Bora born

Love's stomping ground_

A cityscape by night filled with spider light
of strung out coloured webs mountain views do tell.
A constant companion in endless spin shines
blow back light on fire creatures' steel made mountains
striped with gossamer threads trending ever up.

Millions of camp fires burn along black ribbons
set in bush under celestial star signs.
Five dimensions humans sponsor into their
reality of time, space and patience bear
witness to eternal beauty from above.

Mt Cootha's bush has it's way with you when left
alone by those who've gone before, gifted down.
The cop friendly road loop spins past lookouts with
intimate moonrise park bays of treeless views
facing east, where only lovers need apply.

On top, original circular toilets
cosy up to view inspired new kiosk trends.
Open aired deck people eaters, draw out those
family group space invaders with noisy kids
binocular crazy at two bob a pop.

Youth meanders about the place in female
groups with sparked ones kicking own goals with limp jokes.
End of shift table servers voice up in tone
to where they'd rather be as the clock ticks down
bar one who transcends worlds with light of her own.

The drive home on empty motorways insists
you revisit these feelings' need to repeat.
Those concrete sided slot car tracks through the burbs
at 100 k's an hour in overdrive
flip sides peak hour traffic stuck in daily grinds.

Love you queensland emotes our state's promo song
revived in nights such as these with sensory bling.
Eden's athletes to gather here with intent
complement love's wisdom of truth in goodness
Mother Russia's sword of justice surreal find.
