Long Mental images Poems

I loved my job as a librarian, and today I was walking to work,
In the warmth of a summer morning, when golden butterflies lurk.

I had some extra time, and it happens I took the scenic...

"The Phenomenal Transient World"



I had a thought
it came 
from Me

that internal Me
the Me, that Is,
I Am 

It traversed a 
world outwards
from inside

like the rings
recorded in the 
trunk of a tree

like the rings 
of water rippling
skipping...

Four palms, one taller, the other three measure the same.
Heavily anchored in sand, all are vertical climbers of this azure sky.
Eight new fronds per palm, the older ones neatly trimmed by man.
No cocoanuts anywhere to...

I can't seem to hear the dial on this broken telephone, 
staring back at the brick walls in this greco home, 
The tone becomes ominous the further i progress,
the depths of a broken soul from...

The senses of a nurse are many.
They are used to help, heal, comfort and console.

The healing "touch" we strive so hard to find initially soon becomes second 
nature.
The ability to relieve pain, even if we...

Proving a point! An exaggerated ending
I see - I am drawing conclusions
An overstatement! Influential indeed
An extravagant means of spreading viewpoint
Ah! I write - I use it to exclaim
I end my proven thoughts with ability
Drawing attention...

I'm visualizing! I am seeing objects
Mesmerized - my hypnotic state I appeal
Astounding! My pupils dilate at the vivid personality
The dreams I dream. They are not real
Night after night, sleeping with the twilight
It's extreme - frequently...

A breeze blows through the budding branches of
the tree near the riverfront close to a boardwalk. 
It's daylight, but through my eyes everything is tinted 
with an azure gleam.

Like a filter for a photograph, it...

The Journey Begins Contest

My transit began not too long ago,
My life had headed in directions,
So unclear, even to my own liking,
As my daily life of bombshells explode,
I ran in short distances,
Driving further away...

(Monkey Shines on Typewriter)

Monkey dreams, sex, more sex,
Banana nice too,
Once in a while!
Tastes better though
When cute butt peels for me
Too much rain,
Smell like stale carpet
Who will groom me now?

Something big comes,
Sure not stinky me!
Haul my...

Beauty be that of rainbow hues on my face

Bewitching in art- coloring this my world
Enchanting creating the beauteous hues , I...

I'm a dreamer.

Do not snap me back to reality... 

I wish to linger 
in this sublime realm 
called imagination.
It's not a faraway destination.
I close my eyes 
and I'm there,
and all cares and woes 
are in...

Feel the year-end mood
Rainy punctuation,
Wetness all around


Touch of strange passion
Words stretch away,
New permutations


Here the watcher
Stretches out waiting,
Touch of wonder


Feel the pulse
Of mental images,
Poise of new voices


I wait to know
Some surge of feelings,
Blend of new rhymes


When...

I sat in front of an empty canvass the other day,
Thinking of the perfect portrait in which I wanted to portray,
I began, and subconsciously I preceded to perfect my stroke,
Molding wonders until I hit a...

ECSTASY 
A kaleidoscope of life swirls,
Rising and retreating,
The aura of its abundance joyously alive
With honeysuckle rabbits 
And the pine needle sweat of children.
All animate, a scent in the air,
Breathed on a lightening wind
Of creations God...

This-
This tableau of 
Mental images, of 
Fixed scenes, this
“Battle of Egos” is
Relentlessly looping
In my mind.

An annual gathering of kith and kin
Created a backdrop of statue-like characters
Blindly unaware of a
Crisis stirring.

Off to the side, there are...

I thought I’d write an exquisite ode
like marvelously well crafted code:
a soaring flight to fancied flows,
but that’s not how this clunker goes.
You can’t out-sleep a five-year-old,
or if you can, you’ll soon regret;
you’ll wake in terror,...

I stare blankly at the skies above;
Partially blue with enormous grey tumultuous clouds on one extreme, 
And the bright midday sun shining before my eyes.

I go back to the first instance I saw you. 
Tantalized...

Images some clear and pure,
some hazy and blurred,
some tinted, some broken,
reflections i see in the mirror

some still while few in motion,
shadows the mental images on the glass.

It's been awhile since I've had a taste.
A smorgasboard of artistic drug laced,
with passion, purpose,skill, and will,
beautiful with poetic appeal.

It's been awhile since my soul has taken this trip,
aboard these vehicles, our mothership,
that take ahold,...
