Once upon a time

.

Once upon a time

I was born in a moment

It was my land

Traitors

friends and brothers

.

You're beautiful, Venus

The giant

It was my land

The fairytale

The pains of Mary

.

That’s fabulous and leaves me wondering. I want to know more about the pains of Mary. There’s a backstory poem in there too.🫶🏻

X is for the ecstasy of XTC

Ballet for a rainy day

.

Chalk hills and children

Complicated games

~

Cynical days

Hang on to the night

~

Then she appeared

Burning with optimism’s flame

~

Crowded room

No language in our lungs

~

I am the audience

Stupidly happy

~

Radios in motion

Are you receiving me?

~

Senses working overtime

We’re all light

~

All of a sudden it’s too late

Blame the weather

~

I sit in the snow

Looking for footprints

~

Me and the wind

In another life

~

Little lighthouse

Pale and precious

~

Vanishing girl

You and the clouds will still be beautiful

Fantastic, I also went with XTC (being that there isn't a lot of choice with X!) but took a different direction. I love what you did!

Another XTC poem (how many variations of their song titles can we get?!)

XTC

.

Complicated game

Making plans for Nigel

The man who sailed around his soul

Senses working overtime

Ten feet tall

Stupidly happy

Then she appeared

Ball and chain

Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her

Dear God

All of a sudden its too late

This is a very tricky letter, for sure. But here's an x-tremely quick one, for X Day. Haha...

CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FRIENDS,

JOYFUL, HAPPY PEOPLE,

SHINING... 😎
