A Reaction To Traction

Ploughing The Road

A Reaction To Traction

In frailty comes the moments of question,
When, love takes a back-seat to a lesson.
Within, the mind is born all will to journey,
For, out of the dark comes related inquiry.

From abject decline stems opportunities,
To progress outside any reject to please.
Desperate measure leads to fresh pride,
As, on a route to more is a hopeful slide.

Inside those feelings is a manifest bleed,
So, beyond doubt, appears fertile creed.
Wish to make better of the bad situation,
Leads all to wonder at great expectation.

Longing derives a search for the surplus,
As, in the different pose lingers fortuitous.
Silver linings produce a pure imagination,
Which covets promise to claim an action.

The mind is a mysterious object.
Sometimes i see red elephants fly by.
Othertimes i see nothing only darkness.
But there is times i see the lord and the devil.
The mind is a mysterious object.
Good write my amigo.
Keep letting your mind be open like a twenty four seven shop.

" JAZZ " IT " UP " with the " RHYTHM AND BLUES " when, the light is right and romance governs " THE DANCE " and the chance. " Hollywood " iconic liberation leading to " THE MUSIC " and loosening tunic. Speculation affording a METHOD to assist application, of love to the " make up " and SHAKE UP.
Where, " ACTION " rules the " Day And Knight " with perverse psychological conditioning, taking to a " STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN " location shoot ! Going, straight to " the top ".... via the bottom ( of the barrel ? ).
Who, says other-wise in the TINSEL TOWN PARADE.....AND CHARADE ? Facade of decadence " lauding " the " BIG FISH " !!!

I took this to mean a triumph of mind over dire situation though I'm probably wrong. Life is a journey, when one door slams another opens etc. Nice write Richard ?

YOU, MUST UNDERSTAND " HOLLYWOOD " ICONS AND ICONIC. Throughout cinematic " history " where relationships are part of " market-forces philosophy " ! See, above for details. :) :)  X

Excellent poetry Richard, a complex expression born from the complex poet.

:) " Complexity " comes from the educational grading of derivative analysis beyond question and answer. But, also, through the reasoning of an individual, and their ability to grasp a concept, based on experience, as well as academic achievement.
Glad, you enjoyed this one. Relevant, I feel, to " modern " culture. Of media coverage in " entertaining " partnerships, away from public conformist notions. In " The Industry " !!  " Variety......is the spice, of " LIFE " " ...... or some " THING " like " IT. "  Right ?  :) :)

While reading this I was thinking 'every cloud!' and then you mentioned silver linings ?. And this is exactly what I get from this... That every cloud has a silver lining. And indeed they do x

Every cloud has a silver lining ? What about a cloud base, of a storm front, which produces a bolt of lightning, which fries you ? That, does not seem to have anything going for it at all. Anyway, if it did, you would not see it. Now, would you ? Understand, cloud, and the looming " shroud " !!!
Be serious. Look to the " cirrus " and " alto-cumulus " rather than the " strato-cumulus " which can develop into trouble. Prefer, " fluffy white ones " rather than SHADES OF GREY. These can cause repercussions, beyond any expectations, really. Can they not ?
Know what you are looking at. Know what gives a decent shower, and no more. Do you want to be " drowned " ? I think not.
Take care, wherever you are. Mind out, for the " electric charge " which disturbs heartbeat, or feeling great !!! You, do not want to lose it. Do you, now ? Clouded judgement can cost you dear. :)
