Rue
Delusions, backward glances, blurred vision et al coalesce in a poem that talks about alchemy and life.
Oppressive delusions
begin to serenade the mind.
Backward glances, unfinished as
Blurred visions whirl with pleasure.
In a sky transfigured
transparent and wavering
memories of water evaporate,
Damp hands summon in remorse.
Alchemy mutates a life of meaning
to splintered icons beneath the earth.
Somewhere a telephone rings,
and recalibrates the universe.
Idolatory
Rules, choices and mistakes fetter and imprison but a new beginning ushers the poet to a world of happiness and joy.
Living-
surviving
between all boundaries.
Rules-
The light
escaping
is always within grasp.
Choices-
Winding through the face
of another.
Entangled-
in the prison
capsule
of darkness.
Mistakes-.
waiting
stalling.
To move forward
in love,
happiness
painting a new beginning.
