Flamboyancy and *wit*

Flamboyancy and wit

     Such things are of attribute

But one can only imagine!

     Imagine that there was this.

 

Aphrodite has walked

     On your toes

But then to imagine

     That life would grant

Such fortune as to be

     Graced with such misery

 

But this Flamboyancy and wit--

     Where can I find it?      

Where must i go; but to

     The ends of this world

 

No--

 

You see, this Flamboyancy

     Found in all it's buoyancy

Among my mind, it

     Found all it's Flamboyant wit

Just treading by; and then

     it sat at my side in

All it's marvelous, buoyant

     wight

In all it's marvelous, buoyant

     wit.

 

So locks of perfection,

     Crispy and brown

Armored at the teeth

     I wouldn't say more than

Could be meant, but I meant well

     As it was a fancy

 

I've touched this crisp and

     It is, but the softest--

Just the greatest of all

     Things--

Setting the standard

     And there

It sat to my right...

 

So there's this elaborate Charm

     Such flamboyant carelessness

This luxuriant eminence

     Of pure intellect

Sports-y and adequate

     Not in my reach

 

But this Flamboyancy and style!

     Such wit in her words

Such grace in her laugh

     Such power in that mind

And those witty words are

     Sharper than paper

For paper cuts hurt more than

     The broken bone

And paper cuts can hinder

     more than crutches

 

And Beelzebub does the devil

      Set aside,

For hers stare is innocence

      That moves mountains

As the hand of God did

     And melted Hell's fire

As the ice from Pluto might

 

Yet no Asclepius is of help

     At the sharp pound of her eye

You'll land in a comma

     You'd dream of more grace--

Like an angelic Succubus

     That kills with innocence

 

And this Flamboyancy,

     This wit--

It sat right at my right

     But my inept pliancy

Will find itself in a buoyant

     Force of a thousand

Jedi and of a strength that

     Only the proper charisma

Could ever properly

     Sustain--

 

And until such appears

     I'll just worship that allure--

That accidental allure

     Of Universal forces

As that of which is found the second

     Iron is formed in a Red Giant

 

Nothing else would

     Please me more...
