HEAVY TUMBLING STORY

Before forbidden words
dawn to confess
Come... Come.. C O M E...
Uncoil your taste-buds to me
Entrust you health fully to thee

Yours truly,
FOOD

Enamored beyond possible reproach
I opened my mouth for crumbs of tasty
Crumbs later become spoonfuls
Spoonfuls turned to one, two, three plateful

Appetite feast in crescendo of...

Then there was this big girl called Jill
Who yearned to be seduced by big Bill
She laid herself on the ground
And to her horror she found
She’d made a huge mountain out of the molehill...

I think I’ll just stare at the wall for a while,
painted in latex, light beiges and creams
Searching for nail holes in random-like patterns,
counting the cracks that appear at the seams

Glance at the baseboard, an alternate color,
maybe a calendar hung from a hook
Red and blue dates...

The few achieve enormously,
while the decrepit fools realize their assistance. 
 
During the control,
beneath the breathing rumor,
they consider. 
 
Below the eye, 
authority falls from its pyramid. 
 
Little plans towards the bright objection.
 
The powerful urge swings above the time-bound findings. 
 
Among the...

Fragile flakes weave a blanket of soft snow
covering Autumn's leaves with Winter's white.
And blustery breezes begin to blow
as a sullied sun disappears from sight;
and day can no longer hold back the night.

Winter wails amidst a flurry of flakes; 
with Her crystal aura composed of ice.
And...

Tumbling down
By Nate Spears
Published in 2012 Main Street Poems by Nate Spears

Zoom in closer
It’s as clear as a jumbo screen
Get rich or die younger
Is the objective in streets
In high definition

Not amused by funny
City transportation is tumbling
With high velocity; and
Unlawful might
Parading clowns to jail by night
Death...

I do

Do you 
 shock 
your brain
 into 
deep freezing?
When you 
 lick up
the reasoning
 in 
morbid ideas?

Do you
 race
your brain
 into
tangled breezes?
When you
 roll with
the reasoning
 in
frenzied ideas?

Do you
 display
your brain
 into
expensive retail?
When you
 order up
the reasoning
in
action alley ideas?

Do you 
 squeeze
your brain
 into
cresting...

I've paid a price, more times than not
Through life, my cost was high

From bottoms up, then down I fought 
At times, too tired to try 

Why do I slide on down this hill?
One way is all it goes 

You'd think I'd learned my lesson now
Yet,...

Hi all, 

A while back, I published a long epic free verse poem about the Samsara. I originally wished to publish it on Poetrysoup, but as I had a specific font and overlapping picture design in mind, it was not possible. Thus, if anyone wishes...

Tumbling Tumbleweeds

God saw fit to give unto them birth,
no beauty in its display while upon the earth. 
Quickly the wind throws them about to wander
there are no need of boots to travel over yonder.

Along the countryside not rare,
In due season cast aside their seed to...

Tumbling Into Leechdom

The Omo River Ethiopia has no roads or bridges there
It is my home of hope
There is no other way to live
Leeches were once everywhere within the Omo
Tributaries, brooks and streams attended them
Morning’s sun would glaze my eyes when I was young
Running with the...

Calm Sea Tumbling With Contentment

 Beyond the time of bitter complaining
 into fearful fogs of future regret
 Dreaming about shorter days remaining
 and ever greater loving not known yet

 Crossing the higher land of wonderment
 could one so desperately in love find
 The comforting of...
