BUTTERFLY MAGIC


​ ~BUTTERFLY MAGIC~ (please go to my site&click on video) Delicate wings aflutter Their brilliant colors Eminate through out The lush green forest As I walk along the path They follow Me in pairs Sometimes stopping to rest Upon the array of flowers Then taking flight again Their wings move in rhythm To a Silent Song of Butterfly Magic 7/10/2026 preciouspoetess (all Rights Reserved)

Great is the LORD


One generation shall commend,
Of Your works one to another;
Declare Your mighty acts offend,
To another who’s a brother.

I speak of glorious splendor,
Of the majestic works You make;
Created lovingly tender,
I continue to meditate.

I shall speak the might of Your deeds,
And will declare Your vastness;
Catering to Creations’ needs,
With loving care and steadfastness.

I will pour forth utter the fame,
About Your abundant goodness;
I will continue to proclaim,
Sing aloud of Your righteousness.

My Demented Love


In a minds eye
Staring at the waves
To take me away
From this melancholy
Unable to avoid seeing
My head on the chopping block.

I was driven
By desires
That couldn't be satisfied
While suggesting treaties
To banish our suffering
And bring about a state
Of unity.

But the higher court
Refused to ratify
The measure
But as you leave
Wiping your brow
Heaving a long sigh
I'm keeling over
In dramatic tones
A famished heart
For giving too much
To you
And not leaving
A crumb for myself.

For my demented love
You couldn't relate to
Nor had the patience
To wait
Until it materialized.

My spirit flagging
Not like an eagle
Soaring through
The clearest skies
Above you.

Despite the cost
And the eternal darkness
Slowly killing me
Like a plague
Couldn't pull the trigger
I may be devastated
But ain't suicidal.

No one worth
Such a selfish act
Just assumed that
Someone out there
To would welcome me
With open arms
That's what the tarot reader
Envisioned in the cards.

Whether a comeback
Comes to fruition
Or remain a rebellious student
To the intoxicating
But empty illusion
That you can make me whole.

Have to move
Cause I'm persona non grata
Back where the
Sun shines eternally
But hides a dark secret
To terrifying to uncover
Where internal beauty
Is forbidden
To be intimate?

Once healed
Maybe when we
Let time
Take the lead
I'll let you know
Why the levee broke
While gently probing
For your secret
To be revealed
That kept me
In a state of suspense
Always on the periphery
But never entrenched
In your presence.

P 11 6 25

The Scum Rising...


Scum rises to the top

While the just

Fighting for breath

Still under

The belief

Respect earned

Not given freely

But the sea once pure

Now bloodied

By needless examples

Of hearts sawed in two.

Fools

Believing they were wise

Becoming the imperialists sacrifice

While perpetual nerds

Infested with artificial intelligence

Are living it up

On your dime

With no iota

There's suffering outside

A bubble

The curse of envy?

Or justified criticism?

Life inherently cheap

Built up into some grand scheme

That's gonna save humanity

Such hype

And deceit

And all these possessions

Proves

Nothing but old fashioned greed

And an arrogance

Protruding from their thick skulls

That their companion

For the evening

Returned incessant calls

For their dynamic personality

Of such depth and wonder

Not the size of their wallets.

But I'm warned

With a pistol

Gently nudged into my side

That honesty

Is a ride

To a sanitarium

Or a fall

Into a grave.

So I should stay mute

And be grateful

I'm still able

To see the dawn

And appreciate

There are still distractions

To keep me shielded

From the truth

That I'm just a puppet

On a string

With a blessing

To indulge in the

Dope of the masses

Cause a mind

Is a beautiful thing to waste.

You gotta cut corners

Cheat with a smile

Flashing

Glorious white teeth

With a heart

Of a cold blooded assassin

That knows where

All the bodies are buried.

So continue querying

For the answer

As to the meaning of life

While we continue

To inflict the disease

Of immortality on the

Sheep of this once great nation.

I'll remind you

Of the decaying flesh

At the bottom of the sea

Where noble intentions

Became sullied dreams.

There's no such thing

As an utopia

Just our nightmare

Of toxic ingenuity

That we plan on furthering

Until the skies darken

And the air inhabitable

Hasn't freedom always

Been subjective?

P 12 21 25

Shooting Turkeys


I´m an unrepentant Socialist
I follow the creed
From each according to his ability
To each according to his need.
Most of my life I´ve been governed
By an elitist aristocratic class
Heads firmly up in the air
Accents like cut glass.
Then recently came a variation
Of their Management story
Leadership seemed to pass
To a Middle class type of Tory
Who cracked the whip
To prove their worth
To those aristocratic
Lords Of this Earth
Who maybe would overlook
Their less elevated start
If they more than
Played their part
Coming down hard
On the working masses
While looking up
To the better classes
working hard
to ingratiate
Channelling more
To their rich mates
The most incredible part
Of this story
At the next election
The majority Voted Tory
Throwing hard earned
Workers´ Rights away.
The turkeys went and voted
For an extended Christmas Day
