ESSENTIALS visual language   with explicit  traces    of  experience eschews   categorisation    limited only  by number of the little  &   defunct freedoms  of a subliminal  kind so  strangely familiar  something  of an icon in perspective  in manifested  in perhaps unsurprisingly  rare & privileged  light &echoes more focused  with the same passion  & obsession with imitation  with  & imagination  beauty &rhythm confronting experience  with innocence  transcending potential NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Essentials Only
A phantom virus, tentacles open free with perpetual license to kill and kill. Sentenced to death on lonely beds, an imprisoned world standing still. Fearful eyes over mask covered faces plead to get back to the "normal" days. All number graphs on TV news channels are dearest names who've lost their gaze. A wake -up call to sanitize your lives how much is...

Essentials
“ESSENTIALS” Cluttered contents exposed by an open cupboard door Time once again the enemy—staring at the clock on the wall Just two nights— in Paris- ‘luggage’ and ‘baggage’ to be kept small Life becomes weighted with each passing day Reflections on life—real ‘Essentials’ to pack on our way SIMPLICITY—life is far too complicated-- new goals to be reached Striving for social standing,...
