Best Perceptions Poems

I live on a plane
higher than your perceptions
you can't define me

my heart is my home
those who are sincere enter
not all are welcome

I hurt and I bleed
yet I'm indomitable
you can't destroy me

veiled in mystery
secure from all prying eyes
I disrobe for love

I am a flower that blooms in spring.
I am the crown of a queen or king.
I am a butterfly, spreading its wings.
I am an aspect of all of these things.
I am dark blood on the virgin snow.
I am that soup-stain that just won’t go.
I am...

As you peer at self reflection

Be mindful of misconception

Consider others’ perception

To guide in the right direction

Are you as you appear

This requires much introspection

To see your portrait clear

Today, I'm lost for words,
something seems so absurd.
Ignorant perceptions,
lead to blind deceptions.

My mind begins to rot,
being judged for that i'm not.
I curse those erratic eyes,
full of superficial cries.

In your selfish desire,
you wanna set me on fire,
wrap my neck in barb wire,
then you think I'm a...

I saw the rage in his gaze, 
His seductive art
I felt his digitus medius, longing to write his name inside my ****.
He charged up as usual
Still looking little unsettled with a sudden crash of energy,
I wanted to escape the situation, but his grip was tight...

blue planet water
blue sky just scattered sunbeams
dusk's red, unbent light

Poet's Notes: 
Isn't it great? Three wonders of nature explained in 17 words. It is so much fun 
sharing my love of Physics with others. Lay people in general have no idea the 
treasure...

immoral north winds 
locking jaws on shriveled souls-
sun starved perdition 

becharmed arctic breeze
winter’s kiss exalting hearts-
moon drenched nirvana...

Spectacles of perceptions.  
Yes, exactly in fact. 
I'm quite  skeptical.
Even if there exist recollections, seems 
As if  there were a mirage you see in an oasis.

But a mirage is NOTHING but an HALLUCINATION
IN THE SANDS. 
YOU SEE life  here does EXIST...

As misty glows engulf the evening sky
An awkward silence takes flight 
From those fleeting moments of joy
You see tricks that deceive, tricks of sleight

The lights are bright and they're screaming aloud
Forget your thoughts, they can wait it out
Pieces of the jigsaw that won't fit
That's the...

We all only see
What we choose to see
Insecurity
Dumb morality
Numb pathology

Devil inside
Entrust or die
Conquer divide
What truths they hide

Death at door
For now or
Forever

I splice
Sever

Purge.

Perceptions
What will the story be ?

Into the mysteries of the observing mind
one has to ponder, wonder just what kind
of tales, stories, beliefs will we see unfold
as the projections, the perceptions are told.

Will they be of nights, Knights on great white steeds ?
- of selfless acts,...

Perceptions – from eyes of fools

Perception is usually a matter of projection.
Perception usually dictates what become the rules.
Genius - lost in insanity – self, it calls.
Talent hangs on walls,
in the air of music halls,
upon the platform of a stage.
Artists play out images, in a rage.
Talent...

our mental simulator is the incubator 
     of our physical illustration
          our mental perceptions of how events

I was a learned college professor, who was forever eager to know more,
As blue-gray waves, finding sandy beaches, turn to seek another shore.

I drove to work smiling, in those tangerine days, so glad for avid youths,
Like when dusky stars waltz out dreamy, winking to show...
