Reflections and Perceptions
Reflections and Perceptions BY Joshua Otieno Angasa I hope our daughters will love me as much as you guys love your Aabo. That sentence-simple, but it lingers like a shadow at golden hour, soft, honest, unfiltered. See, I stare at mirrors and moments, trying to trace the outlines of a father I’ve never met-yet somehow must become. Trying to shape love from echoes, build trust...

Perceptions
Judgments based on one's perception. Others are a mirror of one's self Reflections in the mirror are captured by one's thoughts I am lovely I am unlovely The World is Glorious The World is miserable The sky is blue The sky is grey Earth is transitioning Earth is stagnant The mirror reflects empowerment The mirror reflects powerlessness What you perceive is what you believe An image of your world...

Premium Member Ignorant Perceptions
Today, I'm lost for words, something seems so absurd. Ignorant perceptions, lead to blind deceptions. My mind begins to rot, being judged for that i'm not. I curse those erratic eyes, full of superficial cries. In your selfish desire, you wanna set me on fire, wrap my neck in barb wire, then you think I'm a liar! Hatred has your thoughts ruled, you're in need to be re-schooled. Venom...

Premium Member Purgatorial Perceptions
Purgatorial Perceptions By Mark D. Stucky In the basement, I heard fluttering sounds coming from inside the old chimney. Cautiously opening the clean-out trap, I came nose-to-beak with a panicked bird. Having fallen down the depths of the narrow furnace flu, it now lacked sufficient strength and space to escape through the constricted ascent. With gloved hands, I reached in to grab the imprisoned sparrow. It pecked...

Premium Member Fresh Perspectives
I was a learned college professor, who was forever eager to know more, As blue-gray waves, finding sandy beaches, turn to seek another shore. I drove to work smiling, in those tangerine days, so glad for avid youths, Like when dusky stars waltz out dreamy, winking to show hidden truths. My long days were full, like the pink marguerites,...

Perceptions
A chameleon adorning mirror scales See rainbow hue’s shimmer and shine, sparkle and glow tiny glittering pinpricks of light now dark and grey with lightning strikes cutting through the darkness on tears of illumination Don’t look too close lest you find what you seek ... You dig and dive and analyze and search Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole twisting and swirling,...

Premium Member Candy Girl
This 6 liter hard candy girl tickles my eyes and curls my toes. Makes me dance to music I can’t feel. Sends me where I’ve never been before, on a tour of Big Time, Small Town, Milky Way Heaven, wearing clumsy sneakers that reek of old cliches and humming sad tunes from all my yesterdays. Don’t sit and weight for your bowels to...

Perceptions
I saw the rage in his gaze, His seductive art I felt his digitus medius, longing to write his name inside my ****. He charged up as usual Still looking little unsettled with a sudden crash of energy, I wanted to escape the situation, but his grip was tight and manhood hard Enough to melt me down and Drown in his...

The Eyes of Percertion and Deception
THE EYES OF PERCEPTION AND DECEPTION Signs, symbols, and codes, upon a road to many roads. Tis your perception and deception, for lies within truth, and truth within lies, from sunset to sunrise, what will daily thoughts realise. Knowledge and time, to understand, it may not rhyme. Research the search, until infinity you see. Some share knowledge in unity, powers of a coded secret society only shadows in the...
