when all was

of a land that never

Captured in private
But widely dispersed
To the curious,
Romantic,
And wildly perverse. 

Trancelike we sit in our own 
pleasure chambers
Watching graphic depictions of 
our fantasy strangers

Engaged, yet removed
Shape shift between spaces
Transposed, not committed
Remove all the traces

Delete today's history
Log off and be gone...

isolated
 conduits 
   of frontal forms 

poses portrayed
      figurative 
          fantasies
              finessed

obsessed introspectives
intense
         expressive lines
    in focussed reflections
 silhouetted studies 
              fleshed out

 sensual depictions
  
       emphasised 
in
precocious
pictorial perceptions...

superficial
        serialized
&  depersonalised 

stencilised 
       depictions 
     deminishments of
              unpredictable 
   abstractions
      on a grand scale 

   simplified repetitions
unpredictable
   heightened
& deliberate

identical

different

  pervasive

images

The first Thanksgiving started way before the actual day.
In the spring when the natives taught the Pilgrims their seeds.
When they showed them how to plant and cultivate new produce.
If it had not been for the natives, the Pilgrims would not have made it.
It is strange that the depictions show the Pilgrims helping the Indians.
When it was truthfully the other way around from the get-go....

hindsight
        a vicarious sanctuary
        exhiliarating  fluctuating
harmony
         conventionally coidtered
         exquisite enchanting
         in mysterious patterns
changing tones&
                        textures immersed
                        in stunning images
depictions
               tinged with
                            wistfulness
chaos
     from desolation
             of emotions awry...

reality 
      in space 
representations
 of     perspectives
             perceived

exposures 
             of  idiosyncratic 
questions
       without answers 

intent to disturb
                or calm

the art of making 
             not judging

 fragments flattened
       in two dimensions 
it is what it is 

          ..just ways & means 

depictions
            sans
               explanations...

Splashes of color bleed on the walls
To me this messy canvas so deeply calls

Depictions of my mind so carefully displayed
I can scarcely compare with my limited shades of grey

My shadow is dim to these burst so bright
How I long to be their source of shimmering light

What stone must I crush or lily unveil
To unlock these oils and show my true prevail 

Surely these dreams are not impossible to be
For these visions began inside of me...

What wafting of wisdom! Such saccharine sound!
Deft diction’s depictions, opaque and profound!
So ruminants rumble and mumble and seek
To mine out much marrow, obtuse and oblique.

My constant conundrum’s more crude and perverse:
I strive not to retch at such wretched non-verse.
Fair finery flops if its form foully flows:
Each clash, pull, and smash smells of emperor’s clothes.

You poets who pass pompous prose off as poem,
Go home!...

Though I cannot make time stand still
My memories are mine to hold
                    As long as I’m of my own mind
They will live on in stories told

Though fleeting and of precious care
Depictions of a life well spent
                In thoughts, I keep as I well know
That time is only ours to rent

And as I walk in gratitude
            And think my memories aloud
These sweet reminders I embrace
             When life walks me beneath a cloud...

Writing is far from new – 
pictures our first penmanship:
on cave-walls, in clay frames,
using colored sand – depictions,
mans' desire to inform; each of
us having his or her own view
of nature – dreams our deeper 
landscape. But, nowadays,
we are politically declarative
pronouns – naming no-longer a
rational art; images no-longer a 
universal language: All creation
deemed self-determining Its! 
Humanity obsessed with correcting 
the errors of God....

Like odourless transparency of things
our totally blind ordeal of heavenly
composes much, the purity it brings
and mystifies perspective, angels wings.

As such, we saw depictions follow sense,
the loveliness allowed to venture thin
upon us so to relish commonsense,
a blind spot so inviting this pretence.  

Pale would be to whom the monochrome,
has suffered once as if we'd died before
to colour landscapes hopefully to roam
those beautiful scenarios of home....
