Lingering Dreams

Staring into the

Melting poison apple sun

A creation of the heart's 

Inclination t or n ap a rt

｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡

A gift for the Thunder queen

Presiding in an icily anointed palace 

Descending daily to greet me from 

Clouds dripping with heaps of

Whipped dreamy cream

Piled to a soaring height, down

Baked into the hand-rolled

Vanilla breakfast sky

I rule in her stead

Over the garden of indecision

Snip | ping wretched thorns

From hungry creeping rose buds

Daisies throng and fall before me

Carelessly tossing suckling petals 

Frozen tears to skin adhere 

Coated in a dusting of golden pollen

𓇢𓇢𓆸 🫧⋆｡˚

Melting blue mountain berries 

Portals to pools forming 

In my rotating Laser-Disc eyes

Softening in the heat of the 

Sunflower blaze

Flames

Each grain of 

Chrysanthemum-scented wheat

Sunburned to a high gloss shine

Waiting in the wings, toasty and sweet

R_ i _i _g down in a shower

Of maple screams

Drizzling down on me, Puddling

Soaking slowly into the granola sands

Viscous and sweet 

Slipping through the gaps

Gusts of wisdom from above

Making the palm fronds

Gush and spring ungloved

Fending off giant dandelion fuzz

Launching from the pendulum

Landing amongst the swampy reeds

Shimmying up the cat's 

Stress frayed tail

Riding all the way on 

My ninth pass-through 

Reality's open gates

༄.° 𓇢𓆸

Screaming for a pea-sized taste of the 

Stack of Fluffy flapjacks and 

Apple American pie 

Glazed in jealousy, dyed scarlet

A staircase to the icy palace in the sky

To report the day's bouquet

Painting roses with my lies
