush the choir now, close your pearly gates,
I'll walk alone now, master of my fate.
The Citadel of me, strong, solid walls
but inside, darkness- nothing there at all
except an icy longing, tinged with pain.
Pews creak, and I'm kneeling down again.
Can't tell you why I'm here, no reason why
but once again the newborn Saviour cries.

She is a Battle Babe
make you mouth her as a FAV. ,
all her work an automatic save, a rage'n rave,
getcha cravin the ultimate poetic shave
makin demons a quick grave and enticin angels to misbehave,
She's a Battle Babe, no chance her style fades, she got genius in spades,
covert clout leavin you shamed with sheer doubt, livin to learn her upshot ways,
offend ya with a biting wit, pen ya witha whip whetted on the blood of your best days,
love ya like a lionized legionare, waste ya like a puny prisoner pinned against her spiked legs,
wicked wrath and affectionate genuflection the perfection of the Battle Babe's barbarous pathways,
the Patron Poetess of the Lady Ink Crew not fearin you, not hatin you,
she's just beatin every ounce of you
You say she's crazy, lazy and hastey
some sort of Prima Donna in distress lost in lunacy pastey,
but this is simply a rumor reflected from your own filthy and phony majesty,
she prepares for battle settled and seasoned
like a lioness in love with the last hour of hunger
quiet and confident, instincts infallible in Society's saddistic scramble,
pupils green aglow, piercing the pale lies of this business' infatuation with profit's ramble,
the salt of twilight stings her senses, your stunted reaction she will savor
thoughts of your company falling from her K-9's kill of what was once friendship once reasoned,
she will annihilate facts in the false traffic of your tabulated fantasy,
she will destroy you for assuming truth in sunshine made from touted travesty -
J.A.B.
"Ten Floor Love Story"
Blue Sky
breezes through
the windows
clouds carry
the never-ending
piercing
genuflection
Cry
Scavenger Seagulls
form a halo
angels barricade
the honour guard
circling round
the Sister for stoning
holding hands
with the Resurrection
Man

“Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The Messiah is my sister
Ain't no king, man, she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The Messiah is my sister
Ain't no king, man, she's my queen…”

I'll find a soul I can trust
I'm coming home"

"Stone Throwers, Love's Release"
Cages
come in all shapes
and sizes
all different ages
the ones
who circle their
little locked rooms
counting time
in calm rages
steel bars
dissolving lives
scream please
release
pray for their
safety daily
for daughters
mothers
fathers
sons
Some never find
peace, freedom.
Love and kindness
somehow if
it remains and
Forgiveness
are the Key.
Hand them your
Love always -
no matter how hard -
Love's Release
