Spring, Upwards, into the Air
From the vault, into the air, earth's germination supplants, so too, 'sup plants, with insects over bodies of water. Swallow, swallow, and migrate on the magnetic signal. Signal the welcoming tide. May time be outside our door. Leap, frog, over infant trees and then, as I land hopping, devour fertile insects land. From this we earn mettle springs.
Why do we write without any intent intended to render the tender we've spent on food for thought? Can you spare me your two cents? All of these pennies from heaven have petrichor scents. The brain storm rains down in a torrent of feelings. Intellectual property is ripe for the stealing and the fruits of my labor is farmed, yet unyielding. I do not need a hand. I do not care who is dealing. I'm still reeling from getting hooked by the lines that the others were baiting me with. They have wormed their way into my mind. Truly unruly school stoolies drooling over school bullies brooding and exuding false bravado foolishly and uselessly reusing old rulings of crude cretins seated in stations stationary for seasons much passed their prime for unknown reasons until they ripe from their trite brow beating needing to needle the needy needlessly stealing from the poor boxed neatly into unchecked boxes discreetly blamed for the criminal checks filling pine boxes for weekly news briefs under
The Golden King's throne Centered inside the earth's void Source of gravity His form is brilliant Invisible to mankind Creator dragon Dark King of winter On a black throne in the North Water and icefall Nightly appearance His form is mysterious Tenebrous dragon Crimson throne of flame Southern King of desert lands Master of summer Fiery temper Burning impassioned embrace Perfervid dragon Throne of emerald Entwined with lively branches East King of spring Nurturing nature Guardian of the gateways Chthonic dragon Throne of polished steel Set in the West forest lands Harvest nutriment Bringer of rebirth Sower of new beginnings Dragon of autumn
Tamalynd sought council from Kruna, that she might possess answers from the hidden spirit world and wisdom unknown. Kruna kept himself isolated near the pools of Sess. She would walk a full day before arriving at his home. He was brother to a tribal chief akin to her own, and some rumors persisted questioning if he was sane. Kruna's wisdom was vast and he preferred to be alone, investigating answers concerning life granting rain. Tamalynd entered Kruna's sparse burlap tent cautiously, unsure of how the reclusive bone shaman would react. Against all assumptions, he welcomed her in raucously. Kruna listened to her aspiration with focus rapt. The shaman consulted his collection of withered bones and conjured the knowledge of past shamans and tribal chiefs. His evidence was found lacking, eliciting from her groans, and in frustration Tamalynd stared at a gold relief. The panel was Kruna's single piece of decoration. Six figures stood under the ancient sigils of each tribe. They

On This Dark Summit Sits the Queen
There exists worlds beyond our own, home to beings not unlike ours. Inside dark forests overgrown, where a man of conscience cowers, rests beasts of every varied ilk and wanders every vagabond. Sons, set, drink deeply mother's milk surrounded by floral sites spawned. From the center of existence, jutting up from the Normal Sea, a dark summit of some distance stabs far upward accusingly. Stained by dark webs of crude cut gore, and promoting the thoughts of men, the peaks reflect forgotten lore until it is recalled again. Sitting complacent and quiet, in unmoving circles of thought, are those against lively riot who quell the righteous fight you've fought. They abhor the chaotic din of free thinking and expression. They invoke the right of censorship and employ potent suppression. There once came small rabble-rousers who in turn followed a lost child. They chuckled at their torn trousers and found her trembling threats mild. Her earnest resolve was misjudged to how far she would
My sorrow became And black was its existence Manifesting rose Tears of happiness Purity revives my heart A white rose blossoms My left hand outstretched Shadows dance within the smoke Comfort in moonlight Open my right hand Bathed in sunlight and ardor Innocence returns
It is better to act in kindness, then to retract an act in kind. Giving of yourself is charity. Forgiveness is truly divine. Here in the darkness, all might seem grim, camaraderie is hard to find. Your graciousness burns ever brighter, truly you are one of a Kind. Latin Melius est benigne agere; tunc actum generaliter repetemus. Te ipsum das, caritas est. Venia vere divina est. Hic in tenebris omnia tristia cernuntur; camaraderie difficile invenire. Tua gratia lucet et lucet; Nimirum tu differs. Hello! I invite you to translate my poem into your native language and please share it with us, so that we all might enjoy!
Brightly colored and floating about are leaves and lacy wings and things we use to represent the seasonal coil. Much like springs, it wraps around our lives and insinuates a future that lifts from the cold chill of death. Days will disappear into bursts of color while we become time blind. On fragile wings, we fly through instances that could manifest new and exciting colors...is a hope we hold on to as the world grows gray. The intercalary harmonization isn't here to add on to our experience. These stages of time dilation are here to cover our mistaken egos. We used hubris to establish an unbalancing mathematical fallacy.

A Light Conversation of Dark Material
In the dark, what do you sing? Shadows cling to everything. In the light, are you made blind by sunlit spots unconfined? Among clouds you'll find your head, dancing about words unsaid, hand in hand with timely sands that cover us where it lands. Future stories stay unwrit, while our brows and threads are knit, continue we our fast pace ever to an obscured place. Marked by passages of time, written passages of rhyme record our accord with lives entwined, combined, tales contrives.

Cake and Buns...Behind Bums.
For goodness sake, as baker's bake, so does she shake her yummy cake. Her body draped, with clothes opaqued, teases the shape of hidden cake. I explicate, my high heart rate communicates my passion traits. I hesitate, I stand agape, and salivate at choicest cake. Can you relate?

As the orange light of the afternoon sun reflected off of suspended particles dancing in front of my lone window, I wearily stood from my sofa bed. I stretched and listened as the cracks of my body echoed faintly off the walls. My tiny two room apartment creaked almost as much as I did whenever I walked over its floorboards.
We were both complaining, I guess, at the idea of working.
I couldn't call in sick, not that it would matter, because IOCI regulations made it mandatory to give at least 24 hours notice for absences.
Of course, working in virtual space made being sick a laughable excuse to executives of a corporate entity.
The shallow, like a petri dish, infected body of water is cultivated by its namesakes for the sake of making a name for themselves. Every body, per cysts, is a persistent tryst that envelopes (in envelopes) a black and white snapshot. This memory of low fidelity runs its intercourse at a breakneck speed. While ex's excuse excuses as cues to use their obtuse understanding of views they knew would imbue the accused with the truth; the defensive who sieve the defense ends any attempts at amends by the friends caught in friendly fire. Burn. Call the ambulance.
Image made clear to me, as I rummage around, in the vibrant plumage undergrowth under crowned head of a sovereignty earnest in platitudes, but thick headed in fact, who shares no gratitudes. There did I find the king, replete with clothing bright. My hope? Peaceful discourse. The result was a fight. His mind had been clouded and his heart had turned dark. I turned to the magic drawn in an arcane mark, and in that short instance, brought out ghosts most disturbed. Their wailing and flailing toward the king inferred that his past had returned to haunt his waking thought. Not once did he suspect that it was he they sought. Instead it was he who, feeling quite victimized, requested my presence. Though 'twas he I despised I felt compunction still to offer him service. His promises were lies and his oaths were worthless. However, my station as a sage conjurer meant so much more to me than some fool conqueror, so I then acquiesced. After the rituals he, in light of my work
