Best In Camera Poems


I Live For Her

Cinnamon and apple fill the air 

Scent of Gram's famous pie

Warm fire roaring in the hall

Music turned up for all to hear

"Vivo per lei da quando sai
 La prima volta l’ho incontrata,
 Non mi ricordo come ma
 Mi è entrata dentro e c’è restata.
 Vivo per lei perché mi fa
 Vibrare forte l’anima,
 Vivo per lei e non è un peso.

Vivo per lei anch’io lo sai
 E tu non esserne geloso,
 Lei è di tutti quelli che
 Hanno un bisogno sempre acceso,
 Come uno stereo in camera,
 Di chi è da solo e adesso sa,
 Che è unico per lui, per questo
 Io vivo per lei....."

Thoughts of you ring in my mind

Playing the music in my soul

A burning desire

Making my heart beat strong


Vivo per lei

I live for her


My warmth, my breath, my soul

Taking my lonely

Making it whole

My heartbeat, my strength, my home

From the depths of my heart

to your soul

My vision, my meaning, my know


Even though far, we really are near

Oceans apart but I feel your touch

Sweet music is all that I hear

Whispering I love you so much

New York

NEW YORK                            
Scene One, let’s shoot act one, action now.
I dream of everlasting diamond lights, in camera action now.
In the land of ‘New York, sky building light city.
To catch a self discovery, subway underground railway train. 
Down one ‘Manhattan line, pass way.
To try and live, in a night life city.
That never sleeps, in any shape or light formation.
I am the twenty four hour, night watch light.
Someone calls out loud, for me now.
Down a green path, of ‘Central Park.
I see the majestic ‘Plaza hotel.
That is in the grand, upper way class, of life living.
Inside one posh, sort of a way.
I love ‘Chicago, within the business life.
‘New York, New York, I just want to sit down.
In a resting place, of one magnificent, play like sketch.
Come on, I am living in the vast magical city, called ‘New York.
I have arrived, in the ‘United States nation.
Entering the experience, of my ‘New York, grand stand, NBA basketball life.
What a town, I can’t believe.
The ‘New York lifestyle, is now bedded inside my whole mind, of thinking.
It’s a draw card, ‘American great life for many.
I don’t want to only, fail now.
Let me see, my connected light.
Of a ‘New York, living fantastic way.
Deep within one large, hot soup pot.
Of sheer beauty, ‘New York living.
So can I be famous, in the heart, of this New York race.
Cultured variety growing, fast moving place.
My ‘New York gift, has one open bright space.
A shinning light, of wonder and might.
Inside this wonderful, ‘New York colored town.
Of my own private, Time Square downtown, magic night.
So I live, for one crazy wild, New York chase.
NBC Today, lined up, in the film star panel.
At Rockefeller plaza, in morning daylight.
New York is a state, made of dream like wealth.
I am the winged ‘New York angel, calling out.
Dressed in one pure light, of the color white. 
I am living, for the vast, time moment space.
Of my ‘New York, memory life.
The secret is now, breaking right out.

Idle No More

Oil train sits in Lac Megantic 
Town folk sleep not so frantic 
Patrons socialize while they slept 
Unannounced the train it crept 

No such thing a train in idle 
This one proved homicidal 
Train engine fire silent alarm 
Town unaware no fear of harm 

First responders do arrive 
Count all engines numbered five 
Connected cars are seventy two 
Full of crude what would you do 

Disconnect these things on fire 
Bigger problem no desire 
Cut the risk to light the crude 
This decision would be shrewd 

Seventy two cars, assumed on brake 
Town folk safe that slept on lake 
Take in account train on slope 
Some brakes off more danger the scope 

Idle train crept no more 
Picking up speed problem galore 
This idle train left to chance 
Never checked not even a glance 

Explosion awakes town folk in slumber 
Instantly town folk less fifty in number 
People running saving some lives 
Survivors to hear fifty bell chimes 

Responsibility left to whom 
This decision in the courtroom 
On a slope a running car park 
Driver responsible ticket don't bark 

MMA you will be slandered 
Go to hell with your train standard 
You brought a man carrying sickle 
In Quebec you control your vehicle 

If you don't the charge is life 
Stand in camera and take it in strife 
Angry people you will see 
Many more including me.
 
Left to idle a runaway 
Change the law starting today 
Always manned train must be 
Someone in place we must see 

Looking back cutting the cost 
Was it worth all lives lost? 
One more man not a big chore 
Let these trains Idle no more


Woman's Look

Saudi Arabia & Michelle’s Look

“No women are left behind with justice!”
-H. Smirch


Her scorching look,
A mouth-shut grin, with defensively flowery dress,
Michelle’s falsetto indignation
Makes all of us feeling so damned good;
There was no fume,
Not a growled kiss, just that road of a free WOMAN
Into this spitefully state where
Women, oh lovely ones! They are just a piece of death.

No murmured birds are allowed, she appears to grow, husky wind,
This beautiful First African Woman has challenged that entire dare 
To speak the true of being a free!

I loved her caustic face, full with grace, rising, beyond
The star, her confident posture next to the men;
Confident, contradictory, vociferous photos
To the entire world to see: This is a woman, black and free:
To look — in short, totally Michelle’s soul,
A message, and relevant to these pretty princesses
It is time to open doors and get down to the 20th century!

O, woman!
Appeal in heaven, Eve, God, they are no  a piece of meat
With luxury factory in frenzy; they are women in choices and desires;
O, woman!
Worldly woman, to the women, my women, rising
Throw up hands in disgusted resignation against
The Saudi’s mess! Your men should be together with you or otherwise,
Let us break chains and veils and let us rise! 

And why not, smile with Michelle’s look seriously
In camera, or rather in the middle of the desert,
With that love in contempt and ready to yell 
I cannot take it anymore!

I Never Eat What Has a Face

True earth 
crowded with the familiar facial form:
chalked on concrete
crayoned by children, 
squirted on birthday cakes, 
in camera with teeth all whitened, 
portraited, imitated, formulated. 

We don't wake up 
until we see it. 
We plaster it on 
birds or cats or pigs. 
We laugh and laugh. 
How much these creatures 
imitate. want to be us, 
replace us, take part with us.

We don't honor the fishes, 
except maybe the friendliest kind. 
Resent the arthropod,  lobster, 
spider, insect 
that appear to spite us.

Invisble Eye.

The robber breaks in
 unseen eyes scan, blink and flash
Nabbed in camera.


Catch As Catch Can

Fat balls
white stitches curve a fast sun
      SLAM      arcs to anxious
brown leather skins.

                         Batter up!
     
Sheepskin rolls
come to age in camera points
      POP      flashes to jubilant
boyish grins.    Next up!

Fat rolls
duffles pitch in pointed darkness
      BANG       target anxious
leather skins.

                       Soldier up!

Sadly, Shutter Speed

When I was new in photography,
I was hoping an adventure;
But by the end of the day
Just a lecture.

Then they picked up camera,
Aimed at a deer.
It captured even food stuck in its teeth.
They smiled and said,
“What slowed down the dear,
Is shutter speed.”

At home, In front of TV,
I was just lying.
It cried, “Tonight,
Meteors will be falling.”

At night, It struck,
I picked camera
And then woke up.

Waited whole night
And got a line,
Captured in camera.
Next day, at nine,
I presented picture.
They looked with no heed,
They smiled and said,
“All black, sadly, Shutter speed.”

Let's , Climb

Let’s climb the mountain top,
count stars with the passing night,
chat until our throat hurts,
laying down all fear,
with naked soul.
Gaze into my eyes
show me your thoughts.
Take me to sunrise
and  l'll brew coffee,
capture our togetherness in camera to visit time after time
Make art from mere words.
Lets share our passions to burn together.

Cameras

Single eyed the cameras,
Talk on click,
Smile on flash,
Save in memory like people,
Speak the truth,
Trusted witnesses,
In camera like their names!

Share It Is What Charity

Charity is share it,to be in camera no flash nor picture!

Obscura

through the lens darkly piercing the vail starkly 
past the thin veneer of the world into the next, past 

the bones of this incarnation and gravitations greed
through the lens of the past, reflexing into the future 

of a world never known or understood, a thin film on paper 
the chemistry of magic steals the essence of life

the taker of souls, the reaper of the unknown
that dwells in this little black box 

divided nine by nine inches in wind-carved stone, nails did shone
all distilled to a flat land of infinite horizons in black and white 

a realm reflected of our own, a dimension of light and no sound 
forever frozen in the images of an imagination transfixed by the wrath 

of shadow and the burning divinity of light in camera obscura 
the details of god and creation, n legions of neither realms 

forever emblazoned upon is an object of de art 
packed away in this little black box

Debt Is a Theft

Debt,born to the debtor and the creditor,
It's a test of intelligence-
Bridges the banks of income and outgoing,
The debts happen in air,
But the theft in camera,
Disowning the owning happens in air and camera,
Debts,debts and debts! in this planet of chocolates!
To deal in debt,networks work in uniforms,
Theft also a network working in many forms,
The rules governing debts count Seven,
It rules the in-debtor comes number one,
Debt is a net,
All, not know the net not know the way out,
In debt default is an act of violence,
It's not because the letter "B" going silence,
In the books of bad debts,no one is in the good books,
Debts become bad debts because the debt is bad,
Debts create more debts,a study in commerce,
Debts put in more debts is the subject of the universe,

Go rich but debt free!
