night ascends

mid winter evening

stars glitter  
earth and sky are one
everything bound

in eternity
a gift

look to yourself

vanity thy name is woman?
Eileen Prunster Jul 2012
why is it
men cannot   see
that what   appears
to be    vanity      (in a woman)
is often
fear
because female looks
are so important
to the male

PLAYING IT SAFE
Eileen Prunster Jul 2014
i can feel love
for a handful
of men
is it love?
or something
dilute
to feel this way
about 4
or 5

we do not "date"
or even kiss (oh but our eyes....)
we  
talk
laugh
sing
joke
together

i can feel love
for a handful of men
is it love
or something dilute

why do i ask
Eileen Prunster Jun 2014
the desire to be free
of other people
of a past that clings
often leads to acts
that pave the way to remorse
a path littered
with the rotting corpses
of other peoples dreams
Eileen Prunster Feb 2013
I feel I am a faithless lover
for I have strayed
not to another
but further than either imagined I would
from you

as is
Eileen Prunster Mar 2012
he picks up attitudes
one by one

and tries them on like dresses

turning himself to and fro
discarding the ones he doesn't deem fit
he goes forth to face the world

she stands in the corner
silently
watching him

wishing he would come to her naked
About mercurial lover that drove me to distraction

Glued
Eileen Prunster Sep 2012
Sometimes I sit here
all day
reading the poems
having a say
day passes by
nothing got done
leave it behind
outside I'll run
fluff bunnies beckon
don't heed their call
rather be out
watching leaves fall
I try not to spend too much time on the computer reading the poems here and often miss so many great poems/poets, Oh that there was all the time in the world and some Lol

he visits emotions a tourist sampling foreign dishes
savouring this one neglecting another
not returning to ones that don't fit his wishes

returns to his life of no end and no start
then looks forward not back

crystallizing

do animals wonder
Eileen Prunster Apr 2013
death has no beauty
it is null and void
vacant
as is life
life is ugly actually
death is void
there is a beauty in non existance maybe
or no awareness of it
like a tree?
maybe
who knows if a tree is aware
or animals
well they are but
maybe not fraught
wondering the importance of existance
or non
do u ever wonder
if they do
i do
often
wonder
whenever i see documentries

Full moon
on the west side
while sun rises
on the east
sights such as these
bring me to my knees
to be blessed
by such a feast
standing in my garden   sun has not quite risen   magic   i'm sure time stops     The moon still shining high in the west as the sun starts to appear in the east   you could almost split the sky in half the horizans look so differant yet part of each other

looking all around

bounderies

she is quite beautiful
death is not so bad.... ;o)  the getting there however...

On giving advice to a loved one that seems hell bent on self destruction
