Best Shafting Poems

I was working in the Capitol late one night 
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
Nancy Pelosi began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
She did the bash
She did the Samoan bash
She did the bash
It was a liberal smash
She did the Bash
It gave me a rash...

[ ... story with context, a plausible universe with top and bottom
  a coat of cosmos covering
  over a subterranean protoverse of potential fields
  a quantum cellar creating
  the very big banging cosmos and much faster-than-light travelling
  a probable theatre...

Ankh Amon - Ra

Morning to the gateway of the sun
Set between lantern sea skies
The magic of those Egyptian eyes
Their incantation has begun
Turning worlds of one
Washes through my mind
Azure beaches in the cloud

Focus zenith hidden in the line
Where night has drawn her time

By the sanctum of...

In the folly of my
life
I run and hide as
much as possible.
I also at times walk
right towards the
problem.
The statement was
not just meant for
the terminally ill:
  
Everyday is a
miracle.     
Gratitude should be
the last remaining
nutrition for the
soul.  
Even in the horrid
way
We may...

Do spring the parched dust
of palates unhinged in thirst
waiting for cracked clouds
and marbled eyes
Do watch the grey light
shafting skin of sky and rain
sitting on the edge
to nip surprise
Do lift the white moon
on silver strings to star beat
floating on dew drops
and water beads
Do calm the ocean

The incongruity sparkles, dirty diamonds in a drain,
With hackles rising, lips drawn back, in lemon peeling pain;
A psychodrama stage of sleight springboards the stupid head,
“I know,” she thinks, “I’m always right, I know that’s what he said.”

The egotism sponges as a leech ingesting blood,
The eyes...

An excruciating Sunset gradually plunged behind my frail head
Dazzling glooms of muscular flames surrounding corners of my bed
With gleaming ominous vessels burdened by wonders of the dead
Enriched with overflowing water that curses the entire glory night
Blinding over the house spectacle & baffling it from the...

Love

An enigma that knows not the count of time
A vast ocean, measureless its borderlines,

Astral light, the luscious light of smiling moon
Heavens can't fathom its pleasant, charming guiles.

If it catches a heart unguarded, it plunders
Makes it yield to vast domains and heaven highs;

Now with secret signals,...

Moderately silent is the garden
Quite dazed with the moonlight
Contented with perfume
Engrossed in the opium dreams of poppies.

There the firefly lights open and disappear
On leaves and trellises moon shimmers
Moon-spikes shafting through the trees
Without a sound a leaf falls on me.

And then you come
As quiet as like...

The backyard finally shines with green and blue
Julie stresses and storms through the shafting Saturday light
Ella cries over the tossing of her mother's old trophies
She wants them though they're not hers to have
I am standing amid a circuitry of thick taut ropes 
With duck tape...

Frames hold nature best.

A shafting of light sifts gray marsh and water--
turning past dim hills of hay
solemn in silence.

An essence of earthworms fill the air
as light seeps through a colander of clouds,
catching the ephemeral cattle in a vase of sun.

How gentle is the hand that...

The mesh fashion fit
The shuttle shafting fad hand,
Parading eyes hit....

Always wanting something.
You make such demands of me.
Why me?

Why not the guy over the road?
Or the gal in the bar?
It’s always me isn’t it?

You want me to pay for your new dog.
And then pay for you to learn to drive.
Never mind the cost of your...

When we accidentally drove to heaven
My arms weren't raised.
Our speed was volatile; harmless.
Tapestrating over Maui's shafting light
Over broad and blush-green landscapes,
I felt the Name and the Face.
I asked, "Why can't I be happier?"
We drove out of heaven hearing a glowingness reply:
"You can do anything you...
