All points meet at you~
the sky, the sun, the water.
A still photograph
holds my happiness in ink.
I pretend that you still smile....

PORTRAITS

photographic portrayal depicted

perspective platitude inflicted

projective persona conflicted

Photographic memory
Coursework a breeze
Piling up PhDs

To keep the doors open
Commitments broken
Truth left unspoken

The life of the mind
Roped in, confined
Inevitability: defined

 Doors so unkind...

I have a batch of photographs 
I keep inside my mind 
Everytime I think to blink 
Another slips inside 

I like to call these pictures 
While others call them memories 
But I find pictures in my mind 
Are much easier to see...

timeless desires
in a nowhere place

liberty with pleasure
enigma,imagery intertwined

dislocative in effect
experimental in form

near photographic in recall
surreal shaded pictures

portraits..in poems
linear asides of tomorrow...

As some intangible feeling, 
creeps through the ventricle's heart
Emotion, commotion the size of an ocean 
threatens to tear us apart
As some incredible memory, 
spin cycles all that we know
Dissection, inflection, this sweet insurrection 
threatens our heart and it's flow....

One piece of paper
One pencil
One Artist
Painting a canvas of words
Work of art

One hand
One thought
One motion
A picture crafted from graphite and imagination
Photographic wonder

One mind
One body
One world
A song composed of the love of the universe
We are one....

Sympatric Aphrodite,  
wide photographic opportunity
We bow to our natural needs
Her glare, to all our hopes
The actresses' deft chin, glacial
A mountain of irses
Gadfly 1970s
Where blondes and brunettes
co exist
Dream on the fantasy
Brown boots, high heels
drifting in Autumns air...

shells wandered out onto the beach in strips and slashes
from the air it probably looked like a Shriner’s convention
God was materializing in the east in the form of an explosion
I ran to get my camera, not knowing what to photograph first
such an amazingly brilliant photographic opportunity!...

Recorded music - 
running amok in my brain
mirroring my mood
taped, stored, replayed
Running soft, soothing
Turning complicated, confused
angry, worried or afraid
mourning and weeping 
Photographic moments... 
Give up the fight
Unleash the music
Let the demons rage
Let it shatter your heart
Pray the song never ends......

Banished by nature.
 Condemned to a watery
 grave of recycled

 tears. Struck down in the
 wake of newborn innocence.
 A fallen angel

 surrendered in an
 untimely demise, seizing
 tangible feeling.

 A photographic,
 stagnant beauty entrenched in
 a cleansing casket.

 Existing among
 the wrath of nature’s recourse.
 Embodied silence....

Time was once a letter sent
A thinly packaged salutation
Revealing reads and rushes
A content discourse situation

Story lines entwined grapevines
Most privately complicit
A baton passed a relay cast
Too confidential to elicit

Artistic flair in swirling script
Stylish prose self styled emphatic
A photographic written pose
Of diatonic scale chromatic...

Code carved in temple walls, tombs and charms
Used in a religious context
Meaning magic words in Greek
The Egyptians believed 
That words written in
Hieroglyphs came
Real in their
Ancient
World

The photographic technology
Creates a visual image
Projected in third dimension
In movies or concerts
Appearing as real
To human eye
Something that
Is not
Real

encyclopedic
photographic memory
fast fast computer

that is not genius
it is not sentience but
an equivalence

teaching machines skill
makes us not equals
but craftsman and tools

could data invent
originate ideas
create new art forms

its equivalence
individual being
people are that too

so then it's aware
of self and world as mirrors
but not my equal


stan sand...

Such an amazing sight I saw!
Sun rays pouring in my window,
A cuckoo sitting on my chair,
Bathing black with gold, what a show!

A photographic flash it was,
As it sang a sonorous song,
Music so harmonious that 
It could downthrow a choral throng!

Such stunning display stirs my soul,
Natural charm has its own pull,
Add to that sunlight's radiance,
I am so joyous and thankful.

A photographic memory
Is nothing but a curse
Everytime you write a poem 
You remember every verse

Everyone you'll ever meet
Just won't go away
You'll see them over and over
And all thru out the day

You remember all the bad things
That you wanna forget
Even some mistakes you've made
That you might regret

But one thing you'll remember
Is the worst, more than all
You walked into the bathroom
And saw your mother-in-law...

looking in mind  pictures
Of good times with you and me
I settle for the memories
of how things used to be
It helps with all the lonelies
That crowd around too tight
As I sit in moonlit silence
and contemplate the night
There’s a bunch of cudda wuddas
locked up in my chest
fighting with ifonlies 
for a shot at for the best
clouds smother up the moon light
too slowly  will the years
drowning all my sorrows
as my heart fills up with tears...

I'll look at your picture 
   again today, 
   but in my mind
You are kinesthetic,
   though my images 
   do not flow smoothly
But jump about in
    unpredictable 
    stop and go,
Attitudes that melt 
   suddenly to find 
   animation.
You are never still
   but keep on trying
   at my idle doors 
Demanding
   Entrance!
   Lamps be lit!
I'll look a bit
   longer at these
   photographic eyes
Picturing again
   the life
   inside....

This is my album for photography.
Stored inside are many a memory.
These are photograph records of my history.
This album has irreplaceability.
Here are all my experiences and capers
printed on these photographic papers.
I have prints of each relative and friend.
My life has yet to reach its end.
On these back empty pages I will store,
future pictures of which I will have more.
This album of mine will stay with me,
even during this unforeseen tragedy.

There's a lyric on your lips

and you're dying to sing

   But you're sewn like a puppet

   bound by a dream

 

Walking on a high wire

on the edge of insane

   So high above the world

   so buried by their pain

 

You're the bullet and the trigger

a product of how you're sold

   Invention-less and plain

   made up in gold

 

The inverse of the operation

for photographic beauty

   Cracked beneath the skin

   where no one else can see...
