Phantasm Turbo Flux
A multi layered lofty screen of mist
did what it could to hide the moon and stars,
but the mix was a scene so beauty kissed
I wondered at theurgy in isobars;
a transubstantiation of rare gas
Into astral argent and lunar gold
as spagyric miracle come to pass
in the blear of dungeon undercroft cold
sweeping a dew of dreams across the sky;
a net to drag the slumbrous aerosphere
like Morpheus with a fathomless sigh
adding still more depth every haunting year
to the stupor strata of humankind...

Engravings
I saw you showing up in your rainbow clothes.
I saw,that the time we met.
Your eyes looked black and white,despite your clothes and smile.
They say eyes are the windows of a soul.
But if I am able to read them,am I a ghoul?
We spent a lot of time together.
And I couldn't help,but notice something lurking in the shadows.
I asked,are you okay?
But you did not reply.
But trust me,when I say.
Undress and show me your layers,emotions.
Your wounds and mental scars.
I'll heal your soul,with my hand upon your chest. ...

SPIRIT OF THE ELDERS
They say that the elderly are the most wise ones in the world, as they can reach you in ways you will never truly understand 🤔 For it's a very inspiring and uplifting, perspective of how the moment of absence, can remain intact after so long ago 🤨 For we all have our own personal moments, that we have to reach back in time and remember, the unspoken words said in the dark of the silent of the night, for they say when it rains it pours ☔ changing feelings sometimes dying is better than living but know that it's not over when you lose it's over when you QUITE...

Ignore Naysayers
It is not really about listening to negativity or toxicity
But having mental resilience
While remaining stable in our personal convictions
While staying focused on objectives
Even in the face of skeptics
The disapproval and disbelief of others is not in our control
Therefore, it is not something we need for validation
For true peace comes from within
So it can’t be broken by those who berate us
It’s not really about being facetious
But more about keeping to decorum and restraint
Ignoring naysayers in today’s times

In The Heat Of Creation
There's beauty in this world to see
A smiling morning and a sad sunset
And the flat waters on the calm sea
And a hidden bay, for a lonely boat
There's beauty in the leafed trees
much proud, they rustle in the wind
When tempted gently by a soft breeze
They give a soft sigh as a yes hint
And when the birds flock and migrate
South or north, for warmth or cold
For fine sunshine, a climate temperate
Nonstop-voyage it's what we are told
The lakes limpid, and waters placid
And striders glide,...

An Air of Mystery
Like a card game
Slowly revealing the cards
With strategy and poise
One can pique interest with mystery and intrigue
As others will take notice
Gaining respect and curiosity
Being a little reserved
Becomes an art form
Between a slow revelation and concealment
Keeping an air of mystery about ourselves
Discretion is an important aspect of our lives
Being a little enigmatic is bound to be appealing
May be even fascinating
Being selective with how much and what to share
This restraint protects the core ...

Spring Brings Change
As change comes, so does growth; both products of the never ceasing passage of time.

Easterlies
A lone crow perched on a breeze bobbing bough
clutching it like a floatation device
with every bit of its feathered know-how
foundering on high like a sacrifice,
to Eurus, and full afternoon sun,
blasting glory to every dancing tree
in sky blue by the cerulean ton,
and freshest barometric liberty!
Soon enough, the crow abandoned its post
to flotsam away on knackered wings
perhaps seeking a branch, not so utmost,
or to scratch the grass for edible things.
Fare thee well, oh breeze...

A Flower For Every Pöet
I will leisurely walk in the far fields, hail the herds, share the birds vernal songs,
and open my chest to gather all the winds in the high hills, stand on mountain's
top and fill the eye with so many landscapes that break my vision scope..........
Come rise to a fresh flower sending her perfume to every poet.
come rise to a higher scale of feelings, something never thought of before.....
Your days will stay longer than Earth's human calendar, as time will be slower
and your heart beats, shall peacefully and...

The Vault of Heaven
Constellation Leo westerly leaps
as if pouncing after the setting moon
when all the while humanity sleeps
much to the relief of every racoon
who know full well that midnight will not last
and to make the most of the peace it gives,
like a leftover slice of Yule past;
a dark comfort modicum that still lives
in the cool hours of every night
zephyred wide open for each vista star
beyond the faintest plodding satellite
gamboling the early warning radar...
watching the heavens no where near as much,
as an idealist...just out...

Take it
Sometimes special moments catch you off guard
You’re boarding a flight
Flying away to another lifetime
A juncture is upon you
Which way do you go
What direction do you choose to head in
Sometimes in those moments
Everything changes
A new life path carved out in front of you
Ahead lies mystery, perhaps sanctuary
Perhaps scarcity, perhaps anxiety
The unknown can be a thrill to some
However It can be torture to others
I don’t know where I fall on that scale
But I do know I wanna take the dive...
