Oasis

Worn out senses require respite
Real break from the staccato of life
Calming and soothing lull in crowds
A welcome reprieve at a desperate time
Perhaps l go to my room to bed
Soothing sleep providing relief.

tease worst kind

my damn fingers itch
worst for me as I can't react
flaps of skin waiting to be pulled
and then I succumb quite easily
and the genius of healing
restores it right back
I enjoy the feeling that
a good sloughing will do.

tango I want to learn

perfect and opulent
full of passion and energy
worldly rythmic moves
I only wish I could do
tango is a dance
l really want to learn.

welcome salmon

a welcome dinner
lt has been an eternity
succulent salmon
grilled to perfection
perhaps you will make it for me.

yeah woe eternal to me

the anguish I feel
when hope ebbs away
world goes on and me?
I stay a polite statue
and woe washes over
waves upon waves
must people think
I have nothing to say
lf only they knew
what stays in my heart.

learn another way

the way for me wears thin for you
endless repetition and so little to show
very different inside, I know what I see
then why can't I replicate what I see
deliver the lesson that I know so well
not stand looking stymied which I abhor.

quick picking

and an entity on to itself
my work of obsession
l am too quick
l am too thorough
an annoying piece
an extra flap
of skin taunting me
and then all gone.

Toronto symphony orchestra...

the concert was fantastic
although we were far
really enjoy music
earplugs allow pleasure
sound is a joy
when muted to taste
l enjoy a perfect night out
when l go and entertain myself.

world is vast

a stunning vista
poles apart
white sand and turquoise ocean
heat and amazing sunshine
and on the same planet
at the same time
white snow, biting wind
freezing cold, weak sunlight
query l have
world, why are you so different?
although we have the same planet.

the anguish of rats

enough with raising animals
to suffer and die
we should have a better way
to teach and to learn
the students learn through simulation
on a model or computer
they will not retch or gag
and the animals will not die.

awesome show of clowns

yesterday I watched with glee
at the funny things the clowns did
enjoyed the lack of words
which did not result in
a complete loss of understanding
a model for the world that should be.

allowing freedom

reasoning perhaps is impossible
this body does not listen
it freezes and stalls until you set it free
and I throw my freedom away just like that
really I wonder why I am like that
ensnaring my body and mind like that.

quite relaxed

the tense body waiting coiled
and tense spring wound so tight
worked in and not released
and twenty years I aged like that
so easing that stress till I sleep
gives blessed relief so sweet
work it and work on
enough so I relax.

perfect sunshine so amazing

totally focused on the rays
shining bright and warm
love the heat warming
melting the ice formed
inside my frigid frozen body
only two more months left
two more till the joy of spring.

cope well totally good

only I think I am getting better
loud sounds permeate still
but dominate my being less
energy until now I perhaps
use too much otherwise
and I toy mindlessly less
and listen to my surroundings
that is why I think I cope better.

yeah I am a gymnast first

education is easier when accompanied by movement
the energy spills and opens real thinking
and the roadblocks to learning fade away
then so alert I feel anew
this socially aware intense me
always I wish it lasted
this feeling of being alive.

yes until I type I am unfulfilled.

perfect reason I give you
to read about autism endlessly
researching and applying
to my mysterious body
one day it will work
l thrive on this notion
perhaps one good day
that moment will come.

the test of life

the test of life
reaching old age is difficult
light load life does not hand to many
thus going ahead on this journey
requires courage and strength
only true grit will get you through
reaching and writing the test of life.

Oasis of my mind

Oasis of my mind
Enough I sometimes feel
The stimulation I cannot bear
Loud, bright, so painful
Sore really tired I feel
Then oasis is welcome
Lost in my personal world
An energizing soothing world
An opening to bliss for me.
