did you see it?
good luck to you
take a sound recording of the gurgling under the kitchen sink
if you play that backwards you will find
it is an interpretation of an inversion
play it back and forth
it's actually Beethoven's 5th.
like Smoke on the Water
in an encouraging interview, the guitar player
was both humble and forthcoming
my son in his music lessons
will listen to samples of classical music
selected by the teacher
i've encouraged him to ask as the piece ends
to raise his hand and say,
'now play that backwards.'
At last count Saturn had 293 moons
One is larger than Mercury, 128 solar system M & M's
But, if somehow we could mount his wings and fly there
We couldn't stand upon the surface and gaze at any
We would sink in the miasma of our own demise
Ingesting vapor rising up from far below
Choking off any aesthetics we might hold
For any goddess that we have imagined
Our ticket to this underworld held over
A head that's thinking we should capture Titan
Artemis, Diana, or Selene might pale before them
But wouldn't pale by what's reflected there
Artemis retaining her ire and her vengeance
Selene and Diana at the crossroads stand as well
Their color eclipsed the while they faded
And we, whose love it is to gaze up at their orbit
Would lose the inspiration of the ages
Aged without the grace of beauty's presence
That our small world o'er time has thus afforded
Size matters... but no more than our perspective
wind blowing
sun shining
phone charging
Ritual for prosperity
"Golden cord, bright and bold,
Turn my efforts into gold.
Tie the luck and lock it fast,
Make this newfound plenty last.
Negative tides must now recede,
Success is sown in every bead."
Best written and kept by thread
Black butterfly why are you so blue
Understandingly because no one’s like you
Tears that trail from face to tail to wing
Teal dreams that lift you as you silver sing
Ebony eyes that keep looking uniquely up
Red from cries of unreturned flower love
Floating like a star in a solar ballet
Lifting up hearts who watch and pray
You will persevere finding love one day
sunshine soothes the soul
with warming rays felt on bones...
solar powered heat
New plane called PLANET GHETTO
Scientist didn’t expect and know nothing about
Telescopes had no effect in sighting
Mars said, “Don’t look here”
The Milky Way responded, “Don’t even come our way”
The Moon stated, “Don’t even think about it”
What do these planets know about Planet Ghetto that we don’t
I certainly won’t perpetuate
A planet that became a create
Planet Ghetto appeared out of nowhere in space
Not much to say
Don’t bring any Earth waste
Being new to the Solar System
In fact, all the planets are protesting that they don’t share the solar system with anyone
NASA says beware with care, and they must study more for sure
Planets have made history with stories
There are still some mysteries
Planet Ghetto certainly is a surprise
No one had any idea nor realize
Unknown element in the principle
Planet Ghetto distance far
You won’t even find any car
Don’t expect to look like Earth
Planet Ghetto being a new birth
No comparison to Earth.
Solar Eclipse Brokenness
The moon covers the sun’s bright lights
And brings a total darkness in our sights
Fades out the figure of fake possessions
Cuts out the string of short time connections
It brings cold feeling and gloomy emotion
Suddenly makes a person stuck in motion
The beats of the heart skips for a while
Not longing for love, the heart is now fragile
As dark as the eclipse, the broken heart was
No rhythm is on point, the melody is bass
The flare circulates the tears of longing heart
The dim hue deleted the hurt of the start
Let it be, the hurt, and pain, feel and endure
Like moon covers the sun, safe and secure
Love as the eclipse, embracing the flaws
Love as you love, ready to break the laws
Research into the prospective matter
Could conclude the beginnings preclusive
end.
She then saw her wants and desires as need
The dophious status of who she sought
made me know that the complications was due
to her lack of reality.
She was bruised from the foolishness of ignorance
and refined in the need of belonging.
His dumbness proved that the historonics of coupling
had an inclusive touch .
Call the mean nun a worthless woman
Might she understand
Her current position
Smile the mean women of Dophious
Shall find him to be villain
The sisters of ignorance of ranxe have been parent
to recreate the horror in life
One has missed
It ain't safe that in ones repression
he or she is remised
the. Clauses and sciences
The formulas to be remenised
The dates and pistachios are
the inspirations of climatic
Episodes
Detailing the need of men
To procreate
moon-spirit mettles
sun and earth orientate ~
sun kissed and moonstruck
We fight stubborn ground,
Heavy panels, slow progress,
Clean power awaits.
Daylight
tickles leaves sparks
seeds buds unfurl ~
beauty undercover in Moon hegemony
In Plumes of Light, I Illumine Bright
In Solar Excellence, I AM Solar Thrice
In Solar Strides stirred by Passions like Fire
I AM Ever Golden, Ascending Ever Higher
Oh, blue, blue sky that used to be,
Before those grey lines bled,
Has evil now taken over the World,
Are all the good men dead?
During yoga lessons, learnt the 'Surya Namaskara' pose
'Surya' as in Sun and 'Namaskara' as in salutation
So I just said hello to the sun?
But the sun did not say anything back!
Well that's rude
Someone tell him that not everything revolves around him!
Oh wait...
