Morning approaching fast…
Hateful sound of dreaded alarm
I’m squinting my eyes, realize
Dreams are gone and it all starts again.
Listen to poem:
a crack lets light in
so squinting with eyes half-closed
highlights kintsugi ~
showing the view beholden
kowtow is so beautiful
Squinting, straining ocular muscles
unveils a lonely, battered beacon
astride distant shores, welcome signal
to weary sailors bleary-eyed
A walk on a warm winter's day
Birds chirping and children at play
Folks smiling 'neath squinting sunshine
Earth's river flows peaceful today
brimmed eyes
squinting against the noon brightness.
gloved hands
wiping the salty drops away.
denim moving
with the lankiness beneath.
strong lines
rising as the maul swings
Recognition
I would slumber in you
Squinting with an owl’s grin,
Like a standing wave
Like a hoarse flapping
My peafowl would cover me
With a chickadee’s flutter of wing
The stooped gait
the squinting eye
A curmudgeon sure
personified...
Yet when from parted lips
his timeless treasures poured
The very Founts of Wisdom
yearned for even more
The lurid moon-
Dim as an eye,
squinting, and
waning unnoticed in
the despair of darkness,
like souls that trudge
through the roadless
vast transit of Sheol.
Guideless wanderers
lost: no spirit, essence,
nor aim.
Blinking,
out of focus,
beyond the frame,
hidden very well,
pointing, clicking, snapping,
silhouettes, visions of illusory
promise,
squinting,
straining to see,
the slice of reality,
left outside the mosaic

Why do passengers freak out when driving in my car
Do they feel insecure coz I'm old and can't see very far
Is it the squinting stuff
Or driving in the buff
Should I worry explaining to the cops my behavior bizarre
you
on the beach
in the blazing sun
face down
naked
on the sand
soft waves
lapping
at the shore
sea water
glistening
on your skin
blue eyes
squinting
up at me
the scent
of you
even now
lingers
Why do passengers freak out when I'm driving the car
Do they feel insecure just coz I'm old, can't see very far
Is it the squinting stuff
Or driving in the buff?
Should I worry explaining to the cops my behavior bizarre?
OLD SOLitary Lovers
Sun worshippers these sunflowers
turning their backs on their tenders
lolling in the squinting rays of sunrise
stretching to catch last touch of sunset
sadly hanging their heads at dusk.

polish-english noun squint, a
squinting position of the eyes
Squinting to yet retain
Not just of it what outlines
As fruit's in tree's sight.
Are we not the more transfixed
In a fading light?
Inferred, my inner eye!
Whilst is as blurry figured
This sweet memory.
Yes, that stilly obsessed! Yes
This hour, life's, dusky.
Flying away as feathers is her smiling skirt
Blouse flaps itself as eagle wings in windy sky
Her legs tantalizing gazers as ripe sugar cane
With the eyes squinting as vale blue berries
And the hair like peeling off Sahara waste
Pelt men as horses in a poorly shot movie

Halloween frights creep ever nearer,
their mask-less faces are peeping,
squinting in the daylight.
The children are restless
they tug at invisible hands
pulling us away from what we fear.
Hours are bewitching the sun.
Monsters roam Party Shops
haunted by our bad dreams.
SUNSET
Squinting at a blinding white sun
The whole of planet Earth turns
And from the viewpoint of us all
A fiery giant ball of red and gold
Dips so slowly below the horizon
Until the merest sliver disappears
And recognises time for darkness
Leaving a crescent moon smiling
Waiting to be
Blinded by
Snowflakes of
Beauty falling
From the sky.
Eyes squinting,
Mouth opened
Wide just
For droplets of
Frozen water to
Touch the sensitive
Muscles of my
Tongue. Dying
From dehydration
With only the
Intent of
Catching a
Beautiful
Snowflake
On my tongue
How the question
Troubled me so
Squinting for clarity
Revealed when ready
Seems clearer now
In a hazy sort of way
Creativity
Talents to exploit
Almost too late
Feeling I have to rush
Before crossing the finish line
To earn any celestial reward

Point of View
Hag in the mirror
Squinting at me
Waiting and watching
A young face to see.
She doesn’t know
Face that stares back
Never thought she’d see
That old hag in black.
But here they are
Alone the two
Seeing each one
From own point of view.

under a rock, squashed,
i peeked out, squinting -
the blinding sun pushed
my shades to their limit, glinting.
i could not be cool
i could not hide
like anybody's fool i know
i'm taken for a ride
and then you passed by
with a hint of expression
that made me wonder why
i'd seek nothing but your passion.
Form:
Dark eyes peer through freedom's grate
squinting in a spotlight glare
lost between a fear's folly
and bloody fingered courage
Escape - denied the body
freed the passion of the mind
a visage in the twilight
dark eyes challenging their fate

Shadow, shadow on the wall. Why mimic me at all?
Hiding upon rising til out the door
From early morn, you wave from next door
Distant and forlorn you stretch away
Then hide at my feet as we feel the heat
Only to run away as the day fades
Squinting, you wisp away and fade to grey
As I step inside to watch you hide
