I stood on the wings of tomorrow
sang my song to the wind
and heard it playing on the radio
the very next day
The scripts of time,
Can only be written.
By the Scholars of wise.

They who document.
They who reveal,
The past and future.
To those of real.
Still the same,
No thought of you passed by since morning,
Maybe a little,
But i tend to not bother about it.

Tomorrow,
We'll be seeing each other,
Even if we did not,
I still can feel the energy you released,
And i'm afraid,
That i'll fall for you,
All over again.

Let just wait and see,
How this continues.
My Meridians

We are:
a great circle upon the earth,
passing through the poles,
the East and West of us,
unique pole points of each us.

At any given point
on the earth's surface.
the half of such a circle includes,
two poles,
a singular line connecting
just we two.

This great circle of the celestial sphere,
passing through its calculus points,
fixed, but in motion,
you, the observer,
me, as composer,
we meet at an intersection,
a zenith peaked
a poem,
our greatest achievement.

And when we meet,
at a point of our
highest development,
great prosperity shared,
in the body's rivulets,
a vital energy flows,
when two create,
a write writ, read, and beloved.

This then,
My Meridians!

Noon and midnight,
the period of our greatest prosperity,
without them, without you,
how could I be culled, found,
this meridian, this our direct line,
transferring a tangible taste to both our
Lips.


I need
My Meridians!
6:03am
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Lyrics from "Fly Me to the Moon"
white lies,
so well remembered,
a tool first employed to salve and save,
from places, tasks, situations unasked,
to shape things the way I desired

white for they were pure
devilry,
a lie is a lie,
except for when it lets me,
my very own truth be

these white truths,
double colored black,
by and for me,
I do not deceive,
nor lie to myself

but no longer need I lie
(much),

now, write poems
where, with mortar and pestle,
grind them both up, together
the white lies and the black truths,
they are as they should be,
one and the same

my poetry,
a simple sum of both totaling

**me
For the one who gifts me titles that make poems come to be instantly...

I am glad your secret is shining
the smiling happy outside-
your soul free and dancing
on invisible music played-
playing ringing bluebells-
a wood full of songs here
now in the heartland of minds-
eye seeing inside the outside
the smiling happy souls shrine
for SJR
who lets me borrow his voices, a good man, asks for nothing in return
and therefore, is given all I got...

“She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....“

Van Morrison

old folk listen to old folk
and rock,
stung and sprung
from Pandora's box

someday
maybe,
you'll understand,
certain phrases,
from certain phases,
first tasted at a flavored oxygen bar
where youth drank,
worshipped and adored

and when those certain
word combinations reenter,
slipping in from unawares,
recalling easy the first time
you tasted with your ears,
Tupelo Honey

but what you remember is

that differentiating phrase

and
what you believed,
what you needed,
why you existed,
all because there was a new knowing
,
that
an angel of the first degree,
was out there waiting for you...
Tupelo Honey is the gold standard by which all other honeys are measured. For two weeks every spring, White (Ogeche) Tupelo Trees in the Southeastern swamps bloom with fine sunburst-shaped flowers that glisten with nectar.
