Short Trajectories Poems

trajectories
meticulously aligned
the cosmic dance

I shift my mind
through the wild trajectories
of life
I often feel I have turned the corner
refusing to the titterings of despair
I cannot hold back the spring
the snowman is no more
I must welcome summer
and hear the voices chattering
of travellers tales
from their dust bone journeys...

It's hard to talk
From inside this box,
You won't see me dance
But I will advance.

I am a dreamer
With a quiet demeanor,
I've got to fly
To see stars in my eye.

Sleek metal surrounds me,
Super engines propel me
While I compute trajectories
Taking you to destinies

Beyond the Milky Way.

The Imaginary World

Polka dot marshmellows

Extraordinary gold and red glitter

bronzed litter with bow ties

glorious epiphanies of light

trajectories of colored confetti

rosies, posies, peonies, and ponies

sandals, beaches, stars out of reaches

babies tickled squeals and banana peals

dolphin personalities and unicorn horns

is the imaginary world

Wringing Withering Words
        Rhymes Remotely Rhetoric 
        Inherently Irritating Irony
        Tying Tattered Trajectories
        Enticing Ethereal Echoes 
        Relinquishing Ruined Rhymes
        Stubbornly sitting stalwartly

        Busily Busting Brain
        Limiting, Losing. Lackluster 
        Ostensibly Ordering Oracles
        Crumbling Cursive Curlicues
        Klutzy Kerfuffle Kaleidoscope...

Status impending 
Shelter unknown
Feelings unrelenting 
Receiver resending

Willful rain is shedding
Dripping casual moments
Auspicious declarations
Yesterday's sunrise is long set

Seeking subtleties 
Grazing palms and heartbeats
You drift by easily
I'm catching fragments left

Faulty footing
Lawns of glass
Cutting courtesy 
Trimming liquid admissions

Orchestrate fireworks
Ballet of bright lights
Choreograph trajectories 
Symphony of our lives...

The hole in his retina was getting larger.
He once saw the elephants
heading for the hills
long before the news broke on that far shore.

Even today
when his magnifying glass is cloudy
with questions
he still sees the asteroids.
breaking away from their trajectories
and falling upon the earth
like a pack of wolves.

He told the ophthalmologist
about this vision
she just smiled,
at least he thought she smiled,
for her teeth were as black
as a moonless night....
