"halycon" poems
Cardinal sun rose
blooming as the
budding flower.
Buddha chants in the
chimes of birds
ethereal caught in gradual hot wind,
Darjeeling tea steam rises on tabletop my
mind is waking over Indonesian morning.
Foreign babel as hours draw even
cacophony of hurricane horns
the Denpasar traffic drumming
chorus midst markets where
radio emitting Li Zengguang
dizi dizzily prancing into the
assortments of spice and coiling fabrics
patterns potent azure and golden
royalty brass clatter caged noise
boiling *** cries the Orient!
Overgrowth spots the charring temples
in majesty and abundance cradling the narrow
Balinese streets while tropic palm
and orchid spring swells the soils.
Ardent sun sheaths eastern archipelagos,
religious offerings canvas sidewalks
incense burning in overwhelming
bouquets of efflorescence smelling
daedal tapestries within the paradise.
Sun goes on setting the jewel easing
underneath the horizon,
butterflies sway in rest
hearts on fire
the ceremonies have finished.
Thunder shrieks against the sea
torrential rain firing on villa ceilings.
My eyes set to sleep
consciousness transitioning
between two dreams.

Still water runs deep,
But the puddle remained,
Ripple less
To take turns to look in the reflection,
of the backrounds sound that reverberates across the landscapes.
Twisted invertebrates,
You still got my back?
We’re stuck in the mud,
up until our waist.
As the sunsets' behind,
I can’t look over,
my dislocated shoulder,
blades,
slice and sharpened,
by pebbles grains,
and then
skimmed across the puddles
so only ripples remain.
Though they soon disappear,
into the stagnant grasp
of fear and statuesque
placid, tranquil times.
In a hushed halycon,
hedonistic slices of life.
Still water runs deep,
but I drown in the shallow aqua,
in the afterlife of undulation.
The aftermath of the ripple effect.

if the dress is ripped it can be mended,
if it is shredded it can be lined
with net for strength and longevity.
***** will wash it, iron and air it,
loosely bind into keeping,
a collection, memory
of those halycon daze.
will buy a suitable hanger.

Dusk falls as I lay in your arms, I return to life for your glimpse of warmth upon my form, I listen to your lush voice coming as the waterfall of sound from your lips to my ears, I could not have telled when you arrived from the dark as the cologne of a long lost friend with the scent of celestial tenderness, I invite you to never let me go, for I still carry you as the halycon of my heart.

Today marks the birth of Spring!
Sun Ra says so,
Halycon Jazz and
desire blooming from a blossom's womb.
Glass tower apartments line the waterfront ignited by the
sun's shy arrival.
Birds have become more public in their idling and a
schizophrenic joy has flowered in people's heads.
Shining
showered
tended root
the horn's bellow in all directions,
windshield wipers shall have their hibernation
while this garden city constructs
a new tune!
AND A SMALL BELT OF LIQUID LAMPSHADE IN THE SKY!
SOLVENT!
HEARTBEAT!
Weather's cleared up, AT LAST!
The candy-shaped hookers of Rock Bay can draw their laugh-on-lips
and straighten themselves
to Patience and Prudence's “A Smile and A Ribbon”
A man outside a gas station one block down the street from my house
can get his cigarettes and quell his KICK
to the sound of clouds evaporating.
Today marks the birth of Spring!
Snow's wet corpse made into a child of yesterday
I'm in my 20th ******* year, I'll grow more inspired as it hits April
KAMIKAZE PAINT
RABID POET
PAVEMENT TRANSPARENT
All of it is H A P P E N I N G
this FORWARD CONDITION!
I'll lay in bed reading my books on reincarnation and
“Meditation: A Practical Study” (Adelaide Gardner)
while I finish the last of the Winter's wine.

All these self-inflicted rules
are ripping off your existence,
making you a box, chained up,
in some rusting cage.
Anna, I know people aren't all that pretty.
I won't forget when we sketched mankind.
He was too fat to move, too drunk to talk,
and too proud to back down.
But do you really think you need the rules,
to keep yourself superfucking cool?
I've ****** on your fingers,
I've listened to your secrets,
I promised I wouldn't fall in love with you,
but of late, I decided that was a dumb rule.
Anna, we were made for straight lines.
The circles will only sink us into the ground.
Progression, constant evolution,
patterns and conditioning are for the typicals.
I want halycon evenings,
just talking peaceably under the blanket,
and if we recieve an invitation,
no matter where it's to,
there we'll go.
A collective soul isn't impossible.
It is only reserved for the least
frightened amongst us.
Unchain yourself,
Anna.

Reason for my smile
I can't stop for a while
Nights made
Days better
Inner beauty lasts forever
Harmarita, Smitten, to the maxxxx

Gives me hope
Confidence I can do it !
I do it in his name
As though he's in front of me
Halycon
Rapture , helll yea
Words tangible towards me heart <3

Brown roots burn
— black ashes
The systematic crashes we’ve devised
Revised our future
— to repeat the past
Was this all too fast?
— Too slow?
Another empty show of hands
The bands have left
— and the stage has cleared
The page has turned
— and the ink has dried
Now it’s just:
You and I
Green eyes
— Suicide
Halycon
— On and on
But now you’ve gone too far
Play the 45, and I’ll see you
— when the album ends
The bends of your lips
— your collar bones and hips —
— Your moans
Gather your pens
— and spell it out
yell and shout
— until your message is clear:
— I’m dying to hear your voice
Or maybe I’m just dying
Time is running thin
Yet time is a myth
— and death is a dream
It seems it’s time to wake up
— for the sake of us
You and I
Green eyes
— Suicide
Halycon
— On and on.

I'm a lucky girl
U know why
Because there's a guy
That I like ,
He likes

Now what are the chances of that
happening ? :)
Flirting time on occlude on
All parts of my body
Introspective is bright
No dissent
A sidle here & there
Halycon !!!!! Yeee Haa

Oh what a scene
Cricket being played on a field of green
Eleven players per team all dressed in whites
What a fabulous, glorious sight
Bowlers bowl, Batsmen bat
Umpires keep the score, was he out, "howzat"
Bowlers aim not too high, not too low
Bowlers bowl not too fast and not too slow
Batsmen notching up the runs
Receiving the ball at full speed, hitting the ball to the boundary for a four
If their lucky they will hit it for six, over the boundary bar
A coin is tossed for who bats first, the losing team defending
Six ***** per over, 50 overs per inning
Who scores the most is the team that is winning
A few rules to abide
Keep your leg to the side, dont get caught leg before wicket
Bowlers of pace, try to keep the ball away from the batsmans face
If you are caught out before you score, a duck will appear on the scoreboard
A century is of course one hundred runs, simply known as a ton
Then comes a break for afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes all freshly baked
The second team step up to the mark
For this typically English game in the park
Families attend from far and wide to watch the battles of the two cricket sides
Battling it out on a field of green, halcyon days continuing

I lived my early childhood and adolescent years,
dreaming.
Musing about how when I grew older,
I would accomplish anything and everything.
I was so giddy about living in this perfect world,
that all the imperfections flew right by.
Because in those fantasmal dreams of mine,
I saw bright swirls of colors.
Hues of green and blue.
shades of yellow and colors like cerise, pink, and orange.
They danced around me.
They stirred inside me in a halycon manner.
Bubbling up so effervescently
like soda pop tickling the back of my throat
Nothing could break me away from your high spirits.
That was until I turned a little older and received a soupcon of reality.
And for the first time I felt...lost.
Confusion began to nibble away at me and I became afraid.
Because one by one my dreams slipped away; out of my reach--my grasp.
And all the imperfections in this world that had once flew right by me--now hit me in the heart.
And I had no choice but to face it.
I wouldn’t be able to fantasize any longer.
Like I wanted to.
Because reality had arrived at my doorstep.
And as I watched my amazing dreams fade away,
Ashes began piling up in the back of my throat,
And dark clouds of gray and black suffocated me.
I wanted to escape it all,
Maybe go back to the utopian like fantasy I had built in my head,
That was far better off than reality at the moment.
Because this moment was all too surreal
The navy currents swept me under and carried me away,
and these became the tints of my broken dreams.
