[bodytext] => Here on planet Earth Whims are granted in thirds Finish your food Or you won’t get dessert Lick the plate clean With water to quench your thirst Nothing goes to waste All is empty space A simple case Of a mistaken identity- A hurtful phase With a multiple personality face From onset to an elaborate escape Scattered like seductive tongues on a forgotten taste They flock for free goods In circles of blissful ignorance they pace Leave the wreckage for the wrecking crew A message was delivered The recipient never knew Links of events which escalate into the present tense Content in the moment of irrelevance Upset by the lack of a vivid consciousness A close shot yields to a frightful near miss A tear traded for the chance of a first kiss Enhance the reception or static will interrupt the seductive hiss The whispers of truthfulness Mister and misses Mistresses and minerals with delicious provisions Pillows scattered on mattresses a silky religion Nutritious grains Providing conditions of pain Revisions outdating original scripts A visit from the fairy tales on which they insist Are true meanings of lessons on life and its precious gifts And so the expanding rift In messianic promises Indeed do exists Reread the passages What is gleaned Is this: Here in the real world You don’t get everything you wish You can’t say a magic word And suddenly you’re indulged Magically you’re fulfilled A mere celebratory thrill Shallower in terms of resistance Words bounce off chests And leap into pockets of persistence Swept and unkempt Under the carpet of neglect Where no one protects another’s neck No one bothers to take a hard look Or even periodically check What was once here Has now surely left Gone Goodbye Good grief Oh my We are alone With nothing inside ______ __ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 360 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Mangos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

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. ©
