Sound Asleep (oxymoron)

Dreamy participation

In performed rendition

By the child prodigy

A solo concert on pianoforte

Amidst deafening silence

Of lone parent, panel of music

Discerning aficionados

~~

stillborn moments

wonder of caught breath
in pregnant throes
whither or wither!

Enslaved Tercet

Mesmerized captive, tightrope walked

On own palm’s lifted line of heart

Reeled in by thieving eyes’ art

 

 

 

Pure Fun Tercets

Key fumbled in lock

Heart crept to mouth

In nocturnal shock

 

Slo-mo dreamy moves

Became furious salsa blurs

To keep up with racing pulse

 

Saucer eyed- cracked open door

Saw neighbor’s tipsy guest on tiptoe

Weaving now towards proper floor

 

Got back under warm coverlets

Conjured McDreamy for another visit

Alas, love’s hostage had already fled…

Collector

Herded fleeing ideas

to tingling finger tips

Captive thoughts penned

Labored on keys to mind’s prods

Dressed in words-  immaculate docs.

Pièce de résistance thus conceived

Rosaries of thoughts

Ephemeral, startling

Transformed into poem leis

Word Pyramids
