[hometext] => A dream frozen on paper - I wrote it for myself
[bodytext] => I open my eyes An acquaintance beside me Sitting at our stadium-educational Emblazoned red and white We spoke of invasion A rivalry that was rotten We walked down the strips of mountain And fastened my eyes above The enemy's stadium-educational Burnish black and gold My peer disappeared open-mouthed I climbed to its reach I knew what I sought Front to Back A crater in my mind In two leaps I was there Left: the brood Right: the glass I push through the glass Eyes searching I slipped into the room You were shocked A mockery was there beside you but hazed out Nearer No I didn't want to touch you No You didn't want to touch me But we embraced What had felt like decades of emptiness was filled Shaping into old Comfortable positions Speaking softly Feeling warmth The mockery emerged through the door Small Brash Loud Short A rat-gnat like thing Something about him made my hands clench A threat was shot at me I caught it with anticipation Reshaped it Threw it back Another Another I grew ****** Risen I faced the mockery headlong He spew feeble words I launched my fists Battered He retreated I still in flames You cajoled me to your side Spoke in whispers I learned of your hatred for this place Imprisoned it seemed You longed for escape I longed for you I arose once more to peek into the hall Planning for departure I opened the path The mockery stood there waiting I...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
