If Vulcan Wakes

If Vulcan Wakes (c) 2025 by The Entangled Pair

If Vulcan fully wakes again and shakes his fiery dreads
unleashing hell in all it's fury on our fearful heads
I tell you once again my friends in words of common rhyme
we perish not in watery graves but in the fires this time

can't see the forest for the trees
can't

Dawn Wakes Nature

Dawn wakes nature; gold sun I see.
In orange sky it rises bright
with radiance enchanting me.
Dawn wakes nature.

Peeking down, sun shimmers its light.
There is a river running free
where birds are floating – a sweet sight.

As if it heard King Sun’s decree,
one bird, wings spread, prepares for flight
to follow river to the sea.
Dawn wakes nature.

I die as he wakes up

He gets up from the death bed
A dream or madness? My thoughts wander
A worrying chill runs down my spine
I throw up hard, then blindly faint

The air grows thick, my vision blurs
Shadows whisper, I hear their distress calls
Silent scares echo through the mortuary hall
My spirit then leaves my body behind

I die. The dead man comes alive
Our

Graveyard Groupies

Look out you might see them
scuttling down your street
patting the neighbour’s dog 
nodding to people they meet

They lurk on hospital corridors
wearing their black shiny shoes
then scour obituary columns
for all their latest news

They follow people on stretchers
to sickbeds, funerals, and wakes
asking for extra cups of tea
turning their nose up at cake

They might just take an interest,
if

A CALL IN MISSTEP OF WINTERS NIGHT SUN SLEEPS MOONLIT WAKES-

It was a a close call;
Twas a misstep I almost fall;
So call in misstep of winters night sun sleeps moonlit wakes;
Despite of the rederick;
I held on to the positives;
Night to dawn:
Shines so bright;
Lightly drinks the fawn;
So call in misstep of winters night sun sleeps moonlit wakes;
In the dark sun sleeps;
As the awaken moon soul dance;
When

Difficulty is what wakes up the Genius

The abounding nature of a problem is the emblem of certainty 
Witty and Brave is a product that lives among humanity
The glory of your story can be found in the difficulty!
Difficulty is what wakes up the genius in the face of adversity

Humans can cope
Holding on to the rope of certainty is a matter of faith!
Therefore,

Gentle Wakes, Violent Waves

You must never disturb a woman
when she is taking her beauty rest 
while floating ashore on gentle wakes
or else she will transform
into a human hurricane
with lots of violent waves
surging right back at you

Spring Wakes - Wujue

Spring wakes / soft hues flow

pinks, greens / cast bright glow

Fall starts / long dark rest

Spring sleeps / neath new snow

Before Dawn Wakes

Before the moon gives reign to the ruling sun, I'm awaked by the crooning of a lover. Not for me does he sing, for he seeks a mate. It's those tranquil moments I treasure, when through my open my window I hear his voice. Sweet love songs in the silence before the waking of dawn

Of and About It All

*** OF AND ABOUT IT ALL ***

Life’s  so much a-coming or a-going,
With hours of waiting or flowing
From now to next
While we step about, hopefully blessed —
On a quest for things major or minor to cherish 

In our sometimes to come.  We sojourn thence
From this place over to a rushing creek’s edged cliffs—
To linger,

As This Heart Wakes To Your Soft Touch

As This Heart Wakes To Your Soft Touch

Sounding a change a call to arms  
echoes in heart's beatings
waging battles against world's harm
found within dawn's greetings
battle yields to heroic light
blessings send, strength to fight

to find a bountiful treasure 
wake to again truth see
by love, can one truly measure
life by a sound decree
for 'tis written, heart

Joy

Dawn sings with the birds
As we stamp the earth at our wake
No one feels amazed at never waking
Who fixes it's emptiness with food
Smoke it's sausages and enjoy it's delicacies
Joy Sparks in every mind
Sweeps every dirt away
Smoothens all edges
Blends every corner of regret
And lots the candle again
Where merriment abounds
A smiling face at dusk
Peaceful heart
Calm and sound

Fuddled Zombie Wakes Up With Coffee

The smell of dark coffee brews in early morn.
Such a treat to wake up to, when I’m groggy and worn 
I’m not fond of fancy frothy coffee shop brew
None of them will really do 
Unless you pour a spot of Irish Cream to fire up a few.

When my girlfriend Susie would come over to stew,

The Mountain Wakes Up

The bullfrog leads to a croaking sound. 
Haunting the summertime downpour. 
It's once entirely stumped in an emerald. 
Streams with a distorted side outdoor.

My angling bar is imploring for my name. 
Across the short zeniths and into a valley. 
Squirrels adore a fabulous time romping tame. 
Mother swamp frog lives in this vicinity.

The ground uncovers

The Ghost Writer Wakes Me

The ghost writer wakes me
From a very sound slumber
She gives me a title to write 
To write down on paper
I awake at an odd hour
To write my title down
On a sheet of paper
By my bedside table 
Then I go back to sleep

When I am ready -I look
At the title I have written 
I stare at
