"panoramic" poems
Filter the perfect shade of the forenoon sun, Not too bright, not too dull. For with ease and carefree thoughts, You let the sunbeam-drizzling fairies play As the beauty reflected in your retinas. Capture this scenic view: Where the burnt chestnut colored oaks And mudstained sweetheart sundress of yours Dance in three-four beats of waltz. The Crayola strokes of the skies And the watercolor streaks of daydreams and nightmares Paint the canvas of your disquited thoughts. This is the peripheral view from your suncrashed irises and corners, This is your world. Let your knees down to your sore feet Be engulfed by the chasms of the bewildered grass, As the smile makes it way to your plump spring lips; Callused fingers from guitar strings Twirl and twist the blades, Cutting through flesh And green and red and blue and yellow, All sorts of color came spilling from your playful bruise. From this panoramic view of yours Of a wonder wonderland, Where the ticks of clock Follow the sunflower throughout time and forever, This is the beauty of that stem: A key to escapism To a well-dreamt lovely world.

Elizabeth and God exist in a sunflower grave. Her mother and father slit her stomach open and watched the contents pour out like spaghetti confetti. Tommy, Elizabeth's boyfriend, rode his ocean blue Huffy, until the tread on his tires grew bald and until the grips were blanketed by dead skin. Looking for her, panoramic views of the horizon leapt beside him. Silhouettes of his legs, churned and kissed the orange and caramel dusk. With every tear in his hamstrings and calves, the **** in his sky grew and swallowed the memory of Elizabeth Mendenhall, Honor Student. Margot, Elizabeth's twelve year-old sister, was an idealistic soul. Taking a Sharpie, she wrote on her sister's wall, "Liz, there is no death greater than the loss of self, and no life greater than one where we continuously search for what self is." Margot struggled with concentrating and frying eggs - but focused on the sunflower garden, dangerously and perfectly. Hilary and Brendan were thirty-five and thirty-six years-old. They stabbed their daughter thirty-seven times. They don't know why they did it, they just couldn't think of a reason not to do it. She begged for her life. The yellow petals of the sunflowers caught blood-drops and, after enough struggle, floated down to kiss and lay on Elizabeth's slow-twitch body. Hilary looked at Brendan and said, "What does this mean?" Brendan shrugged and said, "This is new to me." The garden was an oven, and digging her grave was like pulling back on a cheap, plastic latch. Elizabeth had pale, pre-cooked pie crust skin. The slits in her stomach looked like peeks into a cherry stuffed filling. Crinkled lips looked indented by a stainless steel fork, back and forth, side to side. And the soil rained upon her like the reversal of hot vapor, returning home. Elizabeth and the Sunflower Garden.

One gorgeous Spring day we gathered on my deck, a few friends and I, to sing and play some beautiful music loved by us all. My home, on a remote ridge top of the Sierra mountains, offered a panoramic view. Not a single house could be seen-- only the vast forest surrounded us. We accompanied our voices with two guitars, a flute, and a small harp. As we sang, the air grew still, and the tall, fragrant pines encircling the house seemed to lean in, listening. After awhile we paused, to savor in silence the sublime feeling created by the music. The harpist stood her harp on the table. Just then, a gentle breeze came up and the harp began to sing as the wind's fingers caressed the strings, enchanting us all with a heavenly music unlike anything we had ever heard. Would that my heart were as that harp, responsive to Your lightest touch-- singing endlessly of love.

Wind Song
A futile battle enmeshed Overpowering emotions struggle to stay afloat Heaving a deep breath I sink in Isolated in my despair Sliced through bone and marrow Pain wrenches my soul, vice in its hold A fragrance wafts in Electrifying my soul Reverberating memories explode Bursting to surface Tender moments, the story of a heaped up soul In every cell of my being I feel you Emanating exuding your deep truth Your touch like butterflies Transcendental your love Rewinding reel by reel The story of an unsaid love I see you close, though I bear you not My heart lost inside your soul Irreplaceable the magic Weaved by those deep emerald embers Wants each moment to unfold I ease back and surrender once again To the assurance of this bliss Entrenched deeply in this moment Serenity shrouds a warm blanket Intense emotions lay calm, spent My soul in glorious serenity elevates You are undeniably a part of me My paragon, my serenity Issue forth bright light, vibrant colors Adorn the deep dark night sky Your love a painting a million hues Panoramic and divine. I LOVE YOU....

Your love...my serenity!
The assassins hit in 63 And Camelot was gone, Inspiration vanished And the darkness sang it’s song. *Vietnam escalated Brezhnev’s Russia loomed, Africa was eviscerated And Red China entombed. *Floating on a long white cloud The Kiwis were replete With abundant British markets For their butter, wool and meat. *The Europeans went **** And Britain lost it’s way When the Beatles and the Rolling Stones Monopolized their day. *Man landed on the moon And raised the Yankee flag And they shot Mahatma Ghandi For making good things out of bad. *The Berlin Wall dividing, The Cold War tense and spare, ICBM’s threaten silently In their silos of despair. *Bob Menzies ruled Australia As an amassing of his loot And his White Australia Policy Condemned him as a brute. *Found naked on her tousled bed, Blonde hair across her face, Marylin Monroe is dead The world’s a darker place. *In the Age of Aquarius Our children lost their youth, LSD and smoking *** And Afro’s were the proof. *Lots of leg in miniskirts, High bouffant’s in the hair, Screaming teeny boppers Rock with Elvis on “the Air”. *Giant, Rawhide, Ponderosa, Martin Luther King, Kaftans and a cheese fondue, Abortion is a sin! It’s a sixties kaleidoscope, A panoramic skim Of an era of wonderment Which you and I lived in. Marshalg @the Gate Mangere Bridge 20th January 2009

Skim of the Sixties
Her ribs crackled, in the skeleton night. And I remember my mouth on hers, where atomic fish hooks attached our lips. Where there was nothing like kissing like our God wasn't dead. She was accused of killing a taxi driver in the Brazilian underbelly. Smoking a cigarette, she dropped it on the ground, spat on it, and crushed it with her bare foot, saying she fell in love with the way his sleep-drenched body lay. And I told her to stay home. And I told her that they'd find her. But she didn't stay home. And they did find her. Chasing her through the Babylon brush, insults were thrown and so were balloons of gasoline. Each pink, yellow, and green vessel floated in the air, as an internal opera heightened. And sour splashes spread across her body, as she fled from the vigilante mob. The children danced along the panoramic horizon she ran beside, laughing, pointing, singing. The slumbering sorrow of the situation became evident, and she started to feel the calm of fleeting life. Her dreams aborted and her ideals became fallacies, and with the sound of fuzzy motors in the background, her heart leapt and her feet slipped. Rope ate into her, wrapping her like the orphaned recklessness of each set of eyes that painted her. She squirmed amongst the cheers. She cried with every thrown beer and balloon. The empty-eyed males gang ***** her. The women covered the children's eyes, and the children tried to move their mothers' hands. And I pushed my way through the crowd. And I saw her smothered in blood, beer, and gasoline. I wanted to halt the hurricane that destroyed morality. But I am a coward. Frozen by my fear, I, too, am a murderer. And a murderer I'll always be, for the burning of all that was good. Sudden flames soared towards the sky. Laughter escaped as molotov cocktails exploded onto her body. Her head turned towards the crowd, as flames scampered across her face. I saw in her, what I never saw before, which was the human race.

(As seen from Sorrento) The blue of the sky dips sharply to meet the ocean, a panoramic view broken only by Vesuvius puncturing the horizon. It rises a thousand feet deadly in it's beauty; it stands for all to wonder. Proud and powerful, yet unconcerned it sleeps; daring to be woken

Pixelated Perspective
Take this metal car and plane And give me a camel or a horse Take these four walls I want to trade them In for a tent I will pitch it at the bottom of the Mountains On the banks of Barada That runs through Damascus Or the shores of Tigris That binds Turkey and Iraq In the suburbs of Amman Amongst the unique contrast Of old and new Or the deserts of Arabia The unknown regions of Yemen Maybe on the slopes of the pyramids In the oasis of Libya The valleys of Kashmir On the beaches of Zanzibar I'll trade in the can of pop For coconut water Or thirst quenching Organic blends of fruit juice That I will hand pick Straight from the trees Sleep to the lullaby Of rain and birds In a tree house In Kuala Lumpur Awake to the **** a doodle doo Of a rooster In Bangladesh Then go and collect The eggs from the hens I'll trade these windows For a panoramic view Technology and social networks For loyalty and love Go back to simple living Be friends with the earth

Trade
Beggars line the busy streets cup and cloth outstretched the look of desperation etched on their faces like the dawn shadow of a carved lithograph they don't ask me for spare change just a simple nod of acknowledgement; even after a shower and a change of clothes I must have their look, that broken beaten look the look of the street. George Square is busy today tourists happy clicking panoramic memories admiration of forced foolish bravery at the Cenotaph a list of names they will never know and marvel at the antiquated architecture to later revel in the wonderment of how anyone in a civilised and modern society can do without skyscrapers while they grudgingly share a half-measure of a single malt I sit on a bench that marks a families love and remembrance to the passing of a woman named Judith the pigeons flock in carnal mass gatherings knowing I've been there for 3 hours already because I have the look of someone who hides his crusts because I have the hungry eyes of the look of the street. The well dressed man at the end of the alleyway, the plume of carcinogen cigar smoke like a coal fired power station  in the sunlight this is where they go for over-priced craft ales with Sautéed Wild Rabbit starter and £65 Wagyu Tomahawk Steak a place for fine pickings in the alleyway ashtrays dispensed cancer sticks left disregarded the half-finished defiance of another £9 packet that was simply spare change to begin with I hover around making false promises on a deadline phone call pretending in mime to be semi-OK that the compadres are running late and "tell me about the theatre show later" the misdirection amid the camouflage of plastic peace lilies while my other hand rummages the unspent tobacco and the black-on-black door steward keeps clocking me because I have the look of the street.

#28 | 31 Poems for August I’m slowly falling apart, but all I can think about, is holding the pieces of your broken heart together. You are the rain I keep dancing in and I see no use in being under an umbrella. I’ve somehow forgotten the lyrics of my favourite love song. Slowly sing with me and help me remember. All I want to do is help you appreciate love’s panoramic view. All I want to do is know you better and move closer to you. There are millions of poems and words, but none can explain my love for you. Give me something that I can hold on to. Give me something that cannot be defined. Help me build up my faith when I’ve lost the spirit to believe. Provide my lungs with sufficient air to breathe. Show me the pictures of you that haven’t been Instagram-filtered or tainted with Photoshop. Teach me how to slow dance to the rhythm of your heartbeat. I’m less interested in seeing you “dropping it like it’s hot” or showing me all the bad things that you’re not. Let me be more than just words for you. Let me be more than just hands that long to embrace you. Let me be someone you can relate to. Someone your family and friends would love to be introduced to. Someone who can find the hidden words in your silence. Let me be the peace that heals your wounds of violence. Let me be the piece that completes your complex puzzle. You are everything to me. If only you could realise that, if only you could see.

Rootclod Rudiments
I am walking. Pushed slightly, by the northeast. My companion yellow in color, fondles the air with his muzzle. Our strides take us forward. Galloping cracked pavement. Exploring familiar arch ways, of hemlock and bittersweets. Our view is panoramic. With flights honking in the distance, as they return to the waking land. We huddle at the top. Where we watch the day, tuck away into eves pocket. This light is special. It is a sensation of nothing, and everything. It fills you and the land, with just enough. Then swiftly dims away. Leaving softly. Is truly a perfect, ending.

A mariner on the ocean of the eternal, Looking above the bow, A panoramic view of the presentation of self, Nautical boundaries and jurisdictions, Inhabiting and found, Consciousness of all, Abound.

Dream is but a life, Severed from congruence and chronology. Did I imagine my memory? The adolescent blizzard, The tar pits of first love, The prepubescent honeycomb, The shedding of innocent skin, The infant cobweb spun by genetics. Death at the leg of my mate, Birth among a thousand siblings. Climbing to the ground From the sky where i was buried, Resting in rapid eye ether, Transparent atmospheres solidify With ruby whips of gravity. My reflection in your fingernails, My face askew in distortion, Your hand's a house of mirrors, Peeling at my silhouette. I'm drinking fire, As we cremate the sea. Nirvana becomes panoramic, The air ripples. The topaz pillar i held becomes my body pillow, And I wipe the sleep from my eye. The dream unstitched, We sew reality back up, But the thread gets thin At night.

Nancy Thompson Syndrome
High up there, I glance at you You hide again, sometimes peeping, While I put aside My worries for this day. Waves and curves seem to shroud you This early April evening Though you are perfectly rounded. We watch each other, You eye me down, I look above, to you... We speak in our silence, With me, listening, Offering all the warmth i could share with you, For, your Ivory white light, is cold and distant Unlike your warm yellow crescent .........of some nights ago.... This evening, you awake in me Dormant, unsettling thoughts, I am confused, yet, You show me a panoramic view of faces They dwell in my mind as I gaze at you But there is this brilliant one That smiles beneath your moon glow It stares me in the eye, Speaks to me, without words... My breathing evens out, It becomes a melody Because the time has arrived... These few moments, When restlessness drifts away As you shine down on me When impatience departs from me, And I am calmed suddenly And I don't know what else to think of... For, this evening, You, and this brilliant face have once again ........comforted me.... I am warmed, I am glad. I am now smiling, looking up, at you, My April moon, I bid you goodnight, I am beaming, as silently...I thank you....

ONE FULL MOON NIGHT
at breakfast another hotel restaurant another choice to be made of mediocre cooked or bland continental a fish bowl of floor to ceiling panoramic windows people-watching strangers passing insignificantly through one another's universes parents desperate to negotiate the morning without a scene suits with shirt and tie top buttons undone for now retiree couples happy in each others silence or those lucky ones who still find words when alone together or the curious solo diners alone and lost in their own thoughts or striving to hide how they watch those others as they go about their business of goodness-knows-what another banquet shared unbeknownst to all in attendance

"Go Slow", I told my life in January "I want to take this journey at your pace" "I want to build those bridges again" "I want to complete you as I would always want" "Hello!” I heard a call from the near far. Was it really a response from the healing heart of February?! "I hold the right to set your pace" "I hold the right to bless you sleeps" “I hold the right to curse you sleeplessness" “I decide the right for you in everything" Until the obscene April summer turned up, It was not life; but the Cyclone’s desire to fell everything en route. I learned; there might be things to cherish But would not want to own again Rains in Kerala carry the rhythms of life I once again made those paper boats At my pace, as the 10 year old, And as July demanded Life grew deeper within, in that rhythm of rains Nursing the one who nursed me for long I learned, there are only cycles in life, There is only movement in life The flight took off, despite the pedantic reasons thrown over the tarmac In that morgue of frozen mummies, I felt the futility of expectations My Wings of fantasies halted, on top of the panoramic Great Wall In the arc lights of award night, I enjoyed the pleasure of losing Walking alone the Washington streets, I found the walks of life... November comes concealing a lot; it conceive sorrows It grows a detached attachment within and around you November reinforces the relativity in everything Life, love, respect, trust and confidence I like the reds in December, it's flamboyance I like the irony of "hope" brought in by this very end! There are only cycles in life, no gains or losses There is only movement in life, some forward And some stuck in the maze and not knowing which way.

You're having a bad day not everything is good? Yes, that's very true... come in and sit down. You haven't eaten? Well... you came to the right place. Here is a nice armchair, my Grandmother's from Ethen Allen yes... a beautiful deep burgundy color with goldenrod yellow twirling paisley in a burning orange background... lovely she is her shapely curves... rugged, straight lines carved into flowers her cherry stained legs worn edges... so soft, comfortable and weathered I agree she is very reliable and sturdy and she is kind so forgiving...yes? Oh, fresh coffee ... ahhhh you smelled it, of course here you go a steaming cup of hopeful dreaming... brilliant, in a aromatic plume of Tahitian Hazelnut swirling ribbons of fresh Vermont cream cinnamon rolls in the oven sugary love smells intoxicating... yes? glazed sugar awaiting as cool crisp dried leafy breezes flow through waiting drapes of warm white linen Yes, so very  poetic this place... A gift...why I'd say! I love this time of year very much... especially the trees... floating in the air the leaf dancers drift silently waving Goodbye in the Fall winds Welcome to my  Vermont to the beautiful Green Mountains in splendid peaking colors panoramic splendor The natives so oh...you know They call 'em verdant visions again come springtime come on, stay awhile put on a friendly smile a welcome done in style my home is your home take your hat off what's the hurry?

Happy Belated Anniversary.
When the dunes turn to jazz And the grains dazzle in the moonlight The scorpio circle mating-dance No straight paths For a desert snake No chance for a fragile man. No refuge for the Citizens of Eden Newton's hand would deter The Fall Intercept gravity's apple And the ceilings of the world Would be far lower. The earth is the ocean oasis Panoramic, oceanic, vast The desert dunes of space expands The wood bends; the paper folds; Objects collide; the tempest storms And whips the sand. The dunes turn to jazz The Mystic Rose and the Magnolias dance The desert hand expands, expands, expands Raw power. The Dunes Turn to Jazz And the humans cower.
