AFTER A STRESSFUL DAY

-

 

After a stressful day

I give a full blown sigh as I make haste to marinate in my hot bath tub.

In a slow but steady pattern, the events of the day flash before my very consciousness 

And I make desperate effort to unpack them from my mind 

While I sip from the glass of bacardi that sits sexy at the edge of the the bath tub.

Jazz music steeps from the boom box and becomes a masseuse to my mind and soul.

At that moment, I realize my bathroom has become a dome shielding me from dreadful reality 

But I choose to hold on tight to this treat.

I do not need to be reminded of the fact that every good thing comes to an end

Because in the end I would have met my heart’s desires

And maybe I will be too drunk with rum to walk vertically to the bedroom without feeling like I’m stepping on clouds

But I’m stepping on clouds

Embraced by white fluffy shower robe, 

I open the box of pizza laying next to the bed lamp to feed the relentless workaholic that resides in me.

All tabs in my head are closed 

Mute television of little children playing on the beach rolls my eyes into a new day as the blaring alarm clock kills off the potential hypersomniac that resides in me.

AITHÉRIOS🪐🧚

-
During my cosmic quest for the undone, I came across the second daughter of light, Aithérios. I had initially had an encounter with her sister Luna, so I decided to take precautions. I met Aithérios in what you might call a dying star Her aura gave me a second chance at chasing the adventures of my cosmic quest She was magnificent in her carriage and not even earth’s prettiest birds and butterflies could compete with her colorful regalia Her last trip was to Saturn where she studied the mysteries of the Rings On her little finger sat the ring of Eros. Rumors have it that any mortal that stared into the rock of the ring will be consumed eternally by Eros’ arrows of love.  Her voice was a nesting call for the birds of the earth  And her eyes carried with them the antidote to delirium. We got teleported to the most ethereal realm of the Earth just to exchange entergalactic stories. She spoke with words so soothing yet sharp. The wisdom of a thousand sages together could not equat...

SPIRITS🧖‍♂️🪽🪐🍃🌞

There are spirits dancing in the gallery of my mind.   They sing songs of holistic freedom.  These spirits sweep me into an ocean of mysterious curiosity.  To unravel the myth of the old world. To bridge the past and the future.  Water is light and earth is shadow You cannot swim in a river that has no soul You cannot dance on a ground that has no pride. Spirits make me a portal They shock me I shiver as electricity flogs my brain And my cup is filled with spiritual energy  My father warns that an additional chemical substance will cause my cup to spill over  I am scared of a spiritual volcanic eruption It is a gory sight And the one tangible reason why I stopped drinking alcohol is because I realized i already have so many spirits inside of me Oh ye spirits Why do you choose a man to be a vessel and not give him a cloak? Paint this atmosphere with your presence  There is a fragrance in the air So sweet, An atmosphere.

  Have you ever seen a cellophane  dance recklessly in a deep blue sky? I throw a stone with my wildest inherent strength  Aiming at  the  gods that dine and wine on the round table of the golden heavens Just to cause them to pause and look down on a hungry boy who only knows how to dance Dance like a cellophane My mouth stays opened  as I gaze into the blinding sun As  an obvious sign  of thirst Thirst for freedom Maybe the piss from one of the drunk gods will trickle into my dry mouth That I may understand the mysteries of the old world   The old world when  we were gods The world where our heads were adorned with butterflies And our feet caressed by the clouds that are now far above us What was the last thing we did in common before our banishment from the golden heavens? Oh I heard we drank from the golden cup of the things that are to be A forbidden quest War broke out i n the golden heavens and my ancestors  were defeated And ...
