with dance poems in your hair
breaths of moondust
surfing your lucent skin
a crimson kiss
so sweet
i blush
& as i hear your song
within my heart
you are my joy
my everything
& I'm falling
falling
hopelessly
beautifully
wonderously in love
with the essence
of your exquisite soul

honestly, it’s research
smelling beignets

skeletal verve shook
crumbs tempt the edges of will
i inch closer still ∴

To describe myself I’d say:

An old soul with the brain of a musty old cob webbed shed.
Further moulded into the body of an old secondhand VW #Beetle.

Like the one below.
Reminiscent of the one my dad drove in the 80s.
Bottle green & jumpier than a grasshopper.

Poem by ©️Catherine Beavis
.
i hear birds on the roof
this fresh apricot dawning
listening to their beautiful sonnets
circling cerulean coral skies
where enveloped within your arms
holding their song within my heart
i came to realise
that the hope i thought was lost
the dreams i'd worried had gone astray
were right there by my side
where they'd always been within my reach
in the shape of you
my beautiful kindred soul
& finally i was able
to relinquish the darkness
seeking the afterglow of happiness
to embrace the luminous colours
of the rosy morning light
where all of my fears dissolved
encompassed by your radiant love
~

come meet me upon
the deluxe sands of enchantment
& as our heartbeats harmonize
to the melody of love
& the sea gently kisses the shore
we'll find paradise exists
our very own utopia
in a wondrous sanctuary
~ between ~
the breathtaking tides of dreams

Falls sleepy trees
Sending out leaves
On sparce hillsides Hungry grounds needs
Fertilizing earth's soils
Tilting towards winter's
Long darknesses sleeps

Sweeping the sky lines
Swelling clouds holes
Inside cool moist winds
Intense arial flights
Weaving in stillness
Wild atmospheric gulls
Wounderous aeronautics

My eyes are shot
Excuse me while
I take them out & put them
In icecold water
To de-burn un-sizzle
I blame my anti #deluxe
Victorian cellar
Too dark for candlelight
My quill does not see
The ink pot well & the
Wailing wall brings no comfort
The dark confuses it

beneath hours
life doesn’t shatter
it erodes
without apology

each day
a brief #sojourn
through what
outlasts living

hence
she scribbles
because silence
is worse

as if language could
delay the fade

each line a spark~
its #undertone
keeping decay
at bay

There were a number of new #deluxe items in the game store that Rory would love to have, but he was running dangerously low on store gems, only twenty-thousand or so, and he didn’t want to buy something, then not have enough gems if something better came along.

His clicking finger itched.

After eventually sobering up Hogan, Dylan managed to get him to understand what was happening and persuade him to start training the idiots, or allies as he had been told to call them.

This wasn’t luxury, #deluxe training. This was painful, exhausting training and Hogan wouldn’t let up.

as the gloaming arrived
we ran laughing
into the autumnal wind
our tawny raincoats spinning
amid apricot swirling leaves
with just the synergy
of our heartbeats
echoing the amber skies
& my only wish
for this weightless freedom
of endless kisses
forever dancing by your side
