Short Motion Picture Poems

Your love used to be
A major motion picture
Made in Hollywood

Now it means nothing
It seems that Hollywood failed
In making a star...

Theremin first used
ground-breaking motion picture. . .
lots of booze-soaked scenes

Once there was a man called periasamy
directed a motion picture “konchamkamy”
fiction, the genre he despise
romance, he loves with kisses
bloody worried of getting certified “adults only”.




****”konchamkamy” means “show little”...

How quickly does time pass
  once slow-motion frames 
as if in pause 
with little to no fast forward
  now ache the focus in rewinds and hold;
stilled in some interlude surreal
  with wonder and awe
of life's motion-picture show, 
amazement
 at the years gone
 now remembered
on the screen of life....

an extreme feeling takes over my body when i hear your voice
it befuddles me in a trans
Abrupty it dawns on me that i'm in love
my world begins to spin looking at her unadulterated body
Covered with allegiance
Her beckon signals me to relax and breathe
this fictitous scene is of a motion picture

Thick like knuckle sized sheets of LSD
Her hips swung just like the doors of my virginity
With great ease I grew aroused by the rhythm
That produced the beat of evolution

How I imagine gently seizing her hand ever so tight
And holding it for only the universe knows how long
Occasionally I ponder on whether or not she knows
The lovely effect that she has on my bones...

One of my favorite movies         Is probably a bit obscure        They Shoot Horses Don`t They       Dancing marathons for the nation`s poor         Hours turn to days       Round and round we go        Stop and your out        In this motion picture show       Not a western           As the title would make you think          Watch and be told         How far the human spirit can sink...

who gets the credit for the lightbulb, Dad?
Dad scoffs, easiest question he has ever had
That is Edison son, Thomas was his first name
Ask me again, and I’ll tell you the same

What about the motion picture camera, who invented it?
Dad is bamboozled now, but determined to not throw a fit.
His wife? He guesses, making his wife smile in her cutest way.
Edison dad! yells the child, who runs out to play....

Rose of my heart.
Happiness to this soul.
Our first encounter,
inexplicable,
Hypnotic,
Like a motion picture instead.
World cannot break us apart
like Bobby and Betty.
Laughter written all over.
Your smile my smile,
your tears my tears,
your joy my joy,
your pain my pain
one heart we became,
one being we became,
My rib.
Indescribable yet personal
and beauteous.
Unfathomable
Distance insignificant
but what was and is....

Grain Of Sand – Haiku

wind gathers, fills dune
grain of sand hides, rock covers 
desert cries, missing



NOTE: from the author - This poem hopes to become a full length motion picture one day, in Technicolor.   It would have a cast of billions of miniscule sand particles but one of the grains went missing.  The desert is still weeping dry tears, (a/k/a “Desert tears”) we implore you to return it if you find it.  “Every grain of sand is precious.” is our motto.  ES...

Listen to poem:

Double Feature 
David J Walker

Every today 
	And
Every tonight
10,000 ways to
To capture each in 
High gloss 
Black & White

All in sequenced order 
When touched turned into a
Moving motion picture 
Framed in Technicolor

While I take my seat
At the border 
Repeating the lines
That were mine
Now printed and cut
The best left on the
Editors floor 

And still,  
I come back for more
Another double feature 
With my name framed 
In the lights of the Marque...

I smile, a forced smile, while inside am no smiles

I walk, in different beats, while my one walk that I love sits on the curb

I sing, not my kind of tunes, hidding my sincere rhythms somewhere in the dark

I laugh, for the camera, for the motion picture, not from the inside

I dress, new dresses, new accessories, new make-up, different styles, to keep up with the appearance

I got my act right, I do not care anymore, shameless.....hollywood me, should be getting an Oscar....
