Long Arduously Poems

Lost dexterity since fingers tap away at qwerty keyboard...

since being a student in grade, junior and high school
analogous to geometry proof how lack of use proves
quite aware that finger muscles atrophied
veering off on a tangent...

It is like a drunk
or addict reaching that 'so called' stopping off point. That point
where one can't imagine life with or without the fix. Writing is like that.
Obsessive, progressive, addictive. A fix. Scribes need it...

The year is almost over. 
And I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with that notion. 
It’s just another trip around the Sun for some semi self-aware 
monkeys that can’t get a grip on...

Maybe this can't be saved.

One more short year and I'll never see her again. I'll always be wondering about 
her but it's better left that way. Never been able to face the truth. Even now.

You suddenly appeared to me Jesus.
You were sitting in the lotus position
in your raiment of colorful robes. . .levitating.
Your wavy long locks had turned grey.
You did not speak to me, you just
looked at me with...

Brainstorming (For Me) Generates "Writer's Block"

Lesson obstruction,
     but more so an over
     whelming flood of ideas
     makes dredging, conceiving
than giving birth
to an amenable...

Time was, when I had far less miles and fewer oil changes, I had a mindset that there was a right and wrong to everything.  No gray, no pink, no whatever.  Serious thought...

For the longest time, I could not speak your name.
I could not write it; I could not bear to think it. 

I was angry.

I was too young, too vulnerable, too powerless.
There was no justice for...

Waiting. The minutes groan arduously.
Somehow, perhaps – my heart fails to beat
with the rush of your momentary attention.
Perched precariously on spikes
Flesh colored, yet artificial – 
Manikin fingers, fidgeting.
Mournfully drenched in factious apology.
Our eyes meet briefly,...

What is fear?
It clutches and binds you;
Its clinch constricts your conscience and gestures.
It degrades and damages you;
Its triumph abolishes your own proficiency to prosper.
It stops and holds you;
Its impeccable knack of holding you still is...

"My arrangements with destiny weren't arduously demanding or beclouded with nit-picking details, so I merely ask for a day, any day, pick a day, and then for the year, give me a year, pick a...

Feeling exhausted
by addiction to integrity.

But, prefer this sad loved addict
to being self-indicted
for lack of win/win integrity;
total investment 
in lose/lose nihilistic
fascistic disintegrity,
disintegration.

Addiction to dicked down
synergetic passion
seems a healthier prospect
than apartheid alienation,
chaotic degeneration

Rather than this more positive...

I have walked miles on efficient spaces,
Have burnt myself in three Summers;
And also got frozen thrice under icy Winters,
Ooh…! I am an old man now;
Ageing to last for 36 months and still breathing.
But a reluctant...

When I had to take a special car back to Liverpool
Through the speedily running windows, on the rolling hills
The Yellow Acacia continued to flash before my eyes
Like the joyful lights beating beside the road in...

Mystified in the labyrinth of time, 
dug in the desolate desert of deprivation,
one doesn’t discern in the psychic space 
what in the nebulous abstract notion 
the rationale of living the moments,
people of speculative perception
define as...

Someone stuck in the tunnel  
dug in the desolate desert of deprivation,
doesn’t know what conceived in notion 
constitutes the rationale of the thing
people of perception define 
as the art of living, etched by elusive...

Sinking feeling springs eternal...
courtesy sucker punched by vehicular travails

Truckload of banshees muffled
as more'n yours truly wails
he feels wheely tired
as one after another

troublesome impish of the

scarier than Stephen

 Spiritual promises of pacifist mediation, connecting our soul – timeless hope, appreciation
Light of the world, luminosity glow— Heavens majestic rainbow

Cataclysmic Lovers Spirit,


Love, lover, you arrive and tame the wild spirit inside,
Set the pace, it slows to a walk to observe and feel and look and notice,
Drops of dew on a rose petal,
Pink sunsets sets,...

Enhanted arrows fly arduously
Raining from snow-capped mountains
Upon gory and blood glistening tundra
The war ravages the cold north
Where hearts far more frigid
Do battle with the inhumanity within
Out here in the cold purity is lost
Men become boys...

Somewhere in the wind
Rattling the song “Buzzy empty lane”
Hovering the small settlements
With so many loves and romances

The shady banyan tree
Exuding the cool shade
And the flower-laden milkwood 
Infusing the night 
With heavenly fragrance

passersby
Oh, passerby who would...

VOICES RISE FROM DUST 

The uphill path rigorous and arduously rough, 
obsessed fervor’s effort to climb the mountain,
in aspiring life’s progression agonizingly tough,
drove me unimpeded for sky of success to attain.

Above the blaring stratum of...

There’s two sides to every story 
A little bit of pain and a little bit of glory
Love and hate become so often entwined
Wrapping so tightly the heart that they bind

There’s two parts in every duet
