Beautiful Droplets

Taking joy in inner reality, a little boy
running about with a heart overflowing,
reaching and touching every flower until
he comes upon a shower

A fountain of water - a rainbow of waterdrops
splashing with power - overcome by a desire
to own and possess the beautiful droplets but
his little hands only start to glisten

As he grabs, the water running through his fists...

***************************************************

Sing me song of eternity, sing me the infinite music
of longevity, make me a rhyme that chimes and fills
the soul with the heady wine divine of inspired verse
beating a rhythm in my heart, moving me to tears
through the power of my ears...

Inner Meaning

A dignified Knight covered in shining armour
on his white horse, a dignified Knight who has
to make his lines more choice because Alice is
tuned to a strange new wavelength and the way
you talk creates a disturbance that makes the
broadcast grow faint – the nectar is, indeed -

Soft and beautiful words, pure and enchanting
verse, not anything physical and textured at all,
only magical symbols, a symbolical Knight on
his allegorical horse storming the citadel of the
windmills of space and time, drinking tea with
the queen and playing croquet with Alice

Nothing more, while spreading a net of lovely,
sweet-flowing harmonics – and Alice wants to
know, When does the song begin, where is the
tune, where the melody and lyrics, when will the
Knight begin to sing, filling cold picture words
with inner meaning?

Peter Pan in green jumped up and down,
he wanted Wendy to hand him a crown
after he had donned a mermaid’s tail
but had failed to enchant an angry
mermaid from another universe

Wendy was stern, but Alice laughed
and made the moment last by pulling
faces at Peter and joining him and the
lost boys in a gang in the Old Hollow
Tree, Tinker Bell was jealous of course

And tried to pull Alice off, put Alice sat
in the magical chair and continued to stare
at the lovely tricks and happy antics of Peter
Pan who always tried to dare Captain Hook
to take him on with a song

His cadenza was clear, no influenza disturbing
Alice was bewitched, this was magnificent fun
although Peter Pan kept looking for his horse
and his myrmidons all the time…
