Hi! A few of my favorite poems are here, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them

Broken Vase

Carbon Copies
Of each other
Who started this
Trend?
All asleep
Pretending to be wide eyed, awake
Putting on an elaborate masquerade
Slathering on
makeup
squeezing into
various
Clothes
All alike
Dressing up for...
Who?
Each other.
Not allowing themselves
to be open
Burying themselves
Under styles
Tubes of gel
Suffocating
under the pressure of remaining
those fragile
porcelain
dolls.

Through the Canaries Eyes

Colors, a palate so vast
All exquisite
only two ever alike
Jewels that see
appear sad
Glint with pleasure
Brim with tears
Bloodshot
Clear
Pearls
Some dark
Sightless
Never see how valuable
they are.

Free-Flight

Children can't fly with their arms outstretched
yet, it's every childs dream
But I could fly,
We all could
the day we jumped,
and landed on a cloud.

Cloud Nine
It was only a childish fantasy
A game
the car trunk served it's purpose
And so did the chalk
(as the town below)

Sliding off our cloud
Simultaneously extended our wings
and flew
over the small town
etched on the pavement in powdery chalk

Every so often
when I need to lose myself
I journey back to Cloud Nine
Where children can fly with their arms outstretched

The World Through Stained Glass

Those imperfect
Blind eyes
that see,
but only the surface
mute lips
that speak
Whose empty words hurt, stab, wound
they add up to
nothing.
Are mute,
don't know what they are saying
Towards the imperfections of
Skin,
Clothes,
Hair,
the world, and me.
I am who I am
I have eyes that see all
Lips that speak the truth, they know
I embrace perfection
An imperfection is the beginning.
In theirs
The end.

What will they think of next???

to revised, finished copy of this poem

Hello dear sir.
I was sitting, pondering
What will they think of next?
Well I have
an idea
When you have the time, dear sir
a break from inventing those ovens with memories, and,
Needless digital contraptions.
What the people really need
Is a bottle
A small simple bottle
It need not be any shape or size
Any color
No fringes or lace.
Must only have one function
Now listen here and take note
It must contain feelings
that's right.
If the world could trap
a laugh,
a smile,
pure joy
the feeling of 2 years
Carefree.
If we could have this one small thing dear sir
the world would be ever in your debt.

Ah, another person with a dream.
What is more important is to
Smaller discs for VCR's
and to make the cars run faster.
Put that page in the trash, and begin on the new project.
A way to watch Tv while jogging
on the street.
