Funny Ha Ha?

 

 

Funny Ha Ha?

 

 

 

in a funny strange way

I like to move in quickly

strangely not to get close

nor to feel near

nor needed dearly

 

clearly I will desire

calmness, clarity, insight

my common plight

self sustaining

evolving expression

of broad perception

and essentially boundless

reception no boundaries

 

I gotta make’em

so on I go

make fence post holes

for poles and fencing

while my in-n-out

terrain shifts tunes

as a choir of colors

in clouds of a torrential rain

 

the brush strokes

haven’t changed

the painter’s way

the ever shifting

canvas seabed

makes fertile

cultivation

of nuance and style

as though the background

portrayed the foreground

not glibly but flippant

nonetheless ripping

 

brushes and paints

don’t limit the moves

the colors give

my voice their

approval and

mess my best duds

and my digs

the artist’s crib

catches the babes

of imagination’s gleaning

and leaves them

all over the place

as thought the friend

who wouldn’t leave

brought a black hole

 

I want to bridge gaps

and mend fences

not sit in the middle

but visit a little

 

with all my resources

and I have none scarcely

rather am I overflown

I just want to throw bones

and have some returns friendly,

cozy would be nicing on the cake

 

In spite of my finest proclivities,

my depth perception is off

so if our dance suddenly gets too

close, near, dear, dear

I’m not up to anything

I just don’t have a clue

how to get close to you

without pressing up to you

with great hopes and fears

an ever changing canvas

and a  litany that grasps

under it's own self-perpetuating

steam at God and Forever

Lost in a world of words,
Penning my desires, my love
for mankind, for you, for her..
and him and them..
I'll paint you my soul,
and we can be universal lovers,
But please don't attach yourself to me,
For my lines have been drawn clearly...

"I want to bridge gaps
and mend fences
not sit in the middle
but visit a little.."

Ya dig?


Beautiful Robin. :)

as though the background portrayed the foreground - Loved this line!

I just don't have a clue how to get close to you without pressing up to you - Beautiful!

Hey, I like this! Flows, making me sway as I read it...got a rhythm all its own!
Oh man! Dig that crazy beat!

This was again fastpaced, filled even wtih enough humor, clever suprises, unexpected twists, kept me reading and reading,
I just don't have a clue

how to get close to you

without pressing up to you

with great hopes and fears

an ever changing canvas

and a litany that grasps ---------this was my favorite part, strongest

and the last 2 lines were brilliant like yes or yes ? god or forever ( instead yes or no? ) ha ahah I that was good time with you........

"the brush strokes haven't changed the painter's way" Love this line! This was a little hard for me to grasp but I reread it...and I think I have my own interpretation...:)...okay so here it goes...feel free to correct me doll...it is like you are trying to be close to someone without ever being "close" like a painter painting that beautiful person that he can never true capture the beauty but the closer he comes to his subject the harder it is for him to focus and be...

Well at least that is what I got out of it Robin! I loved it! As always!
