within spiraled arms
   a wisp of life is hidden…
       cradled by a star

Do as I do...
Who never knew
My wings that flew
Spiraled to you.

Sunlight the day...
With winter's ray
Frostbite thy lips 
Til deaths decay.

Throwing bouncy ball 
It zigzagged...it spiraled mad 
Who KNOWS where it goes

Hopping to and fro
it's quite a funny
Scene to watch that ball o o o...

I once had a dream of a girl that sang pop
She was only 16 dressed like a slut, so we called her prosti-tot
She went crazy and spiraled down,
Did a music video with a depressing clown
And as for the singer, Thank God!  her career finally stopped...

Dream job, race cars
Friends forever, engaging brothers
I predict, an amazing fix
an unfortunate circumstance
racing cars one hit the wall
while the other spiraled through the stands

I wake up one March morning to a world of wintry white
As winters tight grip and springs promise behold my site.
Green buds poking through white on flora that will be
purple, red and white to present a sweet aromatic smell 
like the snowflakes that spiraled in rhythm to nature’s chiming bell....

Hurricanes twirl like a kaleidoscope,
chaotic fragments crash in pewter sky,
perpetual unstable isotopes

create apocalypse on land once dry.
Cacophony of wind does shear the hope
to quell hysteria in waters high.

The spiraled carnage in the wind does fly
outside the hollow of an evil eye....

Spiraled fingerprints
spinning placidly forward
fingers round and round 
moving inward and outward
backward like a beet bulb 
from the earth and falling
in circles furrowing
arced lines and curved strength
of muscle memory holding
me mindful of long time you 
then and now pressing further
through freckles and primordial fuzz...

he skimmed this gelid air
on a gossamer breath
ascending then descending 
adrift like my wishes

perhaps he was lost
like i in my unspoken thoughts
just wanting to be anywhere
other than where he should be

i closed my eyes
imagining
soaring
on his wings
aloft on dreams
as i spiraled
into the arms
of your love
momentarily

Empty shells I find on the beach
     can be looked at in two ways.
 In one aspect, they are seeds of death -
    the only tangible remains of once-living creatures
        now planted randomly in the sand,
but also it can be said that
     rootless - they still blossom beneath the sun
with their beautiful spiraled patterns
         as flowers from the sea....

But with her love, the flame is wrath-furnaced, 
dissolves like ice cubes in blazing sunlight. 
Then classic symphonies are syncronized
as a phoenix sets its last spiraled flight 
that corkscrews the singing stars...mezermised 
when bluebirds are reborn with flames in sight

I always knew You would catch up with me in the end
no matter how fast I was running, how far down I stumbled
or how deep the vortex, I spiraled down in
You were right there on my tail
looking over my shoulder
there was never a hurdle, I couldn't jump
never a ladder I couldn't climb
never a strait, that I couldn't swim
a thought, a feeling, each blessing coming my way
without You...

A slippery sloppery slipping snail
Slithered slimed and slid on the floor
Feeling hurried harried hungry and helpless
As starlings screeched spiraled and saw
That slippery sloppery slipping snail
Who slithered slimed and slid on the floor
A fluttering of feathers fell frighteningly fast
Meant that slippery sloppery slipping snail
Who slithered slimed and slid was no more.

Twisted dreams invade the mind
 With the perpetual dance of restless sleep
 In hollow dreamscapes I wander blind
 Chaotic eclipses with darkness to keep

 Spiraled staircase descending deep
 As visions of apocalypse slowly seep
 Masses in hysteria, looking for signs
 Through prophetic kaleidoscope their world is defined
 A cacophony of voices hitch a ride
 On a speeding asteroid as worlds collide...

Did grace our nose
Spread our joy of laughter
As we played together
Neighbors did wonder
As they never seen snow like this gather
We had friendly snowball fights
Well into the night
Lights shined red and green
For our little eyes had seen
As Daddy plowed the snow
We followed him row by row
Special moments of Honor
Blessed by our Holy Father
As the snowflakes then spiraled
We witnessed God miracle...

touch me sky... as you touched him
 spiraled cathedrals of twirling color
eyes dare not see.... in voices
the deaf drag in silence... screeming
there pears in the mud.

Van Gough heard them cry...
his sacred fingers to feel the knife
that slung his spirit to those stars
and(............. i,   * ** *
 can only hope to      look...
following in a painting      bright.
                               less...

To lie in all my golden glory,
My former branch left bare;
I remember my crisp and fresh green unfolding
Into delighting you, serving you,
With my shade and perfume.
And through the black green year of blue shadow,
And devotion when you loved my doing as you bid.
Before heartlessly you let go and I spiraled 
Drifting, drifting, landing and now
I lie here in all my golden glory,

Longing for those useful days....

sea flowers
blossoming on beaches
gathered for use as decorations

sea creatures
rising up from oceans
drift on tides. . . dying on coastal land

seeds of death
are empty shells on sand. . . 
but how lovely their spiraled patterns

sea flowers
beautiful rootless blooms
remain so. . .  not wilting in the sun

Unwanted 'ugly-duckling', pushed from nest early
Spiraled down to unspeakable depths, crushed
Astonished by unexpected love and care, grew wings
Awkwardly flapped to outlandish heights
Tragedies hit, like plate glass window mid-flight
Expectations shattered, painful shards embedded
Weight of life's strain, lost dreams, broke wings
Fell back to earth, grounded, exhausted
Scarred but somewhat stronger, re-learning to fly...

Two black holes spiraled,
their dance
sent ripples 
through the universe –
racing at speed of light
waves
warp spacetime.

A billion years later,
on a small planet, 
laser beams zoom between mirrors,
capture the echo.
Einstein’s heirs 
decode
the message.

Ignite the fuel tipped silken cord
Nightly wound loosely and limp
Spiraled and braided around my desire
Pressed into wet wax and unkempt
I'll know you before you break open your pen
Remember you as you burn up
Exhausted and wired, you'll feel uninspired but levity won't let you stop

My thoughts have been set quick afire, you've spun me a home molten glass
Entranced and elated, my yearning abated, I sigh knowing this too shall pass......

A MUDDLED UP WORLD

Oh what a chaotic world we live in
Full of hysteria for all to see
With news of perpetual unhappiness within
Have we come to such a cacophony of undesire
That we spiraled down to such a degree
To that hollow feeling of despair 
With the apocalypse about to descended 
What happened to the kaleidoscope of love 
That all should hold with a velvet glove
Now compare and repair we must 
To stop the world going bust

The storm spiraled closer.
Hysteria blooms.
Water, wind, waves, when, where 
the news  -
a kaleidoscope
of uncertainties,
driving 
chaotic migrations.

Perched at ocean’s edge,
in perpetual peril,
we are awaiting
the cacophony
of destruction.
In the face of the apocalypse,
promises
ring hollow.

There is magic found in a unicorn
for when each beautiful one is born
its family celebrates with happy cheers
and suddenly a spiraled horn appears.

It's a gift from God that allows it to fly
higher than the clouds in the sky.
Unicorns have no need of feathery wings
They do all kinds of enchanted things.

Let's search the forest and sail the sea.
Come and explore the world with me.
If you had magic, what would you do?
Would you become a white unicorn, too?...
