Gaudily Poems


Premium MemberThe Harvest

Time to harvest the blossom of your dream
have you tenderly coddled yesterday's seed
time is the seductive companion of wisdom
the dream of time is to pick up Godspeed.
You've entered the golden foyer it seems
is the reality of day as plush as the daydream.
its colors maintained, still bright as conception
or dullened like the skin of horizon's deception.

In the serf's vase, a blossom gaudily sits
within an eternity so heartlessly clipped.
Goals only half met pocked with regret
you've come so far-far up from the crag
the crystal of the dream withering to hagfish.
It was all about the gifts of the voyage within 
the dorsal fin currents -a tidepools lone gem.

My Cave

fastened to the ground, with feet and hands tied, the objects i was watching were, not the plain simple silhouetted images, thrown on the partially fallen mud wall, in Plato’s cave but gaudily colorful quickly revolving images on the vast screen

the images, were overwhelming, dazzling, blinding my eyes

the air in a cave should stand still, stuffy and heavy, even merancholic; 
this cave was different, it was filled with inharmonious bursting sounds, 
enough to tear the eardrums to pieces

in the dilemma of the cave, i cannot sit still and listen, or watch 
all these complications, so i broke the chains and rushed out from 
the cave to see the world outside i never saw

lo and behold! everything in nature embraces one another 
it becomes a one huge boundless unit but not a wholeness 
in one accord

all are mingled as one in the darkness of a sunless sky, 
black is the darkness before the sun, before its time to rise  
from the other side of a deeply sunken horizon, 
waiting, though useless, a day calls, a tomorrow yet to come

Avarice Incarnate

The spider 
whose web I've been 
crashing at 
is getting kind of 
sick of me. 
  
I guess it's about 
time I strike 
out on my own, and see 
what I can  
make of myself. 
  
I stepped onto 
the sidewalk, 
and wouldn't you 
know it, there 
she was; 
  
Adorned by fluffy green 
earmuffs 
and gaudily over-sized 
plush boots, 
she was a low-fat 
dessert for the eyes, 
a paradox for the soul's 
deciphering probe to 
jab against. 
  
Perhaps she was 
the very realization 
of my pewter daydreams 
molded by tepid steam 
from makeshift 
ovaries.
