A Moment’s Kiss
Hesitation’s pause
seconds
like longest hours
chances
there for the taking
but for an ever twirling dance
…uncertainty’s cold paralysis
indecision
lost moments
…ticking off
never once halted
time’s staid guardianship
alas,
the plane of indecision is broken
this, the first of many
stolen moments

Jagged Cold Winds
Ever Wildly Galloping
Under Canopy
of
Gray Skies
Readying for
Winter’s Frigid Embrace
As Seasons Change
Such
The Wicked Immediacy
Frailties
Of Turning Colours
of Autumn
Rudely Ushered Out
For Snows and Cold
that
Prepare to Cover
Earth
In Preperation
for
Her Slumber
and
Eventual Renewal
And Promise
Awaiting
Kiss of Spring

Teasing the Angels
With Damning Cup
Full to the Brim
Enmity
Self-Loathed
Cursed as
Tantalus’ forever Cursed Reachings
Towards Branches
of Such Poisoned Fruit Above
Teased from afar
Faintest Twinkling,
Briefest Glint
Fool’s Gold
Cursed to be Pulled Back
By The Weight
Of Own Blinding Greed
Into the Swallowing Echoed
Dark Abyss Below
No Matter,
For Once Again
The Cost Will be Dared
Reality be Damned

Many Pardons
For any Numbed Slumberings
No Longer Capable of
Deeper Empathy
Blunted Senses
Pulverized by
Constant Stream
Of Everyday News of the World
Leave it to We Humans
To Perfect
the Art of Inhumanity

Paroxysm
As Sparks Transformed
to an All Consuming Inferno
Gradually Built Animosities
Built One by One by One-Thousand
The Day Came
Where The Accumulated Hammered Chiseled Bits
Widened Miscroscopic Cracks to Gaping Fissures
In the Broken Mind
A Deranged Person’s
Gunshots Rang Out
Leading to Massacre of Twenty-some
One Dark Friday
……Potential’s Unrealized
…….Smiles Left Etched in Memory Alone
………Questions Upon Questions
……..Spinning Rationalizations
No Answers

Yearnings(through Time)
Dream (Photo credit: noukorama)
Through Strained
and Teary Eyes
Two Pairs
of Outstretched Arms
Reaching and Stretching
Beyond Far Shores
Towards Each Other
Through Fogged Corridors
Of Many Eons
and Generations Past
Hints of
Mother Tongue
Pleasantly Foreign
To My Own Ears
Voices and Song
Wielkopolska Past
Dialects, Dreams, Allusions
Finally
Silent Understandings
and
Knowing Smiles
Finding Common Ground
Through
The Ages
No Longer
Perfect Strangers
Ambivalence
Resolved

Yearnings(Through Time)©Leonard.C. Gesinski 12/05/2012
Ghost of the Present
Living Vicariously
Just Allowing
The Shadows to Pass
In Between Places
Words..Unspoken
Hidden Regrets
Sounds from other Times
Past Places
As the
Sights Pass from Eyes
to Gray Hidden Places
Memories Off
Foggy Landscapes
Even Vaguer Recollections
Buried Deeper
Listed Between
Impossibilities
Discerning Between
Realities and Fantasies
Mere Smoke and Ashes
