Long Amens Poems

Life as active love 
evolves toward more polycultural communication,
across both species and time,
within Earth’s Solar EcoSystemic Universe.

While this conversation includes human natured communicators,
we suboptimize our ecological balance
if endo-human discourse monopolizes our lifetime learning dialogue.

A life...

So after I told the crowd
in the store that I was
not Dolly Parton,
they quickly went away
disappointed and forlorn like,
going over to the dairy
to pick up some milk,
tried to stay calm as I
noticed pictures on
the back...

Song of the Harvest Home

Under contented twilight memories, my childhood harvest home abides in chrysanthemum hues
Two story home on a quiet street behind a fence decorated by my grandmother’s roses - 
Dressed up in sleet,...

Stop drinking alcohol,
this only reassures us,
like social media,
like your favourite TV shows,
and drugs,
that our personal problems are all okay,
when intoxication is an escape route,
from our abstract reality.

Smoke cannabis on special occasions,
with friends,
on holidays,
away from work,
and...

The Abomination 

By Elton Camp

“Abomination! Abomination!” the preacher stormed
“A child of hell is all such a one will ever be!
It’s a choice one makes to serve the evil Satan.”

I wanted to love myself
But couldn't get past my reflection
or the recollection
of all my imperfections
It was so much easier 
to turn my back on myself
and go in a different direction

So I poured out myself to...

Its Sunday
By David J Walker

Cheap Avon colon that comes in a 
Smoked glass automobile bottle
Bought from his sister-in-law

He is wearing his best suit

Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus
David J Walker

I see Seagulls and Saints
	And icy sills of Window’s
Restraints of blurred realities 
And unaccompanied Complaints
But clearly every pray ends 
In amends and Amens 
And incitant constraints 

I see syllables...

Every celestial body sighs within days and truth.

Piles of human arms and sloppy heads laid
On food-trays of half-eaten buns with cold tea
Magazines, milk bottles, and jackets
Passed us by in a whisk of infinity;
You never once moved but peacefully slept
Just this night----
Amidst the...

The stench of urban decay winds thick 
and rank through squalid, narrow
streets christened with booze and urine,
permeating decades of neglect.

A drunken derelict slurs enthusiastic 
amens in hopeful penance at a rabid 
street-corner prophet spitting frothy...

River Bends

Is it fate's sordid trick?
Or did all reason just fall sick

Maybe it's not all we hoped for
We wanted so much more

Was it strange, that we two dreamed?
No it couldn't be, having never seemed

It lifted...

My affections are never sensed by you
My emotions are never cared by you

I waited and waited till dawn to dusk
But this way are never coursed by you

This forlorn devotion is never beheld by you

Almost Home

I'll soon be going home
To meet with all the angels
Around God's heavenly throne.

Upright and gracious is He
Loving as love can be
We say our "Amens"
With calmness within
And worship His presence indeed.

We bow before His face
And reverence His holy place
Our faces aground
His glory around
We're lost in the love of...
