The Ascend Of A Queen
Queen Sephora

My Lord, what fog has entered the Queen’s foresight
My eyes are open, denied in its fluttering, there is darkness that greets me as pitch as night
Why must my body feel as weightless as water, I convalesced in a fetal position, I am the Queen, of Scotland and England and of Catholic faith never to trust in superstition
Awaken me Yeshua, commence my sacred temple under your skies toll my incantations by the laws of a Hebrew Queen

The Waterloo
Below Sea Level
The Golden Palace Holy Sancturary
The Rebirth Of A Hebrew Queen (cica infinity)
My King, My Lord, it is time, the ascend has begun you shall bow to the wind for what awaits those sacred waters, we await the oath of peace, and love to continue to flow
This Kingdom shall remain erect as the oath of my blood, consecrated by the old relics of the organic soil
The truth you shall see as each nation bows in greeting with love around their King’s heart. Your loyal and leadership is this sovereign coil

Nativity
Both wet and dry, a two-tone asphalt gray
and all the dead leaves were a two-tone brown,
which punctuated the year's shortest day
like a widow marked by a mourning gown
as she faced another prolonging night
of waning as hazily as the moon
through an overcast of old dreams in flight
as melancholy as a weak monsoon.
But inside was a vivid Yule scene
of Noel tableaux orbiting a tree
of polychromic constellated green,
offset against nature's despondency,
encapsulating what some love would do...

Tale of the hare (For Northern_Soul)
I often think of you
the hare burrowed
comfortably inside
my left ribcage,
rising up, stoking
fires in ivory glades,
carving ripples
in blood instead
of water and
fresh lakes,
a beacon as
to why some
still carry
on here.

The Temptation Of Immortality

There are words circulating in the underworld of your arrival my Angelic Queen
We know of the Serer who has the power to fulfil the Waterloo’s divine dreams
You are an embryo to the dark world you have fallen from the energy of Mother Nature’s Earth
Within your Darkness, the Queens of Hades will speak to you before your rebirth

Life in order
I fear it i can see it i can almost feel it i want to run so bad
will all the different colors disperse into grey
things put in their place
maybe i can buy my way out of it
the whole world's gonna know when i disappear
fuck i already did i want to run so bad
could i get a parade on main street
tractors, clowns, and a band
as the streetlights flicker
in this empty place
is that the smell of decay?
waiting
for a life in order
will all the different colors disperse into grey
things put in their place
maybe i can buy my way out of it
the whole world's gonna know when i disappear
fuck i already did i want to run so bad
could i get a parade on main street
tractors, clowns, and a band

Otherwise
A choice of words I randomly scribe, a symphony
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial

Harry and Meghan's Happy Holidays Greetings!
By Stanley Collymore
people in the USA have been saying
"Happy Holidays" since then 1860s.
Try looking up the history of the
phrase instead of guessing about it or else asininely literally implementing into it your
own quite stupid, and racist assumptions;
and basically specifically so, because the
technology is essentially clearly evidently
used by Harry and Meghan! What a really
crude bunch of absolute losers, and very
discernibly also literally pathetic morons
you...

Time Encapsuled
100 years ago was 1924...
Macy's had their first parade!
My parents are not born yet.
Coolidge got his second term.
One third of cars they were electric!
All the movies silent screen, but...
they've now made the first TV!
No bikini bathing suits for 20 years!
Just 5 yrs since the pandemic...
2 packs of smokes were just a quarter.
5 years til the great depression.
Some things change. Some never do!
2024 is our present...
kids imagine their new genders...
both my parents are long dead and gone!
Trump...

The Horde
Funny how promises
Are quickly broken
As more lies await
As yet, unspoken
It's all about control
And power
From which one day
Nuclear war may flower
No words are mightier
Than the mightiest of swords
The blood, and ink run dry
As they release their nuclear hordes
by Jemia

As they release their nuclear hordes
