Seeking in Sync of Soul

 Mindseye

—Poetry and Visuals by Smith (Steven B. Smith), 

Cleveland, OH

Frog on log
part would
part bog

 

 

 

Storm Front

 

Winter storm
turns night   
white

Open road
Closed mind
Detour

 

 

 

Blue Flame

 

 

Between the fire
and the forest
lies the flame

 

 

 

Bingo

 

 

The heart ever wants
the eyes never fill
the soul sold

 

 

 

Client's Copy

 

 

Another day endured
on rat-run wheel
seek in sync of soul

 

 

 

Mickeyblue

 

Night's not darker
than inside my head
and dawn's a long way off

 

 

 

Minniewet

 

Lay back in too-hot tub
set time machine to one million years pre-being
push button
pull plug

 

 

 

Picasso's Lamp

 

Today’s LittleNip:

Not as bad as some
nor as good as others
still deadly to the planet

—Smith
