“ Mind ” ~ inside out ~

Mind in a bind

As recall fades,

Be need to find

What in my soul,

Extends to mind

In part or whole,

Want learn turn

Mind inside out,

Then too return

And bring about,

Fixed process all

Mind outside in,

As far as I recall!

 

“ Hiding ”~ inside time ~

We chose hiding

Thus not to see,

Days accumulate

In fulgent degree,

Beg to decelerate

Its senescence art,

For to compensate

By young at heart,

Would inside time

Only suffer to hide,

From fading mind

We allege ‘tis alive,

In its state of decline!

 

“ Dancers ” ~ inside and out ~

It seems to start,
With hint of impulse
Inside the heart,
Where links ones soul
To body’s rhythm,
When legs cajole steps
To tug at your mind,
Harmonizing in time
How bodies move
With music’s define,
And dancer groove
In and out to infuse,
Ones body and mind!

“ He Is As One ” ~ with he who lives inside ~

 

He is as one

With he whom resides

Abidingly inside,

Who lived within

When body draped

With youthful skin,

Yet he who be therein

Albeit much the same,

Not so the he we see

Worn more than thin,

With cragged façade

Those years did carve,

Upon a now worn lad

The while resides as one,

With he who lives inside!

 

                                                       ode to they who have arrived

 

“ Dark Eyes ” ~ wants disguise ~

 

Sun rise

Or sun set,

Dark eyes

Seek to hide,

Held upset

Under guise

Of surprise,

Finds a place,

Said disguise

Of refuge inside,

An expression to bide!

 

“ One Word ” ~ a picture ~

One word

Facilely said

Offhand,

Be a picture

Amid a thousand,

That describes

Of pain’s stead

What therein lies,

Though want tell

Of their chagrin,

They’ll hold inside!

“ Awake In A Dream ” ~ though asleep it seems ~

I’m awake

In a dream

Though asleep

It would seem,

I recall

Having counted

Them all,

The sheep

Who bring sleep,

And so roam

In my head,

At their face

I dare peek,                                          

In their stead

Be those loved,

Lined my mind

More than few

Now reside, inside

A necropolis wall,

Knowing more

I’ll eventually find,

Though not sheep

While asleep

Awake in a dream,

From this side of the wall! 

“ Looking ” ~ from inside out ~

Looking

From inside out,

I see a face

Has me in doubt,

Though I know

It’s me inside and out,

I fail discern

This face be so,

As one I’d worn

The many years

Since I was born…

 

As lines of time

In crags so shape,

Thus bared façade

Conjures adverse,

Allows one see

Life be perverse…

 

Hence though I gaze

With woeful eyes,

The while I fantasize

At once arresting face,

Now to imagine wise

Mind so disguised

That I should visualize,

Looking from outside in!

“ Forever ” ~ one’s reside ~

Faces I knew

Line my mind,

More than a few

Forever more

Be now assigned,

Hence to reside

Somewhere inside,

Necropolises resign

Where I so find

They I had loved,

And whom I weep

When memory bides,

Awake or in my sleep!
