    Perfect World (I)

     Grey mist
    Rising from beneath
    Enshrouding sacred footprints

    Black skies
    Cadaverous knights

    Purple hearts and sweet
    Girl's smiles that break hearts for fun

    Glass eyes
    Crazy old men and
    Skinny dogs with yellow teeth

    Drowning
    In the green-brown surf
    Contemplating what life's worth

    Take care.
    D'ya know what I mean?"
    And alas, sadly, I do

    Light shines
    Black and blue round marks
    Skin burns in the atmosphere

    Walk on
    Slow, deliberate
    Leaving footprints in the dust

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
