Short Pursues Poems

The scent, hypnotic,
hungry for love, she pursues-
A Venus Fly Trap...

running  . . . denying

                                         I am weary -- where can I go

                                                                                         your love pursues me...

An unpleasant emotion so strong
is the fear that pursues us lifelong
of a troublesome phrase
that is certain to faze.
What's the phrase?  Just three words: “I was wrong.”...

Haughty eyes,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood.

A heart that devises wicked schemes,
A mind that pursues wicked dreams

A false witness who pours out lies
And any man who stirs up strife....

Impressions
Bottomless Depth
In mind.
An unexplored
Blue world pursues to
Crawl inland.
Foaming
Fingers text
Imprints
Left against
Golden grains
Of sand, receding.
Sonorous wave hum sound,
Back
To bottomless depth....

                      the person I want to be 

  is certainly not to become ~ some idealistic wannabe 

  but definitely one ~ that pursues a legitimate fantasy 

  hinted a ventriloquist to his puppet ~ lost in soliloquy

Intention of action…
inaction pursues

Deflecting commitment,
with roadblocks infused

Intention of action…
step one and step three

Step two is the question
—of what comes to be

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)...

We are tied up to the wheel of fortune

Which without fail, pursues destiny's way

Thus there would be times of much suffering

But good fortune would come to us one day!

Your advisory pursues the light
Like a beast that hunts 
in the night
Even after he has been fed
This animal won’t stop 
unless he’s dead.
The race is fixed 
the tackle is set 
The bangle tiger will 
cause him regret.

Like a hungry vampire, pursues me loneliness 
Scarier than sharp canines for me human phoniness
I feel myself a tired beast in the jungle
Which life has driven into a blind angle
But   is calling ahead brutal struggle
Who knows  - if  will find me buddle?...

If our faith be strong
Resolve rock solid
Love unwavering
Why is there then doubt
Wherefrom comes our fear

The truth is this
Ego pursues
Until desire
Is extinguished

Cessation
Is the key 
To be free

Desire
Mirrors

Fear

 Our genial Jewish friend, Gershon

Pursues poetry for a diversion  

For Russia, he has much disdain

A wolf defending Ukraine

His poems are marked by precision

Ego pursues us in the void
Though layers then subtle
Vaporised self, by it not toyed
Since bliss is our mantle

Oh hermit, be aware
Let each breath, with love pair
Sidestepping ego snare

Impulse renews
Ego pursues

Darkness confines me
Loneliness envelops my heart                   
Nothingness pursues me 
From dawn to dusk


My soul is forsaken
Affliction fills my heart
In the mist of humanity
Recognized by no one


Overwhelmed by tears
Weeping in my heart
My soul is dying
Will I at any point truly exist?...

What if it were only seven?
Or five?
Are the rules so strict in heaven?
Alive
sparked with energetic jive
tradition grooved in breast-fed mood
believing not that bucks are food
can cause a soul to wonder.
The soul pursues that which is good
and doesn't peacock squander.

Workin' on it...

“be watchful oh hermit, of ego trace 
even faint residue, blocks divine grace”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We
Are here
Or are we
In this moment
Ego pursues like tail of a comet 

Even our memory imagery binds
Thought rested calm
Brushed by love
Being
Free

Sometimes love fails us,
sometimes love is grand,
there is laughter and tears.
Yet we go on living 
as the world pursues us
under a fading star,
we're moved by 
sounds and images
from the notion of love.
It calls you 
bringing you closer,
willing you on and on
to find the Wretched Truth....

Once to love, much to tears; denotes the journey
Throughout the years; to find the space, the 
Special time, mankind pursues with plans designed
Unsure is oft.' there are ways and falls, spurning the proffered
Doubting all.' In passing thought I cast opine 
Let chance into play, ere the curtains fall..'...

Benedictions of divine grace
Are enabled in timeless time
When desires cease, no goals to chase
We imbibe, pheromones sublime 

Enlivened by bliss beats sublime
Love pursues love, in joyous chase
Vaporised presence transcends time 
Ensconced in rapture, by His grace

The pillow holds my head 
til the sun peeks in the window 
ever so slowly as though daring to view my face 
yet not afraid to be the first 
of the day. 

A warm embrace pursues 
seeping sweetly within my skin 
fiercely, and yet with a gentle, soft coaxing kindness, 
undaunted by my hesitance 
to succumb....

Impurity

Where is the solidity of purity?
Where is the moral of solidity?
And the conservatism of life?

What do I see on the train at night?
Almost naked very young women.
The world has turned upside down.

Spirituality has disappeared from life.
The flesh pursues the soul, and light.
Women are more magnetic in long skirts.

See Dick run, in the golden latterly years,
When past is gone, the future premieres.
Jane is a librarian, in the floral ruby days,
Sally is a teacher, in the tangerine phase.

Puff pursues orange butterflies in heaven,
And he and Spot frolic, in sunshine lemon.
Mother and Father reside in assisted living,
Where the blue jay to the moon is singing....

in the left corner of the shadow
below the darkest spot
something hidden watches us
eyes black like deep lakes
It looks like a dream but it's a nightmare
we are going down the steps
into the dirty world
the darkness dares and dominates everything
because it perceives and pursues
the scent of absurd fear:
our mind wandering
inside it's filthy alleys...

Reprogramming my mind.
No longer a caregiver, 
from now on I shall be overseer. 
My words the whip,
these daily tasks a cotton field 
of sorts. This child shall feel
calluses on his hands 
as he pushes himself 
from a lowly existence and 
pursues happiness like a 
homeless man who missed it. 
From embryo to prince, 
from idea to fruition, boy to man, 
he is my mission....

People are afraid of what
  they can’t understand
  themselves most often assured

In the depths of their wandering
  a voice cries out
  a voice too close to ignore

People will bolt from that thing
  that pursues
  that thing that augurs to chase

With blinders on tight
   and running in vain
   —to flee what they’ll never escape

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)...
