Taking Meditation for a walk
nags me with...

The reality be told, it was not long past,
Flabbergast by an unfold from my mind’s vague vast,
In reflections of the accounts of my youth,
Echoes formed, all claiming to be truth.
Must be fabricated, they’re so over...

The reality be told, it was not long past
Flabbergast by an unfold from my minds vague vast
In the reflections of the accounts of my youth 
As several echo’s formed claiming to be truth
Must be fabricated....

I felt tears trickling down. After so many years. All persevering truce is a magnificent allegory , measuring minuscule salt portions with a grandiose precaution. The immediate call will be the lasting diva:
“When you are...

Let us put together a montage
Of aromas…In our minds

Perhaps of Juicy Fruit gum
Perfume, sweat or of Roses
Of rain on hot pavement
Of tar, surf and the Seaside
Of candies, pastries baking
Of gun smoke…and loam
And any and every...

Cessations tying balloons; glittering now amid the colours of the wind

To build this fairytales city while as closing obtuses intangible eyes....

Animations sparkling fortress afore dangling, majestic manifold crowns ~

Heliums manifestations, lifting these walls atop their...

Memories can become blurry, over time,
like underdeveloped photographs,
or incomplete, like sunlight through blinds.

Our lives move ever forward,
like the inflexible patterns of stars.

Once fevered and immediate events
recede, with frightening, doppler effect,
as remembered yesterdays,
become forgotten yesterdays.

This or That, Vol 30 Poetry Contest
Edward Ibeh



As soon as my eyes cleared from the tears
I could see that his body and soul were long gone 
He layed frozen in time 
Lifeless, naked and sorry
Where...

They don’t care,
if your monthly car, mortgage, utility bills,
credit card payments, a loan you’re paying back
your father inlaw has always been on time,
or if.

You didn’t see the no parking or stop sign.
Can’t afford a cap...

The Daze of a Bitter Heart

dare you blow away
fluttering your dear eyes at me
i threw my heart and missed
life's a journey through each breath
though i tried to be sweet
dough rises for the baker's doe
I now...

A twirl in a whirl or a curl is neither a six foot pie or a girl. Spinning wire into gold is not wise. And dancing is best performed to giant octaves. Tissue boxed coverage...

collections show facets to me
assorted pieces hail history
recollections kept deep inside
where irrational follies hide

motley montages, memories
my collections, things that please
miscellaneous, sorts of stuff
put on shelves to gather dust

various items mingle mixed up
me, I drink from...

ILLUSIONS
the largely
forgotten
 chaos
of moving

 creativity
   proclaimed
  the sporadic
 in
a series

an innocuous
free spirit
voiced
 lively
 with vitality
in
 intuitive
concepts

icons
of essence
in a
fantasy fusion
  dream
symbol

 self absorption
in
shadow shaped
  modish moods
 intercut
montages
 with
 repeated
 glimpses
irrepressible
 & ageless


NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making...

Leaf shadows 
Manically dancing
Mincing moonlight 
Into myriad motes…
Montages of mystery
Upon which
Reality floats..

Leaf shadows dancing
Withdrawing…
Advancing…
Rivulets retreating
Neath prows
Of night’s boats

Swiftly sketched…
and as swiftly erased
By leaves and limbs
Leaving no trace…
The artistic trees
One would suppose
Have only need
Of light and...

It’s fun to watch Awards shows,
Though they’re shallow and they’re trite – 
Stars all gathering together
For an ego-boosting night.

Yet the SAG Awards montages
Showing actors at their start
Captured images of younger days
That set the show apart.

From...
