Short Intersecting Poems

Cobwebs of branches
intersecting, reaching out
Destination sky....

To look at light reflecting
Chaos is intersecting
Beautiful in it's allure
Though interpretation poor 
Easy to misunderstand
No eye to eye nor held hand...

ASTRACTION 

unpredictable
intersecting lines
 swaths of colour
 added
by a  chance
autonomous
process

reflexive
   echoing
intensive
 to coincide
in response...

There is 

An apparent

Lifestory 

Which seems to

Fill a timeline..

Life stories

Intersecting 

With conflict and

Peace and claiming

Understandings..

Apparently......

a distant place
a different time
no intersecting
of parallel lines

too much in common
drifting hearts
analogous souls
unclear starts

love that is lost
without a look
an unread chapter
in a closed book...

The cool breeze on my skin
As I wander through the street
Listening closely to the sound
Of the city's breath and heart beat

People's lives intersecting
Briefly touching, passing by
Contact as evanescent
As snowflakes on alluring fire...

Scattered Shards Gathered

Scattered shards, remnants of Eden,
Gathered to a ring of bright topaz
A simultaneous soliloquy of intentionality
At the crux of intersecting avenues.

There it is 
Lingering in all my fears
A melancholy of things unknown
I feel it ever so close 
Dancing on the brim of reality
So close but never far enough
Nestled deep In my thoughts
Whispering softly it calls my name  
We both dance gracefully 
Our paths never intersecting...

two lives run

in parallel lines

never crossing

never intersecting


our lines run

miles apart

never knowing

never touching


two lives

two lines

always separate

always parallel


parallel lines

meet at the

horizon I'll be

waiting there...

The clock sprints one way
as we walk the other
the hands intersecting 
with our hearts
reminding us
that there was a beginning
and there will be an end,,
A grand expansion
a fantastic contraction
just beyond the black veil
there are no clocks
just the delicate flavor of 
forever,...

Complex geometry,
Lines, patterns and symbols,
Fractals and swirls,  
The universe in its diversity and forms, 
Intersecting lifelines,
Nature's craftsmanship and artistry,
A perfect portrait,
Blotched by nature's foes, 
Mysterious design,
Incomprehensible tapestry.

Their loving cup sits on a shelf
     stained by the dust gathered there
   Next to a grainy photo of the chair
     where he first styled her hair

   Tears trickle 'cross the windshield
     their first and last car
   Lips melting on a screeching curve
     intersecting the moon and the stars...

an aggregate world
made up of many
particles that breathe
that mingle to form
lives that touch others

parallel lives
some are lucky
intersecting
at random points

organisms
influence
each other

far...near
we are

one

formless 
open 
energy 
catapulting 
its 
thought 
through 
the universe 
sparking 
light's 
instant 
entryway
to 
the 
intersecting
slow motion 
crash 
of 
DNA 
its own 
universes  
beginning 
both 
the  
cause 
and  
the  
effect 
it 
informs 
from 
within 
and 
without 
its
new 
encasement 
of 
beating 
pulsating 
flesh

Jesus reduced to a sign
Two intersecting lines never meeting the end
Gods name whispered in death night talks
Sighing humanity humbled by nothing
Chocolate sickness and tinselled flat foil
God the unpowerful unknown and blind
The voice inside never hearing the call
Your creation stares through and sees the mist inside
furtively trying to piece a mixed jigsaw together 
with etheral hands
WE are the sacrifice
You our punishment....

In the field of responsibilities
There are many consequences
Take control of your actions
Indisputable independence
Treat yourself with some respect
Taking the time to transcend
Into your inner desires
Trying hard to reflect
Through those controlled actions
Intersecting the boundaries
To which you have laid
Time to transit
Imagine jumping the wall
Tackling your first goal
Tearing away from your fears
Independently entering society...

One too many times
Our love has been unkind
To the rigors and chills of the snow
The streets they meet
Intersecting the heat
But the cold will blow without heed

To rekindle the flame
Must sound quite insane
But it's all I have left in this world
Yet to feed from the hand
Of another's demands
Could lead to the start of the fall

Ride the wind
Wherever it goes
Don't ask it questions
You don't want to know
The wind will carry you home...

Touching of souls
On intersecting paths
In the same dimension
In the same time zone
It’s a kinship miracle
And a fortuitous blessing

Think of it
Our light’s not always on
We’re not always home

Connecting is a true
Alignment of forces
On a higher plane
A flicker of magic
Not to be taken for granted

Two lines intersect
an inherently 
unstable situation.

Parallel lines
are better
each proceeding
separately in 
the same direction
balanced by forces 
of attraction/repulsion.
But if these change
the lines diverge 
or intersect (see above).

Sometimes two
intersecting lines
may align 
with a third
forming a 
triangle.
Which is stable
but generally 
disapproved of.

Very occasionally
two lines may meet
end to end
and curve
to form
a circle
which is
One....
