FAIRY FLOSS
Right beside the tent
Where the eight foot man
And the dancing elephant
And the trapeze girl flying,
Doing her death-defying tricks,
Sat the royal-blue booth
Dotted with pink crystal-clear
Winged creatures so small you'd
Miss them except your nose
Reeled toward their fairy scent,
Undetectable to conscious mind.
There flying around in tin,
You see three fairies holding
Sticks chest high, they spin and spin
Making your eyes water,
Dragging your tongue out,
Starting your fingers reaching
For a thousands thin strands
Of cooling-liquid sugar that
Truly melts in your mouth
And not on your thumbs.

THE BEGINNING ANGEL
© Cupideros, May 13, 2010
(Poems from my online novel Passion for Tinon)
In the beginning was no beginning
The Abyss simply consisted,
Persisted and was assisted
By SRFG who assigned
Various angels a variety of fun tasks.
Within her corridor of spirit de corps,
Time along with her sisters five—the Beginning
Angel starts all things in the light.
The Beginning Angels grows the mountains.
She places the first drop in the dry bed sea.
She gives her power to the tiny mustard seed.
She knows the power of place and time
For nothing can begin without theses.
She blows her golden trumpet,
Her dog barks and all proceeds.
Every invention or idea blows its knees.
If Beginning Angel doesn’t give her blessing,
The exercise, no matter how hard and well-planned,
Will never bear fruit in the light of day
Or feel the heat of the burning suns.
Farmers, artisan, the poor, even merchants,
And of course this also applies to knights,
All surly cannot begin without my incite.
No marriage or partnership starts
Unless, I blow my trumpet and my dog barks.
There is a time when the tide is in;
And a time when the tide is out.
It’s not so easy to begin;
So savor the onset moment—shout.
And hope my five divine sisters assist.
Those who refuse to sit in silence
Start at the end of every task.
It is unfortunate to ignore
The beginning that was no beginning—
For by Abyssarian Abyss power
We five divine sisters complete our work.
THE FINISHING ANGEL
© Cupideros, May 13, 2010
Know when to stop when things are done!
Know when the fruit is sweet and ripe.
Know when the couple ties the knot.
Know when the gap is all filled.
Know when not to quit and concede!
Know when the bread is high enough.
Know when the baby is happy full.
Know when the time is to the brim.
Know when the outfit is complete.
Know when to keep on pressing on!
Know when the thunder follows lightning.
Know when you each enlightenment.
Know when the depths have been plundered.
Know when you’re sitting silent.
Know when the wind stops blowing swift.
Know when the joys reach their climax.
Know when the SRFG is quiet and pleased.
Know when the SRMG agreed, blessed you.
How can you know how to finish
Things if you never ever notice
When all acts stop and come to end?
The sisters five last angel decides
The ending of actions here.
She impresses on us circumstances
Just around the corner of chance.
You are the Captain of your soul,
But only if you master your goals.
