Short Pictographs Poems

Pictographs concoct

Quaint flavors

An appetite blooms


Ginger locks descend

Passion skates

A micro death sparks


Pixels synthesize

Collections

Of synchronized whines


Lips laced with temptation

Eyes descending sunsets

Elements of resolution...

A strange collage of images dance on a poster board,
  layout of pictographs, stories that move and shout discord;
some sway left, some stand still, some sway alt right
 while tweet and twitter ping on the scoreboard lights.

Wonder what's going on in old DC
 with democratic and republicans on knees;
today they say this, tomorrow who knows
 will the emperor take off his clothes?...

Knowing That I Am
David J Walker
 
I’ve tried to keep my memories
Of seasons in  separate shoeboxes 
As time lapsed photographs of

Of every day and every place 
he had ever been
And even if he cannot

The pictographs tell the 
Story of everyone who had
Touched him...

the speak of the ancestors
thats made with their pictographs
from a place called sacred ground
a quiet and haunting place
in a dry dusty canyon
you can hear voices chanting
accompanied by the wind
explaining cryptic symbols
that can solve the mysteries
what a man comes here to do
and that our lives we must lose
this we must give our regards
but what becomes of the love
does it really ever end
maybe love is who we are
just for the giving away...
