all answers abstain
Its dream open ended

the more futile the answer

life en pause

The answers
linger in the darkness
While questions
shimmer in the light
All reasons
alive with expectation
Open ended in wonder
—and delight

worthless

eluding summation
endless quantities revealing
nothing

golden dreams of reverence
awaken passionate providence
open-ended relationship
I love you more than
--- your heart and soul

I broke my mother's heart
To please my friends
Some bridges where not built to be mended
They are open ended
Like Ghost Station's
And platform's 9 and 3/4

Exchanging passionate pleasures surrounding myself yet
Open ended streams of love grandeur facade never denying
Those heart strings being strung played by consumers band marching

By Dawne Zacharias
Poetry is an
ever evolving
idea moving to
a new becoming
as the
opening of a
cedar chest
enlivens the senses
it creates a new essence
ripped from its original author
it becomes a new poem
an open-ended adventure

Are the questions far better
than the answers?
Do they contain the possibility
that definition never will?
Is the magic of perception
open ended in wondering why?
Is the essence of life itself
beyond what words can ever tell?

It rings; open-ended shape of a bell,
Especially a flower -but to ring?
Only to a heart and fills air with smell
With scent and not sound yet it still will sing.
Air made so fresh by such a lovely thing.
Bell Flowers fills air with its stifling sweet,
Bells blessed by Lordly rain and suns kind heat.

My tears are streaming
His eyes were beaming
My thoughts turn to past acts
His thoughts expose the cracks
My never-ending mental torture
His tools are put in order
My race is coming to an end
His race is at the first bend
My end is nigh
His begins on a high
My time here has ended
His time is open ended

You may never know
Why that recruiter never had a job
Not for him, not for me.
He was a wide-eyed blue
And end of a story plot
As we need bodies in open ended doors
Barefooted writers and bold writers too.
Where you may never know the next platoon
Bermuda triangle or a mere emotional trap, in a day light saving zone !

Did not wish to love another,
To turn on this brother,
Platonic now, or lover,
Thinking of him under cover,
Should I hurl fat bloomers,
Passing by, his zoomers,
Each has a fantasy,
Would joyboy love old me?
He smiles and waves,.
Blows kisses I save,
Time takes care of stuff,
Can't love him enough,
So unexpectedly,
Open-ended booty!

Green grass on the ground of possibilities
The geese sing the praises of common victory
Open ended, the landscape stretches individual imagination
Feel the breeze caressing the inner soul of man
Confidence is the current hue of the sky
Clouds of pride dance gracefully on top the ground's ceiling
Eroticism in simplistic and naturalistic gestures

You left the question open ended,
Yet the answer you knew.
What little price you had to pay,
And you couldn’t follow through.
Confused and abandoned,
Your eyes give you away.
Before they were so clear,
Covered now by clouds of doubt.
It all started with a question,
You knew the answer to.
But it ended in a shout,
And it’s all because of truth.

Verse
This poem is; an open-ended rhyme to myself;
In an emergency; break the glass, to save thine self
I've seen more than anyone should have to; but my eyes have more to give
They can't take; what you can will through, if you believe in the need to live
I'll be there for you; caring and true, my promises are walls; no sieve,
My devotion; not all that I give to you; defeat, I will outlive

A word ain’t worth a hill of beans.
Grafitti for computer screens,
a word can’t tell you what it means
(the thing it’s in existence for).
Each age forms self-defining views,
infatuations and taboos,
its West Points and its Waterloos,
but balks at what the butler saw.
The less that’s said, the sooner mended.
Nothing’s ever open-ended.
There’s people want to be offended,
and so it shall be, ever more.

Black plastic bag
discarded on the bridge
writhes like
an injured animal.
A paragraph of
birds in the blue
of the sky wing by
grammatically correct,
but open ended until
the commander in chief
changes its configuration
with punctuation.
A fleet of wild geese
flying their colors
barge in like
small battleships
in minor invasion.
The equation
some of us make
is: what price
Freedom?

I don't chirp very much... anymore.
I prefer to show case this journey in stanza.
Those open-ended cages that shooting stars and rattlers
occasionally escape from.
I choose not to be around the "them."
the earth stream is cascading with "them"
the users
the flame throwers of hurt and abuse
the spoilers of the soul
Polluters of good dreams.
I prefer to nest in a maelstrom of verse,
and the wonderful shadows they breed.

Please give us a topic, at least just a clue
I have no direction, don't know what to do
Do I scribe what I know, or write from the heart?
Or do I quote Shakespeare and try to sound smart?
A ballad, a sonnet, a three line haiku?
Or try to be clever, and try a senryu
Perhaps using penta, and maybe i-ambic?
Dactylic or pyrric, it's sending me manic
So next time a subject, please tell us ahead
And I'll write something different to be a blockhead

Verse
Stern and forgotten
Able people started
Placing together the world
In the way we wanted
Never showing fault
Earnestly following
Many hearts within peace
Open ended love
Given freely in life
How do others react
To the history they’ve created
Do we smile in our past
Or are we ashamed
Please do not corrupt
May we bring together
Only the good in life
And leave behind
Everything else undesired
