Everything in this magical Kingdom had a spark of...

That I could wake up to find

And it was still the wonderful 1980s
When I was still young carefree and...

I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore 
And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air 
I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care, 
Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere.

Sleep eludes me
Women, kids, money, dreams, problems
Cycle in and out
Numb to the present
I can't do anything about
Run from here to there
Every place becomes intolerable
Where will I rest my head
When there's no there there
And I'm stuck
Well...

I would hold my long pointy fingers in front of me as I sprang from door to door,
My pointy boots deftly propelling me from...

Let's get this out front 
I think I'm in love
With an angel who flies 
In the sky high above

My protector, she guides
Or calls down when required
When the future gets tangled
Or perception gets mired

In the thicket...

SWEET SPIKEY

A snowy spike of fine feathers,
Rested atop his diminutive crown.
Striking onyx eyes nestled in golden cheeks,
Great thieves are these of frowns.

An engaging and colorful character whose
Amusing antics entertain from sun to set.
An ample possession...

Elaborate me through your fields 
Thorny planks of melting teals 
Grey as a thunder under blue 
Dry me upon the full moons 
Quench me at the brink fulls 
Then cast me down again 
Crawly I...

          rolling in before dawn
while we splattered mind-nets

Daddy brought it home to mother
She did not like it at all, in fact it made her angry
Those innocent tough spikey, sword-shaped leaves
Centered with white rosettes in tight buds caused anger

Today when I see those...

Sharp, spikey, shark.
Teeth, a line of keys
Opening up your chest of purity.
 
The eyes: soulless,
Following every curve,
Tainting the nail that drips from my fingertips.
 
Their fins
Caressing your sweet cheeks,
removing the sugar.
 
They splash
Sea salt in...

Dry river mystery

The river in the domestic landscape was not as big 
as it used to be, for years, the rain upland fell sparsely 
when the hot summer came, the river dried up.
The river bed...

the silver birch
it likes to hide
so as you search 
at eventide
you find it there with many friends
playing poker through the night

the common oak 
a wise old man
an aging folk 
since time began
grandfathers of the forest...

Winter P’s and Q’s 

Poised in the alluring perfume
Of dawn’s first light,
Robed in views of new unbroken snows,
Like winter’s penance of poise,
Palms of Spanish Dagger with steel blue spikes 
Send up quick questions in quaint...

That time when Jesus walked among men
has long passed, only faint images remain;
and the curious crowds followed Him everywhere:
they heard a wisdom from the mouth of dare!

Herod was a savage: the king of Jerusalem;
too jealous...

I  love the singinng silence as I muse
Listening to this silence  brings delight
Deep within  the silence are the cues

Everything from classic to the blues

A brand new documentary
A first for archeology
The Western Wailing Woolysaur
He’d never spotted one before 
Neither had he seen one dead
It’s very spikey and it’s red
The spikes it has are everywhere
Some poke through its wooly hair
It’s...
