Short Signpost Poems

a super bright fixed star
the signpost light stream to show
a miracle birth...

On the Road of lies
travel the Dharma detours
at the signpost up ahead
next stop---the Outer Limits...

This

Is nothing

Says a signpost..

Ending the search

Or not..either story

Is already 

This...

Signpost said danger
It was only natural
For such a delight
But I didn't ask the price
I was looking at her eyes...

Bright jewel resting on the sun-bleached rock
So small in the vast wilderness
Nature gave you color, texture and beauty
You rest in the sun waiting
We did not know 
You are also a signpost to life’s future...

Somewhere in the distance, there's a light, a signpost to that universal shepard at the inn we humans long for,
awaiting all of us or so we think, or maybe hope but sometimes wonder if this place called earth we occupy is all we have.
The final resting place. A life time journey's end....

Across thIs scenic route a fools gold signpost,
pointing in the wrong direction to some vibrant deep green “plot” that lost its hue on close inspection.
Visionary luscious slope and peak,
giddy silver stream,
harbourmaster of the trompe l’oeil  for distant minds who dwell in make belief...

Sense a new world
In a safe place;
Grace spurs a twirl
Nice as a trace.
Plant your query
Only with truth;
See more clearly
Trust in wise proof.
Soar with sure choice
Splendour most grand;
Pleasure with poise
Effort that blends.
Live, love and laugh;
Life feeds good stuff.

The Rain falls within my heart,
The cobbled street wastes away below my feet,
Clouds of despair form over my head,
The gloomy looks of passers by as i drag myself from corner to signpost.

The Buildings are a cage of no escape,
They force me within myself to find freedom,
Seeking a Light i know i wont find,
I continue walking..
With no end....

Our hopes sky high, we drove along the coast
We'd ask our folks their blessing for to wed
The bridge was out, perhaps the first signpost
Yet neither of us felt the slightest dread...

When we arrived, we felt something amiss
Our parents' faces ashen, gaunt and long --
No more to thrill to love's expectant kiss
  ~ Our different religions made it wrong

Here is the land of no tomorrow
just left of yesterdays dreams
what have i found as a treasure
as a measure of my life.
My feet seem set on an aimless path
that cannot lead where i would go
the wind murmurers wisely 
but speaks not of what i would know
Is there no more of me?
if a signpost said find me here
would anyone look for my door
Is my life so hidden away
if I can not find myself 
will I be eternally lost...

All-seeing eye peers into space,
ether or escape hatch from the chase.
Blue sky peachy-keen hypnotic  envelope,
image ridden flight a mind game telescope.
Fantasy abounds where sunshine always reigns,
blissful  muses dash through fast lanes.
Fools gold rainbow haven just another wishing well,
signpost to utopia some distant dark art hell.
Angelic cloud silken float zenith,
ornamental  star-gazer’s supernatural tenet.

The limits of which you speak
Have gathered upset underneath
Pens that prognosticate
Stolen imagery, a thieving magpie
Dreams her dark blessing
 
She has no care for truth
Her only penchant is exposed
Writhing worm food arteries
Blood dangles from her beak
 
Binoculars address a signpost firmly 
Capturing a prosaic ring tone
That reminds you what day it is
 
Simulated law school cases murmur
To falter or plunder, echoing newsreels
Raising family beacons asunder...

Spring, ripe and dulcet 
usher for the vines 
of mellow orchard 
green leaf perch bird chime   
thaws a winter gloom
         
Bane of snowbound
cladding doused in
red sunlight rays
sea salt tides rise
                  
Wild rose plot’s
vivid shades
signpost faith

A sprig
of fresh 

 mint

I never said it to you
blind you were not, after all.

But then when there was no way forward
I could have said something, like:

I want to stay here, in this place, now that there still 
is a feeling of your hand in mine.
I don't need you to remember, but
I want to say it now, this once, I want to look this once
into your eyes when I say it
so that I have something to get back to
from beyond time and place
a signpost in the world, a candle in the dark:

I love you...
