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

Was out in the garden at dawn looking up at the sky
Drawing a line from the star down to my feet wrote all the things that were in that line of vision...

from the tiniest of creatures  
to the furthest of stars
all things exist within each other
dissolution
and all things
return to their essence
what has come
returns
from whence it came
to chaos and the void
what was in between
is as never existed
Really not sure about this one    was walking on a winter beach thinking about infinity
any comments at all (critical too) are very welcome as it was partly deliberately "written' and didn't just arrive of it's own accord...;o)

catching up and thankyou
Eileen Prunster Dec 2012
I've missed so many poems
time flew while i was gone
come back and look at what is here
where do i begin
i want to answer comments
reply to all the poems
tell the folks ive missed you all
and thanks for hanging in
despite me going missing
without much of a word
you've stayed and let me know
my absence not absurd
so thank you all for staying
and reading what i've wrote
i hope you understand i care
just by this little note
wanted to thank everyone for responding to my poems posted recently despite me dropping off and not replying or responding to anyone else lately, your a great bunch of artistic, perceptive  people and it really means a lot to me....Thankyou all... **

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
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

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

we danced and we sang
throughout the rooms much laughter rang

sorry said dad your sister is dead

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

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
