Perception Versus Reality: 5 Poems by Colin Stewart

Playing her like a Stradivarius for the very first time
he had beginner's luck and it was sublime
but the bliss of young love is not what it seems
when amateur night is the stuff of wet dreams!

--

To determine a man's compassion and ultimate fate
he invented empathy in order to relate
to a woman who is also in a petrified state
when navigating the treachery of their first date!

--

The Advant-Garde went to a different place
when music disappeared without a trace
as his orchestra stripped down and began to embrace.
Did the strain not show on the conductor's face?

--

The visitors from another galaxy are still not sure
although our message is tolerance and provides a lure
and when hope is fleeting in need of a cure
the verbalism of "no problem" will always endure!

--

He aimed to project a reverent tone
but temptation reduced him to a guttural moan
and his earthiness gave way to the familiar refrain
when the sacred was upstaged by the profane!

one track mind
Your writing is good ,your subject matter isn't. This kind of subject matter to me isn't what I liker to read, anyways that's just me.

Your poem opened my mind to a different perception
Funny but so many things escape from our mind and it doesnt matter how alert one might be.Some situations slip through our fingers and when this happens what one can notice differs so much from reality...first night with the one our heart craves for,first date and etc...what we believed to be so sacred tend to be profane when reality speaks louder.Darling, great poem...I can see Colin's heart here.
