Best Chisled Poems

Finally here!
Life had begun nine months before,
when a miracle took place in the womb.
No details, just one sperm fertilizing one egg.

Now to finally see light.
Big eyes staring at me.
Him wondering!  Me wondering!
What are first thoughts?
Who can say but God?

Here, you hold him!
But he's awfully...

The late may sunlight is bathing a monument of Nature
so colossal in sculpted vertical structure
that it may very well be the palace complex of forgotten supermen,
stories from my childhood pastor of biblical Petra
discovered by Crusaders, or the Temple of Ramesses in Egypt
emerge in my mind...

153 Street Station is clean
Down sturdy metal steps through 
old Yankee Stadium field
where Ruth and Gehrig ran.

Pungent in the nostrils piss follows me
Up the hill where supers sweep trash 
from yesterday’s deals and conferences
Broom bucket hose black bags.

Mothers pull young children to school
Their Diego Rivera...

STALLION


Flowing mane and tail,
Gleaming coat, chisled muscles,
So magnificent

                                     ...

It's brilliant how one seguays into the next, flashing on the
pennon of this new-age attempt to plagerise the etch-a-sketch, and
if you watch closely, if 
you count your bits and bites, your digital copies of digital recordings transferred from 
magnetic tape and stones chisled with ideograms...

History’s unpopular these days,
No one cares where Blues shot Greys,
Or where the tons of cannonballs were kept.
Union marker stands aloof, alone,
Monument of bronze and chisled stone,
And students giggle where the Northern troops once swept....

sometimes they appear effusively ebullient
need curtailing, pruning
succinctness of clarity demands simple concepts
a fresh way to express tired vernacular
see contrasts that light and dark embody
simile is like a bridge, connecting this to that
ideas behind envisioned conditions
what is seen, what is known
cupid's arrow finding its mark
carefully selected...

We two amidst the wastelands walked
Where heroes fell and mad ghosts leapt.
There slaughtered angels we beheld
With trembling eyelids moist yet brave,
Alone, so drear the gathering Dark!
And you, small vessel, cracked with grief-
By storm,no less assailed...

From haunted trails through orchards thorns,
Their bitter fruit by tears well...

Because of my rugged features, chisled by my life's
                                 experiences, you should not...

I VE BEEN WAITING HERE A WHILE;
WITH IS HUGH BROAD SILLY SMILE;
LIPS ARE CHAPED AND MY MOUTH IS DRY;

JUST TO SEE IF YOU WOULD STOP BY;
KNOWING THIS IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE;
I THOUGHT I GET A MOMENT TO, SLIP INTO YOUR GAURDED SPACE;

DREAMY EYES AND CHISLED...

My face touched your petal
As I awakened to the scent of you
I remembered this fragrance of some would say like morning dew
It was light yet suttle with a hint of sweet
Delicate like foliage but color of honey feet
As I held you close I gently rubbed...

Would that I could be like you
statue of marble cream
a chisled direction rivaling perfection 
from some nameless artisan's dream.

People come to see your beauty
they smile and walk away
Never to get close enough to touch you
never too long to stay

You feel not the darkness
nor rainfall cold...

Tall and beautiful the Christmas tree,
Arrived home with care,
A strong stand anchored the tree,
There was a beautiful angel on the top,
Snowflakes of white,
Different Christmas balls with snow scenes,
Pretty red and green ribbons,
Tiny gold bells that chime,
Wooden decorations chisled carefully,
A royal manger scene,
Favorite Santa and reindeer,
A...

as the waves crash
up against the chisled rocks
their echoing sounds resonate
the bruises  of a battered heart
we find  peace
within the chanting messsage
the whispers soothe
to heal our soul
listening to the matters of the heart

as the world outside
bellows with agony and pain
here we release our tears
into...
