Let Sleeper do as Sleeper does
And Dreamer men take flight in haze;
For while one wastes their precious time,
The other makes most of their days.
...
Lively models, under wing.
Under cloud. Never moving.
Ever still.
...
Contraptions built of words can reach
Planets beyond existence.
A guiding voice is needed first,
Then creative persistence.
...
Dressed up fine, ready to swing in time,
I set that Satchmo spinning.
My right hand clicks, he plays his licks,
You know that it's beginning.
...
The keys to notes play tunes of loss,
Tunes of longing, tunes of blues.
'Til metal enshrouding the air does trump with
Tunes of longing, tunes of blues.
...
My pity on he who tries to cheat the Dreamwalker,
For a jealous lender he is.
My pity on she who tries to cheat the Dreamwalker,
For he always receives his due.
...
Mediocrity is no option for those who
Are protectors. The providers, leaders,
Never have many truly understood
How it is that these folks are so good!
...
The pale white of the moon
Alights over the soft, grey stone.
The sky is bleeding all hues of
Red, yellow and a blazing orange.
...
Hades! I pray take me as thy lover!
Violets taken by the shadow of death
Whilst father lays in rosemary cover
Invite Persephone to leave Macbeth.
