New poem by Bruce Whealton
I’m not sure about the title for this one. I was reading this book called “TranceFormations” about the Hypnotic Patterning of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, produced by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, modeled after the skilled Milton Erickson – father of modern clinical hypnosis. They spoke of hypnotic patterning. This is about love and connection, also. Maybe the title should be “Hypnotic Realities,” instead.
Captivated
You are the river
that flows through me
like relaxation…
the place I go
for comfort…
the dream that inspires me
and reminds me
of those things I had forgotten
and everything
I see
hear
and feel
is some part
of you.
To be in your presence
is to be
in trance.

Watching You – poem by Bruce Whealton
Watching you…
I look at you
and record image
after image
etched in my memory -
hundreds of stop-action
still-frame images -
so many aspects
of you…
so many expressions…
So much of me
bears your name
and image -
looking at me
is to see
what you do to me.
If you could look
into my mind
you’d find yourself
reflected.

My poem "An Infinite Beach" appears in Wild Goose Poetry Review
My poem “An Infinite Beach” appears in the zine, Wild Goose Poetry Review, the spring 2010 issue, which is here: http://wildgoosepoetryreview.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/an-infinite-beach/
At the request of the editor, Scott Owens, I submitted a commentary. I think that is a unique idea to publish author commentaries with the poems, and a unique request – I mean I don’t usually get asked for a commentary when I am published.
I included this commentary on the poem: “I wrote this poem thinking about the things that really matter and that endure. A sense of the infinite, or of joy and love is sometimes noticed in certain moments that stand out in your mind… those moments when you stop, forget about everything else and realize that this, right now, is all that matters, all that will endure. Often we get so distracted and driven by various impulses. So, I thought of a time when that was different for me. I wrote about love. The beach is also very inspirational for me, when I want to write.”

Synchronicity – Poem by Bruce Whealton
Synchronicity
Like magic
a virtual world
of our creation
comes into being,
shared,
experienced
as only two like us
could imagine,
privately.
Your eyes
looking into mine…
you smile
and instantly
I feel it.
When we touch
we will enter into
touch completely…
I’ll come to you
shaking
craving the intoxication
of your lips
and then
calmed by the
synchronicity
of our naked touch
and of movement.
