TKO
A plush carpet of moss
Beneath two weightless souls
Lichens painting the trees
In purples and golds

Softening the scene
A verdant canopy cover
Silvery shafts surround
An ethereal Emerald lover

Doves lining the limbs above
Caress a seed with song
The seed sprouts its leaves of love
Two hearts are shared as one
At the foot of the soft green hills
There she was putting on high heels
Resplendent like dahlias in a breeze
The sight before me had me freeze
Gallantly and as brave as a lion
Swiftly I gravitated on a stallion
Courageously explained how I felt
With a silvery smile she had me melt
Coyly gazed at me yet thunderstruck
Thus both of us were moonstruck
In a helter skelter dash, only to see
We were at the edge of a halcyon sea
Sauntered by whilst taking black tea
As the sun sunk yonder a black sea

Honestly, as ember heavens sleep
Magenta magic smiles so sweet
With whispers from the moon
We couldn't help it **swoon
(A moment trapped in time)

cgembry
Waters still in slumber
The wind gives a gentle snore
As a man rows his tiny raft
Towards a far away shore

Towards a little cottage
Lantern glowing in the windowsill
And a lonely heart
That keeps waiting still

Grey

cgembry
The color grey
Was born to unify
With black or white
It does not ally
The place where
Light and shadow dwell
In harmony
The bridge linking
Ebony to Ivory
In grey yin and yang merge
Without release
Grey is the color of love and peace

cgembry
Stars burst and fell to Earth
I caught the droplets on my tongue
Felt them seep deep beneath my skin
Filling my veins with constellations

I dreamed up a world
Where reality had tilted
And the sky traded places
With the sea
We walked on streets
Of fluffy clouds
Caught stars in fishing nets
While gazing up at celestial waters
Making wishes on flying whales

Staring up at the ceiling
From his spot on the floor
His worried friends
Keep calling
He keeps pressing ignore
Surrounded by empty bottles
And a fancy invitation
That contains
His ex’s name in calligraphy
With a date and location
Part 1 of a work in progress

The mirror is lying
as it reflects
a confident looking man
instead of the nervous wreck
who has a half baked plan
with a limited time
to construct the jumbled speech
in his head
and end the ceremony
before the vows are said
Part 2
