Best Oxidize Poems
Thoughts of 'The Poet'Day after day I sit, poised deep in thought and contemplation
while tourists stop and stare at me with eyes of admiration
Sometimes they seem hypnotized, looking without blinking
I wonder what they would think if they knew what I was thinking
I wish Rodin hadn't sculpted me wearing...

Valueship hip hurrah, herc shot hera
sick sad era, tri city terror
dirty land lover, lips hit terra
karma bent over, messenger error
never say neva, davin say better
no pain no gain, accept the rainy weather
paint a pic pretty , slip on slick cities
have a lot of lovers,...

Crying FireHaving hemorrhaged hope from a gaping gash,
That I've let bleed from between my eyes,
My heart has held that it shan't cease to clash,
With my head 'til I command what its corpus cries.
Water has woken my mind to what its corpus cries:
For wants that my wanton...

Back AgainYou came back, demand rent of my heart
act like it was nothing, again we can just restart.
You don’t hear a single word I say
even when I have nothing left to give away.
My broken bones beg for mending
for they know just what you are intending.
You’re leaving...

Couplet
Caged In At Bryant ParkDusk, prone for a head-on collision
For the trees brace themselves
Huddle as tribesmen to swat away
The human dirigibles taking laps
Around this pathetic attempt
To rape nature for commerce
With intimate kiosks acting as
Mini brothels looking to get laid (and paid, at 70% off)
I hear the...

Digesting AffectionI swallow my secrets,
sharp little shards of the bizarre
that would gossip of my weaknesses
if allowed to converse
with the light.
One by one,
they scratch along
a cervical bridge
between my heart and mind
before being accumulated
in a churning pit
of reason and conscience
that constantly folds self into...

Steel and Idealold songs, tired poems,
languid in clotted veins,
human condition,
artistic renditions,
nose-to-tail in ruts carved deep,
of older stories,
of blood,
of heartache,
of tragic mistakes,
the greed of the caesar,
pales beside tomorrow's smirk of the mogul,
hoary stories made new with designer end paper,
and we...

We Spent Most of Our Life In An Abandoned Train CarWe spent most of our life in an abandoned train car
fashioned a bed out of cloth and some seats
there was no room for both so I took the floor beside you
but there were bugs in our pillow and beneath the sheets
We lived off old paychecks...

In Stride5/6/24
I got to grind
All the time
In order to rise
As it coincides and goes with time
An ode that's signed
With an open mind
Looking at it from both sides
Otherwise
I'll just nosedive
If I fuss and whine
When there's still much to find
The world hospitable for some, to others...

SamsaraClawed clouds descend upon us!
Like Adam so Eve.
Naked we wait…
What gods we are?
As for creation, we End.
In his image, we conceive.
Forests of masonry stand tall,
Chariots of death we ride,
What gods we are?
From the wells of Hell, we drink.
As the elixir of life sings…
Like muezzins leading...

Final Reckoning3/23/21
On a decline or on the rise
Food left out, quickly will oxidize
Experienced a lot of negative, but am putting out positive vibes
When needed, turning into Optimus Prime
Even during Ominous times
Others so quick to drop a dime
It was either honest or a lie
Mostly, it's just been...

Word of HonourMy word
is pure steel,
does not oxidize or
breaks up
And there is nobody
in this world that
makes me abjure,
or revoke it ......

The Wickedness of TimeDo not ask time
to work in tandem with you. It won't.
It revels in doing just the opposite.
It is Satan's vicious curse.
Time doesn't care if you have one leg
hopping along the fast lane
to keep up. It won't adjust to your pace.
It leaves you in the...

Emerging YellowWhen I look at the charred plasma
of a bare knuckled wind
I forget yellow
I forget the smeared tone
of skunk cabbage
rising through fog and mulch
or how in Chiang Mai
the river at sunset
transforms a blistered heat
into the stippled gold of temple lamps
After the grey scuttle of...
