Aqua Over world.
Aqua Over world
I saw aqua in a dream
September tenth is when it came to me
Orange Birds could fly
And I asked if they could be me for a day
They flew on
The Edelmees chased me. Talked to me with
High voices that caught the light in hum tight letters
The ocean was clear on Sundays
So the people took swims on that day
Baptizing under the sun
The ocean was red on Fridays
No one knew why, so all stayed away
Love has a colour--Powder Dew
Summer mornings brought this upon all who knew
The earth was the blackest thing and
The greenest green grew from the roots
Purple is the colour of a flower--
The Candy Popper Pan
It was sweet smelling
It grew big and wide
Each side of the 16 petals curled up
The aqua is all over
It is where I wish to be
The sky never ended
When my eyes leaped
The paths walked were lined with clear stones--
Stager Roof Bottoms
They were taken from the sea
So all could see
Fierce beauty, lumping purity
It is said when you speak Singer Roof Bottoms
Take each voice and make it a melody
That travels round and round the sea
The Orange Birds carried gold dust at sunset and
Dropped it on the sea
So gold waves roared toward us
This phenomenon was called
Breathing Crystal Wings
And I wanted to fly again
The longevity of this dream
Is far to short for me
Captured between paranoia
And wistful dreams of the Over world
All I know is I saw aqua in a dream
Brazen reality
That is now a separate entity
The craving for Candy Popper Pan
Is what sustains me
The Edelmees chase after me
Calling me back with their high--scattered voices
Chasing, chasing my vanishing back
The aqua is all over
The endless sky trapped in Over- world
Words that carry weight in colour
And melodies that pop up from grass roots
Aqua Over-world where are you?
It was great, grand!
The Edelmees chase my back
To stop
To return once again
The ever, ever--Aqua Over-world
