Short Myopic Poems

Opaque
and detached-
a politician's
retina inflamed by 
the facts...

the chill of death fills the room:



quailing, faith lost flees out the door....

river of red lights 
snakes miles through valley below

The dying inside:

Myopic windows;

daylight fading

on a glass table top;

dead flies milling,

unaware....

With visual field microscopic
Some utterly blind and myopic
Consume to the max
As a luxury tax 
On those needing help philanthropic...

Maybe

Your understanding

Ought to

Penetrate beyond

Icing and discover the

Shadow knowledge
Veiled understanding
Naive minds
Recalcitrant souls
Unyielding hearts
Bleak tomorrows

Sometimes(now) I dislike
(hate) indecision
many fates //now//spill
horrified goldfish meeting
air/myopic eyes; live cataract-like
but still & now I unlike
that Inde-CISION cuts me 
through the ghost-bone

The owl was given nocturnal sight 
The hawk long distance to see when in flight
The vision we have is what God desired
We see the world as our God deemed we required
I wonder if it’s possible there are things I cannot see
That could be right here; right next to me...

The tulips know.

Put them in a vase.
Observe myopic stems
heavy with thirst.
Observe choreography
that lifts lion heads
again and again in
different calisthenics
until blowsy with life,
no petal left unfolding,
they seek beneath bowl 
and table the steady 
pulse of life...

myopic, feaful
    wading pools of life
  bubble-bath comfy
    drown out strife  

  urban jungles... pristine meadows
    intimidating shadows
  sans lever
    cocoon's forever
 
  sleep-in days
    commencement delays
  kicked to the curb
    do-not-disturb ......

______________



and beauty's blind too

reacted to or distracted by
as every mother's act

is true
no forest need

resolve its trees
the lion-fang's

myopic hue
the earnest creature's

bitter due
as love content

confounds the fool

Decisions 		-	Divisions
Ingenious inventions
No will may stop the wickedest intentions
Particle accelerate
Universally formulate
We are division
Infinite density
In the vacuum
SPACE containing reality
Holographic projection
A myopic third dimensional vision...

Beauty in the gray head
bitten by time
effortless it comes
changing the body

gray and very aged
limbs becomes feeble
eyes are myopic
strength eludes and feeling musty

obsessed with the idea of rejuvenation
the old prays to be young
the young prays for old age
life have it own way
old age is a gift...

Millions of myopic men
sit with hand on pen
to write out monthly checks
and pay by crook or heck
to keep their many toys
(promised to all good boys)
and for which they'v toile and sweat
just to keep and get
more of everythin
and, suddenly, comes the sting
as the multiplying mania
shows them overdrawn again!...

Emission
of light rays from
the core of
my being,shows true
traits,treasures,
fear;lust and love
staring at nature`s good works.

Without them
I can`t behold,
pretty legs,
pleasant faces
and attacks
by wicked ones,
which have made me myopic.

--- grave and turning --- ,


Creation nudged forward,


the sun indeed rises.



High empty windows


brighten blinking;


myopic windows


open wider:


thin ice laid bare.



On looming walls


dawn's Light gathers breaking


---  afternoon, night


turning in tow unseen,


February full circle....

I do miss them everyday,
To state the facts
I know ill never get them back,
Sleep that's what I lack
In
Conversational
Understandings
We got each other,
because they where just- that- smart
A want to interact,
with us,
as equals,
but we where aware,
they where parents.
This,
Absolutely okay.
The vision may be myopic,
but I will never,
blame them.
For being naive...

circus haiku

coming of circus
summers biggest fun event….
wait seems forever

eight year old girl sees
glamorous trapeze artists…
through myopic eyes

diary explodes
magical high flying acts…
new life’s ambition

duty intervenes
diary lies unopened…
trapeze acts a dream

advanced age hampers
high flying acts beyond reach....
bungee jump perhaps...

Losing them wasn't in the plan
Or even contemplated.
So myopic my eyes since childhood
Their loss can't be overstated.

Glasses on the bedside table,
Last to take off, first to put on.
As my fingers fumble for them,
Sadly, I must admit they're gone.
Squinting, I try to see the clock.
Everything blurs.  Is it time for lunch?
Standing, I hear a definite crunch....

So my aunts dying - 
    a dispassionate aside
        over coffee, Saturday
No point in crying
    bitter death taken in stride
        and a sugary frappe

How fit the topic?
     Heated chemicals imbibe
        Caffeinating hollow sounds 
Reflect myopic
     Her death we fein to describe
         with muffins and coffee grounds

It’s years since I’ve been writing poems
So, searching for a topic,
I sometimes might repeat myself,
The outcome quite myopic.

Of course, there are some subjects that
Require repetition
And when I write, I needn’t ask
For anyone’s permission.

Yet on occasion, what I’ve penned
Is destined for the shredder,
For there’s a poem – same theme, but older,
That’s a whole lot better!...

Myopic Microscopic

Microscopic myopic;
Melanoma Glaucoma;
Abnormalities.

Part of my wishes;
Song group became suspicious;
Serendipity.

Whippy da do die;
There must be another way,
My guitar to try. 

Society boon
So started playing the tune;
Ended up on moon. 

Moon is a sexist;
Man who you cannot resist;
Should add to Trump's list.

Ho ho Jim Horn

Myopic inner tendency
From conflict flee protecting me
Dissolved no bonding simplify
To live a way of peace

But challenge me repeatedly
The purpose of I cannot see
Testing that already strong 
Which stands alone unaided

The mantra lies controlling 
Chains invisible abounding
Rubble mind in darkness sounding
Hopeless walk the lie again

THE GOLDEN DEER

The allured mind roaming in the blazing desert
Simmers in the pores of the swirling sands
The moist vestige of sane sense evaporates
The grains of desire leap to turn into mirage
Shimmering in metallic tinge of the sinking sun
Runs away from the myopic vision blurred
Like the golden deer disappearing in elusive oasis
Unreached beyond the trail unending.
