Long Appraised Poems

I was a bed and mattress tester, a dream job like that of a yellow moon.
I tested the comfort of beds, pillows, etc., for night is ever coming soon.

I studied sleep patterns too, like vivid...

I used to think that life was a joke.
When I was 9 I started to smoke.
When I was 11 I began to drink.

By the 8’o clock warning device
Raised up undesirably at a lazy pace
Retrieving the welcoming hateful whole day race. 

Jaded by the whole day lecture and ruined by assignments

Soul-are 

Is my soul conscious at this time?

No further question marks in asking
as the query is itself the answer
tentative and playful statement
of intent of letting go solutions

Even though we shake vigorously like a spring leaf..
Just don’t grieve anymore and doubt less
We will be successful personally more or less

And evil endeavors won’t break us now

-Evocation-
The thunderous sound cut through the building
The deafening blast shaking its very foundation –

I jumped awake, in agonizing trepidation
And sat up in bed, my chest pounding.

There was calm, a surreal stillness.
I appraised my room’s mess

No Conclusions, THE PROCESS OF PAINTING ***

Not often between lines.
Crossing lanes.  Consuming spaces.
 Ordering gray shadows
Like shaded fog or misty traces —
In a measure of displaced displays
Of reality’s clarity 
In impressions or abstractions,
To emphasize...

     mental gears no longer appraised,
honored, nor prized
as a precision crafted tool
never adequately utilized,

With the Legal Degree
Looks back over years 
To pass judgement on me.
While he was getting drunk
In student Uni bars
I was uniformed and fighting
Our country’s various wars.

I stand freezing while our eyes gazed,
Your smile melt my frozen look down,
My world appears new: differently big,
Lacking raw tease in gay enthusiasm.

Smile
Differs

Reaching out for only pleasure seeking-
Smile.

Blessings meet,...

I often question why we are here
are we pieces to a bigger puzzle
why do we hide these questions from the world,
afraid of rejection, fear?

I often question what it's like to be mute,
