MESSAGE

Miles of ocean cable
Mostly North Atlantic
Many attempts it took
Meaning could have been lost
More likely weak signals
Morse code was the default...

The heart is a panic room 
the doors slide shut 
super quick

all is silent.

behind the metal walls
there is no music 
but you can hear 

morse code

Listen to poem:

behind a rain cloud
the sun peeks
in and out
long enough
for a quick message
in morse code

ignites night in flashing dots
gleaming mating calls ~

Hope shines so small in the gloom

Irreparable brain damage,
concussion,
you have a brain tumor:
end of discussion.

You translate silence
with morse code,
twitching finger,
blank picture frame
in the mind's eye,
but do you see 
or hear
or feel,
when we grasp your hand-

O, you the broken one,
you the motorcycle-flung....

The moonlight was just right for talking.
You hardly talk, that’s reason enough not to fall in love.
Do you know Morse code? Maybe we can tap it out.
Wait, are you trying to seduce me stealthily?
Can I just buy a vowel?
I'm not insulting you.
I'm describing you.
I’m being candid....

SOS of unmeant needs
subliminal messages 
overtly stated 
meant to be 
strictly adhered to
by all who saw the 
emotional morse code 
a continues distress single 
set out for all to witness 
but only those who possessed 
the hearts secret decoder ring 
could decipher the message...

i send a message 
in a dark passage 
repetition pulse 
genetic impulse 

you do repeat back 
via a small crack 
repetitive tone 
you begin to moan 

all things stop and start 
skin not far apart 
a very hard code 
release a soft load 

our messages sent 
intimate time spent...

MAGNIFICATION
------------------

Close up, the rare metal

shows me its greyish form:

no dots or dashes here.

A disappointment,

for I heard once a scientist say

that under microscopes

the dots and dashes seem to bleep

a Morse code that would save the world and more....

just composing
thoughts Berlioz
my favorite but
since my wife
is sleeping i can't
bang away an etude
on our piano

so i will
turn up
the volumn
of my finger
tips that tap
morse code
supposing

that you
caught that
as if a coon
dog barking
that i've
treed you but
won't let you

down...

What's the purpose of the tail
on the squirrel who's
practicing his Braille--
his body hidden by the tree
with only a tail visible
to me?

Sends he Morse code
with that appendage
to other varmints of his lineage,
that he's found a tree that's
rather fine, grace a' someone
who protects her Pine?...

3-11-2013 Love is a wonderland
Love is a wonderland ,love is carnival,
Feel while you can,be in the marvel,
Smile to yourself and who ever your with,
The sun has gone down and the moon is on the rise,
The stars flicker as in Morse code,
Everyone ,everywhere,look up and smile,
For one second we all become one,
Love is a wonderland,love is a carnival....

If you are baffled bye
Or incapable of deciphering the Metaphor 
Neither Morse code or semaphores 
Or Enigma 
Will trigger 
That what which you could not figure
Because if don't get it
It wasn't meant for you
Metaphor is just another description 
For the obviously 
Confused 
1st time and 2nd time 
Gripping Yarns 
An educated joke
Above the common folk...

You will not need an enigma machine
or a code breaking book.
A knowledge of Morse code
or a semaphore instruction book
this message is real simple
and not hard to understand
there’s no secret hidden meaning 
and it comes straight from my heart 
May your sunsets be a crimson red 
and when you rise out of your bed
may the  coming day be beautiful 
and you find good people in your day ....

The look; eyes dropped in mist
Punctuated with Cupid red hearts
The little notes, the love cards all ending with sweet forever undying love.

The touch, sending shocks and sparkles in the eyes;
Saying in non verbal syllable  Morse code "love you".
The Music of Phil Collins, in a gentle streaking form piercing every resistance
Body, soul and heart all in one whole beautiful Love Orchestra....

A hypocrite goes against what they say they believe.
Trump complains about lying then lies himself. Trump
accuses others of being a hypocrite when it is he who
is actually the hypocrite.

Trump Has Been a Hypocrite

Off more than can chew Trump always bit,
And not only that he has been a hypocrite;
SOS has dot;
Is a very lot;
In Morse Code he didn't know there is a dit.

LSMFT is Lord Same Me from Trump.

Memories Mirrored
                  by Odin Roark

A Boy Scout essential
The polished metal card mirror
The unbreakable monitor
Made to master Morse code
Used to measure wanna-be whiskers
And such

So it went
From puberty to manhood
Hall locker
To gym locker
Toiletry bag
To duffel bag
Afghan's mountain-dead
To triage hospital bed

Wrapped eyes needed little
Of the metal card mirror now
As blindness tearfully engaged
The enslavement of memory...

Swans - thrump-thrumping
practice take offs and landings

Geese honk
file flight plans

Muskrats build
mud and stick domes

Beaver maintenance crews
make ready

frogs retreat
while the mud is soft

Osprey screech
above naked woods

A doe follows
a scented path

Turtles secure
their mobile homes

A woodpecker
sends Morse code alerts

The ice shell
creeps

Winter exhales
across the pond
