Unspooling Larger Than Life
a flicker, then form shadows breathing light onto a stretched canvas stories unspooling larger than life yet somehow mirroring the cramped spaces of our hearts a hero's jawline, sharp a tear tracing a painted cheek emotions amplified, distilled a collective sigh in the dark we sit, suspended believing for a fragile hour in impossible loves in justice served with a final shot the reel spins on capturing moments that never were or...

Look at me in the eyes I'm larger than life A towering monolith Surrounded by phonies And plastic ponies It's a shame I'm the only One standing tall But he who stands tall Must inevitably fall At least that's what they say But they say So many things So in one ear And out the other Look me in the eyes Tell me when I'm tellin' lies Each day is a...

Literate lettered latitudinarian looms larger than life
I feel honored, and flattered to acquaint myself (a married youthful looking sexagenarian solitudinarian from southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), yet feel awkward at jump/kick starting a rapport. Literate lettered latitudinarian looms larger than life Presents the following slapdash higglety-pigglety bupkis, whereby reader experiences being mentally hogtied perusing pseudo poetic perambulation devoid of sense and sensibility welcoming character assassination concerning pride and prejudice of yours...

Once there were millions. Now there are billions. Once there were kings. Now there are councils. Once there was ignorance. Now knowledge abounds. Once there was poverty. Now comfort for most. Once there was war. Now there is peace. Once there were traditions. Now there are systems. Our relative power is slipping away. Even as we all grow greater each day. 8 October 2023...

Asia Is Larger Than a Novel 1
To live is to forgive, Asia is larger than a novel by Joseph Kessel. To the icy ray of moon that crosses the window, To the bee that stings your honey on the table of abundance, Forgive the indifference and talent of New York poets, To live is to forgive, To his parents who scolded and lied to you often, To...

"Larger than a Universe" Space to be alone take it, take all the space you want silence becomes you inside conducts a symphony music speaks loud and clear pushes forward across the table the keys to doors and foot flat to the floor driving targa top gears upward shifting racing towards the stratosphere you let go of the wheel, and the noise of bickering black...

When I’m seeking solutions to life’s larger questions, I visit that sacred location where millions of people pray, desperately, for answers - the bathroom mirror. Ugh, has my hair looked like that all DAY?...

Larger Than Life
It's not fair it's not right, All year caring for others, Full of life and laughter, A laugh that was so contagious, We all had to laugh with you, She loved a LARGE mug of tea, She said things as she saw them A fighter not someone to give in, Illness didnt win with you, A front liner you where a carer, When you...
