Fair-minded whale playground, compass dismisses
Ceylon sapphire zero horizon echo orchestral chamber
Forge rolling bow voyages of uncharted distance
Cut water instant recovery, oily onyx giants' undulations
Gleefully refuse gravity's hard ground insistence
Halloween door creak elaborate speak, torso of paisley
Gyrations ridicule keel knife edge flow resistance
Harried sails flap before collapse with human impatience
Dugongs admonish monolithic ships gritty missions
Adventure crave creatures flank vessels for playful races
Delight in the chase, never capture small victims
Allure fluid, serene serenades resonate clarinet cadence

I'm not a Monarchist but I don't hate
The Queen. I lied to her when I was nine
At Finningley it was. We had to wait
For ages for her standing in a line
She asked me if we had a special day
Off school to come and see her and I said
We did. We didn't. She went on her way
And no-one came to say 'Off with her head'
She's just a person. I thought she was small
And looked a bit like Mum, except the nose
She didn't make a mark on me at all
Until today. It's funny how it goes
I saw her on the telly cross the road
In Enniskillen and the tears flowed

I am thrilled for you
Really and truly I am
Loyal servant am I
And a fair-weather fan
I love that you wear
Your heart on your sleeve
When it comes to the sharing
Of what you believe
And although I may never
Stumble across
You out shopping, at a bus stop,
Or out dancing to Bros
I will really be sad
At the end of your reign
For I know this will never
Happen again.
You have led and encouraged
Set the tone for this place
Made your mark, you could say
More than sharing your face
On the money we spend
And the letters we write
You have been a consistent,
Glimmering light.
I hear that you laugh
Far much more than we see;
That you're joyful and cheeky
When you are able to be.
And my favourite moment,
As I'll tell you in heaven,
Was when you teamed up
with 007
I will ask of your thrones:
"Have you ever sat in 'em?"
Regardless, I'll say:
"You're still worthy of Platinum"
So a heartfelt congrats,
In a simple refrain..
All the best to you Ma'am
On your 70-year reign.

i chase her home
she connects the dots
i taste all of her flavors
the feeling is a golden dime
her dome is the epitome of class and grace
i cannot believe that there is consideration in her heart for me
once upon a time i was not even a speck in her vision
now i dominate the epicenter of her spotlight
i hold her tight
she again figures me out
i satisfy all of her favors
the feeling is a platinum dollar made of diamonds

Sitting in the darkness
We stare at the technique harlot screen
Where a see-through celluloid sex symbol
Stands, hands thrust crotchward,
The air tearing at her pleats.
She is spread wide upon the silver screen
Her flesh still there
Her breasts still inviting
The lie sensuous dream.
Shattered as the credits fall.
No curtain call
Yet still she will be back for more.

Watching the ships come into the bay
Workers about, gathered on the quay
Alone, I contemplate this here quandary
Was taught never to air your dirty laundry
You must present yourself with poise
Hiding the inner turmoil and noise
The cross I bear, my eternal penance
Always front and center. Always in attendance
It's presence has became familiar and quaint
Comfortable. I admit, I've never been a saint
I'm hard to rattle. I rarely let slip a quiver
But to my surprise, there it was, a shiver
With the ocean breeze wafting like perfume
I'm taken back. Smells of peonies in bloom
Visions of you swarm my brain. So handsome
Glance at the ring you gave. Forever. Platinum
You are what's at risk. These demons I must lose
I've really got to start minding my P's and Q's

powerful piece de resistance
precise, provocative, posturing
providing plebian pleasure
Statuesque as an Amazon woman,
Platinum or pewter? She perseveres
Prodigious? Preternatural and pivotal
Regal, brilliant, a spiritualistic luster
She sparkles with pure effervescence,
glistens with a gloriousness unknown by most
I follow her pooling petticoat into the
outer limits of my poetic imagination,
expecting nothing less than perfection.

So tell me was your soul weaved from platinum gold, liquified hot, bold mold when cold.
Tell me was your soul seamed with blindfold string, piece by piece so effortlessly, spiritually free
Oh baby please tell me was your soul dipped in gleam, a bright white light beam, directly into your bloodstream
Don’t you see your soul fascinates me,
So old, uncontrolled water mold, where’s the threshold, how do I unfold all that you behold
So my soul is so full of grieve, qunderachieved, with a heart on my sleeve
What do you see when you perceive me spiritually?
My soul so bold, not dipped in gold but aged mold, so old, covered in coal, a dust bowl, Aurora circle
Maybe you can see my soul isn’t half as glistening clean, but still it’s a pretty mean warrior machine, buffering to sheen as I speak... could you trust me
Soulful, is so full, every inch of mineral, drenched gold, covered in steel wool, it’s beautiful, are we compatible, maybe my love is magical, or unfathomable, let’s not make this tragical, to be honest I’m a bit radical, maybe a bit unpractical,
But tell me was your soul weaved with platinum gold, liquified hot, bold mold when cold?

When the earth was formed, molten iron sank to its center to make the core.
A cataclysmic meteorite showers that hit Earth after the core formed; they say Earth’s gold and platinum arrived in a meteor showers that lasted 200 million years.
Priced elements rare and highly valued soft golden yellow, silverfish-white most sought after metals in the world.
As the years passed the metals have gradually worn away broken into pieces by wind, water, or other force of nature.
Elements that are heavy in weight, moved through the millennial of years, found concentrated and trapped between rocks, streams, rivers, and ocean beds.
It has been coveted, stolen and buried, and people have died for gold.
Christopher Columbus sailed to America looking for gold.
Mined or dredged as dust or nuggets that can be melted down, shaped and sculpted into any form imaginable.
I like to wear my raw gold nugget around my neck on a gold chain.

Platinum dawn
The ambiance I feel
You coming on
There you are.
I'm never wrong
Fingernails scratching me
Awake from a daydream
As platinum dawn slyly slides
Across the rosy sky
I'm lost by and by
I'm grabbing air
Thinking of your hair,
Soft and long
We grow reckless now
And younger by the hour
Skipping puddles and dodging
Thunder showers
A platinum dawn celebrated
By us two scuffed heals we
Danced Teflon strong
I'm angry at memories
What should have been
But DREAMS SUPREME.
Sleeping in the day
I stirred awake it's night
Spare me please, baby
It's causing some headaches
And continuous complicated
Conclusions I can't.... I can
Barely function enough assumption
Silky at the moon, but it's almost
Fabled fabric's favorite festive afternoon
Hours coming on
In spite of all your perfections
A perfect fairytale CONNECTION
BEST DRESSED DIRECTION
You are the one for years I've
Known wasn't it written in stone?
The DARKNESS has no spite tonight
As it fades to dawn
Every star shines with attitude
We find flamboyant gratitude
One last time I groan.
Are you coming...with me home?

Platinum Icons
Their tale to tell is much the same
with looks that helped their claim to fame
Blonde and curvy, they got the jobs
In films and shows they flaunted their gobs
Deep, husky voices from too many fags
Scantily clothed in all the top mags
Make-up and peroxide over abundant
They could never ever be redundant
Marriage was multiple, two a penny
Own homes in Cannes, not Abergavenny
No doubt they had their special talents
In ads and the like for painted talons
B B, M M, and Zsa Zsa Gabor
Iconic beauties that most men adore
And models for women to emulate
enhancing their chance of getting a date
B B now old, the others since gone
Etched lines in face and gray, not blonde
Her love of animals has earned her repute
Her racist views we might well dispute
These women famed for enviable looks
Are immortalized in stacks of books
Although their films are somewhat dated
They’re still viewed and still well rated.

You are the rarest and the heaviest
Of all our precious metals here on Earth…
Your sisters, Gold and Silver, are stockpiled...
But you are not...in case supply runs low.
To generate one ounce of you we need
Ten tons of ore and five months’ processing.
Outstanding jewelers, like Cartier,
Famed Faberge, plus Tiffany, create
Their jewelry designs in Platinum.
They turned you into lavish settings that
Secure some famous diamonds like the Hope,
Jonker and Koh-I-Noor. Your surface can
Be scratched, but unlike sisters Silver and
Pure Gold, there is no Platinum that’s lost.
You are the rarest and most valued one...
Each year we mine one hundred thirty tons,
To Gold’s one thousand seven hundred plus.
Our Platinum…rare metal of our Earth.

Treasured class, like prized
possession, sparkling sight
like midday sunlight hitting
against pure crystal, you've
light the night of my midnight
and recharge the battery
hooked up to my heart's life.
My magnificent magnifying
glass has explore and found
you the flawlessness of all
I need, like the destiny in a
dream, your my platinum
jewel, a queen. A royal jewel
you are to me, the definition
of my destiny.
