he had put it away
years ago
back when rock
had lost its roll
and doo wops died
with every corner
recital
but tonight
he plays the old
saxophone
in memory of those
'nights in white satin'
and all the dreams
that came home
to play

RIP Mike Pinder (Moody Blues)

Oh yes, the ronin said. There is wonder in this world. No money in poetry, but the moon is a silver coin.

Gray
wind whipped appendages
a small ask
from the storms
of perpetration
Bow dips
slowly beneath waves
Chains snapping
timbers groan
Coins spilling
Pirates moan

Even A Genius

even a genius
is prone to mistake
the surest thing
they know

if only You
could've understood
never would
You let me go

In the spaces between seasons
Profound
Deep

I seed
Slivers of past and present

The firmament smiles in gold
Tangible like a #coin

There’re biographies reflecting clouds
History hangs on its edges

#vss365

We weathered everything
soul to soul, bound
and any time I got lost
you'd remind me I was found
I was planning a future filled with answers
never thought I'd have to walk alone
But life has a funny way of changing
what I had thought to be my forever
was never meant to stay

WISHING WELL

Whisper of silver
a coin from hopeful fingers
soft splash
a wish

Down
down
deep
where the water dreams

#vss365 prompt #coin

Legs turn to treacle
Trying to escape the active shooter
Waiting for the bang-bang
There never came the bang-bang,
With the flip of a #coin
Fate changed the rules of the game
But in my heart and in my mind
My life will never be the same.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A coin with the head of an unknown monarch etched into the metal.
The tall one bellowed,'Toss the #coin , dear!'
Thinking of dirt, she tossed the coin.
'Heads it is!'
The Emperor squawked, & the tall one boomed,'Bind him! The coin tells no lies!'
The Emperor's head rolled.

#Coins of glowing green danced on the tide as it entered the cave &lit the chamber. It made me nervous,but the rabbits didn't flinch.
'It's not Andromedans,'Rowan whispered.'It's the stewards.'
As the glowing tide came closer,I could see the creatures clearly. Jellyfish!

Do I turn
Right or
Turn left?
Flip a #coin
Will I soar
Or will I
Plummet?
Flip a coin
Do I party
Or do I go
Home?
Flip a coin
Heads or
Tails
The coin
Falls
Is it the right
Option or
Will I be
Mourning in
The morning?
Flip a coin

with this ring
I promise you
I will erase the shadows of the slave trade
locked in the heat of samba in the nights of carnival
coins put on the eyes of dead at funerals
-forgotten tickets of the unforgotten underworld- will shine like stars
with stolen leaves from…

Tarrenbar slammed his first on the bar.
'The night's on me!'
He threw a sack of rubies to the bartender
'His majesty pays well. Barkeep, late the ale flow like bathwater!'
Cheers engulfed the inn. Tarrenbar laughed.
'I've always wanted to #coin a new phrase.'

“Cool sword. I can give you a couple of cookies for it.”

“Pay me in #coin .”

“You can’t eat gold.”

“I have. It tastes like success.”

“And cookies taste like failure?”

“Exactly.”

The love you give me
paints days in pastel strokes
the right words I try to convey
somehow get stuck in my throat
I have someone to rely on
even though we sometimes fight
I can be stupid on my own
our opposing energies reunite
today, I find myself beside you

There is within the human heart an intelligence which has been known to surpass that attributed to the human mind.
