Long All around(a) Poems

"Angels & Demons"




The Soul never sleeps
battered and lonely, the lesson 
Life spent in The Hard Sell

melting Insomnia 
mouth sucking a loaded gun

pulsing electricity 
from heart to lung to brain

you’re a...

See them parking every where
All kinds of food they bringing
Rum, sweet drinks and cold beer

cows are mooing
sheep are bleating 
dogs are barking
hens are clucking
and the farm animals
have come alive.
It is spring and we have to survive

Spring is...

One of many things I lost at
Failed to stay on that

Watching all the cars pass on buy
The street lamps give a distant glow

Looking at the view from the outside
A whole completely different perspective
Especially when looking...

Musky fragrance inundates
my nostrils as I enter 
the garden center:
a rhapsodic feeling
in idyllic surroundings.
The air is humid
like an Amazon garden,
heat barely tolerable
making my glasses misty.
Soft music, dulcet and sweet,
swamp the amazing conservatory. The caterpillar had...

Inviting and magnetic the towering awesome sight
A perspective of domineering rock and icy peaks
It challenges, dares and beckons with unfolding beauty
Stretching upwards into shades of blue and puffy clouds.

We all race to the gateways of hell

My tail flicks back and forth as...

The road ahead is almost yellow
Somewhere bright somewhere faded
Waiting for its soon-to-come fellow
In the air crispy murmurs

Alder and Birch look cravingly
Squirrels running at their feet
Gathering seeds and nuts so wisely
Stashing better than our closet


Maples flare...

The semi-truck came hurtling fast, its trailer swerving, out of control,...
