Tangerine topics turn up in magnificent minds of Manganese
Enhancing the mind of she who is the most easily at ease
Imagining new possibilities is something that we promptly seize
Enjoyable to watch her think in the citrus tropic windy breeze.
I’m an amethyst being,
blood of deep purple;
soulful specter
in lavender hues
that wend and wind
their way towards sun
in protective humility.
Darker powers that be
doth run from me;
sink back into the black
and nightmares flee.
I am holy blood,
one of God’s own;
child of light
spiritually honed.
The violet fires
within me burn;
sacred flames cast
in structures firm.
As crystal visions
enlighten the fold,
I cast my blessings
of indigo wisdom.
A fiery quartz am I
cleansing the spirit;
my manganese blood;
electric purple
I uplift.
Come consume
and drink the grape,
for I am crystal
agape.
With skip, screech and flourish
The belfry-housed bats
Flew wildly and garish
Far madder than rats.
Greasepaint teardrops a-flying
In twilight's ascension,
Heart breaking and dying,
Robbed blind of attention.
Coins spun in chance
Flay the crazy, cracked actor,
Maniacal trance
This duality factor.
Submerged below laughter
And painted-on grin
Lies a strip mine hereafter
Of heartache chagrin.
And the payload thus hollowed,
Black manganese ore,
Bullet-bitten and swallowed
And fired at the floor.
These eyes so forlorn
Freezing cackles with doubt,
For no light is in-drawn
And no light is shone out.
