Short Intimacies Poems

Little moments; big ideas; grand schemes and flops!
Intimacies shared; secrets held; pennies saved in a box.
Friends laughing; enemies kept close; bills; brooms and Mops.
Every breath a different thing; a rose; a bird; or an Ox!...

The fat sonbird WARBLES a love song 
as it sits aside 
a GURGLING brook that SPLASHES 
shards of sunlight into the trees 

who MURMUR their intimacies 
to each other 
as the splintered door of a nearby shed 
SLAMS shut in the wind. 

The noon bell RINGS.

Burn the buns,

date the chums,

range rants and take the gums,

summon the slums...

Stake-out for intimacies~
awaiting the chimes jumping infinities,

languish lore-

the entanglements roar!

Richer than  tryin' in the doors,

silk'd as saddlin',

tricky as the mind we're in....

How proud and unmoving this winter oak
which stands erect, alone,  glorifying itself-- 
those flaked leaves mocking autumn's request.
I observe such chilled indifference, arrogant like me

who cannot twirl like a  warm bamboo and display
tender intimacies in any human relation. Aloof,
I cannot find kindness to share my own shade.

In the gaiety of poverty
I’m happy as you please
paying  my rent
with drunken smiles
celebrating my choice
of subsidized afflictions

Its not me you see
clothed in the sun
bleeding thoughts of glory
toiling
amongst the colorful dead

I sweat black earth 
share scars with straw hats
whisper intimacies into 
restless pools of light   
as green bananas
fall from the heavens....

She Walked IN 
Her steps trembling.. moves all tender
To walk In or Out..
Her purity….her lost splendour..

A jewel … 
A pearl untouched ..
Of Joys unexplored…
Of intimacies all crutched …

A right to be Happy .. a right all abused…
Of a soul all free ….. of hopes all bruised …

& Thus…
..She decided to Fly ..
…On Wings her Own ..
….On Passions ..that no one could Buy ..

A tree, fully flushed, 
curves under a light peach pink sky.

It expects to slip 
into the descending dark, 

to watch as a lamp casts 
a sun-like hue from a window 

within deep salmon sienna brick-
moth wings press against the glass.

The leaves are minute beetling shapes;
the trees exchanges intimacies in the wind-

a whisper in a rustle..
a nod to each other in the Dusky breeze....

A SILENT DECEPTION
Intimacies of our lives,unspoken
essentials of the everyday routine.
Taken for granted,matter of fact
hidden away behind the façade we
present to the world.A mask contrived
to present an image conceived
to hide our true personality.
A silent deception,born of necessity
cripples the reality that encompasses all.

You may hear me recite this verse  and most of my PS poetry on you tube under my pen name ichthschiro....

Blind souls
New and unknown
Raw with delicate desire
Yet, virginistic in the knowledge or lack thereof
Making for beginnings anew
Sharing both space and time
Creating intimacies that live in the form of memories...
They can't see
Therefore blind souls 'feel' as a means of communication
With barriers rising and falling
The moment is suspended and held still
Speaking without tongues
In a lingo that creates sounds...
Close and endless all remains....

Strange intricacies penetrate 
Slowly...
Muses invite moonlit intimacies
Breathing in soft delightful rhythms
Music revealed, shimmering ravishing 
Spells of 
Seduction...

Ambition burned...
Will...
Now changed to complete 
Fantasies...
The ego's born,
Consuming dreams of the future
Desirous dreams close in.

Damsel Dreams 
Of several things;
That Drifted upon
Blazing embers of desire,
Envisioning man’s shadows
Damsel danced like 
Heavens fire....
