morn's glow on faces brimming

green shade for plant stems ginning

the bleak sky-

a black and white filter
inks the nigrescent sky with the
Day star.

Sunrise Tableau

Light beckons this morn-

first rays filter free

tepid sprigs trip up

life left still, sans rest;

worn breaths hesitate

red eyes dissipate

Premium Member Time Machine

Memory wanes, portal to another time; beings diverse filter past upon a screen past illusions future delusions empires now tattered by time’s blade.

Vanity

Vanity

I moisturize with money
I bathe with brands
I Frolic with fashion
I look to get fans
I post for attention
And filter for fun

Stuff it It I’m done

Last Goodbye

Who can measure the
speed of fear

Who can filter the strain
of lies

Who can weigh a lost ounce
of love

Who can package
—a last goodbye

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

Laughter

to be captivated by a smile
to know all the great while
laughter comes to those

through a filter then exposed
a chance to reflect
I bet your sorry that we met ?
follow your dreams...

Through the Painted Window

Shards of light filter   my heart

 pulling back     the black

 leaving streaks
                          . . . of joy 

Where hope was   lost

                 . . . life breathes

Premium Member Dadagital

He presses down the keys on the machine
putting four images on the page
Manipulating them in a cubist manner 
with his magic filter 
He puts a halo around each
Like Christ
Man Ray goes digital

Heartbreak

Myriad stars glitter
Sad music strains filter

Dreamily seen drifting
Seemingly your gifting

Horizon’s eye awakes
Sirens all but forsakes

Towers of rage thunder
Showers wept asunder
Form: Verse

Premium Member Hear, hear - Ha, ha

   No more fear 
     of what I might hear 

   My ears filter out the rot
     'cos my hearing is shot

   I only listen to what I truly desire
     Ha, ha ~ My device has an amplifier

Becoming What Is

Memory
is 
tomorrow’s 
filter
Straining our
 history
distilling the
past

Each year
a screen
on what
becomes us
On what
eludes us
our fate
— recast

Loneliness

A sunset born out of winter charity. Two hearts sweating at the thought of monotony. Was it a betrayal too close to home? Roses divorced of thorns in a sea built on the tears of a bride with no filter.
