Long Ambers Poems

Everything one has forgotten cries for help in the dream.
In the depths of the night, where darkness spreads its wings like a velvet mantle,
I float through the restless ocean of my thoughts, where shadows weave...

Do you still wonder 
now that you’ve been washed out
into fate’s unforgiving seas
why you were sentenced to a life
you swore was in the wrong body?
Living in the wrong body is a natural crime
The price
To live...

The new roves are not like the old,
They purvey an unwieldy aspect
To their elderly kindred folk;
Even on this steep hill forms encroach
Upon an edifice grand of bygone grandeur;

 So to ‘Ghurt Muire’ that Jacobean domain
With...

Along the corridors both in white overcoats,
I think that’s what unifies us, what charges the environment
Even with light shakes and occasional jades
With larks pretence to just keep the handshake a little longer
Every meeting moment, both...

this,
is all there is---
this page, this typeface, these words, 
shot out amongst the surface as a leaf blower might,
if that mechanism inside 
which is used to suck up a plethora of leaves,
malfunctioned &
all of the...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"

As haunting as autumn’s waltz,
When the maples and oaks charm,
Dancing in ambers, golds and hearts,
Risking the shadows...

A lonely grasshopper

Although the contemplative may disagree,

In late Autumn when leaves change
A scented shade of pine pale torn brown;
Within happiness shift change to sadness...
Amidst the gait of timely hue

A brash circumstance to fully cooperate

Having no...

God’s inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the fall season, bursting forth onto
The leaves once evergreen.
Colors of crisp snapping, auburn reds, fires aglow oranges, and
Subdued darken browns to...

Time ticks away as a new dawn strokes your splitting heart,
with your mood swings re-writing my emphatic poetical art.
Although the fear of your demons may grip my soul
I am now immune to all the personalities...

I used to see an abomination, but now that I have turned into a man
it seems impossible to me, how this has come to be.
How can the two worlds I lived in, turn into a...

Satan tormentor of my dreams;
Deep into that darkness avalanche;
On that day my soul grew in ambers;
Lit on fire condemning---
Once upon this brilliants midnight silent;

I confess between you and me;
Both profess being ungodly;
But you no longer...

It rained today
Shadows appeared later 
Waiting behind the sun
Clouds were fuzzy and fun
You were standing there, and I
Was waiting to catch your tears
When the shadows moved
The sun said hello
Bright as can be
Just a little yellow
Well...it...

Down in my hearts ocean
I will drown in my selfish emotion
My hearts empty room yet deafening commotion
My heart is black, sitting with no motion

As I throw stones to skip in the sea
As a symbol of...

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you
And everything you do;
Yes it’s really true, in the realm of love,
Nothing else ever comes even close
When the moment is just right
And allure of your eyes...

I am not meloncoly or a snob . 
Just shy and demoner.
I am not phychotic or frigid.
For a fire smolders below.

I am not a witch or an ice queen.

You must coax a pearl from an...

You built me up made, made me trust you.
But now you’re the nightmare that plays even in the direct ray of light.
You make me fight not to call you because you are like a fire...

Most days
I am really truly

But then………………………

now come to shore once more

Gray Words

With those lips the multitudes
Speak, giggle, and grin affectionate
Phonemes that silently nail into
Our flesh which moves with 
Starving thirst for caressing, or any
Sign of belonging to a single
Beating, pulsing like turbulent 
Waves that consume...

I look at the colors
Brilliant and soothing
Smiling on a Spring day
Pure gentleness
Caressing my dreams

I watch the sunshine
Lighting the heart
With a radiance that whispers
Of joy, hope and love
Summer’s song
Healing every darkness
With the simple sparkle
Of a heavenly...

I feel your words in my mind as I sigh 
You make me feel like I can do anything
A compliment you give is like a rose to a bride
A blush that does not hide it...

Chasing the Fire

Born in world of violence
Hate , Greed and Fraudulence.
Wars are waged, citizens enraged
Innocence erased from the book of time.

The Tyrants that rule, Feed us lies with a spoon
And the truth that...

Am no longer hollow
Look through my mind, silently listen to my thoughts
Do they still whisper pessimism?
Knock at my grit, does it resound with resilience
Do you feel ambers of penultimate ambience?  
If you see shallow...

Fire, fire around us…

Fire burning from the top of the mountain,
 down to the sea surrounded by fire…

Grass, brush, and trees are just glowing ambers…

Fire fighters on the ground while water dropping 
helicopter are all...
