A life so
A heart so strong
Perpetrators in prison cells long gone
Flutter of a tiny bird escapes through my breath
A single tear for the girl who wears a pretty red dress

We groan
And
Against the
Young generation

Shake our heads
When they use
Their voice
Utilize their power

But why?

Are they not
Our future?
Our legacy?

Or are we so
Naive to think
We will
Live forever?

i can't allow myself the luxury to despair
as long as my blood's mastered by love

each molecule of mine divides just atoms
of beauty, hope, trust 'n' goals of surviving

people without scruples vanish instantly
can't face the grandeur of my soul 😉

Sinking deeper into the ice, I get pulled to the surface. Look out the window, houses are swallowed by black lightning. I hold my dog as he growls, the demon enters the room. I am aware he wants to enter my body. Eyes open shadows lurk in the corner.

In realms far away, the stars dance among nebulous denizens. Casting their glow upon those lost and weary travelers. And guiding them back home.

“Hello,” says my teacher at parents’ evening.

“Is it me you’re looking for?” replies my Dad.

Think your parents are embarrassing? My Dad only speaks in 80s song lyrics.

There’s no point telling him to “stop.” His response is always the same:

“#Collaborate & listen.”

So Fine

How can you love a rose
that dangles from its vine—
and seek its sweetness in
wants where love
adores in kind? The
of no shine is always on the
mind—like lips that tastes of
apple petals—Oh, so fine!

In a zaffre sky of windchimes
& sixteen shades
Of aqua tangled blues,

A night kick of magical dreaming
Dressed to undress

The galaxy within my
Soul..

We need a rebrand, ideas?
Jet packs, just like Bond - Sean is still the best.
Let’s not start that argument again

What are we brewing? Asked Natasha
A potion to reduce ‘Question Time’ to 10 minutes, replied The Cailleach
Sounds complicated, queried Morgaine
Just a wee anti-#prevaricate brew.
More time for our new show - strictly by moonlight?
Not that again, Rasputin. Who let him in?

The seas of Atlantis are fraught with legends. Some perhaps more real than fiction. As pirates sailing in search of the ultimate catch may come across more than their harpoons can handle.

Rumours can be delectable things once the delirium ceases & breath trembles toward sideways fate. Suppose their armada of laughter at another's forced ruin had changed earlier. I needn't bother. 392
