Politicians
are simply
socially sanctioned con-men
(and women)
with taxpayer salaries
and a teleprompter.
A bit of a generalization, but still.
quiet chaos
resting silently inside a soul
longly lost by the spirit
that meditates calmly now
inside the dome filled by dark emptiness
it's cold, a freezing gloom
but the breeze is pleasant
it awakens my whole being
making me realise
what a fulfilled emptiness I am living
emptiness is a dark deep blue
and it makes everything so clear

Poetic T
Made with fading ink, she was so delicate she
Played upon the page, ink was all I could see
Pretty delicate lines  were etched but there was
Pity in these fragile lines I etched then paused.

I was falling in love with this woman on a page,
Cry as I might she was locked in a pencilled cage
So many imprints were erased redrawn within her
Flow she was all beauty became a confused blur.

Fingers shook not wanting to ruin this moment, it
Lingers in my heart, this picture I do wishfully knit.
Above I hover of her features, but she is static, still
Doves are etched on my heart but are silently fanatic.

Not able to lift a pencil she has captivated me I am
Fraught with delusions of love inanimate, I am her lamb.
Caught in her smuggled eyes where tears have descended
Thought is my savours as I realise and erase her it is ended.

make me a poem make me eternal
call me a rose make me
alive like the strawberry sky you see
or meadow grasses softly blowing in the wind
make me that streetcar you caught in 69
down in Haight- Ashbury
or the words to a song sing me
delicately
just like Joni Mitchell would
call me out make me bleed
out
or just mention me once
