Poetic Baptisms

Baptized in sentiments foreign to my heart

I part stagnant waters with streaming soliloquies

Rows of flows ripple like flat pebbles skipping beats

Dancing across glassy waters with random rhythms … reminiscing

 

I remember …

How your words pierced parchment paper – dripping

Thoughts, conceptions, philosophies, reflections – dipping

In and out of consciousness

Spilling over into poetic pools of perception

 

Genuine jewels adorn torn fabrics weaved with windswept wisdom

Blowing through time & space – brushing against my face

Sometimes it hurts that circumstances get in the way of living life to the fullest

Plans --- fall apart -- dissolving

Lack of plans --- results in inactivity – never solving

People --- change / grow / constantly evolving

 

Alas … I failed to check on you … to see how you were doing

Picking up pieces of dreams … steadily patching & glue~ing

Fragments & destiny chips

Walking tightrope tachometers -- speeding thru life doing flips

 

I feel you though …

Reaching out thru proverbial portals .. Touching tender thought tendrils

Brushing softly across my cheeks – making me *smile*

Subliminal criminal in the skin of a cynical child

 

Words tickle brain stems sending electric shocks through windows to the soul

Warm to the touch … but ultimately cold

(((Chilled))) – (((Bold)))

Righteously Gold

 

Shared mutuality is a reciprocal reality

As the world keeps turning

Paris is burning

Butter flows simulate spilled buttermilk churning

And I’m still learning about KARMA and kismet

 

So tell me dear – how’ve you been?

Is life treating you fair? … You staying outta debt?

What say you?
