twin souls

Twin Souls perform an aerial ballet,
circle one anther
again and again
descend, ascend
soar
solar winds tunnel strange earth shapes
starlight showers beget dream dragons,
scorch the Lover's marrow
angel ashes fall,
don't look up!
saints go blind and the grateful dead awaken
Furies search pelican gullets
fish taste of lilacs
an aborigine smokes another peace pipe with
Mephistopheles
the world has gone
mad
the air is thick as a brick
in the wall
humans are having a crisis of identity

we really should take more care in our playfulness,
Darling.

What a collage of thoughts

What a collage of thoughts is this, we are airborne and flying through the realities and dreams of space and race and pace of our lives; through hell fires, scorched to ashes; through wind tunnels to meeting dragons in the sky; pelican gullets with fishy tastes and lilac aborigine smoke to become a brick, red and solid and still. You take us on your eagle wings Anna and send us with your words a history of our minds. The "Rain Serpent" presides in the locked chest of treasures and you have they key to let them free, to fly and to communicate. Long may you continue to do so, for we love to read your words. Yours Ann of Norway

(((((((Anna))))))) thank

(((((((Anna))))))) thank you for *translating* my poem... I forgot what I wrote... LOL! What a concept! Publishing a book of Neopoet poetry, including the poetic translations of Anna of Norway. So loved you are. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

LOL?

What on earth does this mean? I have asked once before but nobody has given me an answer, it is probably something all you young things know about but I am an ignorant old codger and am still puzzled? Please and thank you in advance! I love you all too. Ann of Norway.

Mystical realism..

J.B. Longo-Geremia at it's best. The mind playing with the soul-- creativity, the absurd, reality and dream. Dali's surrealism: the subconscious w hich is as valid a reality as the conscious mind. . The Madman, Seer and Fool. Sanity in Insanity. :) joe
