In This Calculus

In this calculus royal floral beauties newly housed in the silence of my mind's dark garden bloom,
In this calculus rare ancient beauties, blue flowery gifts, stemmed, under an emboldened sun acquiesce,
In this calculus atop an ancient shelf I pluck my parchment leafs and bathe in the warm fire of my room,
In this calculus I sit and write, and reminisce, in the soft feather of gentle words I feel cause to address,

Fortuitous concatenation this, the sweet and untold, the angels of pleasure gathered above my chair,
Beckoning down at me like white doves from the unworldly above, waiving, gentle, still and glowing, and silent,
And I cannot presuppose what it is among them - is their calculus meant to ease me from my despair,
But as with my ancient babies, my royal floral beauties, they bloom for me in a world singularly less violent.

Forever I resemble the slothful servant in the parade of the parable - acquiesced,
Left to the quest - like all the rest.

Very nice Tom

That was a nice read.

Big Joe ( thebricky ), red_lace,

Thank ye both for taking your very important time out to peruse this slender piece. I had fun with it. Ye both do know it's fun to frolic and bath oneself in loose wordplay, like some young child with friends playing in a mud puddle. I slosh the puddle with me hands and bring up all the sludge from beneath. And in doing so, I find stability and the english language. All meant to provide me with difference and a cool splash. All meant to stem - verse.

Be well, both, and thank ye.
