Films Poems

Poets, Films, Photos, Belongings and Fragrances

What colors, what emotions, what achievements?
The trees wishing the flowers bloomed better 
The flowers clueless about what trees speak of 
The flowers face the sky and only one question to ask
What is love?
If I wish for it and open my arms wide enough for it to fit,
Will you shower them at me and maybe then

French films of your youth

one look full of longing later
in the glow of electric lips
a brush with the unknown...


those were the French films of your youth
your concomitant struggles for love


rambling through the summer heat
gliding in the seaside breeze
down in the deep dead blue


to yearn, to be strangely stranded
among the widowed twin tides
in your sleepy demeanour

 
still craving your only

Premium MemberCowperson versus Jaws

I went to the Hollywood studio meeting
Paul, Steve and Sandy gave me a warm greeting
I was there to advise them, hired from Spain
My motto in business was no pain, no gain
So we sat down to the business at hand
Their movies were sinking, like stones in quicksand.

"How about a cowboy movie," I said...
"Good guys and bad

Books and films

Reading books, watching films,
an endless fascination,
creating anticipation,
with wildfires of imagination.

Judging books, that never works,
with second-hand information,
or based on expectations,
from someone's film adaptation.

Chinese and American Films Compared

China seems to say at all times
Great Movie sprouts from The Cheap Crime’s;
From kicked persons who could kick back; 
From nimble moves that didn’t slack;
A herald of breathless combats
And plain request men turn Tomcats, 
End victory to Innocence, 
Because that’s about what makes sense…

America longs to be god 
By always checking every odd, 
No space

Premium MemberAs In the Films

Amid her degraded,miserable life
in the red light area,
she hummed the songs
of the Hindi films.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror
she dreamt herself as the heroine
of a romantic movie
opposite her favorite star.
Sometimes, she copying the dialogues
and gestures of heroines
from the romantic scenes
of the popular movies.
These filmy,romantic thoughts
often comforted
her youthful life
in the red light district.

Remembering John Wayne

Like my Uncle Kevin 
Born 1907...

But who might we liken
To this Superb Icon, 
In his films large eyeballs rolls?
In minds ever striking
To Today's Actors liking:
Named Robert Morrison,
Its closest: Harrison
Or soldiers' Garrison 
But he went for John Wayne!
Trying to get round same stain?
Well, he just couldn't wane;
Only Cancer's last pain...

The Gernini factor
One makes first rate actors
Jolie,

Christmas Movies

I love to sit in comfort
At home watching TV
I watch my favorite movies
The one's that work for me

It's not a Christmas movie
Just because there's snow
That's something folks at Hallmark
Should be told, so someone knows

To me, A Christmas movie
Has Santa and a gift
It has a Christmas message
It gives people a lift

Getting lost in a big snowstorm
Finding

Short Films

A movie’s like a novel
With a vista to explore
Which, assuming it’s a good one,
Leaves you wanting even more.

Yet I’ve recently discovered
Something else that quite transports – 
It’s a genre that at film fests
Is referred to as “the shorts.”

Several films are shown together
For an hour and a half,
An assemblage that’s so varied
You may cry or scream

Unquotable quotes: Addictions: Smokes, Drugs, Sex, Films and Sleep – XL

Where the hand leads, the eyes close.
When the eyes shut, imagination is on fire.
What you don’t really see is what you feel.
When you feel at ease you fool yourself.
No joy is real until the pain is turned on.
If the pain digs in, illusion becomes reality.

The Message of the Matrix Films

The conception of computer science leads us to believe, 
That the possible digital world inside we should leave;
When augmented with medicine and live, artificial arms, 
The human-robot may raise many loud alarms.

A world of vast computer space with such dangerous functions, 
Ackermann would quake at such duplication gumption;
To be able to copy yourself, to many
