Cloud Creature

aloha poets,
               Creature in the afternoon clouds over Waikiki inspire today. Enjoy!


Phantasmagonia: 
                            an "Ode to Groovy Mellow..."


It's the edge, the place where the wilderness meets brattiness
Lassie's lassitude greets the attitude of industrial cattiness
Merges of revelation where sensibilities reveal the uncivilized
Where the icons of woe dueling Ivanhoe are never trivialized


The beautiful composed, alive and well in the mind's eye
Meets chaos in proud isolation eating only his cherry pie
Lofty reserves of empty marbles in a monkey machine
Presented pretty calls attention away from ideal scene


Shimmers of lakes in moonlight is devotion to art
Pulses illusion to exalt and then reinvent the start
Courtships of the mind require etiquette so refined
With spells so easily broken, they render you blind


Imaginary daydreams present the beautiful and troubled
Signals influenced seize longings simmered and bubbled 
As reality dances its passionate urge for fancy residences
In fountained pools across the bay, where the evidence is


The hero is your mind, imagination a vibrant little fellow
The zero of the divine feels righteous and groovy mellow
Your best bet is a friend who brings along a slow wit
To water the ferns of your infernally poetical candles lit


At close range is really, for certain, where love dies
Voyagers wander the distance, search with bright eyes
Hoping to come upon forests of cool greens and blue
In reflecting waters and soft shimmers they find you
