Premium Member The Girl In The Keyhole
Take me back to that girl in the keyhole, take me to my childhood vacation; Take me back to the sand dunes, take me to that old mini golf course; I’d surely hit another hole in one; Take me back to a Top Forty sound, take me to the bliss before algorithms; Take me back to the mid Atlantic coast, take me back...

Premium Member Keyhole Dreams
Keyhole dreams floated out into the world Butterfly wings, powdered sugar, dots of monarchs Faerie magic might have brought this on Even the fey were not certain how it happened The world was unready, confused, consternated. Keyhole sent out the colors orange yellow and pink. Reminds me of the sixties, someone said You are starting to get there, replied another. Peace signs and...

Fait Accompli
Follow me,it's this way Alice Through the woods to the white Queens Palace On the way we'll stop for tea to visit old friends you'll be glad to see Then you'll rest up so as to feal cocky before you face the Jabberwocky Some days you'll grow and some you'll shrink Some days your chained to the kitchen sink The twins are waiting...

Deceit of sun when rays are still but porous; unwelcome thief, afford my dream more seconds. Some dappled shadows flit through mystic keyhole; alight upon pellucid remnant image. I stifle yawn as thoughts embrace the vision. My ever-restless spirit merits story which doesn’t evanesce at first obstacle encountered when issues foisted upon me. Embarked on travels, trinkets of high finesse that crossed the boundaries of...

Premium Member The Keyhole
Just like her favorite character Alice she dresses up. Around her neck a key adorns. On her way she goes. She has read of a keyhole that holds heaven on the other side of its door. A young girl named Cassy sits curiously by a riverbank. Twirling her long tresses as she peeks into...

The Keyhole
Creating an exit, my psyche expands all locks have been opened, no shrill reprimand The light has rekindled, my way again clear a willful expression —new freedom endeared (Dreamsleep: February, 2022)...

Life Seen Through a Keyhole
Life seen through a keyhole Subconscious out of my soul An image blurred and indistinct Some half remembered precinct Idealized but not indefinite life seen through a keyhole Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly Impossible Perhaps that's its benefit reflections seeking to console Prompted by some unknown inner instinct Invisible to my soul Distorted and hazy cannot reveal the whole life...

Sight-Seeing Through a Keyhole
A pair of forceps the size of food tongs turned off one light in my two room watch tower. In those days Grizzly bears were called eye surgeons. I did not see half the world slip away over my left shoulder. A cyclopean tunnel forgot it was ever able to swivel eyeballs and see around the edges of a circle. It’s all fish-eyes...

A Wig Is Helping An Untiring Lawbreaker
Growing are the grumbles By a Gathering of Humbles: A skyrocketing effort to change an unchanging Dinah, In figures, now closely chasing the population of China: The grumbles, a fast succeeding siege against the judge Now set to hit Justice where it hurts… The earlier mumbles a saintly grudge Whose holder unrestrainedly blurts. A wig is helping an untiring lawbreaker, Scheming to the wrong...

Like Smoke Through a Keyhole Live each day as though it might be your last. Savor each drink in lifes repast. As our lives pass so quickly, like smoke through a keyhole. Love your God and all people. Leave bitterness outside your heart and gate. What awaits you, is a shining fate.            October 26, 2019 ...

Through the Keyhole Darkly
Through the keyhole darkly, he could now remember his name Through the keyhole darkly, his medicine kicked in once again Through the keyhole darkly, he knew his daughter by her face Through the keyhole darkly, he was now back home in his space Through the keyhole darkly, his dog was closely by his side Through...
