"Bits Of My Today…"

 

There is a truism of life - 

all about becoming who we are to be 

…and what it takes.  

 

…and if we are willing…

…and if we aren't…

and all the dealing -

decisions by the hour, day, week, month, breath -

the breathing when you can't draw a breath,

the waiting and waiting in between -

knowing just how quick eternities happen,

and how long moments really are…

reaching - and it's just beyond grasp,

always and always beyond

and yet this once - THIS ONCE,

the touch - oh the touch of starlight!

and the FALL - thefallthefallthefalling awayawayaway

…dreams…remember the dreams…remember

having dreams

 

*****************************************

 

Life has such an intensity

and the edges - Gawd,

the edges are just so SHARP

and real.

Focused …focused…

And to stand and gaze out

çross the end of the world

the end of time

the end of being…

just nails me to the clouds

and draws me along for the

…ride.

 

********************************************

 

Magyk is such a feisty, tasty, and self-less dream…

to weave heart and soul into tone and shades of light - 

sighs and wishes

soft tears

echoes…

 

Some words define

others delight…

and my mind DOES apostrophe after others - go figure the levels of meanings.

 

**********************************************

 

yes, there YOU are - 

and she KNOWS your buttons

after all they are likely her own as well

and she knows …knows…

perceived slights and choices made

and missing and wishing

and so much more

always so much …more.

 

Moms do that…

and sometimes dads as well -

think Hungarian Princess

and you touch the fires of hell.

 

 

**********************************************

 

This one made me think

of the deliberate means

meanings seldom have…

 

***********************************************

 

I've a small, framed print

just a left-view from the keyboard

a mind-view from the screen

a world-view of existence

and a life's view dreamed.

 

I met the artist,

acquired it from her - literally

couldn't afford the full-sized reality

but she had a light-about her

and was hiding the original from sight-and-sale.

 

I came back and back again

and spoke of "moments" and meanings

and thoughts and wanderings

places and times and yes - of visions too.

 

I see her eyes reflecting back into mine

with every view.

 

 

Good morning.

Chris

And on lingering again - these thoughts just nail me to the clouds
and draw me along...

And to stand and gaze out - çross the end of the world - the end of time - the end of being…- just nails me to the clouds - and draws me along for the - …ride. '

Time happens, no stopping it.. tis a tide that rumbles life.. hints ticking away, poems writ and understood. Or felt.

Maybe there's a queue of us in the shadows doing the same - or similar -, feeling own thoughts, thinking own emotions; borrowing colours, buying miniatures because.. that's what love does.

Such beautiful words, yours.

... the breathing when you can't draw a breath,

These are beautiful bits. Such a great description of words: "Some words define
others delight…and my mind DOES apostrophe after others - go figure the levels of meanings..."

The final description of the print excellent. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Chris, I really enjoyed reading these bits. Thank you.

[Kenneth The Poet]

It's an interesting tapestry for sure. I like each thought and how disparate they are, but I feel they are connected in some way. Disparate indeed, but each beautiful in their own right. My favorite bit, The Hungarian Princess.

It's been awhile, Hi Ken...

[Kenneth The Poet]

Agreed. Hello to you too.

[Einstein Noodle]

how the mind unfettered can wander :) i agree with J. Hampton on that wonderful line ... all the many musings of life ...so much of it born of pain of one kind or another ...and how lovely that ""Bits Of My Today' come back to love and a lady ;))) a gentle landing from which i choose to launch my own day Chris ..thanks for sharing this!

Good morning...thank you for sharing a curve to the sharpness and allowing the day to gently seep through and bleed out...

This is half the poem... I read both parts using two segments on World Poetry Open Mic.
