A selection of musings today
As the compass moves
& Earth spins
Winds shift
Loyalties realign
Fortunes wheel spins once again
A crown to fall
Or a fool arise
Zzzzzzzzz
Slicing deep
Your verbal scalpel
Placed with precision
Such surgical skill
Do you even care?
This fresh wound shall B the last
Zzzzzzzzz
Acrid smoke curls slow spirals in the air
Authentic aromas of home fires burning
To draw the weary warriors home
Zzzzzzzzz
Supple leather strokes a lazy path
Meandering along humid valleys
Rising to peaked crests
Teasing flick
And then the sky explodes
Zzzzzzzzz
Beneath boiling restless skies
Nature dances in chaotic embrace with man
Our choice-less love
Our Eden
Becomes a Throne of Thorns
Zzzzzzzzz
With just one word "begin" our world turned to flame
& hell crashed down upon us all
While high on Olympus the mighty Zeus smiled
Zzzzzzzzz
I hear them still
Those moans that echo
That once did spill from my lips
You held me then
Teased my flesh
Burned your name within
Zzzzzzzzz
Sweet mysteries of the universe
Unveil your secrets to my eyes
Keep me not an Alchemist in chains
But free me to explore deeper
Zzzzzzzzz
Draped in somber remnants she moves amongst the fair
Once a beautiful Swan
She now glides in shades of mourning
Zzzzzzzzz
