Impressions Poems

Beyond First Impressions

They label me "weird," they whisper "psycho,
They run and hide, a fearful, hushed acclaim.
Then drawn by something they can't quite define,
They creep back slowly, in a hesitant line.

They sit with me, a cautious, gentle start,
And piece by piece, I take their world apart.
The mask dissolves, the image starts to fade,
The monster they imagined, no longer

IMPRESSIONS

Vacation

Superficial impressions, like the sunset ripple
Museums, beaches, cafes by the score 
The phrasebook conversations with the service people
Cliches in their predictable galore  
You’re saved from depth and filled with little pleasures
The charms of tourism, early breakfasts, late night bed 
You travel light or loaded, spot some treasures
And file them in the archive, to forget.

Impressions

Impressions

Appear as forms

And formulations

Which may seem

To shape that which

Cannot be shaped..

Impressions arise

Apparently..along

With the thought

Of the shaping...

Autumnal impressions

After flaunting her  wares and dazzling our eyes
Her energy ebbing ,motivation low
It should come to us as no surprise
That her  colours fade to no linger glow

 She does now sedately and sombrely dress
 Though it still being in her nature to tease 
With the whispering wind she conspires to impress
Her onlookers as she

over and over 
watercresses old rock

Impressions

First impressions are a clue to character

mundane

rising from bed in the morning
seeking shelter when it's storming
idly whiling stray hours away
dreaming there will be better days
fabricating a self-image
with a more prominent linage
doodling on back of a letter
shunning life as a go-getter

paying of various taxes
wielding rhetorical axes
stopping by the grocery store
dealing with muscles which are sore
waiting in the queue at the bank
musing why

First Impressions

The first impressions
in the soft, wet clay of mind
crystallize for good.

Impressions

footprints in the sand 
fingertips melting in snow 
every word we speak

Books

Books 

I went to the Frankfurt Book Fair the other day.
It was mind-boggling..Books! 
There were fat books, thin books,
White books, black books, tawny books,
Paperbacks, hardbacks, beautifully bound books,
Pure books, lax books, learned books, lay books,
Plain books, books of many colours,
Books on every subject under the sun, 
Not to mention other books on
Distant galaxies, pulsars, quasars,

Numb

A person can't be tuned or programmed to be a certain way.
So why is it I feel “a defective system” to this day?

My mind; it flickers black and white 
I try and try to get things right

When I look into your eyes I see a vast world of shadows sliding past one another

Dissociation

A solemn vibration
