Eyes on me,
People watching,
In my direction?
Can't they look somewhere else?

Feeling uneasy,
Discomfart rises, too.
Afraid to mess up,
Afraid to fail.

Eyes are on me.
I feel pale.
I freeze.

I don't want
The attention....

SKY  FLOWERS



Butterfly flowers in the sky
On  airy petals  they  fly by

And colors surprising as the sun in Kerry
Suddenly  bright  between blossom and berry

Silent, scentless, restless, catching
The eye of people watching...

Standing proud
Holding my ground
Wearing a smile
Instead of a frown
Looking forward
Never looking back
Because what’s done
Now is in your past
So keep on moving
Leave your head
Held high cause
There are so many
People watching
You tonight....

Tsunami

People watching
Small waves rolling,
Sea birds chatter
Seeking shelter,
Tsunami approaching
Island sanctuary.

People fleeing
Water smashing,
Buildings leveled
Trees uprooted,
Bodies floating
Out to sea.

Tsunami!
Survivors
Counting
Blessings....

Music playing
Gentlemen leading
Ladies following
People watching
Bodies touching
Energy pulsing
Feet stepping
Fingers clutching
Rhythm flowing
Hearts beating
Spirits soaring
Zealous dancing
Always dancing
Couples dancing
Life's dancing.

In a smiling crowd his smile stood apart, in a museum he'd look like a state of art.

As in the sky flew many a colourful bird, she had a easy way with expressing herself in the word

After a long quest extreme, in him She found her poem's theme.

So if it hurts, she'd still take the Chance, With a crowd of people watching, with him she'll always dance...

I could spend hours people watching
Human behaviour is so interesting to view
Silently observing others lives go by
Curious as to “who are you”?

In my mind I form scenarios
Of the strangers I see
With coffee in hand
I watch intently

I look at individuals 
Their lives I do surmise
Wonder is this just your public persona
The real you in disguise!...

I see the people watching,
Waiting for mistakes,
In this seas of fish,
We are all the bait.

Perfect is seen as average,
As the average becomes estranged,
When the best becomes expected,
The worst is what entertains.

‘cause no one cares if you’re good,
They all want to see the bad,
So don’t be surprised by their laughs,
It is honestly quite sad....

i took a walk outside
see what i could see
wonder in my eyes
..people watching me..

day was dark and cold
autumn in the air
searchin' for religion
..children stop and stare..

a king without a country
a joker in the pack
an ace inside my pocket
..diamond in the back..

a loner on the street
lost-among the found
i'm on a distant corner
..only one around.....

An airport is the perfect place
To look at people; every face
Is worth a glance and then, as well,
Their clothes and shoes, to try to tell
Where they are from, since likely they
Don't realize they are in display.

Their voices may provide a clue
But I prefer a silent view,
Imagining the varied lives
Of friends and loners, husbands, wives.
It may seem impolite to gawk
But that's expected in New Yawk!...

The color fades from black to gray
but while i sit the needled play.
The junkies, human monkeys, in mass array
seek their new ways to get off today.
Some head to the mall to praise their corporate gods.
While others seek seek sex with any living broads.
The rest are all wrecks that need to be used.
The weak seek the strong, a need to be abused.
The filth parade of human waste
all have a drug and they need the taste....

Gogglebox
A T.V program about people watching T.V
If this is not the beginning of the end
Then what is
A program about people watching T.V
Is this the best we can come up with 
And they are now considered celebrities 
And we have to pay a license fee to watch this crap
God help us all if this is creativity 
Switch off the lights and unplug the phone
When time is spent watching our reflection 
Back at us reality is bust...

I love life.
I love my family.
I love being kind.
I love laughing.
I love music.
I love being happy.
I love meeting new people.
I love being helpful.
I love long walks.
I love people watching.
I love reading.
I love writing.
I love real stories.
I love listening.
I love trying hard.
I love reflecting.
I love fresh air.

When things feel like they are careening out of control
I come back to the basics
of all I know....

Perhaps I am a frightful boor,
But your looks were a visceral lure.
I stopped and I stared.
What if I had dared
To ask your name? But I demurred.

I'd have followed you without a thought
By your face I was utterly caught:
Like a fish in a net
My whole world I'd forget,
And misfortune would then be my lot

People say it is bad to be shy.
Maybe not, as your smile was a lie.
Looking back I can see
You are stronger than me.
I'm glad I could not meet your eye...

Something it out there on that tree
And that little critter is watching me
He had his binoculars up in the air
And so did the creature, to be fair

Two watchers having fun watching each other
Brothers from another mother
The bird was speaking in his headset
He’s not eaten his supper yet

Why do you people watch every day?
You are a bird, it is not our way!
This was from his wife, Cardinal Clementine
She thought his people watching was out of line...

Dreams

Latest dreams: loaning a 
small sum of 
money to 
the daisy patch on the 
east side of
the front yard; at an early stage in 
development preaching not elementary language to
claylike people; watching expressionlessly bark and 
stick porn; furthering the cause of
adverse effects (it’s better to not live a 
lie); encouraging the black birds on
the cement path out front to
never go after 
money, benefit, profit, power, and 
so forth by 
unprincipled means.
