Some exude charisma
others, miasma
Public figures don
cloaks of phantasma

Recycled poetry,
we’ve used all these spells before;
Abracadabra,
a whisper to make that cauldron simmer…
Calling corners?
familiar synonyms since the new are..
feckless;
We must honor the magick.
Memorable alliteration;
Innate skills aren’t teachable;
Feybound;
Like you? It simply belongs to the stars…
Remembered ritual,
a taste of what dances upon your tongue;
Phantasma,
you have always had the touch…
It’s not reused, it’s ancient,
it’s as spectral as abracadabra…

half awake, half asleep,
light and shade,
night and day,
life on a spinning ball,
black and white
shadow play!
flip the dates on calendar,
watch the seasons go by!
cheer birth, mourn death,
old and new, wet and dry!
on the wings, deep in sand,
haughty arrogant, coy and shy!
joy and tears, love and hate,
good moments, awful fate!
waves and tides, calm and serene,
nature’s fury or eternal bliss,
truth and lies of spoken word,
all the roles that we all play,
but a sage mind can discern,
not to be carried away,
they in fact are same,
but for a deluded mind..
it only seems that way!

Likes to Dali herself up whilst reading,
assumes abstract designs will enhance
the benignly inartistic life story she's writ,
can scarcely sit through her own tediously
scripted fecklessly poetical verses moreover
embittered embellishments 'tween the blank
spaces of her once upon a failed phantasma
