Jackie's Book of Shadows (CH9)
Chapter 9
I
3 am. Empty streets, steam rises
from open manhole as a
figure walks down a brick road,
stepping upon sidewalk, a
look of disgust at passed out
homeless person.
Jumper walking home from the bar.
A black cat ventures into the
shadows of the night.
A crow, perched upon a streetlight,
caws, drawing Jumper’s attention,
rapidly turning around.
Out of the corner of his eye, he
thinks he sees something moving
even more rapidly, something
shadowy. ...

Vulcan, the chauffeur, masked

Sprinter, grabbing the hand of

Chapter 7
I
An eerie, iridescent light irradiates
the waters of The Healing Pool,
bubbling to the surface like the beaker
of a mad scientist, having achieved
event horizon on an experiment,
Broomie’s sisters and allies holding
hands, eyes closed, in states of
deep meditation.
A group vision takes hold.
II
Fast moving clouds, at inception.
Palms touching, pulsating.
They see a golden fetus, turning
slowly…
And a baby Broomie…
And Broomie as a wee...

The Sunset
It was the beginning of dawn.
And the sun,moon was coming upside down.
The colors danced in the sky.
And birds began to fly.
We watched the sunset appear and burn down.
It looked stunning.
Like it was wearing a colorful gown.
It slowly began to rise and show in the sky.
As birds sing and leaves fly.
It began with red,like red roses immortal.
And went into orange,like orange juice.
It transitioned into yellow,like sunshine.
And had really pretty hues.
When it started coming back down, it started becoming...

Chapter 6
I
Like a spiral frequency, circling
the pole, clad in garters and
dominatrix regalia, a sensuality
playfully caressing the edges
of the supernatural, classical piano
notes falling like drops of rain,
Honoria moves with a savage grace.
“Damn girl. You got the moves
like Jagger.” Blue says, brilliant
sapphire amulet shimmering upon
her plunging, ample bosom, one
leg crossed over the other, clad
in leather stiletto heel boots.

Chapter 5
I
A regal glide, Blu passes
through the art deco hallway,
dotted with art pieces on
both the floor and the walls,
luxuriant silk neglige gripping
her curves, draped to the floor,
emanating inner power.
Making a hand motion, the
black door swings open.
Her ritual room.
With another wave of hand
the room bursts into candlelight.
In the center of the room is
a pillar with crystal ball on capital.
In response to her presence, the
orb fills with clouds...

Alienated!
I was abducted by aliens last night!!!!
They told me
They had come
To suck out my brains!
After much jabbering
Amongst themselves
And a few,
Seemingly harmless experiments
Where i presume
They were testing my brain output etc
They suddenly returned to Earth
Let me leave their spaceship aka ufo
Without saying a word?
So i asked
"I thought you were going to suck out my brains!"
"Yes earthling, we were
But decided on this occasion
It wasn't worth it.........

Secrets - What Really Happened?
Little sleep. Clanking pipes, whistling wind, shadows forming in the dark. An old shed with a broken bicycle. A heap of discarded tyres in an unfamiliar back garden. Gordon leaning over and grinning at me, his front tooth capped with an ivory crown.
And then, I'm a boy of ten once again, legging it down Whaley Hill in the August heat. A shape appears on the Clearing at the bottom of hill. Hands grab me, pushing me against a withered tree. A man's voice threatening to kill me.
'Help,' I struggle to say bolting forward on the sofa bed, my heart hammering in my chest. ...

Feeling Of A New Book
Not much people talk about the feeling of a new book.
When you open it and travel worlds.
Like a magical adventure with captain Hook.
Not everyone talks about the classic smell.
Of a brand new book,and the story it tell.
Or maybe about the spell it casts.
And while you read it with imagination,it lasts.
Where you travel to different characters'' pasts.
And you travel through their head.
Through their lives,seeing through their eyes.
And practically living their lives.
Opening a new book for the first time. ...

Chapter 4
I
Sister Christian, oh, the time has come…
Match flicked with finger, ignites hand rolled spliff,
the sound of inhaling ganja smoke, a line of smoke
rising from the smoking implement, forming into
letters of the finest poetry & magic.
Where you going? What you looking for?
Cipher walks over the emerald grass and periodic
concrete squares of the Tim Burton inspired
mansion, doing impromptu dance as he
walks, spliff in lips, humming...
