Mecca + Saudi = Irony  

SIR EEL
(surreal?)
my love
it is
for you
it leaps and bounds
climbing
climbing
vines towards Heaven
zinging past
stars
galaxies
meteors flashing

SUPERNOVA

stargaze falling embers

The Fourth of July in your eyes

a waterscape canvas
melting nightscape backdrop
settling upon blooms

Springing forth
from each bud
an electrical Buzzzzzzzzzz
resonating
a bumblehum
of drones
leaving the air
thick and heavy
like buttercream frosting.

If you look to the sky, my love,
you will see the energy.

The lines quake and quiver


A

SONIC

BOOM!


like static
traveling down one arm
to the fingertip
that touched Gods' own
on the ceiling of the Sistine.

Michelangelo knew about love.

The meaning of all existence
is encapsulated
within the minute space
between that first touch.


Touch, touch . . .
what a lousy word,
such dialect.

Aboriginals knew, too.

They needed no speech.

They felt the Earth
pull their chests
outward

MAGNETIC

throbbing ache
of telepathic temple
told presence of:

Mother Earth
God
Buddha
Muhammad
The Great Spirit
Yahweh

The bum in the gutter
has knowing eyes.
I bet you never took
the time to see.


Well, next time  

LOOK CLOSER!

I bet the iris
reflects
your own soul
and possibly
NOT
the dirt and worms
he befriends
but the freedom
there
the knowing
the crazed stare
of a driven soul
tunnels of poetry
waiting to flood
the city streets
and drown the foolhearty.

The Genesis of an Apocalypse.

Trust me, Sweetums, I never had the kind of expansive thoughts that you have had while sleepwalking! lol

The scope and breadth of this stellar write is spell-binding!

Love & Light,

stunning really.....the thought and emotion in this....I felt as though I were reading pages from a lost diary....WOW--- have missed you....

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

it's the first touch that tells all

this was perfection.

damn little sister...

I knew there was a reason I missed seeing your words grace these pages.

This is simply awesome, and yet even that word doesn't give it the merit it deserves.

Keep um' coming... even if it does mean staying up late hehe

Love ya gal
