Ambrosia & Venom

🌹✨🦂

She works in the wee-hours,

Talking to the flowers,

Displaying odd powers –

Unseen in a moment, atonement.

There was a time beyond time,

A rhyme brings the mind – the signs

Dimensions in the shape of a hexagon,

Eons ago, before the overthrow,

Things glimmered, simmering in the Sun,

Shimmering like gold, the thing I speak of is

older than old. Bought and sold.

Paid for in bloody gold.

Much was sacrificed –

to keep this story untold.

Be bold. Be brave. Or be a slave.

Give her what she craves:

Paving the way,

Underground in the maze-like, caves

The bees buzzed among honeycomb,

And the priestesses sing-song along

It really wasn’t so long ago

Did you know

The Town Crier

🔔

Tic tic boom –

Gimme some room,

Fire in the hole –

I got veins of gold. &

I’m taking the room,

Like Va va voom; Vroom-vroom

Autobon chased with

A little, je ne sais quoi.

(& a bla, bla, bla)

You don’t know what I do to the brain

It ain’t the same when you drive in my lane

Got quiet; real fast,

It’s a blast; gunpowder & sass;

Enough hot air for 99 balloons,

Power a fleet of pontoons, schooners.

Shoot you to the moon,

On a witches broom,

I’m a crooner and a howler,

Always on the prowl,

Like the owl – hoot hoot

I get real rude

Hella height on my attitude

I get altitude. Mile high, word?

Fly like birds, skkrrrrt,

Tailfeather twerks,

it works for dinosaurs,

My murmurs be flirtin’

I’m older than school,

Study the soul.

I been so many miles

A few fatal flaws,

Kitty got claws,

Hold the applause.

My apple sauce got cinnamon,

I’m it, I got diamond mines in my mouth,

Let me dig-in for some clout

Shout out to the miners

The real workers

Blue collared badgers

Check your ledgers

They’re taking pledges

I straddle the fence like a bronco

Try me…I can do at least 10

If you know what I mean

Is that wrong though

I got smooth flow.

Like take you to the river

Like feed your hive mind

to the honeybee eater

Like out-wing a hummingbird warrior

Spitting soul fire

Old paradigms feed the Pyre

They call me the Town Crier

Lemon Eyes

🍋✨

I wish…

It all began with a wish.

whispered idly on the wind

The sound of a storm of sand

Rising with the Sun

I came undone…

Beneath her

I dream of her

I wake up wild

Wild with emotion

An ocean of feeling

Rising like a great wave

In a high altitude desert

Where only the Pines whisper now.

Quiet is the tenderness

Found only in the dark.

In the desolate places

Once an ancient seabed thrived.

But we are alive!

Still I cry as if the bring back the sea

As if my sorrow would make a wave

To wash you back to me.

Another World

🎧🎶✨

She sits recalcitrant

Reclining –

At a 115 degree angle

Arms crossed, mummy-like.

In her own world,

Headphones adorn her ears

Like armored earmuffs

Asserting her authority and autonomy

Via her private Musical amusement

Resentment marked her

Young features contorted

She snorted

Eyes closed

Labeled anti-social

She found the only place to go

Another world

The Pen Is The Finest Sword

🪶

I prefer assets to assumptions…

if we’re assessing things

without being asinine.

But like an ill-mannered ass,

I make a passing remark –

poetic license leaves it’s mark.

No one respects “a poet”,

In todays world of widgets,

Gadgets and VR porn.

No one understands the burn,

Of the pen poised to poetry

Or why a poet yearns to say it,

So you might understand

The worms writhing in the can

Of a poet’s stomach

As they take a pen in hand

Stars vs Dinosaurs

🦕✨

Trip trip trip

Get a grip

It’s just a drip

Don’t slip

It’s just a tip

Just the tip

Of the biggest ice burg

Word? And this the Titanic

Don’t let it sink in a blink.

Coming back. Skipping.

You’re still singing.

I think I’m winning.

It’s just the beginning.

Of something like begging.

Sticking my neck out

On the chopping block.

You rocked my world.

Take it all. Take this mortal coil.

Words like oil. Deals like dinosaurs.

No one looks at the stars anymore.

It’s just a little chip

On the shoulder of humanity.

Don’t you see?
