Long Ace up his sleeve Poems

But Truth Is Life And Love Is So Very Much More

Yes, these words do fly away from a poet's heart

Virtues are more than they appear to be.
Ripples of connectivity.
Something switched on with the light?
A companion, manual, override.
Especially when storm clouds rear- appear to ruin the blue skies'-

But not like a knife,
that cuts the whole...

So shall I be honest 
I was modest
You took it for granted 
I have a strong sense of being abandoned
I hope you know I hate to see you
Because every time I do I’m reminded how...

The theme park was crowded. Elephants on roller coasters, mosquitos bracing the water slide, ferrets enjoying the ferris wheel and leopards shooting crack in the gallery. A myriad of personification and abundance of fairy tailed...

The Face Cards (first version)


The table is set. Blood has been spilled

Rules have been finalized 

The devil is dealing the cards

They have been shuffled and dealt

I’ve been dealt a crappy hand

You knew it, you knew...

Face the day

Woke up to the thunder clapping,
on the window rain was tapping...
the rain sometimes... reminds...me of you

The crack and flash of lightning,
they put on ...quite a show...
the sky just like your face was grey-blue

Listen to the chumps,
listen to the rubes,

is going down the tubes

But every wise guy knows
when the fix is in
To put all their money down
on the one who has no chance to win

It's the...

Defined By Idioms

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.

I often see astray dogs, roaming the streets for a sense of purpose.
I am quick to find simlarties. 
After all, why wouldn't there there any similarities.
If life is a game of poker, then my dealer...

G BART AND LITTLE ED
Big Bart was a mean guy killed people just for fun
First he’d stab em with a knife then shoot em with his gun

I thought of a girl 
I wished to know better
So I started with her name
Examining the placement of each letter
The name
That name 
The one she chose
Not Rose
or Daisy
Violet or Macy
The interesting bit
She chose the name...

We are all sinners and we know it
Greed and temptation are some of the tools
That old Satan knows how to use well
God has no problem if we make a profit
If we do it his way...

I'm senile, demented, a has been, a dud,
At least that's the story, the Republican fad,
Yet little they know in their haste to throw dirt,
That they're helping my cause with their views so absurd.

Each arrow they...

I still struggle with doubt,
The forces surmount me from within and without
They fling me around and about

I’m caught up between taking the world for myself or taking it for nothing
But I feel that even though...

SOMETIMES THE FLOWER ISN'T WORTH THE RAIN

She smoked their last cigarette of faith 
Running out of time and out of breath 
She couldn't whisper a...

especially when you're soaking in what seems real. 
Peace be still, calm storms are rarely ever quiet, 
seems like we're all pirates in this world 
always stumbling across fools gold,...

Remembering back
When I was younger
back in a previous life
when I enjoyed playing the game

Went out with my share of beaus
More than my share some would say

Foolish and naïve yes
But I always kept an ace up...

Great solar winds
Agape’s breath
Where souls began
Cosmos's bequeath

First living soul
Then quickened spirit

And not love’s copy

Within love’s genre
As solar wind blows
Renewing must be
Love's kingdom...
