Shower, she exits
Naked stance in wetted drape
A droplet espied
In slow cascade towards pert

What perpendicular evening
When all the stars
Are in alignment and
My back
Against the
Stardust
Swirling around
Like pink
Cotton candy...

You and I
dancing in the margins
ever so gracefully.
Cues never lifted,
Doubts aflight.
Biases.
Perpendicular lives.
Merging?
perhaps, upon heaved veil...

my mother said
 that I should be a 
painter. She told me 
my Os were perfect,
and my Is perpendicular 
and I could fill the void 
of space with my work.
then I handed her this piece
of paper and said
I am....

FAR IS SO THE VIEW

the view is far so
sunset perpendicular
horizon rises

capsizing daylights
submerged visions weather viens
far is so the view

Life comes and goes,
               seesaw,
            perpendicular...!
           Forward and backward,
            highs and lows...
          Tide,
          wave,
          roller coaster...
          without this... sans movements
          there would be no life...!...

stuck on the inside of a box
this world is circular
And we're all square 
Perpendicular are the lives that
lie parallel to the intersect
three dimesional personalities
around the way
If your reach a stop
Green light the go
This poem doesn't make sense
So I'll stop now or...gooooo......slowwwww...

On the subject of bathing
There are two schools of thought:
In a shower or tub,
Which you do,
Which you ought?
Of course, some people say
Either way is okay,
While others are a tad more particular.
They'd rather scrub in a tub
And recline on their spine
Than to sluice standing up,
Perpendicular.

when whales dream

perpendicular in the singing sea
cradled in a swath of blue silk ebb and flow
oblivious to courting dolphins
cavorting and calling 
as drunken sailors do 
 on Saturday night leave

rem-membering across time
large thought plunging wild and free
or small delicate moments
of ghost like creatures
frilling through unimaginable deeps
perhaps lost long ago....

Cosmic connections arise
out of burnt city's of ash
Death n' Turmoil chaos transforms
into impermeated order

In house seventeen
friendship formed
from life murderers
Loving kindness has bound
like a roaring caboose train
Streaming steams of the night

Between the trio of different worlds
landing on the same dimensional plane 
heart
mind
spirt, parallel
no longer perpendicular...

Poetry in motion words fluid, falling like spring rain
Animated verse set to music in my veins

Wonderful composing carried away to the pages
Complete this being, hear while poetry rages!

Violin bow drawn perpendicular like passionate love's moan
Words like passionate music, caress the heart's groan.

For Brian Strand's contest, Thanks for the inspiration!!
~~~Recieved honorable mention in the contest~~~~...

We were forced in to love, with you.
And we were far away from ourselve,
Now,perpendicular is like that,
We were just drunk in your drunkenness.

When you have meet us,you come to us,
You are just your dream.
Something else is not pleasing to us now,
We do not live without you.

We got away from the heart,
We were forced to find you.
Now,perpendicular is like that,
We were just drunk in your drunkenness....

Another sunrise
Another resurrection
Another Calvary to conquer,

And though
Shadowed death
Flickers on the day’s
Mountain top
I fear not its coming,

Being perpendicular
Is the blessing
Being seen—not viewed
Is the blessing,

Each morn’s resurrection
Blesses me to insurrection
Against the evils of injustice,

And strengthens my faith
In the certitude of the promise
Of the Most High: “Ask…Seek…Knock…”...

last night as I got high
you were invited.
we could have been
high---
perpendicular to solstice
parallel to columns 
that replicate the
universe.
we could have been --within--
transparent amidst hungry, shallow
thoughts 
that bring night
full circle ---within-- 
it's calculated 
soft
silence. 
last night I got high within the syllables that form your name---
drawing close to the distance---
to your energy.....high....

....passing perpendicular
enable this feeble brain to
regain momentum
in its frenetic
pursuit of something
hugely prophetic to
enlighten you readers with a 
rhythmic
avalanche of profound
Love.

Then again, thoughts that are
hovering can in fact be an
outright impediment
unintentionally causing a stammer,
guffaw, or some other sophistic
hilarity to erupt
taking all seriously serious
spirituality off into the mundane....

Pretty papers piled perfectly perpendicular 
Pappy’s preference prefers papers piled properly
Patricia Pappy’s precious princess plunders pile
Pappy painfully piles papers properly precise
Precious princess packs precise papers perfectly
Pappy pondering protecting pretty piled papers  
 Purposely purchases proper padlock protection
Pouting Precious Princess Patricia picks padlock
Pappy paddles Pouting Precious Princess Patricia...

Evil winds blow over the shattered downs.
A land bereft of joy, but full of frowns.
An inconsequential and harrowing sight.
A vast and perpendicular height.

A harmonius accord goes through the lands.
As friends and enemies walk hand in hand.
Death has been conquered for all time.
No more will the black bells chime.

But one day soon he will return.
Carrying his morbid urn.
To capture us in solitude and woe.
And send us all deep below....

Journeying A Temporary Esoteric Plane
As true as it is
And so it be—
Yet 
Though one 
Of the number
Is no more
We remain perpendicular
To the teeming level plane;
Traveling parallel;
Seeking an enlightening quest:
Though the cold 
Dark grave
Lies before us,
It darkness holds no fear—

For ours is a journey of light;
Searching the word 
Without wintering end
Nor demise of summering toils;
Knowing that substitution,
Like raindrops, is temporary....

Triangles tend to squares
tend to circles tend to
reasoning tends to forces
which tend to tending itself.

The law of attraction is attraction
to law which tends to the resolution
of perpendicular forces. 
 
From great circles, arcs vanish
because angles vanish together.
Equal be taken for equal and
things supposed will be.

Stunning brunette, walking perpendicular,
She has perfect skin displayed upon her figure;
Distinguishing features, displayed upon her frame,
Looking absolutely gorgeous, her ultimate aim;
Unbelieveably attractive, she is not like any other,
Her likeness can not be equaled, not by another;
No trouble at all is looking pretty fo her,
All about her is tremendous allure;
Such a cute face inhibiting this lovely creature,
These unblemished traits make for some lovely features.
