George Jeffries Poem
When it all began,
Long ago,
In the way back when,
In the void eternal,
You were a firefly.
Love's sick heat came as a glimmer,
And with it you stood,
Your neon blue eyes
Warm as sun-filled horizons,
Calm as silent river.
We met,
Two stars thrust within the space,
Lost but found,
Visibly invisible,
Unmapped constellations.
Muted heat grew forth
And with it we pursued,
Shrouded in darkness,
Towards the unknown,
Guided by our own starlight.
Pain seeped slowly,
Absorbed into the ether,
Fuelling our ascent
Through the celestial everlasting;
From everything to all.
And we became one -
One in the void eternal;
One in destruction;
One in life -
Cradled in the Supernova

George Jeffries Poem
Carefree wanderer -
How you bathe yourself
In the tides of your own reality,
Soaked in time and space;
The waters of existence.
Cup your palms now
To taste the nectar that rests there,
Clear as the truth in a lie,
Fresh as the silence in a sound,
And drift once more.
Motionless on waves you rest,
Peering calmly into the night,
And you shall count the stars -
Each tethered by invisible thread -
As you have a thousand times before.
Then, you shall drift,
Coaxed by warm currents,
While you sleep your peaceful rest,
Dreaming of starlight and sunrise
Cradled on the horizons of yesteryear.
And when you wake,
You shall awake to paradise;
To soft sheets and snug blankets;
To a world before perfection;
To hope to dream once more.
