Everday the first thing I do
Open my eyes with my palpebra
I have extraocular muscles
At times I wake at dawn
Everything is black and white
My cones haven't any color to perceive
I use my rods
Macula, full of photoelectrons,
make out imagery.
Little light reflecting off objects
I'm straining my eye's ciliary body.
That is contracting on my lens
to see the color that shines early in the morning
light is refracting through my cornea.
The world regaining color because of the sun
energizing my desires of greenary
magnificently glowing plants
as we are arising from the melatonin of the night light
the moon makes its way to the other side of the world
the sleep cycle submerging to the subconscious
my conscious calling me to the light of my life.

In Love and War
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. The meander tiara had been thought about as the countesses united before the queen was moved. While the Crown of Strathmore Rose Tiara had been coronated and moved to a different palace also. “The true dexterity is not just in books. Although books have kept ancient secrets alive.”- (Princess Diana) They addressed the recent ordeal by a lawyer letter to the responding member of the family from Parliament’s heir. The French revolutionary war comes to mind and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I still giving way to modern day. The orientation for the future endeavors began with the Americas state Kentucky. The Federal Forest Service had career orientation and how to approach an investigation from the underworld. The ordeal was not over at the arrest of the “accessories”. Upon the return the mountain range was ringing and a personnel approached the home. The first time I had ever been asked of for Princess treatment. Where has this decade gone since and what frosted courtships unveiled intimate details of ties to the family as I quartered their homes. They asked of an intimate person to the family to be lead on a further investigation. It wasn’t just that this since estranged respondence was being separated from the family again. The history of Princess Holly as a countesses is overwhelming in the essences of time and being saved evasively. The appeal has not been denied for a year since. The harkened feeling yet another account of war. Our earlier years of fury became about intimacy and betrayal. The intimate encounters and the evasive demeanors gave heir to new instincts. Who writes of the sequel to Of Love and War in the Art of War and the truths of the betrayals and manipulations.
