Long Field of view Poems

Adept Anglophone pines to learn Yiddish as a second language

When alive colorful turns of phrases
uttered courtesy my father or mother
whose ability to describe a situation
perfectly verbalized and couched by
a dialect of High German including
some Hebrew...

Albedo effect in full force after appreciable snowfall

After descent of eventide
luminescence of freshly fallen snow
still illuminates the terrestrial firma bright
even upon the onset of dusk,
when dark shadows
betoken the edge of night
analogously herald outer limits
invoking intimations...

There are homely tricks my mother would do,
One peculiar think after another she could brew,
Just give her a dozen eggs to break through,
And watch her turn them into running shampoo.
 
One peculiar thing after another...

In the labyrinth of warmth, I sought refuge in the cold room of frozen memories,
From the cold room, I fled to the coffin of unspoken promises,
And from the coffin? Only the bare hands of time...

We act according to our fears.
Afraid of failure, terrified of victory finding refuge within the tears.
We sacrifice the chances of success for the certainty of death.
We weigh the risk before deciding, we dismiss the chance...

The sun dappled patio 
     irresistibly beckoned 
     pillowed pad to bedeck 
     cement spongsbob
     square pant sized couch...

You can keep swinging in your smile
as your eyes see through the cylinder only
where the flowers radiate the scent
where the leaves wait for the rustle
of the fondling wind
where stars wait for the music
of the magical...

Magic Beans come in all sorts of colours and favors,
Some are sour,
 some are sweet,
 some are the ones you do not eat,
In my bag of magic beans,

Drip your hand in,
see what color you discover,

Normally, I'm not one to be alarmed by things that go bump in the night,
But the other night I saw something that gave me a most dreadful fright!
I awoke to make a visit to you...

A Man for All Seasons.

Well Barack Obama has won a last,
The Country swayed like barley grass.
We all look forward beyond today
The people now have had their say.

The World still spins around and round
But squares itself...

I rise at the center of...
Is it a room? This is a face.
There is motion, too fast, too clamorous.
Cryptic and opaque. Shapes shift
into my field of view.
Recognize! The message spoken
ends in an upward curve.
Interpret! It...

we know you just wanna be you
we're thinkin' that we're over you
we prefer our point of view to you
you must mistake what you misread

we know you want to improve you
we'll do our best to subdue...

I got a problem, it’s with my son.
He seems so different, the odd one.

It’s not unusual with lads his age.
They’re going through so many emotions at that phase.

Nah this is different, he’s acting strange.
It’s like...

He leaves his silent signature on every piece of art
Not seeking worldly profit or acclaim,
Yet touches of perfection often set his work apart
And witness to his honourable name.

He moves his painter’s palette from the east...

Morning ocean air, feeling misty
I wish you were here just to kiss me
Footsteps on que
Thinking of you

Music in my ear, walking swiftly
Songs I love to hear, do you miss me?
Few more hours
Smell the flowers

Taking my...

This poem came to me during my recovery from cataract surgery. 
It’s amazing how much loss we can adjust to if the process is gradual enough. 

I’ve been looking at the world through gauze curtains...

My eyes grow heavy and my sight is blurred;
I fight for wakefulness but steadily cede ground.
I am being drawn down,
seduced into the abyssal realm of sleep.

Wandering these moonlit halls
I stumble upon oddities unending,
my slumbering mind...

But you,
Became shark food for all those dudes who found you lost and consumed inside my bedroom walls.

But they forgot,
Forgot to close the door behind them when they came in causing all that pain and...

Facing Life
Written: by Miracle man
12-28-2019

I’ve tried to face life keeping a stiff upper lip,
now approaching it’s end, see it’s been just a blip.
Youth has long faded from my field of view,
I’ve trusted God given skills...

Who are you?
Where do you come from?
Because I know that I am me 
And I know where and what I've been

He studied my eyes, he studied the field of view in between us

My name is...

The Ribbon

The colors in the sky, 
way up high, 
red, and gold and green...
yellow, purple, 
and the unseen. 
Those colors, 
that are outside 
our field of view, 
the ones that we see, 
me, and you....

How do you view the world ?

    Is your sight through eyes of your own ?

        Does the vision come by clear and sober ?

You can doubt the sun will rise
Or that the skies are ever blue.
You can doubt an eagle flies
Or that truths are ever true.
You can doubt everything you see
Within your field of view.
But don’t you ever...

A stranger to the naked eye,
this ghostly apparition glimpsed 
within my eyepiece field of view. 

Scarce in contrast noted,
its pale orb stares back at me
through gossamer, pale eyes. 

An Owl betokened here,
to mark the grave...
