far past eventide
skylights eluding capture
mornings crest draws near
 
Good morning Soupe....

Respite from hardship
The time eludes, resting call
Absent from worship

Bob Hope was the most clever "dope"
To cope with the tinsel tightrope
That nosey Limey
Could laugh, "G'blimey"
Whilst eluding Donald Trump's grope!...

One tanka ~~ on theme ~~love note~~5/7/5/7/7


Stealthy love is
Like cactus in desert
Thriving for dry air,
Grows up tempestuously
A ghost eluding touch....

Lately time has been eluding me, going by so fast.
It makes me afraid what we have attained again won't last.
But I know most of how we had suffered is now all in the past....

Alluding To Colluding

To what they discussed were alluding,
That it could be concerning colluding;
Usual tricks,
Of politics;
Issue ended up avoiding and eluding.

zillions-
amounts beyond
our imagination
like the depth of infinity-
worthless

zillions-
open-ended
eluding summation
endless quantities revealing
nothing

My soul is.....

deep, dark, eluding
it's depth hides my
worst fears, pain, and torment
No one knows my emptiness
my soul always shows
kindred, peaceful and unbreakable
full of spirit to carry everyone...

Beautiful people
Surround me 
Inspiring eyes
Instill me
Eluding desires
Distress me
You tender much more
Than you know
It perplexes me
Untamed angels
Carry you
Rousing me
Peaceful beings
You restore me....

The blackest hole
of poetic intent
Light spinning inward
no chance of escape
Eluding the eyes
collapsing the meaning
Time in dilation
direction opposed
Energy waning
one word is emitted
Superpositioned
—the last dying star

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)...

Small Hands Are Elegant

Small hands seem so elegant
Regardless of where they went
Go around in circles protruding
And answers to questions eluding
Was auctioneer where money is spent.

That is what Trump reminds me of
sometimes.

Through and after
A nuclear blast
We'll still be around
Eating crap

Fear of light
Perserves out fate
Were hidden between cracks
In the darkest of place

Persnickety eaters
Surely not
We'll eat our own dead
Just merely for a snack

We will still be around
Long after you're gone
Eluding light
And eating crap...

Notice the shadows eluding demise 
Opportunities 
Time for dusk to
Hurry on
Into the 
Night of
Ghosts of dawn and 

Omens of sun rays
For the 

Dancing dust shall settle 
And so weary
We will 
Not

Cast opaque shadows 
As to
Near the constant light 

Shocking 
Thing
Apparently 
Yesterday's dawn is dead...

Around and around 
buzzing 
churrng in the sky
Darting here, there
eluding hands, eyes
fluttering 
going everywhere
Hovering as a cloud
invited nowhere
Just an insect
killing time
looking for an arm
Meals for babes 
nourishment wine
Options plenty
Pooping time
Quickly I see
running near me
splat, curse that swatter that killed me...

~Tranquility~
 
Cozy and hot outside!
Two symbols of these worlds collide

Eluding eclipse effect and becomes worldwide,
Sinking every lover's heart from the inside 

Unhappy endings, one massive clutch-less ride
Emotions fly, like a veggie glide.
 
Under this new moon and sun's high tide.
God, must have a new evil plan set aside!

To watch her with another
The hurt, the pain, the thrust 

Beauty eluding my fondle 
Gorgeousness I can only behold but always let go 

I want this but can't own it
I deserve it but selfish it sounds

What will you do to have a joy illegal?
To defile the voice of norm
For the warmth, for the knowledge 
To carefreely live against order...

There was a day when my brain turned against me
thirsting for daily dose of medication.
My thoughts grew dim and every day more cloudy
as if in fear of some intimidation.
I fought against growing sense of agony
words eluding my desired ambition.
But the day came when the lights came back on
Words spewing forth in an unending ribbon....

Nothing to say
do beyond robotic routines
…beyond eluding erosion

Something to say
do beyond repetitive rituals
…beyond evading entropy

Nowhere to go
hide behind cacophonous clowns
…behind vehement vaudevillians

Somewhere to go
hurtle beyond comedic ciphers
…beyond vindictive vipers

Nothing
Something
Nowhere 
Somewhere…
is
Everywhere...

A Fugitive

                                          Fugitive
                                  wandering, nomadic
                          escaping, eluding, absconding
                       frightened alone seeking sanctuary
                                          Refugee

I could see it off in the distance
it beckoned to me, an oasis for the parched
offering honey and the sweetest wine
a promise to fill for a lifetime
the closer I get the further off it seems
a haze that dissipates in the midst
never quite able to grasp, to taste
to finally drink until I'm quenched
the vagueness, the mental imagery
disappears, eluding me...

Light

There's a glimmering light
tiny swirls, shades of gray
booming thunder, rain clouds abound
it's just a sloppy mess today!

Cabbage green skies
eluding to the mist
orange laden sunsets
reminds me of a Sunkist

Birds circling, flocking
with nowhere to go
roaming the earth 
for that shiny glow

clouds are beautiful
a figment of ones imagination...

Wet lines drawn on her cheeks
Trapped in the loneliness of sorrow
Eluding the mocking faces
She walked in the alley alone

A woman so much misspelled
her beauty was the villain-
of yesteryears , now just a scar
of perversion and abuse.

The unruly hair , the stony face
She could not be more pathetic
But who got to care these,
In this vast globe shrinking fast....

the wolf inside him speaks
telling him of his life so bleak
the wolf needs to come alive
to stay alive
or else end before his time
by one man-father time
awakened by the earth's growls
on all fours he sprowls
scavenging through wooded acres he roams
looking for something to comb
devoured by day's eluding sun
knowing deep within his heart
his choice of leaving civilization was smart...

A miraculously flat prison
A site of utter allocution
Bearing witness to decision
Beholding not of retribution
Conversations with it an act of utter futility
Covering does not instill a sense of humility
Dimensionally free 
Damning still is thee
Efficacy is still eluding
Escapism found brooding
Finally, a simple pathway to contrition
Fracture this mirror, my final decision...

Mysterious woman ran in the middle of the night
Yelling with panic the name of her dearly loved 
Shaking with goose bumps at the bad feeling 
Terrible event robbed his physical presence
Eluding a true that affected a third person 
Rifle sound broke the peace of a small town 
Yearning a forbidden love that ended in tragedy
