Implicit Poems

No exit allows egress

...No exit allows egress...

forever dooming how the missus and I relate

Echoes of Silent Waves

...
Written May 30th for Contest by  Craig Cornish

            *****************

Silence slowly dims into space,
heaves gently over words and lines

Ambrosial Afterglow

...T i m e ~ you are the spark
  that tips the scales 
             of lovestruck heartbeats,
  ricocheting glyphs of fairness,
             etched with gold and silver.
Yet seasons of smoke fail t...

Faith

...
We follow that which we do not know
is rationally plausible
or analytically
verifiably true
For the dutiful
dare we call it
implicit
ardent
faith

Colonisation

...Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,
carousel of trend and sound adherence  merely looming?
some unwitting sentiment  an aspirational d...

INSPIRATION

...INSPIRATION

I have often thought about inspiration
Process as well as the original stimulus
Is it the sudden image or thought itself
Or what might have first triggered that

Shikata Ga Nai

...

Pervasive personal questions people ask,
shredding to shards what truly is me.
The pieces are of no use to them though,
the effort seems at times 
to stem from veiled spite,

punked

...We’re on October break, which is a 6-day weekend. For the last two weeks, everyone’s been making plans.
“What do you think of Cancún?” Sunny’d asked me.
“The only people going to Mexico are on the ...

KNOW AND MOVE

...Each one
an event in oneself
part of the whole:
we live in the world

Musical IQ

...Sometimes
they reason
sometimes
they don’t

The meaning
implicit

Halloween

...


Pumpkins carved and treat’s prepared

With costumes risky as we dared

Ghostly white sheets, hats and bats

Those scary witches with their cats


Apple bobbing is a fun autumn game

Unconscious Bias

...What a cop out, for one 
who always sleeps on their right side
To admit to ignoring the context,
the background and milieu, 
which colors your decisions and choices,
and side you lean towards.

Tomorrow's Petty Pace

...Have you given yourself a vow
Not to come for the video chat
Or does it happen undertow 
Like implicit “don’t do that”?
And of course you are aware
Of my waiting – if you call
It will show that...

The Heavens

...Carved arches of rainbows competed with the sunbeam clouds.
Stairs from the seen scenes to the unseen secrets sped in shrouds.
Galaxies and constellations like lightning bolts shined and shunned.
