Long Abstained Poems

"Smooth Big Cat"



He was one of those guys you just knew would be a dud. "Be nice", she said to herself.

She met him on the upswing from the abyss of a dismally closed final chapter....

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

dare not say how you excommunicated me from your life
a spoken word became as absent as bones in a sharks body
a smile which once created smiles now creates eternal strife 

the way you spoke French...

Humanity, humanity;
Why? You suffer from lack of apathy;
It’s an increasing deterrent;
Can’t you see, can’t you see;

Humanity, O’ humanity;
You hate me, I hate you;
What do you think God want us to do;
To do

Wooh oh, Humanity, 'O...

Transition
It is a day of transition
   as summer heat has died 
and the leaves of autumn hold position
  beginning to release the summer ties.

Mid October on the dot
   as near...

I'm Not in Love? Or I'm Not in Love? Or I'm Not in Love? 
(A very sweet song, do you remember it from the late 1970s 10CC?)
It appears that we can never distinguish between
'The Beat'...

Take a pot, heat it hot.
Scratch it dry.
Scrape up any brown, dry left-over bits.
Check the sides as well.
Sniff the seance of conjured smells.
Imbibe the well-up of wafting aromas.
OK, now, dry-run done, you've begun.

Note: To cook...

I see this perfect moon-lit night
with million heart-shaped stars in sight
ill-clad with none but drooping leaves
a fig-tree fraught with a disease
its beauty once majestic spoilt
in battle lost ‘gainst arid soil 

Against all odds with all...

From Wisdom Born, Decades Fighting Fate's Cursed Hand

In youth, a young lad roars for much needed applause
in old age, wisely remains silent with just cause,
seeing the end near, some shed bitterest of tears
thinking such splashing...

You swallow billions in cash, yet your assault strengthens,
everything with life now stands on one side against you
but your unpredictability is what gives you this audacity.
Your sarcasm and indifference to mankind
may seem to amputate medical...

It was the hurt that made him good, from beginning to end as all things should.

It was his loss that made him great, and from his pain, kindness escaped.

It was a hole inside that made...

I visited the optician, for my failed eye
That sailed all over, no see but look
Down the banana plantatian, directed to vie
For every interested favor, for any could hook

I thought me had seen, a scene so...

Unconventional is how we first met,
Unconventional is what we are.
Walls were surrounding me, yet
You still tried to crash them.

Brute force was your might,
While quiet reserve was mine,
For some reason I was in your sight,
You resolved...

I am the muteness behind naivete
Born as the duplication of despair, flunked
A demented soul
An impaired self of bureaucracy

Jaded at the tip of shadow
Above it stood the gray
Quietly stabbed the main arterial venous of the real...

The man I am is the man I made,
Inventing, reinventing all through the loss and the gain,
The joy, the fun the cry and the pain,
In my was and now, the loss I learn, appreciating the...

Hi Ho Hillary Has Won

Of things that happen what would be the worst?
Person you wanted to win did not come in first;
Then there are the proud followed by profane,
Who from their opinion could never obtain.

After...

Your mind is enough for my Soul,
and your breasts freed to sway.
What is will/be is enough and 
I keep my severe dreaming away!

I saw your golden cord climbing
above your nest that rises out
of the mouth...

They say he is a loser, with his finger cut off,
A politician in name, a president so soft.
His people call him "nine-fingered Lula",
An image of a man with much to prove, much to suffer.

He abstained...

UN: 177 countries vote 
in support of the right 
of Palestinians 
to self-determination
At least the world now knows 
The blood stained tyrants behind scenes 
they who act unjust against humanity 
blind to truth and creation...

Why can’t I be bored?
Simply not having a need to do anything
Lucid or dreamy without a thought
Simply a thoughtless mind with nothing

Yet... what has nothing to do got to do with boredom?
I have things I...

Mayday, mayday 
My mind can't believe this was happening
I have no words to say 
I heard something tail spinning and crashing
It was my debauched life
The sand in the hour glass was going way too fast

Stepin' in I look around...
   inquisitively I'm coached,
all eyes piercing yet no sound...
it is all-new then I am approached

  not sure how long I've been detained
only now I'm no-longer a stranger,
I maintained,...

From love, I had refrained,
Blanked it from my heart,
And all that then remained
Cold blood and muscle steel;
Resolve from love abstained,
That you and I should part,
My freedom thus obtained,
Surrender was the deal.

But feelings unexplained
Ran riot through...

A taste of paradise is in your kiss
To be in love with you is sweetness known
Supremacy of love: a lasting throne
