doors slam shut in many minds
empath opens hers...

I ever saw
that wasn't like
that open door
so clear cut
it made my heart
ache....

On Saturday, the L A Rams
Encountered the Monterey Clams
With no and, if, or but
It was open and shut
The Sopranos limped home like lambs!...

virus in the air
some care
not me said Mare
Never gets sick no matter what
loving her resistance, she's open, not shut
virus in air?
She does not care....

When at home its often fast food I crave,
might even be leftovers that I saved,
always in a race,
open and shut case,
thank God for my nuke everything microwave!

love is
that light
burns gold
lifted the sea
lifted you and me
up through
the stars
so heavenly
without gravity
without fear
without doubt
even if
our eyes
won't open nor shut
still 
that light burns gold...

A mockingbird sits on my windowsill,
Eyeing the shelly beans I am cooking
He snaps open and shut his sturdy bill
So intent is he in his window peeking,
He fails to see the black cat sneaking.

a poem is a puzzlebox open and shut
with a chimeraean key. and fay-like
are the enterings it delves, where
a moment is all had. now
and then clinking to the sides. turn
slowly. it will change as if time passed.

GOING OUT-OF-IT  (triple Haiku)

going out-of-it
where time looks back at you
eyes open    but shut

all life is stagnate
not a rustle in the trees
going out-of-it

yet    you are aware
going out-of-it    half-way
life is eternal...

Foot Caught

Down path to door did race;
Was an open and shut case;
Foot in door had been caught
And whole farm he had bought;
Did do it with style and grace. 

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

Be sure to read My Wife 
and Her Computer poem....

Pink petals fall out
Of these obvious cast skies
Intangible lies

Open your shut mind
Is it still your fault this time?
My confined remorse

Every light turned green
Contraire to what you believe
Give this one more try

Intangible lies
Out of obvious cast skies
Pink petal fall-out...

The three-letter word
we'd rather not hear
and many a soldier
  no longer holds dear

A word that means blood
and guts spilled for what
promising peace talks
  once open... now shut

A word that strikes fear
in the hearts of the bravest
plays Taps on trumpets
  for Tragedies gravest...

Eyes open wide shut
Or closed fast unasleep
It does not matter
For we still unsee the lies
 
We hear the unscreams
Know the untruth
It does not matter
For we still compromise
 
Alone on my unbeaten path
Traveling inside this once
Looking for truths within
To be me it’s my last chance...

Oh I found myself embraced
 in the everlasting arms
~
 My soul He's so covers me, He covers me
My eyes where closed now there're open wipe shut
~
My sins and sorrows laid on the cross
He covers me
My eyes teary
~
He covers me

hey,y'know what?
there's always a but
life's never clear cut 
nor open and shut
no matter what -
there's always a but
whenever you feel
you have a done deal
9 times out of 10
someone will then-
admonish tut,tut
which simply means but
it is without fail
as plain as the tail
on a boardinghouse mutt-
there's always a butt!...

muse as you choose
      what is there to lose

   but

         when syllables 
                uneasy scan
it is somewhat
          a lost cause
                  if eye or breath 
mis the pause 

open or shut

structure 
           helps a refrain along

constraint 
      with freedom 
  
a verse
              theme song....

There’s light in my room
But nobody's there
A shade over the window
To hide what I bare

Strange noises at night 
But nobody's there
There’s a picture on the bed stand
Doors open and shut
A candle burnt out
And clothes scattered about

There’s a mirror in the corner
But the reflection is bare
There's a light in my room 
But nobody's there...

Watering Frowns


      Do you need to cry
          Eyes drip watered skin
              Feeling as if you could die
                 Always the loser wanting to win...

      Do you have to lie
          Mouth open to shut again
              Feel as if you will die
                   Your upside down happy grin...

Birds at your window
Are irresistibly fair
Tempest in my hair

       ****

Gusto in the dust
Blue windows open and shut
Birds come out in lust

     ****

Two blooms hold a bird
A starry moment of trance
My doors are in dance

    ****

Birds keep pecking on
Purple stress of restlessness
Till the verse is born

The sound of your voice made me shake inside
Your mouth never opened yet my ears heard your words
You reached out and touched me without using your arms
As I looked upon your lips I was kissed
My mind was open and shut by your very present
I was deeply moved

i caught
what we
we're talking
about finding out

perhaps 
i was pate 
spread on cracker
pieces that fell into my

beard but
i heard what
i thought was an
open and shut case but

not my
place to say
hey i think i knew
this from before but not

knowing when
before was and so
turned and looked in a
mirror and saw somebody i

don't

As I go to the wall 
in the room I see
 the vision I look out 
the window and I see
~
I stand before a mirror 
my eyelids flicker open the shut
 I see myself within the  pupils
 staring deep I see my soul 
and it's at peace
Through my eyes I see my soul 
and it's at peace

Truth has the power 
to unlock under the carpet of lies 
hidden agendas covered up secrets
 
Open and shut case proof behind scenes 
we are drip fed day by day by media 
controlled by its source rubbish 

Issues to corrupt peoples vision creating demons 
within reality and moral thinking a world can see 
as one body in a whole circle of good living souls...
