Five Poems --- E.F. Elixir

Belly of The Beast


          An odd situation we find ourselves in

          Being in the belly of the beast

          When once we were beckoned to force change,

          We found some forms are just as they’ve always been…

          Perceived.

          So in all of what’s become

          We trust to start anew

          Clean our slates state to state

          With values wise-ridden

          And impermanent

          Becoming what would have been

          If the beast had just been left to rest

          As all else is while in the wild

Whimsical Again

I overheard them speak: "We bring gadgets,
For the days are rough, and unknown are the
Circumstances which would have us fix
Whimsical legacies as we break from
Shackles left here just to bind us,"
I knew not to interrupt. Good ol' jokes
With drinks, yet it's serious, for the drums
Are now crashing down, and there can be no
Time to meddle in constant grief, without
A movement which moves past repaired cuffs…
After us in the future sense. Most drown
Trying to move others to see just once
            How this could very well end in the blinks
            Of all eyes finding out that we were fiends.

         

Awe Phenomenon

I begin to breathe

An enigma at the wash

I blink as it washes over me

Beginning to think there’s nothing to wish

For

For if there were

I’d yet to have seen…                                                 

My dreams are a part of reality

And my reality’s made up of dreams

Forever and ever, and on, on-awe

And an “end” is not a word

Surreal Semantic

Heartthrob Galactic

Whatever is mindful

I’m sure

Would love to be

In between the skies

And deep beneath the trees

Returning with a

Message from the breach

Of “Who am I?”

With a reach of outer mind

And keen inner surprise

When then it’s learned that

Words have erred

And so feelings so adorned

Bring on yields of fields of gold            

And there we were

So here we are

Spaceship Scar

Earthy Purse

Breathe and breathe and breathe and breathe

I blink as it washes over me

Primordial Touch

Like Ancients

Come hide with me

In valleys unseen

In valleys where

Our slow caress of hands

Set flight

To growth of forests

Where our eyes meet

At once

In light of

All at once unfolding

Into an annexed-heart

Only glimpsed

In fantasies

Honed by ancients…

In fantasies

I awaken from

On nights

Your touch

Must elude me

Wellspring

Breathe lightly

And in doing so

Be at once with

All around you

Be the trance

That sits and

Soothes through

The ailments

You have gathered

Let them go

These are not yours to keep

You are not well

With them abound
