Best Closeup Poems

There it is again,
 that feeling so ingrained
  every time you say my name;
as if time has never existed
 and every meeting we had was twisted
  by destiny preordained;
with every first breath taken
  as if we just met, reawakened.

A depth of memory...

The past comes in a dream,
pain I've worked so hard to forget;
holding back sadness and regret.
I see the place where I grew up,
and all the graves closeup;
and my house by a stream.
In my lone bed weeping,
listening to a train whistle;
the need to leave...

The Army was getting desperate in nineteen-forty-three,
For warm bodies to fill vacancies in the good old infantry.
Alas, the draft board beckoned causing his heart to sink.
Thus, began the notorious career of Private Roscoe D. Schlink!

He was a naive country boy from Bean Blossom, Indiana.
They sent...

Exuberant Light

Selfless rays spring from tonal anagrams 
Crystal daybreaks that never know twilight
Released from the pure rhapsody “I Am”
Innocent of intention, free of night,
Nascent from infinity’s essence – light -
Unselfish benediction leaping up		
Vitality born in perfection’s cup
Pure spirit, benevolent chivalry,
Enduring present animas closeup,
Crucible, animation’s ministry.

Breathless,...

I was shaken from my bed,                                       ...

Somethings are meant to break
Some relationships are meant to fall apart
Turn to dust

This is a lost cause
You passed the line,
The one I call "the limit"

I want to walk away
But I have to see your face all day
It's not that I couldn't make it on my...

so much precious existence 
found me rooted with mouth ajar 
as sigh asper the dentin-cementum 
so mud dear reader (with dem perfect 
enameled pearly whites), aye har bar 
envy for those with a complete set 

of eight incisors, four cuspids (i.e. canines), 
eight bicuspids, and...

Daily morning birds chirp to wake me up
Sometimes they form a singing group.
Through the sylvan windows with teacup,
I enjoy the early morning tranquility to warm up.
Some mysterious noise from the setup
I made for the baby squirrel, which was grownup.
Oh!I forgot it and started posting poems...

wondrous stuff is happening
awash within a silent bay 
a cell appears, divides 
and life reflected in its mother home,
a tender hydra will eschew its rest
and for a moment
infant man will stand in awe
a billion years beyond

how many oceans, galaxies away
would/could replicate
or yet enhance the theme?
what...

That About A Face

Previously responsible concerning an adolescent resplendent facial hallmark,
Awarded to privileges and sanctioned embellishment favoring enhancement,
Over time, years chip away unnoticeably o'er worn breathless moments,

Taunt texture of an arduous youth evaporates in a whimsical hallucination,
Face delicately immersed in a penny-filled wishing well made...

CLICK…
Turn on Channel four,
Sultry starlets on the screen
For lasting beauty- use Maybelline
For winning smiles-try new Dentyne.
Turn the dial once more…
Aging actors on the screen
“You have our lifetime guarantee.”
“So, call right now, the call is free.”
Forget about ratings, the real Nielsen scheme-
They sell us to death...

I want to kiss your pretty face
Around the world in every place
Where romance lives and shines so bright
Where every day is only night

Where we could simply ride around
In horse drawn carriage, sit spellbound 
Through central parks and squares lit up
I'd look into your eyes closeup

And...

media quotes some sources
"a major blow" is said,
and on, and on, they go
high-flying low-res video
of many, many miles below
pressin' technology's clout
to takin' part in takin' out

stamping listed targets
one, to number none gets
to meet oblivion's keeper
Hellfire missiles deemed cheaper
than puttin' brave boys
out where explosive noise is

Her boobies hung outside the white lace cup.
Blending pineapple and whisky closeup.
Blender was not fully closed,
Everything inside exposed.
Woohoo, smoothie boobs to sit down to sup....
