Jumpstart

Forsaken roadside
Tears spilt by your undead car
Kindness sparks a start

Sometimes machine and man are inseperable...esp the first car!

Rollercoaster

When joy floods the chest
Feet answer before the mind
Music through the bones
But when the world grows too loud
Silent lake remembers me

In my case, no "flooding chest". More so my pants being being filled, but not with water!

Border Town

Caught between two worlds
Not knowing which one to choose.
The familiar,
Or the untried expanses
That keep life interesting.

Interesting take on "life"...in bit of a limbo on this one, Sir R.

Q

Just thinking about the decisions I made in the past moving around the countryside. Leaving what is familiar and going to a whole new environent

 

[Quadman2]

Eureka! A moment of truth.

Thank you for removing that..."vail".

NATURE'S EXTREMES

Delicate orchids
softely swaying in breeses
mood changing instantly
becoming wild and by
ripping tall trees from their roots!

The News

Reason can't be heard
When your ears are filled with dirt.
Flapping mouths are mute,
Screaming silently for truth,
Or their own version of it..

Two Ships in the Night

Stranger passes by,
Casually glances over,
Eyes uninterested.

C'est vrai, mon ami. So true!

What we got here, is...a "scene" from a movie, m'8!

HIDDEN TIGER

In shadows he waits
like a coiled spring now ready
to launch, sudden death!

Q

Freedom

The illness falters,
It's strength left as a shadow,
Licking it's own wounds,
Now too self-absorbed to strike.
A door opens to new life.

 

[Quadman2]

Perfect personifcation, all the way through!

Q

 

[Quadman2]

WAR

Man's excuse to kill
without ramification
or his looking back
to horrid carnage he's left
now facing future judgment.

Q

Pac-Man Fever

Video games suck
The life out of the children.
Minds desensitized,
Social skills left there to die,
Alone and unresponsive.

 

[Quadman2]

Agreed! And their social skills also suffer!

Q

 

[Quadman2]

FAME

Hollow people feign
false tribute, lurking, fawning
in your your present wave
of celebrity, fame and fortune
hoping you'll toss memento's.

33 1/3

Voices crying out,
Choking on pops and scratches.
Vocal chords warping,
Singing songs of hope and peace
hidden in a cardboard sleeve.
