Best Vicarious Poems

Poets dream utopian dreams
Dreams of ideals and perfection
Dreams of places never visited
People never met
Songs never sung
Love stories never written
Passion never experienced
Lives never touched
Hearts never caressed

And so…they dream...
Intensity of emotions
Brilliance of thoughts
Too hard to bear
Too heavy to carry
Inside the soul
Breaking free from within
Bringing exquisite release
From visions...

I live my life vicariously, 
Through everyone else’s eyes.
I live my life through every low 
And every one of the highs.

It began when I was a child, 
I’d live like batman every day.
Pretending I was by his side, 
Cutting and weaving as I play.

My teens,...

Devoid of personal exposure to Spring wonder’s iridescence
I thank God for vicarious experience-fluorescence
Enabling me to testify about Spring’s delightful essence
Through technology with varied media’s presence.

Among the four providentially-created seasons
Spring’s the best, anchored upon scientific reasons:
Moderate temperatures offer freedom from winter-prisons
While granting relaxation against scorching summer-garrisons.

A new landscape presents itself upon waking.
Places that were dreams drift outward.
Past becomes present; stars earth; flight, a grounded stride.

I might assess these thoughts as if I have a choice -
as if I might climb back into slumber; reestablish a cloud,
reshape a fog already escaping.

Thoughts...

Two chairs stare from across the room,
leaning on each other like worn puzzle pieces,

mine, towards the front where I often
perch in anticipation of life, yours,

decidedly towards the right where
you lean in anticipation of me....

shallow veil shrouding

Be a Vicarious Ripple
 
A randomly vicarious ripple of water
Begins to swell into a breaking curl
Of splashing white water making a change
In the docile glassy reflection of the lake
 
As the lifeless water produces a thought
Made by the invisible finger of a water muse
This one...

Vicarious

Self instructed eyes, bend in to see,
The gorged mouths themselves, with the spending.
Words "I'm here to watch your nth" heard,
"Bring my relief exchange my life with ease."

Forth as if I'm at minus, segregated by hearts unfavoringly,
Turn us through chapters, illusion filled critisizingly,
Thickening colors suffocate the...

in high school there was this kid who had some kind of
heart problem,
he had a horrible scar where work had been done at an earlier age &
he had a story to tell if you wanted to hear it---
like so many kids who had more on...

Hewn with story untold
Towering mass cut then rolled
Bared, stripped leaving majestic mold
Surrounded with ringed truths manifold
Cored, its residual value poled
Branchless foil whose tender hath been sold
Slighted twig, limb but unvarnished dome not doled
On its base remaining premium scrolled
Trite, sentimental heirloom pared bold
Statuesque sentinal in sylvan...

Television to get my vision internet to see revision
Radio to set the pace and off to work and run the race

Eat to fast and shave my face didn't even get a taste
Coffee black caffien high kiss the wife a quick...

The images come into view,
        so crisply, sharp displayed;
Soon, but an after-image glow,
        as they begin to fade…

If blue’s the hue, the story ends -

On wings of love vicarious
With raging impetus my devotion soars
In my dreams night after night
Your loving heart I’ve conquered
Opulence surrounds you worthy of a queen
Gardens of magnolia exult your glamour
Jeweled combs adorn your voluptuous raven hair
Your silken skin mine to admire and caress
On a pedestal...

Inexperienced of Fall Season’s delight
my vision through virtual learning venture
beholds God's wondrous artwork at its height
displaying color-changes of nature.

I do see radiant Autumn’s beauty
as glowing leaves of magenta prevail
midst boughs of crimson and scarlet bounty
yield toward pale russet or auburn’s hail.

Witnessing foliage so magnificent
my soul...
