although we’re from ego unchained 
we’ve played out our role as ordained
intent’s pure and so we endure
blood that flows that soul be retrained...

As the unchanging screen of awareness
Upon which life impressions are played out
As luminous self-existent consciousness
no attribute exists where fears may sprout

symbolistic clouds
visible heavens
between equators surround
delicious desire
hushed lovers on fire
remembering momemts
nature played out
undercover
grasping the past
crying nothing ever last...

You can see
trains
waiting in
the yard
Iron, Smoke and Steel
Our lives are played out
in the aftermath 
of that 
tune
Urban creatures 
become one with
the city landscape
IRON, SMOKE and STEEL...

It is beautiful, yet strange.
A feeling that is hard to explain.
Definition unknown,
Yet the same.
A melodie sweetly played out of tune.
A rose freshly bloomed.
A stroll
A bewildered stare,
Memories shared....

I played out my string,
  I ran my race

My chaps are frayed,
  but spurs in place

Still one horse to ride,
  with saddle in hand

That last trail awaits,
 —final sunset commands

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)...

The sounds of a summer night ring out;
a firefly air ballet performs,
as young eyes embrace the tale;
played out by blinking lights.
summer’s magical;
churning waters
abetting 
nighttime
choir.

A long time ago in the land of ice and snow
Played out such an extraordinary loving scenario
A white rhino and brown bear
Made love on a chair
Result was a snow white polar bear, wouldn't you know

Deeply rooted dark desires
of every deviant sexual urge,
divine and unconscionably 
naughty primordial  nuances
of sensuality unscrupulously
played out in dreamt midnight
rendezvous or reality if you dare...

it's not so hard to swallow...

A shadow falls over the ruins.
As the path leads her to where 
She wants to go.
The adventures played out
In her mind.
Heading off the beaten path
Is what she read about 
so many times.
In search of hidden gems 
That sparkled and shined.

I long to hear that song again
Like it was when I first heard it
The pleasure of its newness
As it played out to the end

Close your eyes and see the lights
Psychedelic in pulsating colours
As you rocked the sound and look
Dig it and hear it as your sound.

In the evenings I can see myself
my movements throughout the day are played out in my head
the footprints in the snow, the car crunching along the black night road 
I can hear the conversations played back to me along the wires
of wandering thoughts
and I think is it all just a dream?...

True to myself
Let’s be real 
I was an addict to your soul
The pain of it all
Never having it real
Just a feeling 
I knew I was alone in this
What it was
It wasn’t real, it was only a fantasy
Played out in my head
I think I’m hurt
I think I’m hurt
You’re not real, you’re fake, gurl...

If karma were a thing
I would say bad musical scores
get consigned
to live their next lives
as the symphony of unheard notes
played out on medical devices
until someone actually hears them
or they draw someone else back from the dead
in sheer desperation
having successfully escaped
hell...

Quietly I sit and think of you
As my mind plays out in scenes too
In the sunshine of thousands of suns
Days together in our happiness won

My mind is a movie of played out scenes
Of us together in the love it means
And these treasures are close to my heart
For I know that in my soul we are never apart.

marathon of deep seeded feelings 
a long-distance emotional
endurance race to the finish
a maladaptive mental competition 
that lasted an extremely long time 
that want great lengths to try and 
remain within the unhealthy contest 
within the game that played out year
after year between the two hearts that 
fell into the emotional trap long ago...
