Look Both Ways

Before You Cross Your Heart

Look both ways before you cross your heart and hope to tie

Your shoes say,

"You can’t dance if you don’t try."

Just move your beat to the sheet of ice beneath your toes.

Get a grip.

Try not to slip.

The sound is nearly fro-

Zen Buddhism’s got a satori

Key to the synchroni (city)

Of elephants give thanks for Ganesh blessed me

Bless Thee my God

My Own

My Source Code and Coffee

The energy in me needs the

Atomic structure represented quite clearly

Still loving you dearly

Wonderfully fearfully made in the shade

Like a king with an ace of spades

Graduating with greater grades conceivable

Than power unbelievable

Is entrusted to you in full

Like a crowd away from the bull

The love that binds and blinds you to fill in the zero

Card uno in the tarot

No scarecrows

To fly away the crow birds who know words

He has a ways to go

Before he gets a turn to pick

The best worm to peck

With a little fleck;

A puny pebble speck

Just so long enough to reflect

On this

And this enough for now.

About the Creator

Conjury

Poetry, reveries, and streams of consciousness. Musings, revelries, and free dreams of consonance. Metaphysics, philosophy, and magick cognizance. Writing things that make me high and do a dance.
