Long Animates Poems

Dusk-gliding swallow, 
please spare my small friends
flitting among the flowers! 
—Matsuo Basho translation by Michael R. Burch

A bee emerging
from deep within the peony's hairy recesses
flies off, sated
—Matsuo Basho translation by Michael R. Burch

If life animates predation,
dynamic investments of time grow ego's prey.

When predative life
captures memories of time's investments
we have opportunity to devour and constipated hoard,
and healthier invitations to absorb with love
and cooperatively re-invest.

Predation is to survival competitions

Weary weapons wearing writhing works wonderfully wreathed wigs...... Oh wow how magnificent the yellow radiance of a piece of straw. Leaning bending learning. Admire nit a wisdom curl if a pitch of ball. Throw away...

Brian Cox 
was on television
pointing out that the 
singularity

Existed 
with no beginning
and no end

The bible say's
God existed 
with no beginning

and no end
he said 
the universe 

began
13.5 million
years ago

perhaps with the big bang theory
the singularity exploding...

When you meet death, smile as if greeting an old friend.
The fear you feel, is the fear that death will not notice how you've changed.
The lessons you've learned, the tears you've cried, the smiles you...

Archetypes flash straight from a pack of Tarot cards
anti-terror Jing Jang synthesis with neuro-spiritual precision
implants explosive animation from the deep unknown
like a taro rootstock growing wings to fly with found suspension

Stereotactic stereotypes archetypes semi-circling soothing...

Within the singing stillness of the sphere, I awaken from a breeze,
Consciousness, a proud guardian in the temple of endlessness,
The eternal fire in the hands of time, keeper of the ephemeral flame,
Watches with fervor the...

Nature, Friend and Foe

Speak out the words to the soft petaled plants, 
that grow wearily in the distant corners
It is there that the scrub jay alights,
squawking and gorging on berries.
This habitat has brought the wildlife...

>>1111>>MY WRITINGS GARMENTS<<1111<<

Wo! Unto the man who stands
And asserts that my writing intends,
To relate only commonplace things,
And secular narratives, 
It’s not even relative,
For if it were so,
You would want to know,
That in the present times,
Yeah...

I am putting out a beacon on the A-M, I Am Legend morning double-dutch
Pepsi cola, paranoia, post-exilic high school drama. Stop.

And if after Death decides to blow my candle out
I step up there where clouds sing
And winds laugh
There where rainbows act out powerful dance moves
There where grass grows merely for the sake of love
And dies...

Sonnet #1

A cloying scent this unrequited love
sad saccharine denial of its roots
harsh coo – the chortle of a fleeing dove
escaping from the nest of passion’s truths.

The fetid feel of limply touching hand
upon the fevered brow...

I can't breathe
When I see humans defending 
Their meaningless arrogance,
Torturing the vulnerable
With their destructive powers
Merely to be able to appoint themselves
As the supposed winners!

I can't breathe
When I read of animals or even humans
Being killed in...

Never a crescent but opalescent
This globe, suspended and always present
And the Wolf cannot be flesh or bone
In this void in time's dim desert zone

The Wolf drinks water by frozen moonlight

Evening shadows
Old tree aglow;
Windy echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Sadness teary
Wet wild night;
Croaking frogs talk

~~~~~~~~~


Bills arrive
Punctual as ever;
Month-end poise

~~~~~~~~~


Happy face
Frolic plays;
Playground tease

~~~~~~~~~


Last words
Hard copy left;
Soundless grief

~~~~~~~~~


Last midday meal
Nap time sleep;
Gone in a breeze

~~~~~~~~~


Word draft awkward
Craft unfinished;
Writer's block

~~~~~~~~~


Dream flash point
Forgotten fragment;
Feeling...

I suppose that nearly every town has its share of self-appointed snobs,
A few old crabs and the usual crowd of ordinary Bills, Jills and Bobs.
In our fair village there's a character whose name is "Squire"...

DOMESTICATED  ANIMALS


Our friends, Animals, 
Your name from the Greek word
“Anemos” comes,
That  Anaximenes, the wise of old, 
The divine wind, that sustains the
Universe, named,
Which with every breath, the lugs of 
Living beings fills 
All...

A sudden awakening,
An urgent hand shaking my shoulder,
Through weary eyes I see the valley blackening,
Their steady thunderous march animates river and boulder,
Allowing only a moment's reprieve in the timid morning light,
Somber clouds and solemn faces,
Ashen...

There are killings,
suffocation in gullet
hell holes, decapitations 
by mandibles stalking in shadows,
death pits at the bottom
of slippery throated flowers
and racked on a web,
a struggling moth
slowly turning into soup.

My garden is a slaughter
field littered with the...

Plain Truth: Christmas

HARK, a majestic consequence proves itself,
bribing through a period that steads neath calendrical overcast skies.

Imagination generates a poetic urge, an unusual unrest.
It roams the green luminescence of a vibrant rainforest,
Drifts away with shining constellations of starry night
And lets eternity of darkness die with colourful insight.

Imagination dives in dreadful darkness...

Behind old church
Just couple of minutes of march 
 Beyond the back stairs that lead to the church
Sometimes looking up at the rainbow of time forming an arch

Between where the church and the castle stands...

A sweet secret 

Waves of depression without waste of opportunity,
Trade with season of whiff of irritation,
Worthy mentioned  whirlwind of smoke,
Animates to weight the wiles of innocence,
Tracing the bitterness with a touch of severity,
