To Dis a Ray
Tim felt prismatic and took off his polychrome Ray Bans
He had to revisit his novella and needed undistorted vision
To sort out gems from false gold and writer’s confusion
Had he really been so blinded with bands full of colour
Why were so few synonyms for variegations of rainbows
Was he too cheerful or flippant as an unredeemable scribe
The paper oozed with pots of gold and layers of colour
Chakras went up and down spines of meditation and joy
Jesters wore crowns and purple attire to rise from below
Clouds were made for the twilight of tranquil surrender
As he had to write all Peace in pastels on the fabric of hope
Was he really a utopian fantasist who shines through my pages
Repetitive maybe but the mist mixed with sunshine above
Droplets of kindness painted a picture of perfection’s illusion
He had to tweak it because even climbing roses had thorns
So many words in the canon and chorus of dreams and delight
Revising a story amounts will not hinder narration and license
Maybe he will just dis one ray from his tale and see how it goes

Take my leave.
Wrap it green around your finger
earth in grass gone sugar smooth
It's a remembrance of tomorrow
for your finger tips to soothe.
Take my breath.
Sweep it under frost and fortune
ice and passion melt, undo
It's the start of conversation
from my countenance to you.
Take my strength.
Show me mirrors undistorted
silver shine to mercury
It's a moment I'll remember
when you showed yourself to me.
Take my tears.
Glass encase the weeping show
liquid years embrace me now
It's so tangible, this sorrow
Only you can show me how.
Take my leave.
Wrap it as a scarf of blizzards
fluffed and warmed by winter sun
It's a memory to remember
as the moment we were young.
