Best Fumes Poems

the daily news droned on and on
    as hope gave way to gloom
  every ray of sunshine doused
    by raindrops spitting fumes

  war and murder everywhere
    no part of earth untouched
  I pulled...

When I go to buy gas,
My teeth I want to gnash,
And I curse 'neath my breath,
And want to choke the hose!
Save room at the poor house;
I am gonna need it!

Gas is awful high.
Four bucks a gallon!
A loan from the bank.
Might help somewhat to,
Fill my empty...

Like chameleon hiding growls in chains
She fumes in defiance, such stubborn will;
A raging fire about Vie I can’t explain
Mocking fate when stars bind her daunting spills.
Oh woman, your patience bears heavy weight
Brisk moments clamor for rest longing in vain,
This hunger for answers race, time rings...

As I smoke the living dead, I inhale my mind
and produce dreams as if the devils thoughts 
were convulsing in bliss. They become reality and dance
around me as pagan rituals....

sometime in winter
i must choose hibernation
wanna sleep the rest of my life away
i am stuck at this dead end to the point where choice is an inanimate object out of fashion

blue snowflakes fall 
i must choose separation
wanna hide the rest of my life in the...

Latterly skies blazed
after gold riches were lost
mourned by seas of blooms
exuding heady perfumes
Scarlet sun has gone down slow...

Are You Exhausted?  Worn Out?  Running On Empty Fumes?


Is your life running 
on empty fumes?
Are the adversities and stress
 of life being consumed?

Any zeal and passion for God
 may be in the past…
You wonder; “How long is life
 going to last???”

Perhaps you feel...

Is your life running 
on empty fumes?
Are the adversities and stress
 of life being consumed?

Any zeal and passion for God
 may be in the past…
You wonder; “How long is life
 going to last???”

Perhaps you feel like your
 anchor’s “been lost at sea…”
And ask; “Lord… ...

E-bikes, E-scooters, E-cars
Darting through the streets
Even E-mountain bikes
To take you to the peaks.

One problem with this E-solution
Is the amount of E-pollution
as we plug them in at night
drawing power, out of sight.

Unlike the runner or the cyclist
powered by plant-based fuels
shortsightedly we lobby for
these battery powered tools.

      Ah, the fragrant fumes of paint drying on a picket fence
         followed by the grease-stained smell of turpentine on the brush

      Though doubtless matched by the...

An empty packet of Gauloises,
black coffee, a croque monsieur.
An aromatic café
breakfast in the Montmartre.

Later I switch to Camels,
a bumpy ride to seek out a friend
in the sixth arrondissement,
that night I left my Dunhill lighter
on her bedstand.

The cigarette lighter
had value,
I had haggled for it in Malacca,

Black flame
Sweet poison fumes
Etched deep with warnings clear—
Yet Dad and Mum still kiss its g h o s t,
A stream of pleasure shaped as cancer sticks.
Death  l i n g e r s  in the smoky shade,
Disguised as friendly g h o s...

a carcass is moving
out from the white of the eye it is 
so all-consuming 
dots form in lines on the absentee spine 
dry undefined lumps are soft and infusing
the bruises and rind and the opal contusions 
they fire with pus and with derelict mucus that...
