Oculi Nov 2017
There are other worlds, they whispered
One hands me a cage, I'm his bird
I left myself in there to die
An eagle without wings can't fly
Think of new worlds within these walls
But never leave to see them all
Never know the way they did fall
Just eat your seeds, my tired dear
Another song from when I started getting back into poetry. For a little more info, read the note under Moanin'.
Derek Miller Mar 2013
Oh, smooth, smooth unity

A stylistic rhythm penetrates the
boundaries of the world's
appraisal of orthodoxy

AVANT-GARDE


Lively arpeggios and Righteous
time lift the soul with
tones of emotion

LANQUIDITY


Transitions that manifest an
endless terrain of flowing
continuity

BLISS


An orange kite
swiftly descends
from the ominous,
yellow skies

Spontaneous strokes
of my brush dance in
a pool of glowing,
comfortable mist

The angry bullfrog
sits aimlessly in a
black lagoon, waiting
for the return of his heart

IMAGERY



You can see more than the eye

Music is your telescope
antony glaser Jun 2012
Black tulips on the marbled floor
have no place here.
They remind others of how we existed
suitable only for that dark journey,
by those deemed more worthy,
under whose azure skies,
only their abodes could shimmer
for we can have no part .

Leaves mottled in their separateness
turn our seasons  
into days of lanquidity,
out stretched briars
tear at the stolen codex.
surmising exoteric warnings,
that magpies again steal,  
under whose inciting  night
can we wade this walkway.

Whirling, in incessant motion
Circular, wrung out, excreting waste
The sacred body, the holy conductor
Of the forbidden, heretical "I"
Motions of intensity, lines and speed
In the face of abstract, scurrying rats
Face, the truly curious abomination
The single versus the several

Molecules revolving rapidly, rabidly
A veritable molecular-revolution
The many fluids of langue
Flowing languidly through rapids
Lanquidity, flux in meaning
Or meaning, nothing by nature
Likeness only, not even Nature
Not machinic, purely artificial

What is meant by "I disappear"?
An order, perhaps, not observation
Observed, of course, and obeyed
I disappear! I am no longer!
No longer what? No longer I!
A becoming, or unbecoming
A decision between void and oblivion
Will you meet me on the other side?
