On the back of her pony
the universe lay
comets and starbursts above
periwinkles below spreading love
O, princely pinto
you're all I need
Gallop the galaxy ~

What a brutal sun that assaults the cliffs
Where cacti and mescals dare to abide!
Here and there, dozens of petroglyphs
Decorating the canyon may be espied.
In large nesting circles neatly drawn
In evaporating wisps and bold squares
In a sun to give thanks for every dawn
In little starbursts and stick figures
In a deer, in an eagle looking strong
In a war scene kept by the ancients –
It remains unsaid – time is not long
But to a murky end, everything drifts.

If I called your name
(Our hearts beat in time)
By Michelle Morris
24/08/2023
If I called your name
Into the big, wild Universe
Would you hear it, darling?
Would you hear my voice?
Our connection is timeless
Our souls are infinite and divine
I love you and you love me
Our hearts beat in time
Despite the miles and timezones
Despite everything under and over
Bridges and storms
And sorrows
We will share our moments
We will survive and thrive
Into the future but enjoying
Our now... our present... our gift...
If I called your name
Standing on mountaintops
Or under the ocean's depths
Communicating beyond space
Would you feel it, honey?
Would you know it, angel?
For we are one heart
Beating over timezones
We are one soul
Sharing this one lifeline
Across lifetimes
Until we become starbursts
Our connection is timeless
Our souls are infinite and divine
I love you and you love me
Our hearts beat in time

CHARM OF NATURE
With airbrush Sun rays colour sky to glow.
Spangles of stars adorn charcoal night sky.
Dusts of starbursts sprinkled in cosmic flow.
Silhouettes on Milky Way freely fly.
Air, Water, Land make splendid ambient.
Rigid matter: Flourished flora - creatures.
Evolution : Life never salient.
Nurture majestic Nature for future.

Indigo coldness
obscures starlight
twinkles are lost
hidden from the sight
porch lights distant
shining bright
flickering starbursts
descending from the sky
crystals fragile
in frigid air
blankets the walkways
cold and bare
bundled deeply
seeking warmth
visions of summer
flow in my mind
half heard rumbles
steel scrapes
scattering crystals
hard and dry
rivers flow
through the night
herding the storm
to far away
radiant beams
warmth away
as glittering starlight
now appears
shines forth sunlight
new dawning day
as endless rainbows
spring into the view
enthalpy clings
to sparkling light
ascending the hill
of energy gain
crystals do slowly
with changing state
droplets become
and flow away
breeze slowly warming
attacking the chill
bright blinding sunlight
stealing away sight

The shadow sulked in a puddle of drool,
Dribbling, it bawled out its eyes on a stool,
Hot chocolate with tears,
Starbursts and gummy bears,
It’s hard to devour sweets when you’re a ghoul.

A random thought, strange lines are drawn
Starbursts exploding in the brain
Parallel pathways amp the gain
From small to shrimp, from shrimp to prawns
Tangentially, another dawns
Möbius-like, it loops again,
a random thought.
Eternal Now, it is explained,
sees ere I was till long past gone.
Now that’s a thought to linger on…
So did I now just entertain
a random thought?

Claytonia
How God ignited the living continuum
No mind can fathom; neither therefrom,
How we sparked to flame.
Yet, some Sparks must beget Starbursts
Not Stars; Ephemerals, in their fleeting bursts,
Are needed not less than Oaks.
I kneel in prayer to lift up her small light
Against the dark, not to morn what might,
But illuminate the birthright of the briefest life.

ASTRAL ENTERPRISE
Though hidden in sunlit ambient,
Firmament carrying astral enterprise
Visible in starry night sky.
Spectacular surprise flashing
visage of starbursts or shooting stars
displayed on canvas of sky.
Floating clouds dampen blowing breeze.
Silhouettes in Milky Way in ebon blemish
traverse mystic but not pernicious
Maroon Moon stays as descent sentry
Whether Crescent, Half, Gibbous or Full
even being invisible.

O'Bright Star, Thy Bright Gleamings True Hearts See
O'Bright star! will thy gleam this sad heart sate
with splendor of glow, quench our dying thirsts
Thy exquisite beauty, mankind debates
as well, bold shining depths of thy starbursts.
Why gift that grin, that Chesire cat-eye glow.
As riddle we are never meant to know?
O'Bright star! will thy eternal gaze blink
a galactic voice thy wisdom impart
Are thy infinite gleamings - wine to drink,
as a soothing balm to heal broken hearts,
Shall ever thy distant voice our souls hear
or will we destroy earth with hate and fear?
May we in our pitifully sad state.
Reach, touch thy heart's glow, to truly relate?

Walking in Stardust
Hot August nights – the heat stands still
Sandy beaches wait - tide pools fill
For starfish. -
Watch the rose fire flame in midnight -
Time carries darkness to the light
In starbursts.
Looking up into darkened skies –
Wishing stars – constellations rise –
Bright starlight.
Rippled sands meet a sly rogue wave -
Steals kisses from the shore – the knave
Stargazes.
Summer phosphorus floats on tides
Sparkling footprint on sand abides -
Like stardust.

When I gaze into this realm, I see more than the dazzling array
of golden starbursts floating in a cosmic sea of blue-green-gray,
photoreceptors painting post-Impressionistic explosions of colors,
fibers and dilator muscles servicing your ocular aperture.
I see distinctive melanin patterns of a truly original individual -
a retinal scan of exceptional singularity,
each nebula unique, every supernova peculiar,
no quasar like any other.
I passionately absorb with one brief glance
an infinity of nuance,
an eternity of historical archives,
a heaven and earth of emotional journeys.
I am reading your autobiography, the encyclopedia of you.
I remain a student of your sclera,
a pupil of your pupils,
a Vincent of your irises,
going half-mad with the dizzying vastness
of the starry night within your eyes.

The promises of blue in the skies;
The burnt resin in your eyes;
Like emeralds shining;
So inviting;
In awe I will try;
To witness the creation vibes;
Caressing night;
Gauthered monolights;
Starbursts in the skies;
Mesmerized Breathe Taking Heaven views--=
