Long Uncaptured Poems

the grace of Paris
lingering in my thoughts. . . 
Madrid’s grimy walls

As our small group of students entered Madrid, it was an early morning in late January. We had left behind us what has been...

I understand that my values have changed. In ways to frame a point we can't help complain. Distract a conscience with tasks to entertain. As well as moments uncaptured to drive insane.

Now sorry I know...

"Parable"



When the other
side of night
came to collect its token

I was starlight
unsinkable invisible 
some uncaptured mystery
 
that would never again
be broken mortal
like an egg shell

under the bickering feet 
of men, listening to 
their own voices

their pathetic...

Each one holds a  bittersweet memory
Of a beautiful part of my past
Who'd of thought when those pictures all came down
That those framed in emotions would last

When the pictures stopped
My world fell apart
Each uncaptured emotion....runs...

"The whore and glitch"

Time tantalizes me, Bars I'm behind
Despair inside  that hides my beauty
My worth only determined through biased eyes
In another life I was a whore, 
Then an artist with a beautiful mind

Born in...

They closed my mother's casket
to be buried next to Dad today.

The crowd  that came to honor her
began to walk away.

Nothing left but tiny breeze 
a cold and lonely final stare,

and I her dear beloved...

Beyond reach in her child's world as she plays
Lost in her magic land of flower friends
Could I but capture the remaining days

Before fleeting childhood too quickly ends.
Those days of marshmallow clouds, velvet skies,
and best friends...

in a sky full of echoes
I'll drown in the loudness of last lines
losing my sure footedness in clouds
that look like mountains
where tears are nothing but a cycle 
to be lost and found 

there was a...

I stitch seams of stories sewn in stains
tracing their timeline in turbulent tones
navigating the news now naked & exposed
on the doorstep of your mysterious mind

entranced engaged and entering earnestly
lead on lacy labyrinth’s of leading lines

Untamable

There’s a little part inside my mind,
That wants to know, seeks to find.
The missing piece, the hidden view,
The magical part I see in you.

There’s a little piece inside my heart,
That needs to progress, wants to...

hatchings give impression of shade
closer still
 and there are irregularities 
    mesh always to get caught in
watching seasons change
  wanting not escape, but release
yet careful viewing shows no gaps

On misty road
Not quite yet dark

The landscape growls
No warning bark

Be vigilant
As hidden here

Inside your mind
Uncaptured fear

They roam outside
To trap, ensnare

Grey blanket hides
The monsters there

The causeway twists
Into the clouds

Boundaries draped
In vapour shrouds

Blink too long
In hypnotic mist

Mistakes...

Tailspin wishes delicately lost in the wind
Called out but whisper was after the crash
Chaos so beautiful it forms part of the clouds
Drifts on forever out of ears reach

Raindrops share watered down reminiscences 
Puddles placate with...

Chaste and worn and so trivial
A vial of colored liquid one swallow
Moods change limbs clench
Passions overload steam fills the air
Colors imbibe pupils dilate 
Others are not aware of pure delight
Eyes connect fingers fold
Know one sees...
