Bridge across planets
Loudspeaker to universe

Leading the Blind

Charted lanes of custom,
 complacency alights
familiarity trumping all
—mindless in the night

The Choo Choo

The train whistle puffs
Frail familiarity
A world passes by
Muffled train sounds die away
White clouds of smoke drift behind

Figured It Out

You're a metaphor
      Unfamiliar, expressing 
               Familiarity!

Awe and Eeriness

Constellations shine
over the maroon cave' mouth
and eerie darkness.

Familiarity Unknown

Pure Black Velvet grasps  
 diamonds that hold endless thoughts-
  we know so little.

Fragility In Familiarity

sometimes the strangers
come as helper suddenly 
where known are doubtful
loyalty of dog- stronger 
where human avoids Savior

Premium Member When I A Poetess Met My True Match

Have I really found my true sincere and safe sanctuary
In something other than my once onesided poetry...?
Upon meeting; a reunion filled with familiarity.

Hope

In the distance familiarity
touches my very soul.

Something so powerful
it draws me to itself with
the expectantcy of things to 
come just call it hope.

Premium Member Unconditional Love

I always sense your sincerity,
I am aware, how we are void of familiarity,
But know always, I understand entirely,
What it means to love others unconditionally.

Late Love Early

Defeated dusk light
Heart beating to the dozen
Waning dawn darkness

The Blue Flies

They fly like bees,
sense like nose,
and greedy like ducks,
to eat  dirty things.

I hate them a lot,
because of their life,
familiarity and greed,
to eat dirty food.

Premium Member True Love

Familiarity breeds contempt they say
Just as absence makes the heart grow fonder
Is this the reason couples fight and stray
Seeking their true love way out yonder?

Who were these people whom I feel for familiarity?
Who am I really, when finding this clarity?
Who are we in this time of reenacting memories?
Who were we in the history of our stories?

Trick

Dont brake the silence
dont say a word
my miscalculation was big
my mistake was bold
I cant see in your eyes
what I was looking for
familiarity played a type of trick
I had never seen before.

Familiarity Does Breed Contempt

Familiarity Does Breed Contempt

Contempt can often be bred by familiarity,
And an ideal environment appeals to parity;
We tried to find,
But left behind,
Fear from despair they created by disparity.
