Premium Member One More Rosey Trip
I'm off on the beaten path
with Little Rosey in my grasp

There's palm fronds like a giant clock,
twenty hands instead of two
And there's the honeysuckle bush
that suddenly broke through
the gap in my neighbor's greenhouse

"Bonnie!" she insists
"Bonnie...

There is something amiss with that VACUUM CLEANER.

It's ailing from something peculiar, but I don't know exactly what.   ...

It is a longterm scientific revolution:

THAT, despite visual perceptions
to the contrary,
Earth revolves around our light

And not the other way,
Sun daily rounding Earth,
abounds all our sensory assumptions
to this EarthBound space in UniversalTime.

Like the endless intensities of rainbow hues, that cancel any need for others.

Before the Gates of Alahsar - Version - 2 - 17
Out of the golden gates,
there rode mounted knights of the king's guard,
To the left flank and the right flank they formed ranks,
the infantry as the centre,
The infantry still forming, shining no more were they,
midnight sun...

Before the Gates of Alahsar -Version - 2 - 18

forward came these hordes of night,
across the...

Animus
A hiding place, a warm and darkened room,
A lit doorway, bright against the dark,
Cold against the warmth, a frame for odd
Assorted stranger-forms whose faces loom

As quarrels over (what?) convulse and rend them,
Leering laughter giving in...

a white rose,
upon your grave,
and tears,
seep onto,
the ground,

at first sight,
as my heart,
skipped a beat,
as my eyes,
glance into,
the mystery,
of the pair,
of eyes,
that met mine,
that...

Stone of St Croix Island
Carefree in leisure time, one blasé tourist, 
almost happy, I once had collected a complicated stone;
after the sunny hours had ended and last opportunity
for keepsakes began.

In my hand the stone had kept all of its...

To See Marlena, Part I

of a battered and trail-worn saddle,
been on the run for several hours now
after being caught rustling cattle.

from where a large bullet had struck,
he heard...
