Thank You

No poetry for the wicked

The mind needs to rest.

Thoughts buzzing on the double

Create a vacuum in my soul.

Magdeburg brain

Leave my heart alone

To feel my feelings

And craft my life

Out of the words

I come alive

Render my dreams real

Tender my apologies

And reapply

For

Another secret rendezvous

Grappling with the wonder

And the mystique

Of the eternal question

Why?

I will I will

My atoms and molecules thrill

With the dare of the unknown

Crown our weary bones.

Star dwellers

We wordsmiths are

Leaving in Lands afar

On borrowed future Time

That curves a smile

Upon a rhyme

Till past meets present

In longing's kiss

And the sum total is this,

A dream
                Of Future's
Joyful Bliss...

I meet my  arrows

Verses fitted upon

My span, my allotted arch of time

A long bow so supine

It's
Stretchy and sublime.

I will bow to none

But all alone

The one

Who guides my hands

Thank you

For this release

Into eternal

Wonderlands.
