Bemoaned Poems

On The Inside

...
If beauty is but skin deep,
I prevailed upon her to construe,
'Does it lie in the eye of the beholder

High-Minded

...
Smoking toking you must be joking
it's a bust I just don't need an altered sense
of time and space or on choking
a mind-numbing feeling of euphoria
as I am happy as a clam
(thank y...

Tortured Memories

...Memories are fickle things
They seem to love to torture
When you desperately just want to forget
Seems memory's fruitage is an orchard

They can seemingly come from anywhere
But they don't need...

Eyes of a Lover

...To love is to burn with passion, like flames of a fire.
                                                                ~ by poet


On canvas, her loveliness was yet a vague concep...

A trunkful of recyclables patiently awaits,

...A trunkful of recyclables patiently awaits,

(and cries out long day's journey into night,
no...not for Eugene O'Neill),
but rather being distributed
in their respective bins at Wegmans
Under t...

You will then miss me

...When I gasp for the last of breath
And take tentative steps to death,
Way-lost, unsure wither to go, 
Baffled, fallen short of your faith,
                       You will then miss me.

And whe...

Coherent Whole

...You've read it correctly,
 that's what the directions said directly
but
it's not some innate random homogeneous gift 
 that encourages and displays these internal poetic rifts,

we are somehow ...

Unorthodox nonestablismentarian epitome

Who's a Saint

...
I read a poem about
      a mother, a saintly mother,
      who, with knotted and veined
      hands, crocheted blankets 
and booties and mittens
for grandchildren, 
      who made lemonade

These Three Remain

...
This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth. Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence ~ Psalm 73:12-13

Wrapping Spirit

...Inscribed still stone unholds, supine spirit enfolds
bemoaned psyche enwrapped, entranced soul strings unsnapped....

Faustian Bargain

...A smashing sound stirs, they “bang the gavel.”
Concessions granted; court begins to unravel.
The eight need votes, an agreement was reached. 
Abandoning rightwing values once preached
Tenure, cas...

Guillotine

...I heard screams from those marked for a guillotine death
No compromises for their cries before taking a last breath
Words of repentance for dastardly crimes were bemoaned
Begging for mercy with fe...

Four Spokes Bespoken

...When relationships face
an uphill slog and bike's
battery is flat as well,
take on the four spokes
real deal, bespoken.
The first to speak is 'what'.
What is it, that makes you
want to shout o...

One Day

...One day not so long ago

Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul
