Phantasmagorically dreaming late

An angel holding thy cup

Beaming forth was wisdom...

Hickory dickory,
Beauteous Rosamond,
Sleeping so silently
One hundred years…

Come your awakening,
Phantasmagorical,
When a Prince Charming can
Conquer your fears.

Phantasmagorical
forest
and I am lost
in a fog of pink
and orange 
devouring 
blue screams
and wanting
white-tailed 
zenomorphs 
leading blackboard 
hearts beating 
in my brain
a sound like quiet....

An aesthetic bottle garden
is a living, phantasmagorical jewel.
A treasured, ostentatious gem,
intricately designed,
artistically arranged and sustained behind a shield of glass.
Encapsulated perfection,
a splendiferous garden of paradise
juxtaposed with a sullied polluted Earth....

Bright orange tangerines
Taste so sweet
Our lives play out
in an instant
a brief tune 
Played on the cosmic piano
shadows creep up later on
Bright orange tangerines
Taste so sweet
You'll know the answer
when the clock strikes twelve
Midnight will bring
Phantasmagorical dreams
Bright orange tangerines
taste so sweet...

He’d a fetish feline without doubt
so did Tom, his sick mania flout
make phantasmagorical
a new categorical
and then Andrew did let the cat out.

Twas a bargain at just half the price
Nunn and Weber made Memory nice
blending words of a poet
with some music to show it
to find lightning can sometimes strike twice.

The manifestation of God's word,
The Big Bang created the universe,
a phantasmagorical coalescence of sparks.

Billions of galaxies swirl in the fabric of time and space
like filigree clusters set with pulsars and quasars, 
their massive black holes generating cosmic rays.

Harbingers of life and death, stars define infinity; 
as dark matter anchors gravity's web of threads
blurring boundaries of science and creation,
afloat in an unfathomable sea of ebony....

I was trapped
and bemused
feeling sad
and confused
a subatomic particle
lost into a deep black hole
and suddenly
you stuck in your magic telescope
and I opened up
like a flower
I shot out like a periscope
a mystical kaleidoscope
like a solar flare 
without a care
my heart exploded into a supernova
and then, 
I woke up in your constellation
a phantasmagorical revelation
so ecstatic
and divine
orgasmic 
and sublime
I'm staying here forever, 
until the end of time....
