scribbles, cursive, and quills
ink, tears, hyperbolic memories
fantasy and wishful thinking

from my ballpoint wand
sparks spring; rolls tsunami

</div>

Fey, lothario, and blossoms
drop, tenderly discarded
          bon-mot offerings
knick-knacks, bric-a-brac
a menagerie of metaphor
to mollify the Muses

</div>



fables and myth
pleas for adoration
odes to your beauty
prayers for peace
abundance and contentment
a world bound to love

a simple future with you

life returns
a phoenix rises
reborn in my coffee

channel Madonna
desperately seeking sovereignty
don't tell me its 2025

get current

George Orwell
got his dates wrong
1984 was free

flowing
   
it is vibrationally yours
          you broadcast
you are little out of tune
        your transmission
is just off the frequency

your trajectory
is spacetime warped
spaghettified and cork-screwed

you're stuck in a groove
of white noise and distortion
               a fox hole away
          from the quantum
     entangled wormhole
where where
you want to be
already are

it used to be you
but now it is me
it used to be them
now it is us

no ... wait.
it is always them
it's always me

amplify the next wavelength
let it roll out the tapestry

tap tap tap
elevate the troughs
surf the crests
roll out the tapestry
tap tap tap

<br>

wild ones
fragrant and base
blooming in detritus
sediment and rubble

ravenous little things
dead ground to granules
a bed for life and renewal

petal daring
against earth and slate
an un-scrolling invitation
for winged Lotharios

a temporary romance
a dalliance of beauty and biology
                  death and rebirth

a seductive slow dance
       the light touch
of messenger feet
against blushing petals
golden toes, track and trail ore

lashes charged
with metallic potential
gametes meld, helices unwind
to re-interlace, reincarnate
bioelectric fractals

<br>


mute the ugly voices
anxiety, excuses
they lie

siphon the spirit
thin the skin
dissolve sinew

corrode the bone
grey the lion's main
turn your roar
to a snivelling, sniffling
whimper, a whine

elevate
hover above
the mundane
future angst
petty gripes

the phoenix
burns the pitch
to light her way
mounts the low
to inhabit the sky

encircles, embraces

renews her world
with barely a flutter
