Dream Life

An endless dream,
Created by me during my life,
Full of peopled worlds,
And created yellows,
But if life was richness,
And forgetfulness emptiness,
What happens when we remember our worst nightmare?

The World He Once Gazed Up At

Clear, sincere, friendier eyed.
Purer that, star-lit!
Which beauty of love, now dimmed.
Daily and nightly.

The world he once gazed up at.
Child, peopled for it.
All he feels since burns through him.
Hateful thus ugly.
Form: Rhyme

World, You Are

Too near, peopled for you.
Too distant cannot be!
When my needs, a mind's at play
Unwind for sanity.

Guaranteed not to rip
Nor losing, leave no trace
With that, of hoisted thoughts, now found:
Clearer, calmer kite's space.

Premium Member Except For Politicians

life is like 
a long cartoon movie clip
not as well done as a Disney

and the universe 
is peopled by poor imitations
of cartoon characters

not as monstrous sad or distressed
as the real cartoon characters on the screen
except for politicians

Musings

Could the words have come?
Could I have made whole worlds,
peopled with the good, the bad,
and all the happy and all the sad?

Could I have dared to eat a peach,
and boldly painted outside the lines?
What might I have made of my life if
I had only tried to fly without  wings?

But life is always as it wills itself,
forever as it should be, as it must be.

seductive sensuous
    enigmatic ambiguous
prolific & 
             precocious

        exquisite 
           expressive  eyes
sublime
     in close-ups

     yet all in the detail

intimate interiors
               interwoven
with

Bridges

BRIDGES

There are those problematically  structured:
Garth Brooks had burning bridges “one by one”,
London’s was always falling down, ruptured,
Paul Simon over troubled water would “lay him down”.

But there are also excellent bridges in no peril:
Like those of  Madison County
Peopled tenderly by Eastwood Clint and Streep  Meryl,
And those in Paris under which the bounty 

Of Edith Piaf would make your dreams come true.

Premium Member Our Place In the Middle

She, a left-brained leftist.
He, a pretend-monk of the Middle Way.
She aches North,
he rushes South.

The moments traffic clog and smush and crumble
into a jumble of hours...
The island, a respite, from the weary
us apart.  We come together in our
middle place.
To forget erase
the dour the dint the dirt
of the peopled world.
We come together in our
middle place.

She from the Left,
he from the Middle,
and its all

Right.

Premium Member Solitude

Solitude, aloneness, quietude
Replenish the spirit
Calm the soul
Open mind's heart 
Spilling light into darkness
A milky puddling across time

Gather the wildflowers 
To your bosom
Join with kindred folk
Clasp hands
Listen to the echoes

What a mystery solitude 
Peopled with so many voices
Swirling and eddying they 
Reverberate and explode
Cracking open the quietude
Leaving each alone
In the midst of so much activity

Premium Member In the Groove

Listen to poem:
Into the groove of unthinking action,
file after file of manikins pack in --
beings above see the circular groove
peopled with puppets, all on the move.
Deeper yet they wear the groove down;
manikins' footfalls forever resound.
Of "outside", they now all think no more,
their eyes forever fixed on the floor.
Mechanical movement is all they can know;
movement defines all the life that they show.
The speeds of the dummies vary a bit
as they wear down the floor of the pit.
