P eople with belief
A scribing to a cause
S pirited in action
S trongly focussed without pause
I ntense of feeling
O bsession that overawes
N ever straying - ALWAYS yours....

The house is warm, 
But I feel so cold.
Without your love,
I grow so old.

Without your smile,
A focussed light.
I feel I may, 
I feel I might,

Begin to fade,
And slowly die.
Without your side,
Right by my side....

LASER 
Laser beam you are so focussed
All I wish is to be like you
Single colour uni-directional
Every life's path I wish be so
Ray of coherent energy with uses plenty wish I 
                        tune my life like you!

I suffered,he laughed
I filled up  his voids, he created mine.
I looked for roses,he gave cactus
I looked only for his heart,he focussed on my body
I healed all those stitches,he gave me wounds..
I ignored him,he started following
I left him,he cried
I didn't hold any grudges,he holds guilt....

isolated
 conduits 
   of frontal forms 

poses portrayed
      figurative 
          fantasies
              finessed

obsessed introspectives
intense
         expressive lines
    in focussed reflections
 silhouetted studies 
              fleshed out

 sensual depictions
  
       emphasised

Massachusett's Willianm Cullen Bryant
The first 'All American' poetic giant;

Focussed the new nation's eyes
as his poetry became widely recognised.



Bryant(1794-1878) found fam with 'to a Waterfowl' & 'The Prairies' & also helped lay the 
foundations for 'American' poetry as well as creating Central Park NY...

It sticks to the underside 
of what's out there,
a shadow
on the other side of knowing,
waiting, growing  
and creeping closer 
when eyes are focussed 
elsewhere. It prefers
not to have a name.

One day, it will break cover
and pounce or slip quietly
through an unguarded gate.
Only then will you be able 
to give it a name
and by then
it will be too late....

Focus in, on the leaves
Changing colour, changing texture
The way they dance in the breeze
A changing daily show 

Focus in, on the sound
Nut focussed tales from hurrying squirrels
The crunching leaves on the ground
The peaty comfort earthy smell

Focus in, on the branches and bark
First adorned, now bare 
Distant places beyond your usual walk
Revealing once hidden vistas...

Understand and see me
Recognise my lines
Notice any nuance
Don't trail behind
Be there in the second
Free but focussed
Symmetry
Kaleidoscope style
Tumbling ideas
That collide
With ethereal synchronisation 
To be understood
How beautiful
Soul to soul
Swirling and binding
Recognition
Connection
The outsider
Has met
Her kind

Listen to poem:

Your presence soothes me
My breath matches yours
Rhythmic and steady
My thoughts radiate away
Until I'm floating
Awareness of how we align
bringing beauty to my soul
I don't know if this is a moment
or all of eternity
Existence is here
Focussed 
Dream sequence that doesn't fade
To be real is by your side
The contradiction doesn't escape me
So I hold your hand, to be anchored
to a feeling and place
That lets me rest...

Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses??

----------------------------------------Focussed Love-------------------
Her gorgeous eyes
jeopardize men,
in ties of love. 

Glasses she wore
to abhor them,
ignore passes

Focused lens woo,
inside view deep
"I too love you".

IF IT WASN’T FOR POETRY

If it wasn’t for poetry, I’d be free
Not a reluctant slave to my muse
Yet with just one occasional verse
The universe suddenly is focussed
Words that singly lacked meaning
Can combine and multiply emotion
Such that it made one draw breath
Seeing a glimpse of something real
That would not otherwise be born
Nor inspire some unknown reader
Perhaps even unaware of the craft
With a link across time and space
...

Hidden in the shadow, 
I feel safe and alone, 
As the projecting sun,  
Has no devious tone.

The helios intends light, 
And only opaque objects, 
Obstruct form and trueness, 
Being as harmless as insects.

I can be completely myself, 
In the shadows minute light, 
No focussed, angled camera,
To rectify, scold and fright. 

Waiting for them each day,
At four, halfers or five o’clock,  
They’re so warmly relational, 
About my wayward block.
