The Fourth Pixel

Images may want a brighter edge to see
Blended harmony glints gold's fiery finery
Gliding over once thought was never to be
Now space sheers a true color of individuality

Refusal disconnects from long willing looks
As colors bled eons onto life's endless books
Fear felt its way along trembling edges
As diminished thought found only dark ledges

Judgement now anew hums opportunity's tune
As endless masquerades parade a color balloon
Issues combine in terms of mindless wrong turns
Trying to awaken amid mists as blindness spurns

Appropriate gamuts kept color space on hold
As safaris started out from dark blinds of cold
Partial moods trekked barren across pseudo gold
Fulfillment rides suite into deeper hues of bold

The fourth pixel invites clear bright views
Traversing bands of pattern to fear no hues
Embarking across tones of greens reds and blue
Nature's fourth pixel now yellow finds you

New Dispositions in Flower

In wonders of having a more satisfying life
One summarized now as bored with strife
Having given so freely jumping shelf to shelf
When keeping the peace keep a little for yourself

Fun is the trip where on arrival you rock
Go out on a cruise pull away from the dock
Paint yourself up to be somebody new
Alive on arrival as your own select crew

Volatility strikes with its ever enduring ring
Asking for help at the end of a durable string
Pop forward with passion of unending heart
Unhappy life is always a good place to start

Attend a bookstore go get some momentum
Read up on how others are locked in detention
Look around at first just skim and peruse
Finding a journey leaves you no time to lose

Fantasy of self image is one tricky customer
Take another look be fussy to pass muster
A few misjudgments tilted the wrong way
All somehow add up as donkey bray

Face yourself now then add a little cheer
Rocky roads of life are what offers fear
Arrival one day then come into full view
Patterns of activity once defined as you

Those things nearby act a personal force
With own directions and no roadmap of course
That flicker from inside lights your heart alone
To hear voices of truth outside in dark drone

All in the asking stands more at the ready
Hearing new bells now reel more steady
So satisfied a life waits to sail above and soar
Only after you answer the sound at the door

Can beliefs held sacred stay solidified as friend?
When happiness feels like it's only on lend?
New doors open if you act just a bit
Its only need is for you to just answer it

How much do you want, how deep is the pride?
Step into the action just let yourself ride
Old habits have a way of making you think
Things can gets accomplished on a flash and a blink

That same old self stays there in the mirror
If no trip was taken because of the furor
Not seeing yourself there the way others may see
Falls onto your shoulders as responsibility

When the bell rings or if you hear a knock
Will you answer it now or just watch a clock
As you feel time pass that's life flying by
Just outside your door doesn't care why

What you believe and who you are
Holds you in place as if an old czar
Systems of influence have their say
You alone decide to have it your way

Still the door waits through thickness or thin
For you to go out and not for it to come in
You hold it there with the force of a push
While massive thoughts make a bum rush

Who you are now crosses great divide
Who to become to be that person inside
Action is a volunteer who holds the key
It's your turn now to decide your legacy

Somewhere to go to get really able
To sit in conversation at confidence's table
Come home possessed with needed willpower
Safe on arrival as new dispositions flower

Bringing Birthday Tones

To breathe a little of each other's open hearth fire
Tasting summer air with sweet feathers of desire
Brazen for this moment fetching just one more clue
Shadow stands to reason where once inner journeys flew

Crystal flaws take up aprons to take upon faith so dear
Events shake out far below where final drop would appear
Triggering dances to push and pull amidst gravel's gravity
Love wanders in snowy glances to let maven's savvy be

Surface dementia spheres into a surface tension ball
Whether or not we weather this holds us closer to the fall
Feel free to jump right in or are they much to lost at sea
Journeys conjure up to answer where they are to be

Quick access arcs in blowtorches of conventionality
Those pipelines we built cured for want of reality
Long drawn horses carry north in decapitated deception
Long lines behind hear the broken bells of convention

A short walk in seconds score to substantiate endeavor
Built from afar love takes hold too soon to be called never
The air of our ways sings in tones of suspense so clever
Bringing birthday tones promises a joyful life forever

Needy suspense speeds to flair its own shadow world
Hints of motif repeat in momentary delightful twirl
Suspended fulness remains a much more attractive girl
Wandering aimless to point an arrow to hit her pearl

Left without a party gift she wanders about the gate
Yet Babylon battles on to drool for only garden's sake
What is coming hides from view any visible signs of bold
Watchful outposts crisscross as median markers grown cold

Weaving looms in a shadow flair creeping as if not to care
Only hoping to to claim a heart and don whatever wolves wear
From big handed clocks we watch the magic spill in anticipation
Tombstone towns falsify fires yet again our love still moves all in

Shady Comes the Albatross

Just a basic question as the fashion world meets
Individual in crosshairs crosses fleet streets
A mature summary calls the captain of use
Taking shape in paces amidst folly's excuse

Encountered emotions make the scene seem pale
Beginnings catch on by chasing a pristine tale
Super dreams dodge and resume at a snail's pace
Space-station slow pushes to the end of runway's race

Abrupt starts clear as the outset competes for home
Purpose emerges to become the albatross to roam
Tech is the enabler and more than one time relates
Expect the info to land on a sunny plate

Purpose receives its sentence to time already served
Perception takes the status of fact slightly swerved
Illuminated specs where bold beauty cascades
Watches the albatross who once had it in spades

Time waits not at all for squirrelly conditions
Openly coddled war machines curry renditions
Cruelest of ironies quelled by unequivocal equinox
The vocal inside beauty's head desire shivers and rocks

Still coming up empty gets jotted down strange
Response pinnacles in measures of found textile change
Does it really matter this series of bizarre
Heady lies ahead in heavy heaves of spar

Warm stormy conditions openly contribute
The want of dictation finds a photo shoot
Who is it that wants for desire's latest response
Eventually feeling active all sure fire at once

Strength lies dormant under a doormat's key
Political bias rears beauty's head so defiantly
Dramatic intention beckons with only one flaw
Goes where it can to sooth tooth and claw

One onion's opinion expressions have since grown
What-ifs of yesterday makes its presence known
Ifs and butts are these realms of candy and nuts
Climate science senses and charms offensive ruts

Redact the act of actions abrasively hold
Fuels the fire to clear its virtual presence bold
Obvious concerns in growth spurt mode
Fixing stuff sends a sputter to square one abode

Subtlety publicity is no shiny city by the sea
Gull beguiled by ocean arrival fashion soon to be
Overly writes via overland cage amid double takes
Cupcakes undertaken to rage worn by bakery flakes

Differences float across a violent notion
Volatile mobilizes to slow more emotion
Environment shows an infectious walk act
Spirit of the age deflects just a fact

Intellectual property eventually props up
Monuments of emotion papers over a pop-up
Dizzy display plays it safe with an avid comply
A three bears approach drifts the mist to intensify

Meanings find their way in glass shops of candy
Crossing points to turn on flash pops so dandy
Build it from scraps a path pulsed and tuned
Conviction of conflict in catch-up games buffooned

Amateur anteaters and freaks prance for show
Enter the fray a shear moment as in a meadow
What it all means for those folks who's got story
Undermining ways to add up to hunky dory

Hearts and Minds

The language of luggage is a cautionary tale
In waiting and wishing the world's weight to pale
The importance of potions and the silence it carries
Needed to realize the tender balance life marries

Static water runs rampant beneath willow trees
Presenting a way to hear owls on hooting sprees
Energy reserves other races for utter aces
Point blank range teaches to taunt unfamiliar faces

Deeper engagements ringing from the voice of schism
Tacking to the center in a sort of default mechanism
Located somewhere to join fate's finesse veracity
Confirming the fatality of blindness' tenacity

Eye witness to the early days of hearts and minds
Archaeology digs to blow its own dusty chimes
Only makes martyrs worse in its own time
As neuro-marketers try to make it all rhyme

Dressed up in tension attends anybody's guess
The life of the lucky only loses its last quest
Incidental action moves in familiar old ways
Defining moments are how surroundings to behave

Intervening years respond in personal ways
As the world begins to remember signs from olden days
All that drama poises to move to a knockout round
Tensions run hot to show external blackout sounds

Fancy goes to its own place and rocks you
With the emotion they thought they already brought you
Adulthood owns its own civilizing force
Something more symbolic signals for a horse

Interaction so keen with a discerning smile
Near instant to the scene in a world of style
The unspoken tightness would be faulty folly
Deep intervention captures a guy and a dolly

Rest your heart to show your best chops
Activities dispel myth in snaps and pops
Works imaginative alive and just let live
Every new day will have a valentine to give

Emphasized mundane walks among mistakes
Swerves into the final turn slams on the brakes
Lost threads seek out their own loose ends
Aura of pain seeks out more new friends

No heart throb to this heartache of nerves
Returnees referee the curve of serves
Action elements a party in the making
Insiders enhance and intensify the breaking

Straight up nothings noting for awhile
Coupled with style and a face plant smile
Action out front and out of trouble
Shines in reflection of undaunted bubble

Past events could have been the real damage
Presently presenting a mixed-up bandage
Come the spicy vow amidst inner feeling
Summons courage to act on it's own reeling

Initiate an action ask again anew
What is rightfully blind basks in its own glue
Stake a stalker in stipulations of feast
Played hearts and minds then slay the beast

Shadow Culture

Aloha Poets,
Shadow culture inspires today's poem. Enjoy!


Shadow Culture

Bobble a corner with no joke of fear
Cyclists ogle in psychological cheer
Tension mounts a ride into the sunset
As doable deficits sit on the fence of it

Uneasy accord allows couples to be twos
Movement hails from unknown deep blues
Dreamy-like they approach in a positive sway
Lock sharp and loud holds pettiness at bay

Taking dead aim at personal debts
Gathering to pay their first respects
Step back to defer in shaky fashion
Suddenly small town support is in passion

Take a sip to dissipate the heat of the day
Raw history gets her grip and had her say
Events unfold to let tensions stop and play
Shadow culture games it their own way

Valentines Day #2

Aloha Poets,
Heart-shaped flower heart inspires today's poem. Enjoy!

Days of Love

Those days of love struck with uncommon surge
Indulgence's fun ran rampant hefty with urge
Love is the usual suspect who bounds beyond then away
Making good to encourage a new entourage sway

Place of convergence only two hearts could guess
Defining moments sent even dictionaries on a quest
Attempts to express flattens candy boxes and flowers
Where runaway winners sometimes wait for hours

Sitting in dark corners on haunches to launch it
Lunch dates lose out to courtship's haunting gauntlet
Expectations pulse then fooled away by enticement
Sentimentality rears its head ahead at what rolled dice meant

The escape to love invites a runway winner
With love-filled baskets showing up for dinner
Setting the mood on a setting moon over snow
Forever to be within an early evening glow

Delicacies enhance the intensity of desire
Trails of destruction follow an equation of fire
Letting a guard down springs into natures crumbly mess
New scenery is back road beginner's scrumptiousness

With pleasure and effect love lights the way
Those days of wonder seems just like yesterday
Foggy actions now pulse and come into view
In memory and stillness they still stand dear to you

Happy Valentines Day

Aloha Poets,
Happy Valentines Day! Enjoy!

5th Day of Valentine

On Slippery Waves

Dream addendum sparks the zen of yum-yums
In seamless extensions past a den of dum-dums
A little fog creeps along its way to hurt next to no one
As if to be a wispy lover swishing on a soggy solo run

Grounded reality is woven upon slippery waves
In visual presence aligns then withdraws and waves
Around your graceful presence grows a glow at long last
Full swing of your beauty chats up a sing-song sassy past

Make a splash, join the action, join in the blue, go green
Or reminisce to coalesce an opposition to making the scene
Destiny's density has a duty to clue you in
Seek ideas of your own to lose that glue you're in

Capture a flag and then a heart in high definition
Mexican cinnamon on alpine chicken gets you in
Just remember it's never clever to reach over
Table manners can get you far out into the clover

Change something just a little different from the past
Run it up to a situational ice cream color splash
Jump right in the water's warm forget about that cash
Stories from the pier appear at the ready to hash

Get inside the loop let them know be inclusive then go
Reign in an outlay of outlying truths not just for show
Snip a little piece of love's hovering ghost
Taste the something you will some day love the most

Oriental lines drawn as ornaments in the sand
No sterile game this idea of holding court on the bland
Plain spoken has yet to rise and raise its right hand
Begin with a simple statement or a full fledged band

Identify that thing that appears to float in the fresh
Flesh out punchy bag punch lines behind the wire mesh
The Northwest passage was never narrative ilk
A grounding reality is an object, so feed it its milk

To whimper and whisper is only a tent family
Write it down to come up with your own calamity
Sell it as hip floating on a ship of us versus them
Pulse it out, bring life, witness "ahem" never again

Valentine Story

Step Up or Not

Illusions of romance intertwine the heavens
Traditions appear as ancient tribes interwoven
Rising tensions quelled by valentine's saintly quiver
Spells of mentions in my heart by quaintly sliver

Has my story to tell whether silent or by a yell
Soon or badly, doomed or gladly, it just rings a bell
Hope and change rings in pulsed distant chime
As little pens rise up to conquer the slow grind

Romance once could become just a screen with a blip
That's the thing that makes those lovers sound so flip
So casual to percolate and simmer from far above
Resonating glimmers of hope for a new summer love

Natural urges stir to blur a dark distant line
Ongoing to assume going inane is rampantly fine
Noting nothing has to be true to make things work
Record of note in a musical diary works with its quirk

Conflict occurs and crisis may or may not follow
Humility's rocket soars beyond for stars to swallow
Futility's pocket fills with scars that drone
No cagier thought ever found its way that way back home

Order of events lay bound out beyond control
Spatter to converge with a story of old to extoll
A piece of the pie you can eat but never the whole
Write it that way as if to save yourself as a caring soul

Go fishing with your little oafish backwoods plan
Patch it together to make yourself a little stick man
Seems like stars burn with their own little wick
Cohesion rules whereas on no rules do quivers stick
