Ink roar

~ Mindlovemisery's Menagerie ~


The words thunderously
read themselves in
my voice,
my ribs,
my posture, -
a quest to find
Achilles’ heel,
get stung,
then stop for retreat
reflecting…
the kiss of heaven.

Cinquenta

~ B&P's Shadorma & Beyond ~

Playing sick

Weary,
my three eyes playing
musical chairs
two ways.

~ B&P's Shadorma & Beyond ~

Who says rats?

Grown big
he distinguish
white noise
from peppermint.

Cinquenta - 50 /portuguese, here - poetic form of 50 characters.

No pretense

Art by Bill L'Engle


Hush, desperate thoughts
Listen to beautiful beat
I walked down to earth
          Watch a new life’s hatching eggs
          Heart in the sync – no pretense

Star gnome



The Master guided to send a smile toward starry sky.

And It’s come to me back in a golden jumpsuit:
covered arms, short legs, angle hood.

The starry gnome walking impatiently,
the story formed between two ‘om’.

Two hands holding the Earth tenderly,
sending the light to whom it concerned

with words: “You can make it.”

Slowly in

Photo by Brooke Shaden


                 Here I’m in the doubt/dare/bite chair
unhappy moments…, TV on the ceiling,
courteous “what channel?”,
“please, music” and ‘thanks’.

Expectation time long….longer..
askew little art on the wall
in the rusty as if sanguinary frame

Guest house? move closer...
the furry pet passed by in the hurry…
time? smell the flowers
pulled in…the crimson scent/sense

found in the air…which way?
gone by wind…the cup, the pet, the saucer
steady rotating at the periphery….

notice vent blades approaching
oh, silver tassels…
Grab one!…Bite on!...Done!
…………………………………

Nightmare catch/cage better.

dove ti portano flori

Inspired by the Floriana's Art



1.                Burst!

Thou brought hex yellow holographic pomace,
eyes lit wise centered moons absorbing
pixelated expression, climbed uphill blue
muscle strangely stubborn over inevitable
meeting the mask/smile greeter, a serpentine
of dusty road tickling the numb nervous
flash-smash-choice…

2.                As if it possible to shut up…

They gathered to pull/cut/grow vibrations,
the expression of prick-dream-aroma
mango/blue struck/dump down
stems like limbs, armless buds and leaves
bottomless balloon/baloney views
water smeared, watched from above
umbrella-headed crowded cloaks.

Noise

Super Powers by Howard Finster ~ AVAM 


Thy farsighted glance,
closer things lose the shape,
just direction exists and smell,
          an aura, layers of thoughts,
          a choice to step into strata…

bringing a rigid
discomfort, resistance – noise...
do I want to engage?

those past  blueprints
never been my perception
for this new world of 'I'

how it feels today?
move to place that aligned
with the greatest dreams
          words: ‘peace’, ‘certainty’, ‘happy’,
          'seniority’, - trust yourself.
