Asher Proschansky Poems

My previously overgrown
belly
disappeared
Magically
...

truth is the pearl
with surface sometimes dull
not easily found
a fake often sold
...

Master of the universe
King of all I see
Beauty surrounds me
Wherever I be
...

The summer was full of bustling crowds
Of Ferris Wheels and recreation park rides
Of Handball games and swimming races
Of Barbecues where we lingered over the fire
...

Slow down
Before the world appears to turn fast
Slow down
See everything in slow motion
...

Your Life is a novel
You write each page
Dirt flies in the window
Even if your sage
...

An extra pair of glasses
A slice of toasted bread
An extra pair of gym shorts
An extra pair of laces
...

I write poetry
With my heart
with the music of my soul
it does not matter how well I write
...

I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll bask in the warmth of your beautiful soul
I'll be entranced by your beauty in the moonlight
I'll do anything to help you understand
...

Shadow dog with her down cast eyes
Lies flat on her belly, as I walk by
Not a muscle moves, all paws remain still
As though enough of human overlords she has had her fill
...
