Short Perceiver Poems

Becoming you,
I perceive your face-
   in body swap.

        *

   The stakes were 
high, when I missed the moon,
   in the desert chase.

         *

   The soul
was trapped in an earthen pot,
    while catching the shadows.

A voice perfection has conceived
Where once a fledgling had perceived
Divine an ingenuity
I now have found humanity

Yet pulses through Great Britain's veins
Your lasting boyish innocence
All I've struggled to obtain
A child's heart was its penitence

Of old perceiver, you are now portrayed
By cruder hands. Oh untainted mind!
Your rhyme and verse relentless time has weighed
Yet found have I a heart behind....

Are these words
Or just li(n)es,
Forming meaning to host
But bubkis* to most
Do I write what I say
This scribble, transcription
I detect some conviction
But if said and not heard
Another blissful, pragmatic
Exceptional blurb
Once exchanged
To receiver
Once translated
By perceiver
It may lose it's intent
Could ignite, not prevent
But the message is taken
Clear, action, now
And, G-d forbid, if mistaken.

had a potential thought...
just a 'minute ago' of

an 'encapsulated idea' ready
for a poetic discussion...

of a concept that a 'perceiver be'...
thee 'time-moment

itself' as a numerical presence...
that is an 'awareness of being'

with respect to the concept of...
a 'count knot' as a basic 'meta

for' some consciousness complexity...
where-in 'one idea' may

consume 'or' reproduce...
itself as an 'other

notion' with an appetite...
for 'change able' ideas
