Long Deflections Poems

Holograms and hieroglyphs

The whole weighs heavily
touched caressed lightly 
brushed on feather canvass
granite marble marvellous papyrus 
innocence rejuvenated
partial and impartial

Chiselled in and out
of comprehension angled
layered facets facts
subjective trueness 
ciphered and deciphered

Snow flakes teardrops
ink on paper hailing...

How many years did I plant
 dig and dig up again and silently rant
where a flower placed here, should be moved from here to there
 at first, not well planning where 
this one or that...

LET GO OF THE LOOSE LADY:

Because you fear to loose her.
But everything you doing for...

 turn to white grays on piggyback 
 once light breezes that blew 
 gentle in and out the trees comeback

The colors with...

while admonishing you for
your rebuttal
They accost each other
like third graders
left alone in the
school yard
and
when cornered
by a simple inquiry
point wildly
SHOUTING
“He/She started it”

TRANQUILITY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


Calm Seas of Tranquility Sought by All, Found by Few

and I can't blame them nor fault them 
since their escapist deflections 
are only a result of a topsy-turvy world

In every corporation there are thugs,
that want to have their way while others
look in another direction, using threats

throwing around random blames,
