Hate, a saddle Bronc
That bucks not the spectator
It bucks you alone...

World - a house of mirrors
I'm the spectator, I'm the show...

Skyblue oh skyblue
                       Everlasting seer of all

I would much rather have the karma of being eaten by hungry lions
Than be a spectator cheering for human death in a Roman coliseum...

Rising
From the sand

Modified glass
An unusual spark

Passing over
A shifting wait

Leaving a trace
Open incite

Spilling out
A whisper

Rising

Wets
The
Lips....

Me a forgotten poem in a forgotten paradise.

Me an incomplete story in an abysmal world.

Me a spectator in the spectacular crowd.

Me just another face in the infinite crowd.

Inside,
instinct
intact
beast...

on the outside,
pure theater
study...

I went before,
actor of your actions,
now only
spectator
absent... but

still i'm living
your actions...
That's a fact... !...

I still admire you
but distant
as a spectator...
of film art noveau !
Cruel to me you are
the more I call you
the less you answer me,
but I love you even more,
 you never accepted...
You only want me far away!...

witness moonlight
phosphorescences danced
on the lake scene

the leaf rustling was the only music
fishes were spectator

you missed a lot of things
maybe were your sweet dreams
but the view was beyond imagination...

These memories are just phantoms 
the dust of demons long since destroyed 
why does the mind always betray 
maybe this what it means to be human 
they are the ashes of ancient ruins 
from a long forgotten war 
whose only spectator was me...

A writer’s two-way mirror

Unseen, I watched the live actor.
My eyes followed every gesture.
Speckled realities captured
My senses re-manufactured. 
Next time I will remain a mere spectator.

The moon, she dips behind the hill.
She hides from me, and always will.
And in the glass I see my eyes
Two ghosts of love and empty lies.
The road is lost beneath my feet
As I keep watch where heavens meet.
And signs instruct: Avoid the Ice,
Keep your Distance. Good advice....

Ah! But to be unnoticed
But to be in the shadows of 
life's living day by day

To be the veiled spectator
of a father cutting grass and
a child in the sandbox-

To witness these normal things
normal people do on a normal day
is pure ecstasy to one who
glides past all like an unseen
wind....

The Spectator

Like, once I said
I watch
You climb the ladder with steps made of words
And once you wear the crown
I’ll still be watching
Smiling and applauding
Among the audience
Wishing goodness
Deep inside that corner of my heart

Cerulean brine 
                                Setting witness as a mute
                                    Spectator the bond
                                 Finding out amaranthine
                              Devotion between two souls

Weeping and tears for the dead hero
It was when mother watched a film true
So big eyes when watched
Same one in next fussed 
Asked," How do the dead come to film foe?"

It comes roaring busting like thunder, warning every spectator
Carrying the smiles carrying the laughter, parameter of hope
People gather to sing and swing, a spring of continuity and good
All the stinking scrotal carriers, emptied by mere castrations 
Many thinK to eat and dance, two think to contact and merry...

One has a pair of wings the other none,
both possess a different shade of beauty.
That bird’s able to fly the man can run,
to each the other’s life seems so easy.
The man can relay ancient stories spun
as birdsong jams decorating the Sun.
Both will capture the spirit of nature
while enjoying the role of spectator....

Under the mind blowing lights 
Forceful men embrace in tights 
Gigantic spectator enjoyment delights 

O' Super Bowl Sabbath show
Everybody in Land of Liberty know
Time for the pivotal moment glow

Everyone's yearning for their gang to win 
Tis' all that folks are sayin'
Here, poetry in forward motion begin 'n spin...

You have been set free
To set others free
Faith is not
A spectator sport
Learn a simple truth
Share it
Discover your gift
And release it
Hook up
On a project
Not as the boss
But as a partner
Give your ear
Not your tongue
To talk her story
Look for opportunities
And meet the needs
Others passed
By the other side...

Been in a trip, not long ago
Seen a pink flower, hidden in the trees.
Teen was I when the flower caught my eye
Keen as a spectator when I went under my knees.

Another pink flower I saw, so rich
Above an attic, way too far from my reach
As I tried to pick it, a speck got into my eye
Under a tall tree is a bird, noshing a peach....

I CONTEMPLATED 


I contemplated reality
As a spectator 
And
Found no answers

I contemplated reality
As a part of it
And 
Stumbled on possibilities  

I contemplated reality  
As a member of it
And 
Faced understanding 

I contemplated reality  
As an agent of it 
And
Discovered the path to
TRUTH!
