Short Elliptical Poems

Elliptical flights
A primordial purpose
A blue dimension...

That we feel contrast,
orbits are elliptical,
manifesting the seasons.

Perhaps this is true
but for bliss in permanence,
the light in our hearts must merge....

The way the moon faithfully spans across the sky-- does prove He
designed the lunar path to be elliptical -- how groovy --
and blessed --we are-- to get this nightly panoramic "movie"...

alone....

in a vast meadow,
silently counting ruby explosions
of
rare, lion's tooth orchids,
hidden
under tiny royal cloaks
of
elliptical emerald leaf canopies,
so
beautiful....

I'm
briefly
blinded...

Valentine
stretches the
envelope
...

a blue moon
her eyes swoon
while I croon
...

serenade
falls so flat
she's grinning
...

arms reach 'round
she kisses me
music divine
...

The morning light has broken
Upon the wall
outside
I watch it sharpen
While sipping coffee
It broadens
over
The walls entirety
Into a full gleaming twinkle
I sip
Feeling the vibration
here
in the concrete hades
Such loveliness...

Someone over 200 pounds, start at the lowest setting
On an Elliptical Trainer can burn 400 calories, that's bed wetting!
Says the brochure
Gonna buy one for sure
Soon be a trim senior if my ticker doesn't start objecting...

Someone  over 200 pounds, for 30 minutes at the lowest setting
On an Elliptical Trainer can burn 400+ calories, that's bed wetting!
Says the brochure
Gonna buy one for sure
Soon be a slim trim senior, if my ticker doesn't start objecting...

ignited horizon elliptical 
akin to our eye’s contour
enveloping the darkness
blinking at a rapid rate
echoing tremors of soul
in a stillness continuum 
of awareness self-aware
simply present in silence 
is vibrant in blissfulness

I've stepped out of Earth's atmosphere
  Don't expect me for dinner, my dear

Past Mercury, Venus and Mars
  Out my window shine trillions of stars

Catch a glimpse of me going 'round Saturn 
  Just follow the rings' elliptical pattern

And when I'm beyond the Milky Way
  Please call in sick for me, OK?...

Nature's bounty begins to recede
Creature's pent-up store doth now bleed
Declining rays earth's growth cycles no longer doth feed
Changing temperatures will autumn winds breed
 
Earth's orbit now an elliptical curve
Time no more day's light will conserve
Flora's seed held close in reserve
Fallow ground now Nature's preserve...

sunrise for sale

a pinpoint of light

find your place in the stars

elliptical orbit

afar

new definitions

of the solar system

created

found

with a timeless search

astronomers and soothsayer

cry out

this distant body

given a letter

instead of a name

the ultimate seclusion

for an infinite price...

worlds collide
as whirlwinds
twirling churn 
in their incessant dance
galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow
meandering
gliding sliding 
on their elliptical courses
travel in stride
skating graceful

cruising elliptical nebula 
 in the dome at night 
 desired location 
 Circle your inner hope  
 twinkling light 

moon reflected 
your longing gaze 
dressed up 
 diamond hour 
 shade garden sky 
 bloom 
 crystal flower 

 silver on coal 
 poetic 
 god 
 written words  
 melancholy 
 under the darkest glow

Coloured and in cascades, there's foam on the falls,
Elliptical dome shaped..almost perfect circles are recalled
Haven of childhood and sanctuary gained, ephemeral beauty
its existance proclaims, against backdrops on dewdrops in
rain on the leaves, bubbles are forming in torrents and streams
in my bathtub they a'wait me..under billows of steam..!

 The Chesire Felidae smiles down at me,
as I patrol all night on achy feet.

There is no need for artificial light,
for the Chesire Felidae smiles so bright.

Sometimes in the deep, dark, cold night,
the Chesire Felidae's elliptical smile is the only thing in sight.

When dawn approaches the smile slowly fades away,
the Chesire Felidae vanishes and hides during the day....

Merging into one all hours of the elliptical chaos
As returns the old saying
Simple may it seem
What we need is water and some thing to eat
People to meet
If we are covered in greed
Upcomes the fleet 
Innocent individuals loose their lives
Like a Russian roulette 
Revealed we are as numbers
No longer do we take for granted
What we had...
To this day
Nothing will ever be the same....

Open your eyes to the void
Waves of blinding light arise
Wild untold stories unfold
Just over the billionth mile

Beyond the ecliptic hemisphere
North of the heavenly equator 
Elliptical orbs stream out of sight
In time life will come to order

Kaleidoscopes turn in on themselves
Focus their attention on unborn stars
Colors were born when God began
Just over there without question...

Brilliantly Blue Sky with Wispy Wondering Nebulous Cumulus Clouds
A bench. The scarred magpie 
Emblematic
The dull thud of realisation
Easily mistaken for a heartbeat
And our conversation;
Itself a Venn diagram of times very non linearity
Our elliptical orbit spun me dizzyingly to it's furthest reaches and back again
Events of a million years ago fondly remembered 
But for you and I
Only yesterday...

PARADIGM SHIFT.

Here is my version of a paradigm shift,
Socratic questions if you get my drift!
Why did God make the Universe elliptical?
To make an Aussie football, not spherical!
Why did God make football? See here,
To make men miserable, my dears!
Why did God make beer?
To make men happy, my dears!
So, some intelligent chappies here,
Taking beer to the football, no fears,
Now they're miserable and happy dears!...

Earth orbits 'round the Sun;
  Elliptical, her path.
Equinox, twice yearly,
  Evolves September, March.
Ecliptic plane of Sun
  Eclipses it with Moon...
Enchanting earthly view.

Elevation


Elliptical thoughts race
Elusive in nature
Entanglement undone
Emancipated soul
Elevating one's mind
Evolving being made
Eventual true peace

Consume not liquid lest you feel inebriation
The fat of this earth shall not pass your tongue.
While under the thrall of this passionless thing
Never again to know reality's touch.

Beware the effects
that will certainly occur.
The thoughts may cause some nausea

when you see the malady
mercurial and volatile
spinning straight into the sky.

Swallow whole this deliverance
and salivate with indifference.

Do not chew and do not crush,
and do not dare inhale the dust....

Fifteen minute utter cohesion exists
Selene umbra shielded is dust kissed
Coinciding of inland and coastal discs

Earth Moon orbit drawn in magnetism 
Spherical cycled symmetry, safety given
Invisible fingers tap tunes to their rhythm 

Red emits forbidden midnight miracle
Hottest wanton, dual crossing elliptical 
Helios wavelength cottons moon's spool

Aus will have prime view of blood super moon 
Eclipse tonight

This morning,

after the moon blinked its

unblinking eye,

I stroked the speckled ivory of 

your shoulder

thankful for your presence 

and your patience

throughout the years.

A strength has been derived from

our life together,

and now apart, yet still together

although the form has changed,

the feeling is the same,

and bonds stronger than

love, blood or tears

hold us in

our elliptical

orbits,

satellites

of each other

spinning distantly....
