there’s a barnacle scar deeply ingrained on the basalt stack at mark thirty two whispering summer winds scented oil cotton and roe drift as waves brush and shape the sandstone shore the briny air and lost erratic set a tone to this pollyanna portrait it's andrews undulations and gifted benches its concessions and traces of the barry burn its sculpted driftwood and sanko lines make this picture almost perfect children play as venom spews from the caterwaul pair those odd looking mates casting smiles with arrested despair settling shots swiping bugs dipping and darting as photo men and muscles and long neck seabirds make their turn the hunched hoody and his sorted sidekick get their fill (of moss and rubble ~ chubby and kelp) nice to meet your acquaintance the pho man would say an odd drop and ironic turn from those horrific corners of timeless desperation down by cannon bridge harbor seals and carriage horse are fronted by raven shade jolly tides pause in quiet bays (with curious looters and *** pickers) sand merchants and field totems all streamed by the light cirrus strands blanket the outer edge hovering craft and shimmering willows bolt the evening frame blood orange and tethered with a filtered glare bottle-nose dolphins and seabirds (and shifting tides) are all settling in for the long night stay

Stanley Park
Soft melodies of the deep sea echo Moonlight dances on my pretty scales And icy bubbles whirl under my chest Through my slippery hair And down into my lungs to clear the way for overflowing foam Laughter splashes behind my lips as my anticipation rises Waiting for a night of twisted fairy-tales and uncalled for surprises. Shimmering bodies swarm in spirals Grinding in unison with the waves crashing at the surface We're anxious for overflowing foam and hidden treasures Purple light pierces the dark like shards of crystals Casting a ghostly shade on bulbous faces Pressure rises as each wave surges Whirlpools of hot breath suffocate our gills But the sidelines are shallow And stragglers float motionless Hair like seaweed at the nape of his neck Unbuttoned linen soaked and dripping Her hollow eyes glow green Like the jelly orbs of a fish under florescent lights She’s pressed against a boy who has hooks for fins Searching for the parts that are edible Tender, Scale-less, Slippery Nothing wrong with being the catch of the day Right? Bubbles rise and pop as the last melodies drown Schools of us are begging for shiny hooks and bad decisions A handsome boy has been smiling all the while He’s caught in a fisherman’s net Craving salty lips and the spell to make him a man But fisherman don't care for little mermaids With hearts like sea glass and no hidden treasures to steal Sweaty fins splash and cheer The fishbowl shatters Sea glass spills out onto sand We squirm and flop onto land Gasping without air to breathe As our mouths and ***** thoughts dry in the sun Leaving behind fresh meat without mouths to feed. Rainbow confetti was stuck in the grooves of my scales Wet clothes left on the floor of a steamy bathroom Gasping and moaning into tile With the face of a handsome stranger Because this meat shouldn't go to waste And I'm drunken with desperation For overflowing foam, jewels, and shiny hooks But I'm just another fish in the sea Tumbling in the waves with my rainbow confetti scales.

Confetti Scales

Firefly
they emerge from the wooded neighborhood ridge and fringe at dusk into breadth of lawn & limb. witchy chicks casting banter n bitchcraft. teenage dead end dreamers tipped in black magick lip gloss & glitter, their genderfluid familiars &/or wayward boyfriends apparate in the street pink cloud spinning wheel, & hawking bile. ****** stella smile. swallow a hex, send a snap, tongue along his neck promising to fold bodies before sunrise. the effervescent gasp of post-ritual clarity. in the house, is a kid. a gig. the devil with a younger grip. & the kid thrills on a bit of the ol’ u l t r a v i o l e n c e. ****** videogames, ****** anime, ****** mayhem n melodic music. he is a conduit of dark energy. a pure blooded offering of the stone age/video age, mind in a kind of kaleidoscopic way. he is me. bred on televised bucket slime ceremonials. she checks her purse. drugs & snacks & juul & a pretty dead bird. a daughter of delphi watching your kid. tending to him. trending him. popcorn smelling him, the texas chainsaw massacre on vhs just before bed. palace of teeth n twigs. just a short walk to the edge and then its bath time. the demon version is grisly and cruel. the angel version is starry-eyed and adventurous. to conjure some thing, at the cliff jumping. it was fun.

*Copycat
Spring upon the rose and live on the flow— delve into the fragrance that goes full tilt on petals that never drift with the wind. Let it be—without form, without a visual show. Let’s not forget the truth: even in pitch-dark invisible moments, the Moon puts up a show. Believe it or not—around that sweet spot, the artistic paragon, Paradise, may be the next stop. The butterfly paradise slips out to fly, wafting into the enduring scent of a paint so bold. Lo—on its picturesque wings it holds every eye; where it reaches, no one knows. It’s on the other side of the pool— only Queen Fathima knows that sweet spot! Any pause is deadly, heavy-handed on that route. Death is no more; it’s unknown now. And time—ripe for beauteous sight—is on for good! If only one can hold their gaze, walking the secret alleyways of God! Oh, they flower in the fire, dip into the sea in a single drop of water, and pan out to another world within this world. This time, Moses resists not— his eyes peep beyond the burnt Mount Sinai, gazing through burnt kohl, across the shaded pollens of the Ultimate Burning Beauty! When it’s live in the true terra incognita, it could be beyond the paradise rainbow— the one show the true seekers sought the most. Before long, all the rest may fade into the kohl. Godsent, the most beautiful feminine paragon—Fathima— lifts the black screen off at once, casting her gaze from every never-blurred, myriad fractal pixel. All in all, even the never-known pi digits in toto soak into the one true description of reality's show! Be en route— it’s only the chosen eyes’ wonder-show, where the handsome swans of Paradise stand on their toes.

They drove me across the country, from the busy city where we departed to intimate villages where they recessed, and spent a star filled, moonlit night singing songs, their bodies casting long, wavy shadows from campfires they huddled around. Just as I got too cold and my wheels couldn't turn anymore did they finally turn the spark plugs, revving and igniting my despair and sensitivity producing heat. Sometimes they pushed until I shoved and scraped my rubber on asphalt, on rocks, on sand, on boulders big and small, and I hit a flat-line; the air I could hold in no longer. They rode me into a forest whose undergrowth was as thick as a bears' fur during the winter, and redwood that spanned the horizon you thought it could pat the constellations. A forest teeming with life that one would react like Wendy from Peter Pan-- never wanting to leave Neverland. And I could see it in their soft faces and squinting eyes, bright and lit up with joy, every detail apparent as if I burst my headlights into high-beam, directly on them. It was there I ran out of gas and my engines parched for oil, from the endless adventure that was exhilarating and memorable. One could, as a result, easily forget responsibilities. There was no service or refill station nearby, so I was abandoned where I parked, flat tires, rusty hood, broken chassis, dilapidated suspension. I've proved my worth from when I was brought in and over time it wasn't enough. Only repairing, never maintaining.

In all my paralyzing confusion, only one thing is needed; in all my anxiety over my much less than ideal circumstances, only one thing is needed; in all my this-is-so-unfair discouragement, only one thing is needed; in my pressing-down-like-a-boulder-on-my-chest grief, only one thing is needed; in my feels-like-my-insides-are-being-scraped-out sorrow, only one thing is needed; in my falling-apart-at-every-seam life, only one thing is needed; in my can’t-seem-to-muster-the-will-to-get-out-of-bed depression, only one thing is needed; in my sure-I’m-finally-going-crazy state of mind, only one thing is needed; in my so-mad-I’ve-got-to-throw-and-break-something anger, only one thing is needed. In the scorning and tormenting face of rejection or betrayal or failure or devastating news or disfiguring disease or the worst fears of my heart coming to pass, only one thing is needed—to come and sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to what He is saying. To entrust myself to Him, to acknowledge His presence with me, to submit myself to His perfect authority over me, to just look at Him and recognize His all-surpassing worth, to feast on Him, to wait for Him to speak and know that He longs to do so more than I long to hear it, to meditate on His Word and speak it back to Him both in praise and request and to ask Him exactly what it means for me right now, to be ready to respond to Him in obedience and follow him wherever or however He leads, to be willing to tune out every competing voice no matter how well-intentioned and to say “No!” to whatever He has not called me to, to believe that He cares deeply and passionately for me both in His emotion toward me and in His personal tending of me, to see that the details of my life matter even more to Him than they do to me and that He holds every one of them in His hands and is perfectly directing them for intimacy and glory, to refuse to be drawn away or worried or upset by the many preparations and distractions all around me by casting every burden down before Him and taking up His all-sufficient grace for every need, and above all to want Him more than anything and to let everything else fit into that all-pervasive desire—this is the ONE THING that is needed both now and throughout every season of my life, and if I will choose it, it will not be taken from me. It is the one thing worth fighting to the death for and will, no doubt, require just such a dying again and again and again...

there is a monster beneath the lofty, billowing sheets of my bed beneath the mattress the box spring the carefully crafted wooden frame. [he lives in the shadows, in the obscurity there.] i should feel sheltered...safe, underneath these sheets, [like my mother’s arms tucking me in tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.] but when my arm dangles off my bed, when i commit that fatal mistake, i feel a draw to the ground more forceful than the force of gravity seizing my hand paining to pull me under. and i know it is the monster. i feel his yearning for the blood and guts of a child... his desire to rip me apart like a lion does his prey. i take back control of my hand, wrap my arms around myself, feigning safety. for as we all know that monster could very well clamber, creep out climb onto my bed and swallow me whole. i don’t know why he hasn’t yet -- perhaps he likes the challenge of waiting for me to be susceptible enough to forget myself and leave my arm suspended for more than just a moment. i am curled up into a fetal position paralyzed by my fear. the anxiety invades my joints so that i cannot move anymore. i fall into a fitful sleep and wake up to sunshine radiating through my window, casting the intricate patterns of my curtains on the rug. during the day, the monster cannot survive. but when nighttime falls the darkness returns, my trepidation returns and the monster is alive. well, again.

The Monster in All of Us
I stood there, Tall and proud, Half yard behind Death drop, Vortex form at toes, Put fish world in spin. Crush moss trees with Splashing feet. One long gaze Left to right, Miles of pool and stream Spelling poetry in cursive Through eroded landscape. Zip down, Junk out. Open gates of flesh tap Muscle relax, Fresh release Of human nectar. Light separation Casting rainbow shimmer, A dancing upright Tower of liquid. Gravity outstretch Palm grip And connect Via web of Golden pour, Chaps eye to Mother earth. A converging Of torrents, Saturating transparent terrain With saffron and lemon. The taste in a frog's mouth Of sweet ammonia. Clench, And donation over. A momentary meld Of man and nature. Those few seconds Putting context into me: At one with the scenery, An extension of environment, A limb of creation.

******* Down a Waterfall
We're here! No party? Ha! Who’s ugly? Leave your pity I'm not afraid Everything’s primitive New Mother's old Father's cold A universe of historic shame Casting shade The assertion of intolerance Blocking righteousness Grabbing ignorance by the pores Let infant nails dig for evolution The bold face of madness Biting to be truly free Sanity expands -ism’s explode Pushing hearts Forward Moon Star Traveler Be you Be here - with me Against hate One with the human faith One for love

Moon Star Traveler
*Casting spells in a song of lust with such beauty undenied. He's chased her half a lifetime and have lost but all his pride. Sailing all the oceans blue He's left his ship dashed on the rocks. Begging for that enchanted kiss from his mermaid as she mocks. Her voice to call within a gale scent heady upon the waves. Nets shredded trying to capture her yet every night he craves. To nary catch a fleeting glimpse of her golden hair or tail. He's chased her 'cross the storming seas as winds and rain did wail. Forever calling out her name He's come to rest in every port. On moonlit nights he hears her song attempts to see her, she does thwart. The scent of salt does show his years but still he sails to her song. Forever on the shifting waves is where his heart belongs.*

A Sailor's Tale
Faith. Hope. Love. I don't have answers. I don't really know much. But I know that those things ignite something in your heart, casting away the darkness of fear and regret. When the cobwebs in the basement are cleared, you find all your old dreams hidden in corners you forgot about. And when you pound your fist in the dirt, and say enough is enough... I'm not here to survive, I'm here to LIVE... to laugh and play and realize my deepest passions... to find the ocean of joy and invite everyone I know to swim in it with me. To love myself daringly; to dance with the darkness of my fears and invite their lessons in. Something doesn't have to change. Everything has to change. I'm not interested in being right anymore. I'm interested in being ALIVE. When you commit these things to yourself, and fight for love, for hope, for the adventure of really living all the way... something happens. Something flips inside you, and heaven begins pounding at your door. Life has always waited patiently on you to stop waiting patiently. Adventure isn't around the corner. It's hiding underneath your heart. Right here. Right now.

wildly homesick
Witches are eating the toes of a troll with a spoon, boiling blood in a cauldron, and chanting mischievous lyrics in the silver moon. Feel their devilish ways cursing life, casting ugly spells and cackling at tormented suffrage and strife. Watch in horror while witches dance, stripping away sanity by carrying off hope with no redeeming chance. **** this nightmare caused by witches, hypnotizing minds by changing their appearances. Hunting desperate men for affection, seducing the weak to coerce their love like a **** infection.

Inspired by Wendy Mass' Every Soul A Star I stare up at the deep blue sky, At the sun and moon up so high, A pitch black mass, A hot yellow gas, Float side by side, Then they collide, Casting the moon's silhouette, So I begin to forget, Of all the difficulty, There was previously, And began to accept, I decided not to intercept, Then he slipped his hand into mine, And I felt just fine.

My Little Black Bear Down by the singing river Dancing with fate Little ducks take to the rapids Away from your dinner table Off to the banks You stand your grounds Tall as you are wide Your initials in the terrain Cursive is the eye tooth that reigns I see you Posing with the lilies, Elves and dwarfs As the western sky looks down Casting whispers Is your closet filled With both helping The meek and sustenance Under the skirts of nature You're having an **** Robbing all the salmon And berries Then slumbering under a tree Tummy full Those big black eyes of yours Catching shut-eye, a couch potato, a game of the week Your wide open mouth Catching a bee, A refreshment That long smile on your face Backpacking a dream Mama and her cubs having your back In some ways My little black bear ... hear, here I see you, in me Logan Robertson 8/08/2018

My Little Black Bear
By my dear angel Sandalphon as he has been lead in my hand, leaving a clear trail of a cursive writing on a transient sheet of paper, A crimson sight, so black that one would be caught in trance, reflected by unnatural light of a lamp flickering in the dark of the night, as his feather releases a sweet scent of fresh yet unused ink, Together with Zadkiel's blooming and happy memories I then am capable to write such down, in an attempt to create poetry, focused, The sound of scratchy, itchy, rasping echos through this room I inhabit, but already left spititually, engaged in the world of fantasy, Word by word, the paper is penetrated by this pen, pleasantly, thoughtfully, gently sliding over it to not damage it by accident, There is no need for haste, heartache nor rush, not is there the need to be concerned about this angels work, duty and his mission to accompany me throughout each and every writing which unfurls, Alike a story from my mind, from my emotions, deepest wishes, cast on the physical realm with his help, And once his strengh weakens, fades, loses might and goes out alike an dying ember he will be dunked in fresh ongoing determination, so that he can repeat his duties with exuberance, joy Casting a smile on my face once literature has been created, As then I lay my dark knight, my servant for the night to rest, Until another poem has to be written and his duty awakens him, After all, in this dreamlike tale it is well to remember; You don't have to die in a dream ~ Umi

By my dear angel Sandalphon as he has been lead in my hand, leaving a clear trail of a cursive writing on a transient sheet of paper, A crimson sight, so black that one would be caught in trance, reflected by unnatural light of a lamp flickering in the dark of the night, as his feather releases a sweet scent of fresh yet unused ink, Together with Zadkiel's blooming and happy memories I then am capable to write such down, in an attempt to create poetry, focused, The sound of scratchy, itchy, rasping echos through this room I inhabit, but already left spititually, engaged in the world of fantasy, Word by word, the paper is penetrated by this pen, pleasantly, thoughtfully, gently sliding over it to not damage it by accident, There is no need for haste, heartache nor rush, not is there the need to be concerned about this angels work, duty and his mission to accompany me throughout each and every writing which unfurls, Alike a story from my mind, from my emotions, deepest wishes, cast on the physical realm with his help, And once his strengh weakens, fades, loses might and goes out alike an dying ember he will be dunked in fresh ongoing determination, so that he can repeat his duties with exuberance, joy Casting a smile on my face once literature has been created, As then I lay my dark knight, my servant for the night to rest, Until another poem has to be written and his duty awakens him, After all, in this dreamlike tale it is well to remember; You don't have to die in a dream ~ Umi

The lone wolf howls in the dark night, casting it's shadow over the pale moonlight. On the river banks, his prey, he silently stalks. Lurking by the trees, he, so quietly, walks. The innocent deer became unknowingly a prey. Targeted by the wolf, who lives astray. Ready to strike, upon the deer her pounced. Letting out a growl, "Beware" he announced. Alas, he missed his only chance. The deer ran away in a single glance. The lone wolf whined on his unlucky loss, staring at the footprints on the soft moss. He retreated back to his hiding place. "Rest," he thought, "Rest for another chase"

The Lone Wolf
Watching a seagull floating lazily Through an invisible blue ocean Effortlessly soaring on invisible waves Course dictated by winds currents Piercing eyes watching, senses alert Casting a moving shadow, cross the deep Tracking a path none knows Swooping, surfing ocean’s rollers Wingtips gently kissing wave peaks.

Seagull
*shadows casting forward pastel edges of water colored nebulous scenes once known i fuse with deja vu in its feather-like fringe i beg for the meaning of history reliving perhaps it’s a maze tho’ previously scripted funhouse mirrors silently mock our own carnival or is it a wink? the north star is nodding a slight innuendo we’re not lost at sea perchance it’s a hint it is all an illusion a glitch in the matrix the black cat walks by i grasp for the answer and peer at the ghostly parchment paper dream as it dissolves to thin air ©2018janetaylor

paper dreams
One Summer's night looking out the    back window at the back garden My! I couldn't get over it, how bright it     was You'd think the sun was still shining The Big Moon casting its ghostly pallor     over everything Like an Enchantress's dark spell The strange cold beauty of it, it held     me enthralled I could only stand there watching,     silently in awe; Suddenly, a peculiar thought came     into my head I smiled at its outrageous suggestion Then grabbing my sunglasses and my     old deck chair I went out into the garden and sat right down there underneath the stars Bathing in the silvery light of the     moon's cold rays, Well I tell you, all the night creatures going about their night business They all did a double take "Hey, that's the funny human bloke, what's he     doin' out this late", Even the cat came over and rubbed her eyes," Wait a minute ", she said, " this isn't right, you're not supposed to     come out at night ": Sensing their curiosity and their     general discomfiture I lowered my shades and looking at them all gathered there in the shiny     bright dark, I said " Don't worry gang, don't be alarmed,     no! don't be aghast It's only.... well, it's only Great Art.                          II I don't know But it seems Wherever I go Great Art is never far behind In tow.
