The short and sweet

I am ticklish. and silly, and sometimes sarcastic.
I like conversation, the more intelligent, fantastic
I wrote this poem just to answer you
as a testament to some of the things I do.

Smiling While Pole Dancing

Tall IV polls pass in the hall 
      Outside the patient bathroom
         The owners flash smiles
             Ignoring the wires
              Basic society 101

You Are Inspiring Me

Its hard to turn my head
I am fairly inwardly focused

Its hard to catch my eye
I do so much time flies

Its hard to catch my imagination
but you can do it every time with inspiration

You are inspiring me - Artimus 10/11/2023 (C) Susan Manley

That way with words

If you sit down and do it
Eventually you intuit
and the words flow with rhyme
and you can do it anytime

They do write themselves
from your unconscious self
And they flow and they rhyme
and are a fun way to pass the time.

Don'T Short the Short

Listen to poem:
An itty bitty rhyme I write
                 for a reader's delight.
       Scintillating, radiating words of hope
              or meager fun rope a dope.
                For short is not my forte,
                  philosophy contorted.

Who Am I?

Listen to poem:
I am an artist
I draw and paint
And watch the world go by

I am a romantic
I love and laugh 
And give all till I die

I am a person
I live and breath
And fight for justice for us all
 
I am me
I think and feel
And follow life at my own call

Who am I – (C) Susan Manley 1985

I Want To Know You

Listen to poem:
I can see your soul
Through your eyes
Past your superficial exterior


I can know your feelings
In the tone of your voice
The way that you move
 

I can understand your thoughts
In the things that you say
And the way that you say them

 
I want to know you – Susan  Manley (C) 1985

Capture

Intense emotions flow from you to me all the way across town
For though what you say to me is only in text, I feel you all around

You touch my heart and open my mind, my senses running free

And if we should meet... 
Just us two, you could run me to the ground

Love to Last the Test of Time

I drink of your company
and dine on your laughter
I bathe in your kisses
and glow ever after

You fuel me forever
We are a force divine
and I expect our love to last all tests of time

The Music of Me

Listen to poem:
I am two different people
Superficially the same

One inside the romantic
and totally right brained

the other is pragmatic
intellectualizing all

A dichotomy of thought on two different keys
a melody together, two harmonies apart

A symphony when played
cacophony to part

The Music of Me -(C) Susan Manley AKA Artimus 1986

The Twilight

Listen to poem:
Over the mountains the purple comes rolling
lit like a backdrop silhouette glowing

Soon to meet the valley in cascades of light
to make day of what has been night

The sun with shine
 the stars will fade

And some will sleep
while others awake

And soon once again
that purple will rise

and push the light out
from the skies

The Twilight  - 1985  (C)  - Susan Manley

But Only Half

Listen to poem:
Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve
People wont understand what they see

Don’t leave your heart at someone’s feet
For that’s no place for it to be

Carry your heart before you
In the palm of your hand

And consult it every day
On those things for which you must take a stand

Your heart is half of you
But only half

But only half (C) 1986 Susan Manley

The dilemma of dissociation

Blackest night is my heart
into its depths I can not see

All my life is mists of gray 
nothing plain for me

I look deep into your eyes
and know what we had is gone

And still I see the shadows of love lost...
and wish it not bygone

Perhaps I will never learn,
at least that's what some would say

And all my life, wishful thinking
controlling all my days

The dilemma of dissociation (C) 1986 Susan Manley

Goddess of the Hunt

Listen to poem:
You are pursuing me

As I dash across the fields of intellect, among the
flowers of humor


You are pursuing me

across logic, through brambles of emotion and across
large vast bodies of physical intrigue


I know a hunter when I see one

As I usually hunt on my own


You will find me an elusive prey

as I have long learned to keep the baying hounds and
even those that lie in wait at bay



-  Goddess of the Hunt, Susan Manley (C) Artimus, 10-11-06

Enigma Is no Mirage

Enigma Is no Mirage 

Creation station
that's you
imagination
every idea
becomes a new thing

You are unstoppable
I love it about you
I am so damn proud of you
and love to be around you

You make me think all the time
and spark me up in time
nothing is out of line
we just love to be together...

My Enigma is no Mirage
even with his idea barrage
they are very tangible
so many are substantial!

Enigma is no Mirage  to Peter 1/10/2024 12:56 AM (C) Susan Manley
