Short Staircases Poems

My mind is straying towards 
A staircase of the unknown
One vibrant as relativity 
And puzzling
For realities perception
Is fading on my thoughts
Like staircases
Decaying...

On the fifth floor, and on the narrow staircases,
Porters raised the piano with angry red faces.
"My friends - you seems to like a light music?" -
Somebody asked them. The porters bruised him!...

montreal moving day

in spiral staircases

Sprial staircases and reverse gravity
Green means slow and red still stop

Ice is hot and Fire gives chills
Evil is nice and happiness kills

Twist my words to make you smile
Be my girl and stay a short while

Live with me in my insane world
And be my underneath, upside-down girl...

The echo smitten...

From distant shore...
hollowed sand...

limber your crash...

Tip ocean sea bed...

curl your path free...

Withheld echo...

The echo smitten...

Waves staggered like staircases...

Roar through coaster tube... 

The echo smitten...

Limber your crash...

Tip ocean sea bed......

More graceful in full blubber
than a ballroom dancer,
a seal slides down banisters 
of spiral staircases
in ice-cold currents.

Smiling like a cat,
slipping into water,
swimming down and up,
fat from fishing, 
sunning, sleeping on the rocks,
		I could never push you over.

Seal immovable:
magnificent,  obese.

Golden water glittering through
delicate weeping willow leaves
Swans swimming on  the lake
Grand  house on top of the hill
neatly framed with many trees
Shingled roof  peaked gables
Large arched windowed eyes
Carpeted  flowers staircases
Marble floor,  chequered hall
Dining room living room den
Settee Louis XVI parlor chair
Deep  yellow blue pink letter
Clatter of  six sets  of  hoofs...

Sitting here sipping upon a monster's energy drink
Trying to clear my mind that perhaps the fog shall lift
Her palette may appear this verse an image, something ?
Short nights long days still walking through yesteryears haze..
Upon a train unto nowhere at least within this life I would wish
Here, amid a world without inspiration ? Winding staircases rising
Towards empty ledges her paradox; vertigo's revolving doors bizarre....

The Gonja man said to me
“It’s raining while the sun shines”
My guest appeared bemused
I had heard it before
We both surveyed the wasted landscape
The rivers filled with green slime
The potholes like staircases

The workers covered in clay
Golden like the gem they seek
To our left they hummed a tune
“Galamsey! Galamsey! …”
I whispered to my companion
There’s got to be a better song than that
Then we walked away...

When the sky above's azure blue
    the grass below Irish green
  My thoughts straightaway turn to you
    Reflections of visions 
                      yet to be seen

  Winding lavender staircases
    intimate moments shared
  powdery-snowfall embraces 
    adventures yet to be dared

  Parting kisses linger
    'til dawn's warm sun intrudes
  touching my lips with your finger
    flames' fancy thus fanned ne'er subdued...

I have a hidden eye,
through which I discern,
the staircases amidst the obstacles

I have a hidden eye
and through that I dig,
the happiness buried within

I have a hidden eye,
through that I trace,
the light at the end of the tunnel

I have a hidden eye
through that I see,
the ladder, when I trapped underground

I have a hidden eye,
through that I perceive,
the colors , when life is black and white...
