tunnel vision's delusions

Essentially oblivious

 hiding in private vacuums

seeking to catch

 the next tripping bubble

bursting at the seams

  in austerity's realm

out of conjugated burbles 

   mind's sleight of hand

tangents in high def

 spider monkey web'd deception

blindfold'd in pink's pristine

 peaceful illusion'd crack clouds

pips on crackerjack'd

  overload's systems switch

spinning round inside

   tunnel vision's delusions

tied-dyed confusion midst

  magic garden's 

  upheaval of intrusions

coffee perking over 

  a dark horizon's bluff

semi-consciously bliss'd 

 in information's overdrive

rotations quietude

 flipping birds of paradise 

woke up on the wrong side 

  of inventory 

glow lights of night  

   dark umber'd news

 of half past 

    comfortably numb  

riding out the storm

   without oar's directives

satisfyingly unaware

   for all infinity & beyon

Well dayum, girl. There is so much in this poem that it practically jumps out at me, shouts boo, then runs away... if you think I am chasing it then you got another thing coming because one; I'm too slow and secondly, I am awe-struck. Ha. I loved this soooooooo much!!!!

[Frieda P]

It came out of a discussion with Benji, so yeah, you knew it'd be obtuse & abstruse, our conversations always are. haha Thanks for your input sweet pea! xo

sheeesh! it all takes me way back to a place in the 60's when hope reigned ... the drugs were complacent compared to today ... was 6 feet from the Zeppelin of those days ... (on one occasion) "tunnel vision's delusions" is heavy in those days vernacular ... have to come back to read again ..so very much in this ... an incredible read for me .. great stuff Frieda ... better and better

[Frieda P]

Come again anytime E....woo six feet eh, how exciting was that....love your story here. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Wow, Frieda, your writing just jumps out and smacks you in the face...I always need a good smack now and then, especially today! The ideas and word play you throw out in this piece is bubble bursting, and awe inspiring... you never fail to cause a deep emotional reaction with me as i read your work. I love it!

[Frieda P]

Wow what a sweet thing to say K...so glad it did :-) Thanks so much....!

This should be packed up and sent immediately to an anthology somewhere...you have truly outdone yourself here Mrs.R, and that's hard to do. What an amazing cacophony of images and emotional landscapes, and song references, which you know I'm a sucker for, but only when used right, and you sure know how to use them right ;) And hooray for a Zep clip! I just never envisioned seeing them with one of your poems. But the poem is what has truly gripped me and left me in awe...you're good at leaving me in awe with your words my dear, and this is a prime example. Add this one to an already mile-long list of personal favourites. Who's the Dali here anyway? This is more Dali-esque than anything I've ever written, I'm sure of it. An astounding slice of artistic genius Mrs.R...I am not worthy ;) xo

[Frieda P]

Gob-stopped by your review Steve...I'm taking a shot of this one and having it framed. Jazz'd you enjoyed the Zep...I actually was hearing Walking on the Moon in my head whilst writing this one, but I thought they better intimated where this one was going....Thanks doesn't seem enough. You have left me truly humbled Steve. xo

[kublakhan27]

I think the same about many of the reviews you offer me my friend...wait, I do keep a record of them ;) That song would have been a good choice as well, probably would have been a good choice for my last one too haha I'm so glad that my reviews mean so much to you, thank you Frieda :) xo

tunnel vision can either be good or bad...what we won't see won't hurt us or...what we won't see will bite us in the butt when we aren't looking.

[Frieda P]

Yes it can surely go both ways jacob...thanks for your thoughts.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Some great creative metaphors… love is blind when we look with our eyes instead of our hearts.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Dale, glad you enjoyed like where you took this one...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You mean where it took me… you are welcome

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Frieda, what isn't there to say about this... that pen of yours is made of magic. "Riding out the storm/without oar's directives"... I love those lines. A masterful display!

[Frieda P]

Wow Travis thanks so much, you blew me away with this one...!

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

I'm the one blown away! ;)

[Frieda P]

Awh, you're too sweet neighbor....I'm loving the new avatar by the way...woo ;-)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

Well, thank you lovely... I needed that smile. I'm glad you like it. ;)

[RichGee]

Love it...and the music is fitting...
I guess at times it is easier to choose not to see certain things...
Especially when the heart is involved.
Don't mind my gibberish....love all your art.

[Frieda P]

Not gibberish in the least, you knew exactly where I was going, thanks Rich.

[RichGee]

My pleasure always.

[A. Amos]

great work of art with touch of Led Zeppelin, girl you know how to create magic with words and music...pure brilliance

[Frieda P]

Well thank you very much dear A, I might just have to plant a sloppy kiss for that one. :-) x

[A. Amos]

Made my day:) You're most welcome
