Gregarious,
Robust and strong,
Equal to the mighty yellow and orange,
Engaging in all genres,
Notably calming and surreal.

just four
elements-
earth,air,water
fire-

of surreal
art.
Ekphrasis- Water by Arcimboldo
I know a maiden
Whom remains hidden where all
Sacred knowledge turns
Into a lake she swims in
With elemental spirits.
in my universe
colours swirl
and dance around
where peace unfurls
and love abounds

it was spewing venom
in the shape of evil
i ran as far as i could run
and never looked back

Merit Oppenheim of teacup fame
delicate whimsy was her game
Her theme being the surreal
clearly she was the 'real deal'

autumn flutters

sonorous leaves
lunar ghosts
a period
that points
to something
a parenthesis
that expands
into a void
an ellipsis
that includes
the infinite
Jellyfish cookies
Soften in seas of melting
Milkiest of creams,
As splendid drops of honey
Coat frosted cupcake islands.

dreamscapes
lonely
landscapes
Sheltering in
Womb of night
Engrossed in
Surreal silence
Imagination stretched
Beyond galaxies revealing
Immortal self

Sublime, and surreal,
Tantalizing, you appeal,
Unique, romance bloom,
Volatile, gone so soon,
Loving, our eternal tune....
So saturated
By tv
To get one down
A story
So surreal
And filled with
Elation
That it’s not
Fit for
Human
Consumption
The ***********
It has no brain
yet it outsmarts
many little red funny caps
thanks to them
xi virus
will be great again
Edge of wharf diner courting saline tastebuds,
Halyard rope bell hop with a catch,
Grandee gourmet glutton wolfs marinated cod
I recognize many faces,
But I don’t recognize my own,
I am yet to feel realities pleasures,
but pain is always close to home.
Epigram #34:
DREAM
Dream a fond dream
In dreamy touch
Surreal is real

Singapore
Cherishing my dream,
Where wishes are granted true,
A magical place,
That is surreal, paradise.
An island of haven thoughts.
Swipe away the curtains and gaze into my windows of truth. Frolic through my open garden and breathe in my fragrance of passion.
under a sullen moon
silence hovered
my mind meandered
the two soon
inextricably
entwined

I’m fascinated
by all elephant wisdom
watching a movie
they walked through a hotel hall
as quietly as the ghosts...
Voters labeled it surreal
the man had little appeal.
But Trump pressed on
sure they were wrong
and closed still another deal.
