Best Slavishly Poems

O
the bane
of being so slavishly in love,
to face another bloodless sunrise alone.
Myself, I’m spun in silken strands enthralled                       
yet, still stung by the...

A dead man’s boat
rowed itself from isle to isle,
dragging its dead man in its wake,
partially submerged, their tether tenuous,
yet somehow never broken.
Past The Isle Of Reeds,
where the slaves had been freed
from the crack of their master’s whip,
and their master, with great resentment,
would be exorcised of...

Liberal in restoring Love,
Conservatively against retributive Anger and Fear

The L word,
like the N word,
Labels no one with healthy political aspirations would want,
no conservative fellow-conservationist of monoculturing privilege
that we would want to rabidly become
liberally uneducated
and slavishly remain unhappily in stuck.

The L word
is a political caricature,
a despotic...

O Magog,
from the sterile land of Gog,
thou rejoicest over how thy biological idol father
hast devilishly embraced thee

Spiritual mathematics 
offer free radical theorems
of probability analysis

Doth thy Gentile nuclear goggles
allow thee to see
the virtual microbe mushrooming variables
in a decaying half-life reality?

O bastard son
of a thousand fathers
Raised on...

Who am I talking to
as I rehearse my memory stories,
shadow voices,
echoes,
and my own heroic victim analysis?

How snugly language fits 
within karma's great chain of becoming
Earth's prophetic saintly sage 
lecturing Othered parasitic peers

Living off malnourished Mother's
ambivalently valued,
too often ego-possessed
yet slavishly steadfast
bicameral creative mind
and reconnecting heart
and communing...

It's hard to think in Either-Or Deductive,
while speaking and acting in Both-And Inductive.

For example,
If my Brother is kind and loving
(and he usually is),
and really not all that judgmental and condemning
with his wife and kids especially fond,
and the grandkids,
outrageously,
and if he understands himself
as a BornAgain EnvangelicalOrthodox...

My Lady Requests So Much


Shall I splash love into your gay heart
gift a golden treasure beneath your feet
setting my sail into your longing chart
my heart quickly pulsating to your beat

Shall I chain my mind to your sexy dream
clouds of hope wrapped deep into your quests
Tasting...

Mine courtship and marriage with deadly obsession...

As September daze will soon arrive
recollections from a 
psychologically checkered  past
loom large recalling  
tragic storied days of mein kampf.

Circa early nineteen seventies:
As a mere slip of a shy lad,
(who knew nothing 
about powder milk biscuits),
I experienced unfettered...

A methylated river flows
Through the verdant hills
It suffocates the pastures 
It maculates the mills

Its waters burn and blister
They torturously bend
To Tartarus below
They slavishly descend

I only hear the torrent
On certain times of year
When days are counted fewest
And Death is reckoned near...

DOUBLETHINK
Can’t Fool Mother Nature

1: THIS LIFE

Newspeak, Doublethink,
and other similar words
only bedevil us.

When trying to figure out what was said,
George Orwell In his novel, “1984,” 
left us clues to solve such improper speech. 

For, we live with words, 
be they constantly updated to satisfy the altered...

This year we pooled our money to give to a needy cause.
So we’re not expecting much on Christmas Day from Santa Claus.

Of course the children all will find their hearts’ desires beneath the tree.
They are too young to know the thrill of giving to a...

I am a right-brain prominent writer
which must not be confused with
a prominent left-brain writer,
which I am almost decidedly not
nor would I aspire
toward such all or nothing thinking
and not at all both/and feeling.

Like most writers,
I feel more like the muses of rhetoric
and storytelling
and poetry
chose me,
more than...

It seems that every day the media lionizes a celebrity's name.
Their name seared upon our brain for some nefarious game!
Recall, tho', if you can a soldier's name who died for this nation,
Protecting our precious freedoms, having served with dedication.

A greedy politician's name makes headlines in...

The year had started bravely,
	With assurances anew
	With life and hope anew
O, but the knave – he played me,
	With assurances untrue!
To contemplate it slays me -
	His promises untrue!

Yet years drone on like drumbeats,
	The monotony of years
	The bleak and sullen years
And a scarcity most bittersweet,
	Most certainly appears
A...

I sit by sorrow's streams
Amidst wistful longing
Your first soft kiss that lingered
will forever haunt my dreams

How sad it seems
to be so slavishly in love
weary even of life, 
such sorrowful extremes, 

but I hear remnants of our song
and pine for your possession
to live without you is...
