POEMS: Introspection Direction and Mute Romance
These were written to the CPC Simple Sunday Picture Challenge’s art by gyurka, entitled “Learning To See.”
INTROSPECTION DIRECTION
Suck a ball out of the wall
which confounds truth inside us all.
Open vision to the scene
of naked soul washed squeaky clean.
Through the prism of the past,
find significance to last.
Deduce why you did your do’s
so you can win before you lose.
Astride the tide a telling ride,
in towards core, then out to see
realities which egos hide:
drives of your humanity.
Learn to see the good and bad,
the ins and outs of what you had.
Magnify till you can read
all the small print of your need.
Accept the reject in your seed.
Defectiveness infects your breed.
Then make amends so you can strive
to move ahead while still alive
There’s the keyhole of your soul!
From your reveletions’ bowl,
mold a key to fit its shape.
Now you’ve captured your escape!

MUTE ROMANCE
In the wall he spied a niche,
a crack just big enough to fit
one big eyeball looking through
to women’s shower room and loo!
What he saw was a surprise.
Venus, yes, made interest rise!
Mesmerized by beauty bared,
pupils grew large, nostrils flared!
But other sight made breathing stop:
magnifier on countertop!
Panting voyeur shocked to find
he spied on his own furtive kind!
Passing in the halls preserved
silences now more absurd.
Both too shy to introduce
though feathers shared by duck and goose.
For this pair sealed secret pact.
Through hole in wall its progress tracked.
Clandestine thrills remained in line:
you show me yours, I’ll show you mine!
