in each breath 
                    whispers from a forest~ 
                             symbiosis...

Pear,
cabbage
and melons-
in harvested still
life.
A
witty
juxtapose-
as her cleavage
show.

How could I win her over?
How may she be mine?
Tell me how to woo her:
My dearest valentine!

Tell me everything:
The oath I need to know;
So, she could be with me;
Together, juxtapose....

The words merely borrowed,
to then juxtapose

Each Poet the debtor,
whose lender forgoes 

All lines duly tendered,
with verses inured

The beauty, the order
—new feelings assured

Poetic dyslexia
  the words juxtapose

The meaning in crisis
  where God only knows

Poetic dyslexia
  all feelings collide

Emotions in conflict
  —a verbal divide

Composers compose
     Translators transpose
   Opponents oppose
     R.I.P. in repose...

   Lovers propose
     Doubters suppose
   Bikinis expose
     Writers juxtapose...

   So many words end in 'pose'
     I'd continue ~ but I'm indisposed...

Joy (Pleiades)    

Jettison leaden thoughts
Juxtapose light and dark
Join me in spreading the
Jovial mood of love
Jump with pure elation
Jocund spirits outwit
Jealousy, hate and fear.

Sunlight in a blue sky
Dapples in and out of cottony grey clouds
Warming then soothing in turn
Two retiring humans under a tree
Amid a hundred shades of green
As a large yellow monarch
The king of insects
Glides and flutters by
With a sense of purpose and delicate grace
In perfect juxtapose.

Juxtapose two conflicting minds.
Against one another they tassel.
Never to complete their argument,
Nick is stuck as mediator.
And it is not a fun job.

Proposition after proposition,
All movements are mirrored.
Rather than agree, they fight.
Kind Nick is torn apart.
Everyday he worries about the outcome....

images
of
    short 
        isolated moments 


configurations

     saturated 
            with suggestion

 symbolistic in style

influenced by

sunlight on a a wall


haunting insightful
 a narrative 
       in the enigmatic 

juxtapose impressions

of
our
    every day moments
arrested
    in time & space...

To adhere to any subservience,
 i kindle the whispers in my head.

To juxtapose my beliefs with the worlds, 
 i sit back and savor a frigid beer. 

It is at these times that stately minds  
 conceive the grandest of offenses.

The expansion of one’s own apreciation; 
 in search of richer wisdom.

Fabricated coast, they arranged a brigade
Aggregated to oppose, braving the waves
Saturated stones, awaiting decay
Exaggerated to juxtapose,
The real contained by the fake.

Professing control, they replaced the coast
Repressing the flow, sustained only to erode
Acquiescing the blows, an unstable repose
Depressing the both, the wave and the stone....

Dubem, without a doubt in me

Understanding the feminine

Because - there's no other me

Emotions, climbs-heart on nine

Must those dreams kill you?.

Ojukwu, you can feel desires

Juxtapose, oh! Our dear hearts

Unmixed feelings or ires 

Kwanzas for you,from my arts

Would love to catch your crazies

Uptights within, crucifies frenzies....

the constant
music in my mind
melodic loops
and melodies

transposed lines
juxtapose the left
brain video that
could be a photo

of you
for you
to me

your face filling
the screen but only
your eyes blink
as your silver smile

stays the same
all the while
my soundtrack
plays back around

again and again
the electric guitar
synapse riff of
Crazy Train...

Find your sweet spot
Know your fine lot


Word wit knows flair
As rhymes now air


In the stray wind
A touch unseen


Juxtapose plot
Frame thought by thought


Know in your heart
Uplift that arts


A succinct flow
Now truly shows


Here by the yard
Words forfeit hard


Time meets space brisk
In verse set risk

a prime stream makes her course
along niger’s foot-path
a juxtapose of ancestral headstones
& there: life sings like death?
& there: death cries into life?
for ancients are new arrivals at life!

o, a new cry ever rents this sky
along niger’s foot-path
now, greeting our drumming sky
o, a navigator of a mystery-path 
lay on a fragile bedside seeking attention
a weird thunder of a rainy commotion!...

Just suppose,
you juxtapose
date and time…
early riser,
back home
before
you’re supposed
to go. A riot,
that it seems
my brain
pauses, supposes
it knows
everything,
but the calendar gleans
the truth,
the text reveals
I’m all
mixed up.
Most of the time,
I get it right,
but,
once in a while,
my brain
misfires,
however,
I’ll not fire
the old gal -
I’ve depended
on her
all
these years!

ABSTRACTED

 an elegant
obsession
 transformed
 from the absence
 of light
beyond black
a
created complex
of smoothness
in
 surfaces
absorbed
by
reflected light
so
 hard to exploit

  a
 fascination
with luminosity's
potential
 to create
to juxtapose
&
 overwhelm
in swathes
of
the
normal

such
a
duality
of
the
delicate shadowed
then
 merge
to
 a free rein

Colour intermingled 
in the spectator’s eye
Divisions juxtapose 
 ‘as is’ moment ..dot.. by dot..
frozen forever 
as a ‘still-life’ shot

Colours in contrast
 one next
to another
patiently painted
dab by dab
Planes into particles
pigments of paint
in patches react
divisionist,
 pointillist    juxtapose
into our eye colour flows.
Meticulous,mechanical
the illusion
into shape
palettes of the fleeting 
made permanent...
