Set of Jewels

By Indi Riverflow | November 3, 2011

Sapphire locket wrapped on a spire
Flames licking out at the edge of fire
Insane indeed, but only north by northwest
It can be predicted but never guessed

She’s a complex girl with a simple rule
Every appendage must be encrusted with jewels
Hair of every color, flesh of every tone
There’s no style she does not make her own

{Chorus}
Julia my love how you hold my gaze
I could stare at your splendors for a thousand days
Never to master your infinite maze
Never fully understanding your ways

Each second with her brings a surprise
As she changes the hue of alien skies
Study her face, tracing what is shown
Right before your eyes another has grown

She treads on a bed of snowflakes
Jet-skis splashing along nebula wakes
Branches splitting off from her shoulders
Trailing planets, pebbles and boulders

Recursively riding on a seahorse tail
Hiding beneath the shell of a snail
Driven by an engine which uses no fuel
Persisting in a state of constant renewal

{Bridge}
Elf in Self
Inside pockets
I sighed I sighed
Massed misty mysteries
Murmuring murmuring
Morphing morphing
More less more less
Meaning meaning
Less more less more
Morphemes morphemes
More wispy memories
Murmuring murmuring
Our ride our ride
Outside sockets
Similar
To Self

What does golden mean to you?
Living geometry always breeds true
The rate at which the Universe grew
The blueprint for order Chaos drew

Models and monuments cast from the die
Spirals and circles ruled by pi and phi
On a mission to eternally reiterate
The pattern she’s bound to replicate

Julia Set
