I Feel Pasts

I feel all pasts,
As if they were yesterday,
Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels.
As if I were still two-tens and five,
Rather than three-tens and two.

Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth.

Is today youth?
How could it be when youth was then.

I still feel me in your arms,
And you

A Poem from 2013

As The Light Fades


White doves flutter, dying words whisper
silence becomes haunting, and Angels sing
a lone filtering light of soft glisster
casts fleeting shadows from a white dove's wing
this lighted arrow pierces the dusk-gray
I shall pray for you on my knees my love
and touch the hard floor where your casket lay
to seek unanswered questions from above
I find

Again-Circa 2013

****Dedicated to my bestie and those late nights and early mornings filled with turbulent tears and triumphant takeaways from early lessons and heartbreaks****

Here I am again, coming to my end. Again, and again, and again. Same face, same lips, same eyes. Same kisses, same promises and the same dressed up lies. Always falling for this

From 2013-Once Upon a Time Bubba Had the Flu

Bubba has the flu 
I do not know what to do 
Since Bubba has the flu

I can not see in front of me 
I can not see behind me and Bubba still has the flu 
And I do not know what to do 

Should I call Sherlock to find out what happen to make Bubba

47 Years 2013

47 Years 2013

My thoughts and memories come and go

To go into denial of getting old

Recalling only things in the past

Endearing love that always lasts

To observe and enjoy the growth of your kin

With abundant love you always win

To live to see another day

Continued love surrounds me

Especially YOU

The View of Anthony Hepplethwaite 2013

With a little tightening round the waist 
the skinny day comes out to taste the 
fatness of the light
I am in sight of something great but I’m hungry,
cannot wait
so I make my move too soon
and am swallowed in the craters of a Moon so cold
so very, very old with its yellow hardened crust 
that would

Places to visit.


This body aches to fake another day
to stay one step ahead
but if there was another way
I think I'd stay in bed.

Not built to last
finished now and cast adrift
and yet my spirits lift
when I gaze upon the face before me
a face filled sensitivity
duration and nativity.

I wish I could see the whole
wish I could see

2013

And it came to pass, when God cause us to wander  (wonder)
Thou shall not kill
It's not it God's will
And if a man also lie with mankind 
As he lie with a woman both of them commit an abomination
What's wrong with my people in this generation;
Guess it's the sign of the times no reasoning
Guess just

November 21st, 2013

The day you were born, my soul was set free
From the chains and pain that held on to me
No longer swimming with demons, They all let me be
As the love took hold, the angels did sing.

The day you were born, my eyes opened wide
All my feelings of doubt began to subside
As my heart, and yours,

March 4th, 2013

i can feel it happening inside of me again. the coldness that slowly chokes the love out of my heart. it's clumping in my throat and i can barely breathe without remembering every fault. every fragment of my memory turns to you, and i can see you walking away. i want to follow, but the

Foxestalk Xmas Party 2013

It was the night before Christmas
Not a sound was heard
Except for the sound of Mods
Discussing the Foxestalk message board.

The subject was a Christmas party
Which happened every year
There was always panic among them
As the dreaded day drew near.

Who should they invite?
Will there be fights a free for all.
Finally they decided
Sod it we'll ask them all.

It was

Devil Within 25 08 2013

All my poems writ by only the greatest of pains,
Every verse born out of the memory that remains.
I sat in silence to study its golden delight;
Only for this Dreamer to awaken his Devil tonight…

Just like Jesus without His wine-
Or a poet without his rhyme.
Mankind bastards tainted my soul;
Raped my words and played me whole!

Safely away

Boston Marathon 2013

Rock us
To the core
Images splattered
Across every screen
New news, wrong news, bad news
In the brouhaha all semblance
Of order is lost
A marathon turned to a scramble
Some run for their lives
Some race to the fallen
The horror drags on
Police killed
School than neighborhood
Shutdown
Locked down
Ghost town
Of a vibrant city
Stats come in
3 killed in double blasts
260 injured
1 policeman shot
Yet the suspects (2)
