Short Turret Poems

turquoise sky
castle Britannica
rowing club in gentle waters
arrival of swans
I head to the turret
binoculars on a ledge
I see red tulips
loving the turquoise sky...

Silent bliss hum resounds within
We alone know by touch
Heart soul centre; we go therein
Thanking God very much

It’s an open secret
No one else may ferret
Save those at heart’s turret

Be to become
Silent bliss hum

No point to prove, we walk alone
With angel wings we fly
We cannot share, the bliss we own
Till ego we decry

It’s an open secret
That no one can ferret
Save love at heart’s turret 

In joy we groove
No point to prove

She was lying on the Ethel’s turret with a sting in the tail
            Felt a squirt on her face and barrette; is it the end of the tale?
                    Water water everywhere water, not a drop to drink
                  Ho ho the machine does totter, not a moment of wink
 She yanked her pants up ,tail between legs, and crossed the sea without sail...

human turret son
gun syndrome
genome thunder dome

range lightning rain
night sky of 40 grain
splendid caliber

X caliber

plink to think
dinky clinks
tiny echoes

bricks, all clear

fire flies
barrels of varying sizes
armorer princess prizes

she goes all .223/5.56
flash suppressed
range without a roof

took her rounds
now she frowns
tell her later

give them back
after dinner...

Twirling her fairy skirt,
   a lace and pearl dessert.

His eyes hypnotized by
   the lace and pearl overt.

Bells on her fingertips,
   this lace and pearl concert.

She gives her all to him
   in lace and pearl exert.

Her father hides her in
   the lace and pearl turret.

But marriage promise
   gifts lace and pearl convert.

Twinkling eyes of the groom
   splays lace and pearl dessert.

On a mountain called home 
A mountain gave its' ground 
The Shadowfire 
That lies in its' heart 
In you... 
in me 

The colour known only to you 
The colour reflected within its' walls 
Through vaulted ceilings 
Bastions of stone 
Flying buttress 
Turret and spire 
This the castle known as... 
Shadowfire 

To look upon the sky 
See the silouette 
Tall spire 
Rising from a mountain 
An eagle to fly 
A castle high 
Shadowfire...
