If I could take the world
into my world;
If I could be God-like
what would I do
...
Dreamers dream
dreaming that
all their dreams are dreams;
and is reality then multiple-shaped
...
'I am the Winter Flower'
she said
'the opposite of the Summer Ones.'
...
Strewn on the ground
were the nouns;
the gerunds
and the active verbs,
...
I feel like a train sometimes
that can't get no locomotin.'
My wheels lumber
...
I have seen Passion Storm
and sweep away obstacles.
Did Romeo and Juliet's
...
My grandmother used to say
don't marry for money
but stay open-minded.
...
There is a single leaf flying
in this my autumn gloaming,
a leaf fluttering light
as if being orchestrated
...
If I can but see
those reaching arms before me,
feel flat against my chest
...
I am Violences' Victim
which scarred my soul
slammed it down
to earthly hell
...
The problem is metaphoric;
I live inside lines
which only approximate
but do not satisfy.
...
Oh, to be soul-kissed
the deep kiss;
mouth brushing past
parted lips.
...
I don't want to wait until I'm dead
to tell people I love them.
Don't want to be deceased

Two men in ragged clothing
sat beside the road
alert and on the hunt.
Each watched a different direction

All Power
If I could take the world
into my world;
If I could be God-like
what would I do
with my All-Power?
Would I make Peace
World-Wide?
What of Poverty?
I could gather all riches
to my self,
make my friends powerful or rich
or both;
help my parents?
Ask for more Power?
Use my Power to
make more Power?
What would I do with
All Power to do Anything?
Would I ask for Love?
Force someone to Love
me too?
I don't like All-Power
as I think about it.
What would I choose?
Could I have a few powers?
One or two?
All at the same time?
But even so
I would be
the only one.
and maybe lonely?
But if I could
and the price is lonely
why wouldn't I?
.
To have that power
would get me back
now
where I am now
lonely.
What good then
All-Power?
This will take
some thinking
out.
I really liked your poem, I pictured your conscious saying no or yes.I think also we have to think twice and be ourself no matter what.Good job
