I looked for love in all quadrants
scroll all imaginary routes
  only calculated the perimeter of solitude...

LIMITS


The limits
Of wisdom
Are indicated

The perimeter 
Of folly

Mark Carney:
A smart, gifted man and that's no blarney!
Politically speaking, he was on the perimeter,
but now he's Canada's twenty-fourth Prime Minister....

The dark is pure light for the wise,
light is much dark for liars...
heaven has exact perimeter for the non-sinner...
the earth is too minor for the fugitive... !...

Tell me, my friend,

How wise is it for someone 

To strive to build a permanent residence
 
Within 

The perimeter of a transient life?

I walk around
I go right in a straight line
Go seven paces then I turn left
Making another left on left
Taking big steps
cumference
the enclosing boundary of a curved geometric 
perimeter, border, boundary
I walk around...

Wise is for one to act 

within 

the perimeter of his capabilities 

as these 

by God have been defined 

for 

successful him to be 

and 

to gain serenity of mind!

Bent wire horizon,
the day is a broken perimeter.
There is light
between the barbs
but you have to squint,
pretend the fence still holds.
People flee,
their knees are bruised
by each narrowing dawn.
The fool on the hill
blames the sun
in his eyes....

Proximity is the major factor in who tickles your tickler
The odds are small of tickling ticklers beyond your perimeter 
Even though if you met      
All worked up you'd get
The sweetie down the streetie will most likely click your clicker...

Andie thrummed a guitar
                                       And lost her perimeter
                                             Kissed a bull
                                              Not so cool
                                   She had to smirk and teeter...

You have to cross the perimeter,
  for your border to expand

Stepping over the line,
  of yourself to demand

You have to follow that inner voice,
  calling out sacred and new

Rejecting false limits,
  on your way to the truth

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)...

Subjective objection to lack of objective proof,
Overpowering faith defies scientific truth.
Perimeter observations,
No rationalization but this,
The supernatural creates,
For we do exist.

Sit on the gate and continue to speculate,
Why the sheep stay in fleet, don't look to escape this fate....

i find myself
obsessed with
"strawberry fields"
and the tartsweet scent
it throws into my memory.
surrounded by concrete
and razorwire, i yearn for
a long-legged run in overgrown
forests, but i must serve and protect
this tumbled town
and keep these prisoners
inside a shining steel perimeter....

There’s something in the subtle shifting of a spiders legs
the way they part and regroup, giving perspective to the world at it’s perimeter.
something in the layered movement of limbs, perfect symmetry
Eight tiny lines
   Four pairs
Form movement, inspiring change
Opening an entire world of new direction...

Where am I in you?

Am I just sitting on the
  edges of your mind,
Easily flicked away
  when you haven't the time?

Am I just a peripheral vision?
A perimeter friend?

Do you just glance through my glass
                 quickly,
            then out again?

After all this time,
Am I still just on the fringes of your mind?...

Astound me with visual auroras
swathes of rainbows in chorus
that leap across lofty skies
strange intriguing patterns that rise
iridescent visions of midnight forests.

Mind bending colors turn sinister 
haunting hues no longer minister
I awaken from dystopian dreams
seeking solace from simple means
I bask inside sunlight’s perimeter.

J-ust reach the edge of eternity, 
A-im to cross the perimeter; 
N-ew earth is placed within, 
E-ven heaven that lasts forever. 

G-et to the edge of eternity, 
E-arly January eighteenth Thursday; 
R-un toward the fringe 
O-f perpetuity above the skyway. 
M-ake it to the threshold to finally touch the boundary; 
O-pen gate will welcome you to the edge of eternity....

Downward. Spiraling out of control. Into a darkness so black and empty that its perimeter 
can only be described as infinity. Void. Empty. But full of betrayal, deceit, hatred, disbelief. 
The air is thick, heavy, stagnant...poisoned. But only one thing truly exists in this area of 
nothingness. As I push back the tears, madness and denial I see it as clear as day. Death....

In the moonlight
Where clouds cast shadows
Dark and fierce

There’s a haunted house nearby
Dark even in the full moon

It’s all boarded up
Fear envelopes all around
Light in one window

A cemetery
Exists within perimeter
Terror expounds

There are dug up graves
Where skeletons used to lay

Now they party
Within the haunted house
Dancing with the ghosts

one day working
the frets
i discovered the song

and I played
it over and over
hoping she would

hear it in her distant
land where she
had sea and beach

long bush tracks
and a bike for
the lake’s perimeter

i dream that she
will hear it
still on an evening

sky and a darkly
hidden verandah
breathing my fingers’

lilting on my buzzing
sunburst axe  and
love’s discordant harmony...

We're near the perimeter
It's been a long everlasting winter
I'm glad that it's summer

We watch the landfill of stars in the sky
Our teen years are high
As we look in our minds for the years that have gone by
We kill our eyes and start to cry

You only live once
Our lives just started to bounce

My ozone layered past consisting of broken memories
Is all we have sorrowing in the wake of you...
