Poetic Fragments

Poetic Fragments(10/17/2016-Leonard C. Gesinski)

Reflected

On the river’s glassy surface

Twinkling stars…..

Ska Lucy(Once Upon a Dream)

Ska Lucy(Once Upon A Dream)

 

The sparkle 

in her hazel eyes

dazzle

 

her voice singing

through 

the ocean’s howl

 

her golden locks

blown

so wildly 

in 

the ocean breeze

 

this medusa’s 

rage

so cleverly disguised

 

her song

…your beckoning

to dance on the cliff’s edge

 

 

 

this brief enchantment

to 

one’s doom

 

the ocean’s scent

the seaweed covered depths

the ocean breeze

 

 

as

she

waves

from 

 

below

and daydreams

-basho’s frog does not interrupt

another pair of sneakers

hangs from 

the

powerline

Poetic Fragments

 

unrequited

a white rose

stands sentinel atop

an

empty table

even the paint

on the old war horse

…..slow to fade

winter wind

whisking

away

bits and pieces

of

yesterday’s dreams

blistering forth

this heartless sun

one fall afternoon

Poetic Fragments

 

Those precious moments

quivers

ripples

in this massive pool

this seemingly flat

blue

stilled surface

time

countless

these precious

memories

so few

from

clearest colour,

sharpest details

to those in faded blurry grays

details rubbed flat clean

those memories…

life experiences…

smiles…

joys…

triumphs…

hurts….

and pain…

one no greater

than the other

in the larger

scheme

of things

this massive collective

…..life

 

I am reminded of how short

55 years really is.

 

You will be missed…..

 Goodbye dear friend….

Captured

prize

thing

object

marginalized

imprisoned

feared

teased

 

this,

 

my home….my prison

 

once

this hunter became

the hunted

 

fate sealed

 

inside,

looking out

my story alone

but….

 not where it all started

 

not

where it was all ever meant to be

 

but always,

so many eyes

staring

 

only the night

brings about

temporary peace

 

only to have the day

start

over….over….over

but,

you cannot ever really know me

 

truly know

how and what

makes me

tick

 

can you ever

really

 

know

 

how it feels?

 

these walls

these bars

 

these years

 

rage

wild impulse

 

so far

 

deep

 

inside

 

but

lessons still have not been

learned

 

 

1914….2014

 

how time does indeed rush by

 

but not all things

 

change

 

life is life is life is life
