Short Openings Poems

Curtains
Openings and closings
Drawing eyes in when raised
Brings fancy color to the stage
Drapes...

what we call stars are small openings in the cover of our universe

creative energy shines through, drawing us back to our origin

Army,
Church,
And
Jail.
Three jobs
Are posted
Every day,
Every week,
On TV,
News papers,
Wall ads,
On Fairs.
Three manufactures
For packing 
Death....

We sit in this room
Window boring the glorious sun
And I close my eyes
For fear of him peering into
The only openings to my soul
With holding the flames
Always, burning for him......

Alone, barricaded can disrupt everyone for great, hours instantly jacking killers lives moving near openings, people questioning; resistance, strayed, torn. Universe versus war, x-raying yonder zest....

Next!...Can I help you?
Unemployed, huh? Humm, let's see
Gotta check my records here...
Nope! No openings
Directions?... Not a problem
See that sign that says - YOU'RE TOAST?

steering blatant revelries, ghouls engaged to death
chomping down streetlight openings in bitter stone
bow walled yew tree drifters, steps of many feet in
shallow parade to pew, the kneel cushion's betrayal
- how the shadowless crave… and the headless sing...

A brilliant sun peeks through dark clouds
And ask the fog to leave
As the moss rose waits for the bright rays
Magenta blossoms to weave

The hidden sun held captive by clouds
Rises higher in the sky
Openings it takes to release 
Rays, earth feed, and joy supply

Unfinished...

Holy climate change, Batman
  Galloping glacier melt, Robin
Rising seas and floodwaters, Batman
  Coastal towns underground, Robin

Cavalier carbon emissions, Batman
  Clueless coal mine re-openings, Robin
Tons of trapped atmospheric pollutants, Batman
  Anti-intellectual animadversion against science, Robin...

he glances back constantly, knowing all hands turn by degrees, they overlap, in the openings and gaps like fingers of a tree, he yearns to see what shape she'll become.

all hands point in the same direction, and the space between is what they share, 'as long as we remember' lies destiny, 'love lasts forever', a guarantee -...

The bird flew
The beagle halted
Raindrops fell, but only a few
The ice melted, the leaf dropped
The ground salted

Regretting some choices, to name a few
Uncertainty looming
Limited openings, naming two

The quest goes on
Not always forward
The sun sets
The object is drawn
People dance
Around and around
Its all chance...

With myrtle and listenability
I undertake the words of the prophets
Memories relapse in an unhealthy fashion
Man the forgetful
this rectangular mouth
compromises loftily
The Moons harsh splendour
boasts its specious context
as marigold and beam
sway across my October windowsill
like salt peter cleansing the pelt
truth is unburdened...

Life a
perpetual circle
with no openings and 
no end but just goes on
days and nights repeating
ceaseless, life a perfect circle
around and around earth spins
so gentle we do not feel it moving
but we are in a continuous loop
created by nature or by God's
hand, that is the debate on
earth's formation and 
creation...

An angel of death with wings of gold
Behind locked doors where souls are sold
Doors whose thresholds no one crossed
Whose key’s have been destroyed or lost
Where dangerous things were kept, 
Where old and forgotten secrets slept
Silent and hidden doors whose openings was forbidden
Till the angel of death with wings of gold was forgiven...

Sudden stops
    and small obstructions
Hinder progress for a bit,
But the vast store of alternatives
Make their presence known.
Unseen entities
    also have been stationed within
Inspirational distances,
All their myriad forms
    in their garments fine,
Find openings to seep through
     into my contemporary
Sphere of knowledge....

Oh beautiful ethereal rainbow sky with a crescent moon and magical mist
Heaven’s openings sharing a galaxy’s imagination with lady of the lake
Peter Pan’s Never-Never-land floating across the horizon in a pirate ship
Hidden in the fog of a kaleidoscopic cloud, giving my imagination a sigh
This is the place where wishes are granted, and dreams are made....

This Grand Opening
I attended: Scene
McDonald’s, Moscow,
Queue extended over
Under Pushkin Square
(Some saw the poet’s
Spirit rise and sniff
The air).  No
Royalty to cut
The ribbon, courtesy
Of Comrade Lenin,
Just some shivering,
Hatless Business Guys
With Cheeseburger Eyes,
Cutting Communism down
To size with French Fries,
Beating back
The Russian Winter
With Hot Apple Pies....

`

Weathered this ancient brick of crimson stare
Lines like abstract graffiti
Painted on emotions

Openings glazed over in tempered glass
Curtains frayed in disbelief
Aging sashes crossing

Deeply formed jagged cracks in the facade
Curves drag down distorted flesh
The mirror does not lie

These scars run deep.
Underneath beseeching. 

Motivated by lies.
Veiled inside eyes.

Holding gazes in so long.
Wrapped up in the songs.

Cycling lover's seasons.
Living singing treasons.

Given a million reasons.
Fighting betrayed meaning.

Breathing down goodbyes.
Trying and finalized.

Breaking apart openings.
Silenced beyond coping.

Ruining times of life.
In  memory stealing strife....

Seems so much is left unsaid,
Leaving regret and dread.
Hurt and betrayal leaves a mark.
Exposed wounds open and dark.

Too much time spent saying goodbyes,
Unfinished lines broken where they lie.
Tears of sorrow cascade unrelenting,
No openings for the mending.

Broken lines in need of repair,
Silence remains full of despair
Years of memories lorn.
All that’s left is treachery and to mourn.

Music notes and exclamation points 
Particles colliding with sight crystallized to form
Spiraling cyclically midst graviton pull 
Grip mind fathom power with thin flavored lines
Tone deafening my lips chap against visuals
Lapsing time stands ground still out of metered sign
Kind window openings screen systematic filtration 
Feeling a wee bit photoshopped  hearing pictures 
And 
Seeing voices...

Dealing with the real world 
Being at odd with every facet and whim
Leaving openings 
Knowledge fills  most pit holes
Keep a full supply in Gods home
The house of prayer we call on
This should be located in the inner mind
Coming by way of studying 
Showing a true system
working together with faith 
This measure is not a give and take
Standing not as a mediocre pull down
This source always abounds
Driven by actions center fold
Evoking others to follow...

Trials and tribulations
A hurting beauty cries
Years of being a slave
Internally in despise

Mental torture bites
Her heart bleeds tears
Eyes of scarlet drips
Release her inner fears

Thoughts of tomorrow
Emotions so in tear
Windows become her doors
In translucent open stare

To walk through these openings
A new future welcomes she
Past trials and tribulations
For now, she is free
