Fruit bowl without fruits
     similar to supermarket shelf
     without goods...
     Trees without leaves
     and flowers, equal to
     blind without guides...

pale people
paling comparisons
heads on takes
lives at stake


*paling- a fence made from pointed wooden or metal stakes
             a stake used in paling

Great prez, so sad to say adieu, oh momma

Much love he garnered

Conditioning 

Is seemingly

What we are..

Patterns inlaid

Are there for 

Comparisons..so that

An appearance might

Be labeled and

Understood..

Such a story may 

Arise......

That which once was and can no longer be,
a vision once seen you can no longer see.
When described as a thought, a memory,
or a seed or seedling if you are a tree.
The beginning of something the world now calls me!...

you are unique
like your finger prints
do you compare
comparisons
leads to competitions
competition
extends to cast creed
colour race country
dividing one love
sun doesnt set
illusion we dont need
competitions believe...

(lost a dear friend today, just when you think life 
just might be eternal)

like war and
peace and crime
and punishment
russian comparisons

never
arrogant
always this
or that because

dog is
cat and this
is that but what if
wasn't wasn't wasn't...

Comedic contortionist claims clubfeet;
consider carefully, circus clowns cheat.
Chico chipped Carson City's carved concrete
clumsily chiseling cheap cardboard containers.
Charlatans can calm capitol complainers
confounding Congressional campaigners.

Alliteration afreshes tracheae
As you compose the consonant comparisons
Assures tongue twist the trust of vowels
Amend the departed stress slogans of stance
As you compare as you compose
Alliteration again agitate stanzas
Am sure as you swear you see what you sown....

Why can't I see in myself
  what others see in me

So busy comparing reality
  to some idealized version of me

A version of me from so long ago
  no one would recognize it now, so

Perhaps it's time to quash comparisons absurd
  to celebrate who I've become, as I pen each new word...

Tired of being compared 
By those who have for me cared. 
Tired of feeling scared 
Of words they declared.  

Tired of comparing 
Myself to those I'm sparring. 
Tired of fighting 
The truth of something.  

Tired of my comparisons, 
Knows not of my nature's origins. 
Tired of my frustration, 
My mind needs filtration....

Comparisons made by ego
Negates our uniqueness
Let go now, oh hermit, let go
Entwine with That oneness

Choose tranquil quietude
God connect attitude
In blissful solitude 

Self-made prisons
Comparisons

can you really compare?
day to night
apples to oranges
is it that easy?
day is for work
night is for stars and dreaming
a lack of complexity
too many depths
look deeper
I am night and longing
an apparition, visualization
floating through your dreams
touching on your senses
all of them 
leaving a taste
of all that was
of all that can be...

Imaginations without limits
Wholeness of awe
No sound was heard
The body crumbles
‘Cos the feet loose their strength

Silence without end
Glory beyond description
Joys to overflowing
Warmth have skipped
Memory elopes
Nothing would contain
Would have skipped
Memory elopes
Nothing would contain
What this presence brings
No comparisons
No alternatives
Everything beyond words
Where the soul is nourished...

He was with me then
As I searched for a new place
In which I could live

But he does not speak
He is my companion
He wants to help me

I don’t believe yet
That he won’t come home ever.
But I just pretend

When I am with folk
They tell me I am stronger.
Oh,comparisons!

Yeah,I need no-one
No words of comfort or love
I must be a stone.

My stoicism
A wonder to the  heavens
My dead face fakes   peace....

some things are plain to see
when your eyes are clear
comparisons and judgments
withheld from passions lair
shackled to old memories
chained to what is lost
on a shaky bridge to tomorrow
what I held and what is lost

I sift through the pieces
of what was not true
my accordion pleated mind
filing traces of you
you sleep in the bed your made
it was all your choice
while listening in silence
to what once was my voice...

You, like idolatry
clean and holy
me, like mud holding
heavy footfall, reluctant
to let go
You, like the optimistic
flame of an iron
lantern, radiating
me, like the pallid moth
trapped inside, embracing
the flame to get
it over with.
You, with footsteps
fading from my ears
as you recede into
the concrete ocean.
me, standing still
as a shipwreck watch
as leaves ebb and flow
in streams, casting
worried looks my way...

There are many comparisons between doves and smiles.
Im just getting out of bed living one on one.
Its the voice empowered light and its urgency.
Sometimes id rather it be me then you. 
Some say, too few have ever held it.
As long as youre keeping on, youre still keeping on
As evil as it may seem, it would be evil not to do it
Im a happy man as long as i dont forget
I guess i don't care because, I'm free.
Ill die one day
This is my life...

It’s hotter than a frying pan
And hotter than the sun.
It’s hotter than it’s been
Since record-keeping was begun.

It’s hotter than a lava flow
And hotter than a fire.
It’s hotter than a couple
Who are burning with desire.

It’s hotter than the desert,
Even hotter than a chili.
I know that these comparisons
Are overwrought and silly…

But that is how I’m sure it feels,
At least it would to me,
If I would venture out and leave
My icy-cold A/C!...

What has become as the best makeup for woman?
Her youth, health, nature attractiveness
or just how she get  looked to mirror, repaired  tresses,
how she smiled and turn to glance?
Maybe mystic lied on her way of wearings,
in her fashion and subtle taste

All these things look as extra-precious  
But beauty of soul, perfection of deep knowledge and reason 
beyond all competitions and comparisons   
as a parts of  her grace and eternal elegance....

The Reverenge Of A Poet

There is not harm in his lines 
but no one can say he's harmless. 
He stabs You in the heart 
He gives You wings to fly 
.. and You are lost 
Your soul pierced with his word 
You are lost 
in his Labyrint of multiple senses, 
hidden menings, comparisons, 
aphorisms, archaisms 
and the metaphors. 
Thou shalt seek.. and ask 
Thou shalt never know.. 
God cursed him 
and this is his reverenge 
to the World.

by Vera Dike...

The words once they’re spoken,
  notes and palettes enhanced

Not judged in reference,
   kindred spirits they dance

While music enlivens
  what phrases will say

A painting embodies
  what verses convey

And the only conflict
  is in the critic’s eye

Who sees not the harmony,
   but comparisons lie

As all art travels skyward,
  enjoined hand in hand
	
To the source of its power
   —together to stand

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...
