Mondo, Mondo - 
Your pole wobbles as you run.
Mondo, Mondo - 
Pole vaulting, just for fun....

The line between sweet and sour reactions is there
to encourage you to be nice, not to test your vaulting skills.

gentle  winds vaulting 
nature's  animals  charging 
climate control cell

void earths bombardment 
catastrophe plights denied 
raging storms collides

nuclear fires 
host brilliant amber's tokens 
earth ends in fire

Volcanos split the earth
Venting the heat within,
Vaulting upwards at rim.
Vermillion-burnt magma
Vrooms the molten lava-
Vailing, melting all paths;
Verily, countless deaths.

It went through me
the hot day;
vaulting back.
at night.
To hustle the poetry things.

Weary of the luminous
dials. I want to
think in dark.

*

The bookcase was empty.
Croaking words
had departed for
greener pastures.

Hold on.
I am coming to
defuse the grenades.

Where does your early morning
                 breath
                   rise
          or have descent
             or vaporize 
 
          Who can vaunt
               vaulting
            this vast vat
            which even 
                   in
              rainbows 
              i did see...

The bowels of madness
Trekked with dark watchful eye
Through terror and agony-
The fever of society unconscious
Vault these cliffs
With steel backed bone
Alone, dangling

Then, as the dawn shown
The most riveting surprise
Rejuvenation through soil
Rushing, penetrate the surface
Of mass hypnosis
You will soar as phoenix-
reborn in the beastly beauty
Sainthood to walk with man...

Lately, in my dreams
I'm doing backflips
On trampolines
Vaulting higher than high
Bouncing off
The springy sky
Free from gravity
Of worry
As the ground
Falls off my feet

I careen
To the beat 
Of tambourines
Tail lashing
Lavender flashing
Pom-pom sized
Orange eyes
I'm as free
As I want to be
Lately, in my dreams.

Today, I was missed by a bullet
fired by a sniper in Syria,  
a runaway train 10,000 miles from it, 
and every swing of the 
Grim Reaper’s scythe in between. 
A repeat of so many days 
of good coincidences.

Life is but an accident of time and geography,
we the beneficiaries of a random amnesty.

Tomorrow, I shall rise 
and raise song unto the vaulting blue 
for my privilege of sun....

Olympic stuff ain’t easy
I’ve false started many times

At the traffic lights
At meal times
Conversations in the office lounge area
And other events I’d rather not mention

Alright go on then
Let me fill you in

At McDonald’s
At the flipping birds

At peristerophobia
At the park

Pole vaulting is not a dangerous sport
But the internet has told me

Even though a pole requires 
A hefty investment

It is necessary...

Deep inside
there was a simian jealousy.
The opaque words will raise
a burnt-out storm –
returning the whole family
of white flowers to the moon.

The falling
inside the bowl
before the snake could strike
interrupting the dead soldiers
of unknown war-
weapon-free.

A stunning invasion
of the spoons in summer months,
when sweat was expensive than
truth and a sentence
was lost between the punctuations.

Yet I was going to recite a poem.

I want to save you
Since I can’t save me
There’s lots of dust to sift through
But we’ll get there you’ll see

Mistaken paths
Hooded identities
Dissecting parts of halves
Vision starts with remedies

No more counterfeit strategies
We’ll drive the straight line
Try and see if we can finally be free
Speeding the midline drinking moonshine

Just dig down underneath
Find the adventure in anonymity
Vaulting secrets just to breath
Forge the future to clutch gentility...

Open aired and pastel pillared, vaulting the ceiling; 
This bye to Paradise; & illuminating vision:)
Stand in-violate, in golden tones, in orange hues
in glowing aqua, do you colour my view,
The mark of Heavens promise, on earth:)
Expanding in an instant; you beam of Gods mirth.
A schism In prism; here ever to bloom, 
Fresh from the Masters hand on the loom.!
