Quarantine idealism

Then impose your ideology
Without any ceremony...

ethereal and enthusiastic

intricate indicator of idealism
tantalizing tale of temperance and truth
youth utilizes levity gladly...

truthful admissions
daisies flit through brain
a calm takes over

laugh together
with not at people

comfortable together
unafraid 
idealism in love form...

I am a man who has a
constant taste of fry oil
in his mouth.
Like pond water laden with the
fluid of rotted fauna
I am Rusty, lovelessly satisfied
gladiator of apathetic idealism...

There is something in absolute nothing ---
The purest form of exact idealism ---
Cleansed of all prefabricated points of scrutiny ---
The essential quantity of virtuous emptiness ---
Which is all that I have left....

Pollyanna can do,
Sounds optimistic to you,
Idealism for me and you,
No need to wake up blue,
Women are a capable crew,
Most stuff we're equal to,
Put on your positive thinking cap,
Pollyanna can do, that's that....

I do,
I am,
I can,
I will,
I can, Icon, Iconic
I, idea, ideal, idealism
I, ignore, ignorant, ignorance
I, I am, I am not, Image, immortal
I, indigo, industrious, indicative, 
I, imagine, illustrious, impetuous, immodest, me....

The snow becomes slush
its whiteness is gone,
it turns into rain
as people in grief.

Passing sails glide
like gondolas
in old Venice,
no lover sings.

Can sunset
bring surprise,
happiness...
with real hope?

Gladness
isn't found
here....

Sunshine magic for you and she and we.
Universal feelings of joy for free
Nonetheless how can I make you see?
Sunshine’s powerful vibes calling for thee.
Hope and faith surround us now you see
Idealism pounding in inner glee
Enthusiastically embracing the real me...

Sunshine magic for children no matter how wee
Universal feelings of joy for free
Nonetheless how can we make you see
Sunshine’s powerful vibes calling for thee
Hope and faith surround us now, so whee
Idealism pouring in our inner glee
Nowhere else I would rather be
Enthusiastic beams uplifting thee...

she speaks.
breaks.
waits in silence,
for an ending,
or new beginning.
the wait,
and time,
eludes the mind
forever
like the sierpinski
triangle.

she knows she doesn't.
memory is at full capacity.
empty.
reboot.

love awaits
in idealism
measured by hearts
and minds.

two sparks fly,
but does it matter?...

Every bond I thought was eternal strong
Was so ephemeral to the other
They treated me like a popular song
I was the rhythm and not the lover
I am the misunderstood
The temporary gain for a temporary good
Ah idealism, the cost of you!
The world is full of lonely people today
But none like the altruist
None like him inflexible in belief....

Sweet apocalyptic frailty
seeps from weary sighs

Punctuated words we love
or love-words we despise

Body-rocking self-hatred
that drags us from the light

Idealism, perfection
thieves that rape us in the night

Car wrecks and too much sex
things that make us feel

taint of success, abject failure
things that make us real...

P eace denied for profit and idealism
A dmiration for false leaders 
N eighbourhoods run by gangs
D evotion manipulated to be misunderstood  
E nlightenment set on fire 
M ovements become violent  
O pportunity means take 
N ormal is never enough
I nsight means you started it
U nite is a riot
M ajority fifty plus one could be expensive...

Idealism
versus
reality

In hope
that Quixote
prevails

Disappointed
again
reading the trends

Materiality
draining 
the grail

Peer pressure
determines
what happens

Not some
high minded
value or tome

Greediness trumps
what our virtue
holds dear

Self interest
hitting 
— closer to home

Sometimes it's like a bloodletting
and the womb is the target.
Open your legs and let me be
sucked up into the bloodstream.
Come, we will walk hand in hand
down lighted streets 
as I construct an idealism more damning,
more hysterical, since sometimes I
feel infinitely outmoded, infinitely second hand.
It is so ludicrous now, I feel compelled to laugh....

Are you pure enough?
Do those you support in religion, politics, 
Media and entertainment pass
The purity test?
What about your friends, lovers,
Children and parents
Do they pass the test?
What about your pets?
Where does it end 
This desire for consistency and purity
Of purpose and effect?
Or perhaps a better question,
Where does it begin?

Confined in her own twisted idealism
she wonders if there is a way
to punch out of this hell

Integrity be damned
The world no longer sighs 
with the old, sick, discouraged or troubled

Each for themselves
Failure feeding upon failure
Bullies winning

She tucks herself inside
fearful of the throng
that does not even
know she is alive

and is not looking …....

Lovers gather, yelling "carpe diem"
Lovers kiss, living with totem
Lovers fall, counting walls
Lovers forget, crushing falls.

Love birds chirping as one
Under a tree skipping one by one
Above the bassinet where cuckoos nests
Below the cradle are loving breasts.

Rush to me and sail with me
On a gondola in Venice we flee
Gaping romanticism in idealism
Dying dualism without ostracism....

Page upon daunting page;
Chaste white awaiting impression.
A vast archive, consisting only
Of untold stories,
And unsung songs.

From blank to blemished,
Vision must fill the void.
Meaning is born to idealism,
And to intellect.
Conception is the key.

Emaciation is only cured
When emancipation takes place.
Endless possibilites are written, 
Upon the blank slate.
Emptiness evokes evolution....

Dragons and a dragon lord
And the flood of fire.
Confused centre of discord
Spill and spilling of blood.
Armors, spears and swords.
And there went the fire.

The sky blue
Wore the eyes, rage of grey
Shouts, hails and wails
The dragon and the prey.
Until the moon hue.

For nobility
Death disgraced
At the honour of dying
Protect the king!
Guard the castle!
For nobility.
We are expendables......

Who are you?

Who  are you? 
What's  there beneath. .
The man the lady  of glory .. the scalp of idealism .. 
Re-curved from  desirability.
Who are you...
 Constant youth of inter optimism..
You?

Who are you?
Soul smile , a helping hand?
Someone you feel mercy for?

You ..Waking up.  
Yesterday  was the same  . 
But yet it's another day. 
Whats around you.
Undoubtedly..
You are still you ....
