Thoughts jump over the Moon, hitch rides on shooting stars, intersecting, analyzing past, future outcomes. a vortex of lies in unnamed galaxies. How much can I control? Let go & enjoy the ride. Would a talking mirror tell me the truth, or just what I want to hear?

"Er..."

"What?"

"I've only got cold fishsticks."

When I I return to the
The price I pay to visit the mortal world
Sliding into the trancelike state, my eyes are closed but my mind is open
They're recording
I cannot lie
But I promise, I'll protect you when they come for us

A crimson blossom
Beside my desk, silent muse
Petals gently fall
As pen scratches parchment sheet
Capturing love, pain, and all

With gentle care
He crafts a bow
Delicate as
Flakes of snow
Beams with pride
His now done
A gift for her
His special one
A simple thing
No shine nor bling
Hoping for a smile
To bring
For his gift
Was true from start
It was his life
His soul...his heart

There goes a madcap frolic in our misplaced lucky stars, lulling tidal fables with Cinderella's ashen suns. A dream-walking kiss amongst sirens' bones is enough to imbue us with night's amber peppering beneath work's dying skies, but for how long on this vine?

To give a rib an odd tickle
I make it my life’s sole
Skew those framed perspectives
Tilt grandiose pictures in frames
Prick those inflated troubles
Deflate their pompous obesity
Pin a smile on Eeyore’s glum
Even if I can never fix his tail

So go
Throw away the remnants
Of this once beating heart
It works no more
The savage claw that severs
Remains stained forever
Let the blood that seeps
Creep through your immortal soul
The bits are to many
To piece together
They will never now
Make a whole
I bury love

In the
of this era
I count what
i leave behind
Romance pittance
smuggle kisses
pleas
for intimacy
There was never
a settling account
between us
Just a pause
Can't turn back time
Can't move on
Love
shouldn't
hurt that much

Amidst the thronging
Lonesome soul I stand
Lost in a sea of faces
No one to understand

All lost in
The laughter rings in ears
Yet loneliness remains

The room is full of joy
I find myself in
Another in the crowd
Lost in the noise

A book of secrets
Lying dormant
A powerful spell
Casting us away
Rushing us towards
An unknown fate
Filled with allure
And magical dreams

A storyteller's touch
Drawing us in
Conjuring up a world
Of endless thrill
Unveiling an
That will never end

Today awaits
Emerge and behold
The sun at your back
Your story will unfold

But if behind
You decide to stay
Waiting for an invite
You’ll miss the day

Don’t miss your day!

Some say it's early dementia
Please don't rant and rave
take it up with Gabe
before he sails into absentia

My heart is heavy
My spirit low
I’m struggling to find my way
I have faith and I will grow
And I’ll be okay
Some day

Sage Advice©️

Momma used to say never be too
to judge a book by its cover.
She’d say, read its contents in
and choose wisely like a fine
scarf—its weave is light & transparent.

Bop fusion trumpet muted
Scratched out in harmony
of human tones
baby cries cut through any din

Our eyes circle cicada
tunes,blown throughly to bleed
Odins bookmarked poetry

Norse angels heavenly dance
in gyrate corrupt motions

Long locks shorn
She rose again
Beauty from ashes
She was reborn
Empowered by love
Never would she bend
Nor give in
Fire flows thru her veins
For eternity she remains
Forever
Love

Emily was a of buzz words like
Emptying a safe was an act of empowerment, keeping the dough, practicality.
So she didn't appreciate it when Powerboy stepped in to save the day.
Blasting him to hell was required

Under taciturn sky
facing broken-easled horizon
brink of evening rain

My mind is a tangle
of incomplete tangent thoughts
Don't mistake my distant gaze
for misplaced disconnection

I am bereft

A cherished flower
needing to release her petals
my color fading into potpouri

our pace quickened, and the world blurred. My pack. Muscles twitched. Animalic warmth surrounded us. Our family. We spilled into the clearing, moon bright as sun. We, the beasts, growled like the wind sighs into the night.
