Short Portholes Poems

portholes
round by design
in sides of ships and planes
encircle scenes of sky and sea
plugged snug

Shipwreck 

As the ship exploded and sunk, her crew 
died a hundred times. 
Through portholes they saw the green sea, 
getting darker; they couldn´t hear their own 
screams as the noise of crushed iron´s was 
louder, like hundred express trains hurdling 
toward obliviousness  
And then the sea blew open doors 
filled every cabin with incomprehension
…and then, yes then, they died again....

A thought wanders lonely, detached, into my brain
  Meanders through portholes of pleasure and pain
Settles in a remote chamber of my dullard's mind
  Yawns, stretches out, dons a sleeping cap
  Drowsy, relaxed -- time for a very long nap...

When -- What this? -- a tiny spark ignites
  Leaping to touch its neighbor's' dendrite
Soon my cerebrum's lit up, on fire
  Thoughts fueling thoughts
     ~ Rocketing higher and higher...

Silly girl

You sit here and lick away at your enlightened lollypop 

Driving him with your silent stares 

 

Open your eyes 

Beautiful portholes 

Holes to your ever giving soul

 

A soul that doesn't exist 

To you….

 

Eyes that spill tears that are very real 

To you…

 

The taste, salty

The trail they leave 

A temporary reminder of sadness down your cheek 

 

Goodness, look at the time 

How long does this sadness intend to last?...
