Short Invisibly Poems

harp 
to the mouth at the mic

on one side
the awe-maker
on the other side
the awestruck 

harp
to the ear at the air

invisibly gained
bleed the crowd...

Unanswered Love, like whispers in the night,
Invisibly it lingers, hidden from sight.
Yearning hearts entwined, yet kept apart,
Silent cries, echoing in the heart.
Oh, sweet ache of unrequited art....

The space animated. The place migrated. 
          The taste of possibility, pigmented, 
          invisibly, orientated by shifting atmosphere, 
          arousal, of fickled nothingness'?
          impregnated?...

Long live the sky!
Invisibly
Invincible
against solar radiation
the earth’s atmosphere
Long live the sky!

Long live the sky!
Obscurely
Oblivious
protection for
earth’s inhabitants
Long live the sky!

Survey as artist drafts her masterpiece,
enclosing space invisibly across.
Then single-handedly, she will increase
the center parts to form unseen valise.

dsappears before your
very eyes
if nothing sees you
do you vanish
invisibly written in white next line

lets see who checks
never mind
Horizon ends beyond my toes
wonder what do you see
on the other side of it

For my next trick
i will make yo disappear
bye...

WHEN

When life review is an unconscious calling,
It is closure that’s invisibly in the room  

When muddling in the mire of memories,
It is evolution that’s your angel of bloom

When emotions of the past are churning, 
It is salvation that’s your future to groom...

Rusted wire against a tree
Year by year recedes
Inside of the circling bark, invisibly
Consumed. Relentlessly, the oak tree feeds.

The countless rings of outer bark
Enwrap the wire within.
Thus Time is absorbing me. I mark
The circles choking me.  I’m taut, stretched thin....

Winding my yearn to discovery's burn
'round your lips, as you riddle in whispers
Stripping the sugar off winsome lit words
which invisibly slide off your fingers
Crumbling the retrospect into alumnus
of catapult reason and rhyme
Always remind me and circumvent bind me
I'm yours just as much as you're mine....

What!
I didn't hear you.
Are you near?
I didn't see you.
Is it you?
I cannot smell you.
I cannot smell the odour of oppression!
How can you enter so silently..
invisibly..?
How you scare me!
Do you dare me
to ask
why?
And do I want to know the answer?
How you hide in shadows.
My nemesis.
My fear.
My other one....

Fingerprints make us all definely unique
These swirly skin lines tell our personal story 
Every interaction, even a glance it could be
Leaves a fingerprint on all of us invisibly
So let's leave in others, what we want to see
The future is in our hands, at our fingertips actually.

Never seek to tell thy love, 
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told him all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! he did depart!

Soon as he was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly 
He took her with a sigh....

The whole wide world
a giant clock
a face of illuminate loveliness,
the dial a shadow,
forever nonchalant
passing through each day
invisibly each night.
The human race,
the tick and the tock
the pulse the vibration,
the spring coil of gravitation,
with a need not to over wind
the celestial key.

I’ve been wounded
Brutally stabbed by the unsuspected arrows
That shone invisibly in the midnight hour

I’ve been taken out
And did not visualise the contemplation
Of the opposition as it swung a fatal blow

I’ve been upper-cut once, twice, thrice
And unfortunately pierced in the heart
The foe disguised as a friendly accomplice...

Blank images of times gone by
invisibly reflecting opaquely within.
Expecting a response, but none given.
Empty pages turned, why?
Nothing said.  Nothing read.

Like an extinguished light
Or the flip of a switch
In total darkness, like at night.
Years, as life, slip away
Unable to locate any fond memories
Searching within, still nothing to say....

In the mysterious heat haze all shimmers,
And seems lost in the fond memory of fire,
Until stars shine through in night glimmers,
And beauty birds sing invisibly upon a wire!

Darkly mingling in dusky evening black magic,
And caressing the moon in heaven bound pursuit,
The whole world distorted by plumes so thick,
As the vibrancies of summer sunshine go mute!...

Disappear from view, and remain...

 Invisibly out of sight. You're foul to me, and you...

 Stink! The mere sight of you makes me sick

 Go away; just go, and keep moving! The word...

"Ugly" is written all over you. Are you deaf? I said...

 Stay far away from me, Devil! Don't tempt me!

 Trouble my soul no more. It's safe with God.

She cried 
All the tears 
Of her body 
Of his heart 
Of her mind 
Until 
Only his soul 
Can reveal herself 
Can transform himself 
In the flood of the Nile

This is the way it is 
That flew away
The first Imperial Aquila
Lonely 
Heavenly
Invisibly
In search of fourteen pieces
Stolen
Scattered
Dismembered 

Of her Love

Mr Curveball was a drifter visiting from left field 
Mr Curveball only stayed long enough to be a fleeting thought, 
a brain sneeze, his presence often indicated by frowns, 
robotic owls looking around, he was a head scratch, 
fingers on a chin, occasionally rubbing slowly
invisibly introduced as a spaghetti of oddity until he moved on
- a man dressed as a question dressed as a man undressed...

Chameleons calmly disguise. 
Hiding can always be a surprise. 
Anywhere it can be, but nowhere to be seeked. 
Mindlessly changing, so that it'll never be peeked. 
Even during the day, no one knows where it may lay. 
Leaping away in their own little way. 
Every chameleon invisibly walks from color to color. 
One other animal like it? I believe there's no other. 
Never do they abruptly arise....

When I, a black man, invisibly commute
Passing every sight as good as mine
I must be sensible to the solemn truth
The mantle of my soul by God's design
Is made absent by accidental blindness
But because, like me, earth's still in darkness.
Let us then embrace face to face
For I'm outwardly the all of your race.
Night provides a bridge across my skin
Love provides a door for you to come in....

Shadows

I am the ghost in the room
Seeing, not seen
Listening, not heard
I can feel my breath
hear the heart in my chest
Living invisibly

A shadow nothing more
Stitch myself to you
Ignored
Out of rhythm,out of synch
Your light so dim 
I disappear

I reflect a different Light
One that fits just right
I cast my very own
Shadow
I am myself.
With your light
I see the shape of you
In me.

Suddenly I’ve walked out, into the air…
All bluely about, what am I supposed to do? 
Dance! Dance! 
Under the willow tree. 
Blue air, fresh air, come in….  
I welcome your necessity.
Around me. 
In me. Through me. 
Out. 
Invisibly intimate.  
Between all and all between, hold me tightly with your weaving winds.  
I never knew I lost you, until I found you.  
Your thankless endeavors…..existence. 
Such is your glory....

Listen to the beats flow, forget all my worries
Calms me down, in the most hectic of hurries
The soothing relaxing sound
Lifts my feet up off of the ground
Lyrically, Invisibly
Sleeping emotions woken through words
Mean so much to me
Heals my hurts
In a better reality
Takes me to the clouds
Never coming down
Brings me to a better, enlightened, relaxed state of mind,
Without this means, I otherwise would not find....

she is like a chinese vase
(i do not know which dynasty from)
most probably of Min one
with the course of time
the smithereens 
have broken 
(almost invisibly)
you can understand
only 
if you pass a finger
on the mouth 
on the neck
on
but only if it is bare 
without a glove
(velvet or of tulle)
i do not know if i am doing it
but sometimes
in the morns
a light fog
is spreading
then i change my slip cover

it is light
and usually white...
