Imitation Love

though glittering more
All that glitters is not gold
but imitation

imitation gold
wife imitates husband mood
imitation love!

Silly Lilly

Once there was a miss by name Lilly,
Imitates to make others appear silly.
Pent-up feeling unleashed,
my pain of rejection eased.
Bloody Lilly, no good grief. Very very silly!

A Talented Parrot Named Jaster

    There’s this talented parrot named Jaster 
    Who imitates his ill-tempered master ~
      The master goes ballistic
      Over Jaster’s stylistics ~
    Jaster echoes him better and faster

A fan of the lens

photography is an obsession of mine
love taking snaps by design
the capturing of moments that align
my passion for chasing sunshine
and seeing how its beauty imitates the divine

Real Vs Fake

Life reflects real , fake is deflected . Only real can hold steadfast in the spend of time . Only fake is shattered by the pressures of the world . The authentic last , never eroding but strengthening . Only the real respect real , fake merely hates or imitates .

A Random Thought

The rustle of leafs, imitates the sound of the rain.
Engrossing us from listening to,
The wind whispering to the trees.
A secret so fragile that if heard by un-pure mind,
It would wither.
The winds said “One apple tree growing in the desert makes a phenomenon, 
But many make a paradise.”

Mummy's Little Soldier

Look at little Danny, playing with his gun,

Running around the garden,

Mouth full of chewing-gum,

  Hiding in the bushes,

Rustling through the trees

looking for the enemy,

Crawling on his knee's,

Suddenly he spies them,

And aims to take his shot, 

The bullet fire he imitates,

With bubble-gum pops!

An Early Winter Morning

An Early Winter Morning

The freezing
winter morning
greeted us
with its chilling hello;

Above, a glowing full moon
reflected the coming heat 
of the day—the sun’s
golden shadow at the horizon;

What a way 
cosmic nature imitates 
earthy life—full moon hanging 
around—waiting for old man sun 
to show his weary face.

In Admiration of Emily Dickinson

I know I cannot be the only one
who reads Emily D. just for fun!

Quotes her feathery Hope poem
Understands it's ok not to roam

Not thinking her a fuddy-duddy
But rather, a true bosom buddy

Wished to taste her gingerbread
Wants to meet when we're dead

Considers her a kindred spirit :)
Imitates her style (or-- near it)!

Absent Lighted

Since birth we fear the darkness. We wear what it contains. We fear the shadows.
But what is dark without light? can we not have a shadow without a candle bright?

Darkness absence of light creates
Shadows our own form imitates 

Don't fear absent illumination, give darkness a chance
don't run from your shadow but invite it to dance

All Dem Gate

There is a saying life imitates art
And in this short skit Politics is explicitly part
Allow me to explashiate
The flood gates has opened up mate
Email gate
Section 34 gate
NGC gate
David West gate
Prison gate
Life sport gate
South to North gate
Blindfold gate
And over spending Bills Gate

This Is Winter

white fluff on branches imitates coldness of the wind
bridge is slick, icy, treacherous, lying in wait.
one lone lamplight tries to add warmth, to no avail.
This is winter.



                                     frosted landscape
                                 glittering ice covered bridge 
                                        i see treachery

Tell Yourself the Truth

Jealousy and envy differs;

 

Jealousy is mild;

Envy is wild.

 

Jealousy may not be seen;

Envy is a sin.

 

Jealousy progresses;

Envy regresses.

 

Jealousy is suppressive;

Envy is expressive.

 

Jealousy admires;

Envy conspires.



Jealousy imitates;

Envy eliminates.

 

Jealousy wishes to heal;

Envy wishes to kill.

A River On Sunday

A River on Sunday


Daybreak
Ghosts dance on the lily pads
playing dodge ball with the creeping sun
escape into the unreachable blue.
Lone heron, imitates the stillness
of its own reflection.
A river follows its never ending,
ever-present, meandering course.

//RIVER//

Vicious Cycle

The brush imitates your eyes
You eyes imitate the green grass
The green grass only grows because of the sun
The sun only sheds light because it was so
And because it was so we ask questions
We ask questions hoping someone will answer
We answer these questions under pressure
(But who really knows?)

I look to the sky thinking I've done this before
If all we do is copy then what's original?

A Search Beyond Quest

My thoughts halt at your lips
beyond lies your silence
to start a voyage in snowy dialogues
to find a meaning of futile life
and trash of the myths.

Our entwined life has chosen
consolation of past,
We are still alive
kicking and reveling.

A shadow imitates the God
meditates under the unyielding tree.
The fugitive may find some greatness
in insult.
The vastness of loneliness
ultimately takes over.

Ancestor

A ripple across a pond
Disturbs the calm
A snap of a branch
Tells the hunt is on
Colored in earth
The prey dissipates
Absorbs the world
And imitates
The hunt draws near
He can sense his prey
The taste of fear
Lead this way
Not far now
Dinners near
Around the bend
Behind a brush
A clever beast waits
For the signal, 
Begin the ambush
The hunter tries to escape
More prey stand in the way
Suddenly he feels fear
As spears draw near

Isolation

Never has a soul made feel
The utter weight of what it lacks,
Than when by chance it’s made to see
Beyond the chasm of its lonely depths;

That peering on the world, it sees
A spark that imitates true flame,
So from that cold unfeeling sleep it wakes,
Beguiled by sudden hope to rise again;

Though waking only does it find
The traces of an empty shell –
A barren corpse devoid of warmth and light,
Wherein it longed eternal flame to dwell.

Wind Power

The flame stands straight
On a candle burning itself
In stillness of the night
An old-authored book at the right
Side imitates the fate
Of a beggar’s palms
Waiting for alms
 
The candle and the book
Lie on the same table
In the same room
Under the same roof
The bitter air outside
Evolves into wind
It permeates the bamboo
Walls that veil no taboo
(For there’s nothing to hide)
Unable to read, it turns the pages
Without a wish, it blows 
the flame out to darkness

The Life and the River Meeting

life imitates,
the river imitates
life...
life is all
movement,
the river is turbulent,
sometimes life
is backwater,
the river sometimes
stops...
life hides
your feelings
in the depths
of the spirit,
the river its secrets
in the depths
from your bed...
Life and the river,
always follow
in front of...
pioneering
borders,
bypassing
obstacles,
seeking out
horizons.
just stop forward
in blue infinity:
The river, the blue of the sea,
life the blue sky...!

13th Man

I smell dirt and flowers
as men hang nailed in blood.

a wanton feast,
mouths gave audience to
field wine in dusted bottles.

Birds of wisdom,
wings in salt,
I stand the unwelcomed

I cannot walk in this hunger nor do I seek pity,
this path shows me how rough my hands are
and how weak my faith.

I decided not to burden myself and so 
I walk behind people.


are these nails in my flesh or is this blood nothing
more but sweat and tear.

at last art imitates life.
