Brothel of delights
Temple to serve men and gods
A bridge between void and light

Playground of freedom
Church of law and God's judgment
A bridge falling into void...

viewed by astronauts,
Earth is a massive blue sphere
stand outside at night, look up

see a universe
filled with sprawling galaxies
we’re but specks of creation...

Rembrant's pupil Philip Koninck
produced paintings panoramic
High viewpoints across a sense of space
at landscapes* he was an ace

Sailing away
Leaving today
on a Memphis honeymoon
Im so glad you made me happy
we are getting closer now
When you give me your heart
the great unknown will grab us
I feel the ease now
on our evening song
shared viewpoints
enjoin the same

Windows of soul
On  misted terrain
Some narrow viewpoints
From wind twisted pane
Some climb a ladder
stepping on heads
to get loftier views
and are lowered instead
Others find pleasure
By closing the blinds
Some stop to think
and blink
poets
wink...

There's a call out to the ladies on the Soup
It's your chance to give all of us the scoop
in a collaboration offering female advice
and varied opinions on men, to be precise
Please send only four lines to Brenda Chiri
with your viewpoints on men or your theory...

Sipping slowly
Fast broken
Reading into
Words unspoken

Sailing into neaps and swollen
Tides of ethereal friendship
Kindled kindred souls 
sailing unseen waters
Blithely sharing
miles apart
Viewpoints of
heart
 
As daydreams 
of wet canvas
stroke cheeks
of Mersey fog
in salty
dirty brown...

Look deeper still
To know clear will


A voice now speaks
Feel what truth streaks


Know how heart feels
Live then sure will


Give in to joy
Let peace employ


Here by the way
Watch change play


Poise follows choice
Purge noise from voice

Looking inside the mirror

Rambling thoughts
Reflection in a window
Standing still
Frozen in time
Is this me?
Shall I not
Be anything
So many information.
Are my views
Mine
Or are other people’s
Opinions
Influencing me?
Is there charnel 
Inside
That sifts the many viewpoints.
Are nothing
My original thoughts....

Depravity depravity
Are you moral’s declivity
Sweet  libidinous enslavement on
Viewpoints collectivity.

Debauchery debauchery
A lewd and tempting witchery
It captivates imagination
And flagellates prudery.

Decadent decadence
Do not insult intelligence
You pervert the innocent
And corrupt resilience

Youth is a time of great optimism,
when energy in boundless supply flows,
and strong, unyielding viewpoints produce schism,
'tween parent and teen o'er what each one knows.
Should parents try to look through the prism,
of the time when they faced their teenage woes,
they may have a little more sympathy,
and treat their teens with much more empathy....

Ignore me
and know that I am grateful.
See me as a statue
and I'm content.
Leave me to my idyll:
I find more respect in solitude
than compliments.
I know more of love from silence
than from kisses.
I've learned more of human kindness 
from passing strangers
than from people
spouting mindless viewpoints
as though it were the word of God....

Here are more Senryu 
poems about friendships. 
Those who are your crew =]

Parents give advice
but our friends, knowing more, have
usable answers.

We laugh at the same 
moments - at home, school, or play
- we have shared viewpoints.

We laugh at how we 
won’t turn into our moms
but we know we will.

We share so many
inside jokes - we speak
our own language....

Barefoot on a sand dune staring far
Feeling I was standing by a star
In so much space at speeding pace
My pulse did race 
As I embraced my right to face
This solid place 
On shifting drifting sand
This glimpse of time
Caught in rhyme
Eternal twisting fate
Expanding at demanding rate
Diminishes my self to see
A dune of sand
Is all that's left
Of mountains
Rising from the sea...

some say he's just confident,
   you say, no, he's very arrogant,
others say he's opinionated,
   you say simply hard-headed;

for some, he's open-minded,
   for you,  plainly uncommitted,
for others, he's truly tolerant,
   for you, he's heretic, ignorant,

some say he's a freedom-fighter,
   you call him terrorist murderer,
these matters of point of view,
   viewed and construed by you!...

An image that changes into a big and small
A body that morphs dependent upon our choice
Viewpoints perfection without insightful depth perception
Bodies adapting to the growing twisted with indifference
Processing the cells division into being a whole unit 
The body a group or just the body of you
Fluid is the rapid beat of the body

Paradox humanity widespread insanity
Violent diet; plus viewpoints inviolate

Control as destiny? In monster intensity'
Dystopian intellect; humans at disconnect
Poisoned minds, engineer own immunity.

Ah ! I see stones!
I have lines on my face
They mature me
I see viewpoints - perceived
Mixed emotions
The vibes in my head
Hearing the words that you said
It's compliments?
Isn't it so
These words are all I know
Stones on my mind
What then shall I find?
I am perplexed
It's all convex
Concave? It sunk in
Here we go again
It's in my head
The words you said
"I love you"  isn't an issue
Apologies mean nothing
I recollect
I will always remember
The words you said......

It's been quite awhile
Discern life's complexities
Take more viewpoints

Futile mass events 
Authorities blame each one
Attracting mix ups

Life are like choices
More people can't accept it
A thought is a thing

Living is dying
Light coexists with darkness
Unfathomable

Men of God glimpse more
Worst valid visual events 
Prayers can't alter

Consciousness soar high
Crab mentality exists
Overflowing fears

Inner is outer
You exude what you attract
Embrace all of them....
