Keith Parsons Poems

Long shadowy figures glide slowly over ground
The place called L'mour de mort
Welcomes all around
...

I lie surpassed by shining endless ocean
Whose fickle emotion unfetters at the shore.
I lie in lull, imperiled by the beauty,
Ravaged by the silence- and yearning essence more.
...

Earth gets smaller when we leave her
And soon we need to leave her to find another home
We have outgrown this lovely planet
A place where we were tempted, a temporary home
...

Gray haired man, have you learned your lesson yet?
Your 20/20 vision only works in the past.
So, can you see how the world has changed?
You are bent and stooped and shuffling,
...

Press firmly on the lever to fill her full of air
My giant, grand cabana is lying everywhere
The yarn is tethered tightly to loops of metal rings
The rings are interwoven with twisted fabric strings
...

The frolicking of breezy-boy goes dancing by the tulips
He whirls around a girl-go-by and smells of her real essence
He’s freshly from the fields o’ flora, dusted by their parlance
With his hands he spreads their seeds dispersed by clouds of silence
...

If I could leap one thousand miles,
I’d hold a breath till space came near
Then I would splash and swim to light,
In sparkled night and moonlit glare
...

Rock solid but only of wood
Firm legs firm, as firm legs should
Burden a beam above the ground
To push and hold the pushing down
...

I have heard four simple words
'Patience is a virtue'
The wait for you is nothing new
It took so long to find you
...

I do go about at night
Walking on the wind
Gliding past the earthly rest
Chained to rock and limb
...
