A Fleeting Thought { say nothing at all }

A Fleeting Thought { say nothing at all }

There are a number of intricate possibilities invading my cranium
A moving vision of volatile, destructive, perceptions, like decaying geraniums
Like a temple garden of elusive, blooming, ideas and absurdities
Creating fluidity inside of me, like a thesaurus herding each word in me
Explosions of images and graphic new languages speaking nonsensically
But making perfection of each reflection in memories and destinies
Coming to conclusive opinions concerning atrocious abnormalities
And irreverent sermons from preachers and priests and saints
Who pray on the front steps of government holdings and restraints
Tackling the issues of future events and possible predictions
Itching to take their time losing, and scratching their convictions
On the parchment ~ of the walls,
That make quixotic
My mind,
And really,
Say Nothing At All....

Hello Tony...

It's beyond sad that people are treated this way...

Mental illness and addiction...

Always the fault of the patient?

I don't believe that...

Great write on a very real subject...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Love and Rockets!

"The poet does not wait for the hero or the sage, but, as they act and think primarily, so he writes primarily what will and must be spoken..." I'll leave you to guess who wrote that. A poet who does not feel writes souless. The things that keep you awake turns to ink. Brilliantly written

Hello Tony...

No I don't find it interesting...

Twisted is more of the word I would use...

I think they're the ones who shouldn't be judge and jury...

They create the mess and we expect them to fix it?

That doesn't say much about or intelligence I have to say...

It's all about riches not the well being of the people...

I do believe we are smart enough to believe that...

We are just suckers to fall for it, and...

They know it..

If I show I don't respect the system...

Then I have made myself very clear...

:)

I can only respect that which works, not what doesn't...

Hugs...

Love and Rockets!

It is like the wheels turning in my mind as I ponder life and begin my questioning words upon a page. Man T.........really wish one day we will sit down and pick each other's brains on what we choose to call real or artificial. An incredible write from an inspiring poet. Much live and peace brother.

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

.

The thoughts I had, no longer be

For this world is engulfed in insanity

That which was has disappeared

And the Apocalypse, so close has neared

.

Apostates claim they know the way

Yet Armageddon threatens us each day

So my thoughts are now so quickly passed

For I fear each one could be my last

.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

Where is reality Tony; 

it is buried deep; 

where is honesty; 

this is why we are seeking the parallel universe.

i am reading your writing like I am looking into 

the river; with all its mud and water. 

Thoughtful poet in Cosmo helps clear muddy waters. That is your great contribution. 

Love from Jai:)

Simply a powerful reflective write not holding back in any way.

Your mind is so considered and analytical that your poetry with a message or philosophy carries more weight due to its coherent structure and approach !

Take care my friend.

Hi Tony, 

I really enjoyed this, It resided with me...so many just moving through life without anything to say but the same old general niceties...often people tend to revert to cliché rather that saying anything of depth for themselves...this is really thought provoking...lots to think about

Brilliant piece

Lorna
