More mutterings from the Rose...


OCEAN ROSE

MELODY MELON BRIGHT
OCTOBER MOON
SLEEPY NOON
AND THANK YOU
For leaving me in bed
At a half past three

Now is today or tomorrow or yesterday
All the same
The big lotus of "life" unfolding

Drinking to the skies a wondrous high

And where can you be
When your not to be alive living in the dream of life
MOMENT BY MOMENT
STEP BY STEP
LAUGH BY LAUGH

PINK MOON
ORANGE MOON
Harvest moon
Frosted window pane

Kaleidoscope waves of joy and suffering
Swimming in high tide
In low tide
It's all water
And you might drown or you might stay afloat

The light is there for illumination
The radiance never fails
But then again
Nothing does

Tinkling explosion of sunburst sunshine
Leaves me whole and beautiful
A flower in the waves

And we all cry for the dove of love to bring a message upon silky soft comfort

And here I am
Ocean love
Pure and soft
The light of a dove



GRASS ON FIRE

DELICIOUS WEED GROWN CHILDHOOD
PRECISELY,
OUR PIRATES CROSSING BETWEEN DAYS
GRASSES,
WEPT RED OCEANS
DESIRE,
ALONG TIME
OURSELVES,
ROTTED ONCE RETURNED



OPTIMISIM

MY TEARS ACHE AT MY OWN STUPIDITY
MY EYES REST IN OBLIVION
THE CORONA
STANDS HALF EMPTY
OR HALF FULL
DEPENDING ON THE DAY YOUR HAVING

WIND BLOW; MIND GO

THE VIOLET CRIMSON FOG ROLLS, ROLLS, REEEELLLLLSSSSSSSSSS AND REELS
SLOWLY
TURNING
GLAZING THE DEWY STAR

THE CHEMICAL COLORS DRIP DRIP

DOWN THE WATER
FALLS

DEEP BLUE SUNSHINE
SUNSHINE YELLOW GRASS
GRASSY GREEN KALEIDOSCOPE MOON

RUNNING WILD AND FREE
THE BIRDS LAND SOFT

CARELESS WIND
THE DANCING FLIGHT

THE INNER Tap. Tap. Tap typewriter

TAPS

TRAILING A TRAIL OF TAP TAP TAP

A BRIDGE OVER DEEP WATERS
THE WHIMISICAL URGE TO JUMP
TO BE

THE ACTION! ACTION

ACTION, ACTION

SWIMMING DEEP
SWIMMING BLUE

BRIGHT
BEYIND BRIGHT BLISS

THE INFINITY
A SIMPLE WET KISS




*GIFT* BY DAESHA ROSE

AFTER CALLING MY PRESUMED TO BE LOVER
I SIT
UPON THE LEDGE OF THE VICTORIAN WINDOW DOORS
FEET REST
THE WELCOME MAT LIES LOW
A TALL DRINK OF WATER SITS PATIENTLY BETWEEN BATTERED FEET
THE SHOT GLASS BRIMMING WITH TEQUILA IS TO THE LEFT OF THOSE FEET
AND MY CIGARETTE
LAYS SMOLDERING ON FILTHY SPIT STAINED CONCRETE
I PICK IT UP
ONLY TO LIGHT
AND LAY BACK DOWN

CLOWNS ARE IN THE KITCHEN
CONCOCTING A SOPHISTICATED DINNER

MADD CRICKETS CHIRP AWAY IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD

THE GIRL DECYPHERS THEIR MESSAGES AND WRITES THEM ALL DOWN

THE EYES TEAR
NEVER SAD
JUST A LITTLE MADD

MADD LIKE THE SCIENTIST CREATING A MONSTER
GIVING A SHOWERY LIGHT OF PURE EXCITEMENT



MIND ON THE WHALES; MIND ON THE OCEAN-daesha rose-

The madman
Is on the grass

The jungles are in flames
And only tears can put out the blaze

The glass shatters
The madmen decline

The grass is wet
It's safe to bet

And who can hear the lost sea rolling and tumbling, foaming greed

Who can save the dolphins of gold?
Waking up from dreams to swallow the mold

And who will be the last shell standing
Shaking under a new day sun?



MORE

Anticipating the never-ending theme

Never enough for you
I fly away

Satisfaction

Pleasure

Transient joy
Walking along the route of consumption

Not here
Not anywhere

The ocean surrenders
The fury of the never-ending dream

Am I enough for u

The position is illusion

Form
Endlessly spinning in circles

I wish I could be
Just enough to keep you full

Never ending theme is
Always hungry for something more



Turquoise serpent

Infinity gold

drops
Filling the center of the candy dish

Violet haze
Midnight glaze
Morning cold

Tell me of the leaves
Fallinggggggggggggg
Dddddddoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn
We all go

Eternal moments disgraced by the boundaries of symbols
We all go
We all go
