HAPPY PLACES

Old time pop radio and television shows
tuning
bringing
us to places in the mind, our hearts to expose
scratchy
popping
sounds breaking up your peace in times of sweet repose
forties
fifties
brought color TV, a short circuit, the screen froze
dating
football
games made the girls hoot and holler, wearing hot clothes
circles
cliques
hula hoops and wide skirts, wearing full length striped hose
spinning
bottles
kissing the girls, girls hoping to hear guys propose
hippies
dances
flower girls singing in high pitched voices, on tip toes
listening
twilight
glistening as The Shadow knows, watching Happy Days
death and
destruction
Charlie Manson, girls gone crazy, in a malaise
maryjane
smoking
is in fashion, getting high on weed, in a daze
stretching
watching
Petticoat Junction, falling in love, in a haze
playing
running
in the park in daylight, then watching High School plays
board-games
shushing
each other, playing hide and seek, the sunset's blaze
talking
catching
up on events in the hometown, happiness stays
walking
holding
hands for a sense of closeness, a sensual phase
sensing
soothing
the soul, watching Gilligan's Island, laughing hard
excited
grateful
for the times we live in, feeling good, avante garde
content
psyched
up to be creative, cruising the boulevard
standing
fighting
for good against evil, Angels are standing guard
riding
Hi Ho Silver
the Lone Ranger and Tonto show up on Diehard
pleasing
teasing
friends and family, playing in the barnyard
cheering
relishing
horseback riding, listening to the radio bard
longing
living
in the highlights of Ed Sullivan, stars regard
dancing
getting
intimate on the sofa, watching The Flintstones
enchanted
yearning
for The Adams Family, with a skull and crossbones
viewing
elating
over I Dream of Jeannie, love in the hormones
controlling
gazing
at the boob tube, Once Upon a Time, someone moans
flipping
changing
channels, Alfred Hitchcock shows, Alice, Game of Thrones
indulging
fantasies
while watching The Honeymooners, and Sherlock Holmes
huddling
enthralled
by The Life of Riley, Hunger Games, eating scones
fishing
freaking
over The Brady Bunch, The Jetsons, ice cream cones.

LALALAND

Over the years I have grown to sense what is insane
consciously
baring
my soul to keep from becoming intimately vain
dabbling
fooling
around with the occult, black magic is arcane
obfuscating
breaking
the rules of mankind, laughing, while eating chow mein
deathly
hallows
come from the shadows, the dark side to ascertain
running
biting
an innocent on the neck, vampires need dogbane
killing
destroying
the heart, loving death, doubling down on giving pain
feasting
drinking
blood like a demon from hell, falling in the drain
shooting
living
high on the hog, bringing a hiding place to hell
burning
cooking
on four burners, boiling over, going pell mell
screaming
letting
go of regrets, the smell of anger to dispel
frenzy
depravity
in the subconscious brought to bear like a dark spell
nihilism
lunacy
filling the mind, pure insanity to compel
wasting
purging
the heart and soul, psychosis comes in the ground swell
addiction
derangement
comes easy when heart and mind ride a carousel
zaniness
perversity
touches the mind, the heartbeat goes crazy, to dwell
delusion
impulsivity
creep into the thoughts, insanity has a glow
illusion
dreamlands
fill the sleeping mind, the subconscious to bestow
diving
submerging
to the depths of the ocean, Davy Jones feeds low
flying
soaring
into the clouds high above, mist darkness in tow
driving
pursuing
goblins and faeries, banshees with an afterglow
climbing
setting
your soul free, riding on a whale, let the hole blow
stretching
overcoming
boundaries, tending nature's laws, wild oats to sow
malingering
edging
towards a cliff, death in the balance, no time for woe
grinding
dancing
on the edge of darkness, sensing times of delight
pushing
shoving
your way into pastimes, letting your light shine bright
crazed
enamored
by dazzling charms, diamonds go out flying a kite
wacko
maniacal
behaviors come out, the heart and soul will take flight
ego
cruelty
inches into the thinking, the dog wants to bite
bizarre
proclivity
reaches a fever pitch, showing pure wicked might
eccentricity
promiscuity
of wild oats to sow, the bolder hearts to ignite
awareness
serving
yourself, self love, seeking wickedness of the light.

FAERIES

Sprites come into our dreams, like fireflies in the twilight
twinkling
buzzing
like bumble bees, sounds of music come, a vampire bite
dancing
tumbling
about, faerie dust falling like moonbeams to delight
misty
daydreams
come and go, rain drops fall, dance on rooftops, their limelight
imaginary
elfish
landscapes come into view, grass lights up, a sparkling sight
fancy
musing
about pirates and wenches, sailing in the moonlight
fantasia
dreamlands
play on the mind, with time and space lost after midnight
passing
losing
sense of consciousness, connecting to the cosmic light
soaring
making
love in your sleep, faeries flit about with a soft glow
coming
going
into dreamlands, sprites soaring within an afterglow
auras
glowing
mist on a foggy morning, sprites and elves on the go
silence
whispers
come to the ear, faerie dust with music in tow
singing
making
up songs from the soul, the heartbeat will make the love flow
ringing
filling
in the gaps between sounds, faeries steal a cup of Joe
delirium
sensing
love in the round, King Arthur doing the flamenco
ghostlike
images
come to mind, Casper booing at you, eat a Ho-Ho
delusion
amazing
the eyes, fantasies growing beyond the filtered mind
novelty
adventures
of the mind, the heart and soul letting go, unconfined
freeing
madness
setting in, the subconscious comes out, the mind is blind
gremlins
Gothic
darkness is brought out by a mime, a cool mastermind
superhero
tomorrowland
filled with faerie dust, goblins and banshees are defined
bizarre
mythos
comes true, beast and human will intertwine as combined
fables
escaping
into the subconscious, nevermore is left behind
monsters
giggles
in the closet, love in the consciousness unrefined
darkness
wicked
ways brought on by a witches spell, made with a spit curl
shadowy
darlings
moving about in wild shapes, faeries doing a whirl
solitude
chaos
makes the subconscious awaken in an elfish swirl
enchantment
sunsets
are a breath of sunshine, faerie oysters bring a pearl
stillness
captivating
elfish minds, faeries fly about, as banshees unfurl
ravens
casting
spells of nevermore, bats drinking blood from a whorl
shading
evil
dreamscapes appear, faeries singing like a bunny girl
swarthy
obfuscation
hides reality, faeries flit more like a squirrel
dreamscapes
whimsy
fills the imagination, faeries are a big deal
kooky
folklore
comes to life, brownies leaping about, dancing a reel
surrealism
tricking
the mind to see landscapes, doing a spinning cartwheel
laughing
changelings
turning into animals, faeries growing surreal
shapeshifters
visions
of clover with sprites with elves, using a spinning wheel
hallucinating
grabbing
a handful of moonbeams, faeries becoming more real
conjuring
Tolkien
creatures like Hobbits, walking about, faeries ideal
playing
Utopian
world to run about in, no longer afraid to squeal.
