Dance, Curious Joy (Keatles Poem)

Dog’s freckled kiss 
on salted skin, 
tasting only winter 
and drinking sin

silver kings that bound to heaven 

with woven wings of Autumn’s child 
a tired prophet sang of shadows
a tired prophet sang
bleat, honey, mild


wild bees shall murmurs blindly
mother flowers a golden burden
lay down your sapphire soul of dreaming 

lay down your soul of sorrows
lay down
lay down in Sunday’s sun
long visions, love


Blushing lily of winter’s smile 

under Monday’s moon
her harvest’s ghosts
bleat

memories of spring 

breathe, pale child 

breathe in

long love in fading sunshine
where fools lips ring
singing curious joy
and sweetest spirits whisper kindly 

and sparkling faces dance to drum



The lyrics are by myself using a combination of words compiled together from the Beatles and John Keats, using the Botnik predictive keyboard www.botnik.org. 

honesty

There’s honesty in an unmade bed: “She’s got nothing to hide”
