translucent thought patterns

not sure where this one goes

my thoughts are translucent --
transcendent state
from the opacity of you.

trying to decipher
the messages
that are trapped
inside the new.

am I seeing something
that isn't there?
or supplanting today
with past mistakes?

maybe I need
those x ray glasses
from the back of a magazine.

Life teaches us. Enjoy the good days and release the bad ones. Good poetry and outstanding poetry my dear Poet friend.

Yes, my hindsight is annoying sometimes.

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes it is my friend.

Finding our way through relationships is fraught with obstacles. We are often so careful...waiting...anticipating a sign that will let us know that what we believe is true. The waiting is so hard.

[Lyn Anderson]

There is a lens of pain that clouds vision and makes it hard to see what is from today and what is from yesterday. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

those mixed signals are hard to read...careful we don't repeat the same mistakes...some introspection and good advice could come in handy...thank you for sharing :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, yes, hind sight is not always necessarily 20-20.

Them damned mixed signals, never know where to go with them, never figured them out, don't really think I will either, haha!! Pfft, men! :P I loved this one, it is deep and thought provoking.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much for popping in again.

[NoelHC]

Ah, yes. Those messages, those mixed signals. The deep pondering and dissection of every phrase, digging through the entrails, searching for portents.
Know it well, and really like how you have described it here KL.
Another, as usual, excellent write.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, people say hind sight is 20-20, not necessarily.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i guess we like to make those past mistakes just obscure memories...

and we often write them into our poems so obtusely, they cannot be recognized....

seeing life from the back of the magazine...retrospect rather than from the front, looking directly at them ...poets imagine so much, we sometimes wonder if we just imagine life and don't really live it.

[Lyn Anderson]

From back to front, generally not a good idea, in many circumstances.:) Thank you.

I like this one, are things as they appear or are you seeing something that isn't there?
My glasses have got foggy lenses I think, I never see clearly.

[Lyn Anderson]

Sometimes, we work with damaged lenses. Tough to know what we are really seeing.

[Matching Socks]

It's ok, at least I can still sniff out the rats...

[Rene Salinas]

Yep, I se stuff all the time at risk of hallucinations in fact is it there? WHo gives a .... It's there for me that's what matters. That whole reality question is so intricate. Past present or future. Every day is a winding road, Live it a new.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I have some reading to catch up on.:)

So it is … glasses that see into the past … are horrible for going forward:) Great write, KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, this is true. Thank you .
