Love
The Word is the essence of poetry.
in the year of 2223
war twas raging
on ever galaxy
none of the celestial worlds
withdrew their weaponry
they fired in a manner
compulsory
orange tracers
flashed everywhere
exploding munition
lit up the whole universe  
rockets of humongous size
pounded the galaxies
with enormous power
the warring went on unabated  

then one day
an old man from the planet
Certzick
opened his mouth
to invoke an incantation...
stop the violence
stop the conflict
stop the warring
stop
stop
all of it
unto the celestial worlds
a hush did descend
the old man
bringing an end
to the discordant rend

betterdays
so...... we going to fight
there is a pebble in your shoe
there is a pebble in your heart

let it out, make angry
word art... lighting up
the sky with firework
words and bonfire hurts

i stand and watch you fizz
and flame..... words like lava
leaping off your tongue
and wait for the rage to
subside....
then i step gently on  the embers as you cry...

little man your tantrums
done
time for a nap... too much
time in the sun...
and sometimes an almost four year old heart... just gets too full...and then kaboomsky...you just blow...
but you will be better soon...
i know....it's so unfair...
but now my friend...off to bed.
minstrel  muse
make my day
meander home
this Monday
my you've been
a mobile thing
making off
to do your minstrel thing
for many hours
you've been missing
which is most maddening
in morose mood
my mind has been
without my muse's
musical
melodies
