All around us
there are killicks.
Nothing about this
is mythic
or metaphysic.
Killicks are small anchors
bringing balance
and stability
and even predictability
to many aspects of our lives.
Killicks can be people,
things and places
bringing comfort
and normalcy:
love, food, friendship, kind faces,
the feeling of security
and comfortability.
The more killicks we've got
should be appreciated,
and seen not as an afterthought.
The senses are intended to mislead
a man in love. I know, his watchful eye
can see the angels flying in the sky
but drawbacks of his ladylove, indeed.
He's ears sharp enough to hear a bead
of water working rocks, a quiet sigh
of endless starless space and even thy
conspiratorial whisper, thinking reed.
But he is deaf to platitudes, buzzwords,
suburban accent, vulgarisms and odds
and ends because he listens to the sound
of metaphysic harmonies inside
his own heart. He keeps eyes open wide
to see love crossing its transcendent bound.
Once upon a time
Poems were writ in rhyme.
But in present days
They wander in a haze
Of unrelated lines
And metaphysic signs
That make it hard to see,
At least for you and me,
Where the poet’s going,
Or if they're even knowing
With such verse complex
Readers are perplexed.
