it's time to dance naked in round doorways
as music made from household pots and pans
carries the romance of a summers eve
to the depths of youth and innocense
so long forgotten and thrown away
speak the distance and candy the fruit
that your surroundings leave behind

broken dreams and moldy potatoes abound
in this world of dual multiplicity
and shadow recognition in a world of 3D glasses
as you return to the world of kindergarten
for recess and naptime, stories and free time
things you never have as an adult
just a few more things to add to the list
of things that you wish you could have

and you'll never understand the things you desire
the wants and needs placed on you by childhood
phantoms of your mind to create an illusion
in the world you never knew as a kid
because it was always beyond your reality
where ignorance was blissful and sureal

People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. --Soren Kierkegaard

the thing is the dancing
past and beyond the dorway,
chalk illustrating the cartooned trip
on sidewalks marked on both sides
of a whip around the moon, satellites
coming too soon, perhaps, though
it all might seem elementary
in the glow
of kindergarten
grafitti!

but i am so completely sure
that the allure of the TeachHer
will endure the lesson
that floating phantoms guessin'
their futures might just suit her
with a smile.

and if you've never understood
the things that you desire,
understand the fan's command
of remedy in fire!
and if your wants have taunted
jaunts of running to a dream,
remember, friend, that life
begins and ends
at two extremes!

One! the first, the burst of YES!
Two! the second, second guessed!

Three, the Free
in search of Love
to hold the glove
which paints for the
soft colored schemes
of sidewalk dreams,
two childhoods marked
by true extremes
of separated joined
complete in tiles of street
to meet the walk.

Please come here
and we will talk of all this mess.
The best that i can guess is that the
little girl is growing and the new one
in a belly cannot wait to see your face.

one day soon
she'll spy the moon
and show the grace
of crystal.
mystified, embraced,
her eyes will know
her dad's
a PISTOL!!

I would love to find one of the circular doorways, and the dancing would commence!!!! This brings out the child that we all learn to hide away...a great read!!!

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

Desperado,
My friend, it has been far too long, since I have seen the eloquent dance you weave around meanings. It is a pleasure to see you are still as nimble as I remembered.

This sounds like lots of fun, Desperado...
except for the moldy potatoe part...
Now I must go find a circular doorway and show it to my husband....
preferably a private circular doorway...

Nice sense of imagery, but there are some parts that need a bit revising. All in all you have a very nice idea and you seem to illustrate it so skillfully through your lines poetry.
