essential focus
self-analysis
of the
instinctive urge
a contrast so stark
explicit
invisible
as
explosive
exploits are portrayed
a mantle
of a perogative
whipped
manipulated
yet so delicate
in self-satisfaction
self-irony
to the fore
sensibility
so friable
lacking solidity
as
fluidity surfaces
the immediacy

as formal
tension

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Nature is fickle
After painting a portrait
She changes her mind!

Daydreams are not the perogative of the very young.
The older one gets, the more we need to stray...
We set our minds on the immediate task
So careful, we tred, of not losing the way,
Yet often our thoughts come to a cross-road
Where a wooden signpost may have a name
A name that takes our thoughts to another day
Another place, another face
And suddenly our thoughts journey through the unexpected
No more a road of painful duty, of deep reluctance
On the contrary, ...
A coming home to thoughts that fill the heart
Where common sense flies out the window
To be replaced by the reasonless
Excitement of a child returning home from school
Knowing that summer, or a holiday, begins in the morrow
Coming home,
Coming home to a splendid world
If only in a dream

The end, at last, is glorious,
If true,
Concluding the mindlessness given,
But having learned this much
Of you,
Mind change is perogative driven.
Having built up hopes before to
Be free.
And clear of a harrowing bleating,
To have them dashed upon rocks
At sea
And your absence be only fleeting.
So perhaps this time good luck will out
And reveal
What has been incognito;
The elusive outcome achieved and
For real,
That at last it be ended, finito!
