Short Ellipse Poems

Thrust a circle
Became an ellipse
Area of which
Remained intact...

was of a pretty ellipse
that made us turn flips

Scientific theory,
modernity’s ego trip

Its pay grade maxed, its mirror cracked
—empirical ellipse

for too long, fragmented arcs
not fitting together, broken
until you, now it is as if
a compass has drawn the
perfect circumference
tangent touching
your radius, straight to my heart
reflection symmetry
the arcs now fitting together
enclosing the circle
completing me...

The darkness extends
As the sun descends
To partial ellipse
And deep cold now grips
Penetrating core

Skeletal trees’
Dark silhouettes
Against pale sky
In waiting sleep

Burst of lights
Signal makes
Indicates

Old year
Comes to

End

Sparks flicker from honey lips.
Shower me in purest fire.
Gravity lathes my ellipse
as we bask in our desire.
Shudders quake when passion grips
this yearning howls to inspire.

My mantle once longed to drift
in shame and disappointment.
Your voice charmed a brilliant shift
spurring my blazing accent.
Dancing comets praise our gift--
this hallowed ordained event....

ELLIPSE

Swing me out in a gravitational arc into 
the ether way out fast, reach my apogee 
start my descent back to earth. Bit rough this time, 
turbulence shakes me, back to the dump joke shop joke shop. 
Sign on the line, give me my giro. Yeah, I’m part of the jump 
in unemployed figures! No future, no job, no mortgage. 
Held in place by gravity skull moon eclipse of unemployment. 
Eternally....

Have a kiss, from my heart.
Only tenderness from the start,
Taste my kiss upon sweet lips.
Sensual love in moonlight ellipse,
Yes indeed you are more than art.

Tracing your body with my fingertips,
Our embrace more than simple grace,
Telling the stars as our bodies’ grips,
Sensory images beyond angelic lace.
Yes voluptuous moves, I take in sips.

   The moon roams around in the sky
 Controlling the tides with its pull
  It changes shape on high
 and  is more powerful when it's full

 Magical Luna puts on a show
  as it glimmers on the sea at night
 Lovers find romance under its glow
 as they share kisses that delight

 When the sun casts earth's shadow on the moon
 as Luna orbits in an ellipse
 There will be a sign in the sky soon
 and we'll see a total lunar eclipse

You are my life's apostrophe
The part that has always been missing in me
You're right where the hyphen used to be-
You are my life's apostrophe

Once a question mark was all I had? 
And commas dominated my soul, 
Semicolons; separated my dreams
And the ellipse was firmly in control...

Then you placed your brackets around my [heart]
Your braces around my {soul}
Your parentheses surround my (dreams) 
You're the exclamation mark in my life so droll!...

SILENCE


As love was immense....
......silence......
as the armor was to struggle
....ethereal silence....
as knowing was profound
...a finger caressed the ellipse in silence...
as neurons
foretold the third phrase
...anticipated silence...
better listen
to inhabitants of silence
to the zoom of cosmic atoms
the uuhh of ear  tension
the song of birds
the howling wind
and the images of fantasy and dreams
talking silently
as immense love......
......silence.........
