Best Firing Poems

Soldiers marched, upright and ready
Bayonet's pointed, their hand at the steady
The town folk feared what was at hand
They were simple folks, working the land

The soldiers carted away those who could work
On trains they went, when finished, into the earth
Others though not in working order
Faced a...

Take it away
Right now—see here…look here
Run into the light where one shadow casts an intent, lowly eye
Into the very heart of the storm, the words fall with might

You see a word and take sail as doubt and understanding foretell
A heartfelt message meant to destroy all...

“Before The Firing Squad”



the firing squad 
came dressed
in faux smiles

the intervention cake 
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior

to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity

she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority

casting bloodied 
nasturtiums around the 
sacred cow’s neck

then the F-cluster gaggle
tossed the child 
without clear...

Breathing the air of a fallen cloud,
The dust got stuck in the back of her throat,
Adelaine, whence have you come?
High up above from the stratosphere,
I saw you like a tear in the open sky,
Fiery clawed swipes of desperation,
Of trying to hold on,
Like a streaking comet,...

As your immediate boss and superior
It behoves me to have to inform you
Your services are no longer required
A formal letter of termination will ensue!

It has nothing to do with performance
You've really done an admirable job
Believe me, I've tried hard to ignore them
The rumours from everyone's...

The eagle is perched at a firing sight!
And pebbles salute
Converged in a cannon of salutation 
Swift & smooth & sharp!
Bowing near her golden wings 
All the pebbles greet 
Adoring the blackness of her beauty 
Luring her in vain 
Into a home-dance at the village square!

i feel the darkness surround me, 
i know what fate lies ahead,
i sense the fear take over me,
i know i will soon be dead,

i hear the ground beneath me,
i know i must face my end,
i sense the guns select me,
their bullets my only friend,

the darkness...

And the old women trundle out along the beach, 
their snacks and drinks for sale, swinging like rifles
from their sore, wooden shoulders;

and others;  younger and pretty, do the same,
eager to learn… to  make a little money

and they joke when they see me watching...

In the heat of passion. The words are fired off.
Spewing them randomly, with indifference and feeling
Spiritually bitten, with venom induced systemically
Spouting hatred has done them in, firing off yet again.

Randomly spewing with indifference, and feeling
Angry on this land, they spoke this language
Firing off. Yet again...

Enduring love, an effervescing flame, 
Through the open air, we transpire as one. 
For all darkness could not, our light, reclaim, 
Nor quell our longing, pervading passion.  

As our wild love stirs and intensifies,
A wisp of smoke, gives a blissful ascent,
For our great love...

Soul, Soul, where art thee?

I lie sleepeth, in the halls of
the underworld, as my spirit 
roam freely, reincarnating 
as different beings, going 
in and out of existence.

When the flower of life,
gives life, my soul awakens
from a deep rooted sleep.
As I travel down the vine,
matter begins...
