Richard Lamoureux Poet Blitz

Time Lost Eyes

Sitting all alone
Sitting pondering time
Time I can't get back
Time travel is impossible
Impossible is but a state of mind
Impossible until it's possible
Possible to rise 
Possible to think
Think beyond here
Think past now
Now is more than now
Now is the intersection
Intersection between yesterday and tomorrow
Intersection of logic and imagination
Imagination lifts
Imagination removes boundaries
Boundaries set in stone
Boundaries impossed by others
Others not worthy
Others to whom we gave our power
Power that was never their's
Power to change
Change is inevitable
Change changes everything
Everything and nothing
Everything is connected
Connected by time
Connected by thought
Thoughts we ponder
Thoughts thought by greater minds
Minds interconnected 
Minds over matter
Matter is not a solid thing
Matter is vibrating energy
Energy is not in short supply
Energy is in all things
Things that seem small
Things thought insignificant
Insignificant until they are not
Insignificant teeters on possible
Possible outcomes
Possible compatibilities
Compatibilities of opposites
Compatibilities not seen with naked eyes
Eyes lost in memories
Eyes blinded
Blinded by sad
Sad
Memories

Funom Makama December 3, 2014 at 10:42 AM Its been a long while my poetry friend. I hope you are doing well. This is a lovely piece and its a blessing to read it. Nice work..

Arthur Vaso November 28, 2014 at 8:11 PM In my humble opinion, you didn't mess up at all, thats the best part, being creative!!!!! Arthur Vaso November 30, 2014 at 11:49 PM Oh Noooo I feel like I have created a monster LOL and my fav number is 68 Richard Lamoureux November 30, 2014 at 4:28 PM Not a matter of creativity but rather a lack of capacity to count past 49, which means I may never get to my favorite number which is 69!

Arthur Vaso November 28, 2014 at 4:02 PM Brilliant, I agree with Justin, and like how this weaves science and logic, with emotion. I did not kn ow this form, very very interesting style. Richard Lamoureux November 28, 2014 at 4:08 PM Thanks, I messed up by one line but otherwise I like the result.

Liam Mcdaid November 28, 2014 at 1:10 PM truly very beautifully crafted richard excellent style you drew this in dear pal Richard Lamoureux November 30, 2014 at 4:29 PM Thanks Liam, with this form you never know where it will take you.

Justin Bordner November 25, 2014 at 9:29 PM I like that you included the staggering truth of subatomic physics in this important poem of imaginative initiative Richard. Your intersection metaphor is very motivating and original. Bringing free forces together to build the unknown is awesome, although there is a price, or sacrafice for using free forces, but so worthwhile. Youre awesome with Blitz poetry...I'm looking forward to doing some Blitz work within the next few years. Xool work! J.A.B. Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2014 at 7:04 AM I think your mind would be well suited to the task. Thanks for this inspirational response.

Timothy Hicks November 25, 2014 at 5:49 PM Wowser, I struck gold with this one. You triumphed with this blitz form, and took me on a roller coaster of profundity and the human mind. Really enjoyed these lines "Insignificant until they are not Insignificant teeters on impossible." Even the most insignificant little fleck of dust, is more complicated than the whole of New York City, during rush hour. And yet those same tiny particles are capable of wiping out millions due to some devastating disease. Faving this one... Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2014 at 7:07 AM I so enjoy your responses and the thought that goes into them. Thanks Timothy.

Charmaine Chircop November 25, 2014 at 9:39 AM Ow gee..its as if you're opening a lock to past memories to linger,present moments to entwine,and future thoughts to remove boundaries..Boundaries from what is yet go discover.Powerful indeed. I must have been an identical twin to you in another life..Cause all these words come rambling on my mind scrutinizing my spirit inside.To my fvs. Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2014 at 7:08 AM Wow, what a moving response. I am touched.

Sara Kendrick November 25, 2014 at 9:13 AM Memories can bring back the hurt like it just happened..Enjoyed reading your work..It is best to travel forward and leave the hurt behind..Sara Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2014 at 7:13 AM Good advice Sara. For me I do my best to stay in the moment, the past has had it's time and the future rarely turns out the way I imagine.

Connie Marcum Wong November 24, 2014 at 3:22 PM Wow Richard, this is quite wonderful! Your flow of thought carefully calculated to give poetry for thought.
