selective listening

sweet smelling poise enters the room
standing in the middle of dried shoes
and buttery snippets of eleuthera

is it the moment alone?
or the way it belongs to me?
the physical beauty of a violinist
i pretend i’m watching it on tv
azure colored dimensions
make heated seats a great diversion
until another lifetime starts break dancing

hmmmm, how sizzling
the untrodden beaches
slaughter the living
into some kind of resolve
like the magic of summer
all dressed up with the fullness of time
hard to pronounce but
well worth the struggle

a fusion of biography and mind
tender things about loving life
updating frequently
is it the ach of being or near death
experience, dealing all things romantic
i’m a junkie addicted to life
living in my own photo gallery
a city that is contrary
made up of music
striping an item of clothing
each time the composition starts

inspiration is short lived
when it comes to god’s ups and downs
is the fiction really reality
or the other way around?
hoping you’ll drop in for a visit
but not bleed on my domain
a one act play paying homage
whatever sustains work boots
in the stream of melody
and law of life

You must teach me this art of selective listening.

(My head gets so noisy at times.)

I like the way each stanza can stand alone, and all together, it is just like my head when it's bombarded with torrent rains of thought.

Much enjoyed Miz Lee.
