For the Poets

Coming back full circle
To mother ship
My favorite anchor
Safe harbour
On Facebook.

I am trying something
I don't understand
Poet's need a cornerstone
For their faith.

This forum
Became family.
Thank you for
Reality checks
For restoring
My sanity.

Uncritically receiving
Mind orgasmic epiphanies
The Creative urge
To discover
Roots of disaffection
To explore and explain
The disconnects
Between logic and Faith
Between love and it's reason.
To unravel the enigma
Of ecstasy
Discarding
Disenchantment.
 
I am dreaming
May flowers
December roses

I'm dreaming
Autumnal hallows
Bewitching covens

I'm dreaming
My innocent
Inner spring tides.
My April heart breaks
My October follies.

Poetic pastors and shepherdesses
You're the many branches
Of this beautiful tree of verse
I let go of
My fastidious bough
And descend
For your lovely arms
To catch me.

I fall through faraway lands
See fairy tales,
femme fatales and
Rapacious pirates,
A thousand ships
Doomed to
Sloops of war
Passing
Through dreary nights

My dreams are of
White knights
Upon black steeds
Unicorn horns crowned
With nuggets and pearls
Of wisdom.

I find The entire
Treasure trove here

My bridal trousseau
And finery.

For I'm wedded
To poetry.
