Long Assembles Poems

I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed...

silent issues

humanity
and the hypocrisy
of soft tissues

openly
running out of paper rolls
secretly
disgrace on humanity's cheeks silently rolls

there's a monument
on earth
to the unknown soldier

there's a monument
in the firmaments
to the unknown child 

a well known secret

a hood by night...

Your mother didn't know how to make a child,
she triggered her nature. Mother nature knew,
and she knows and will always know 
how to turn a seed into a child.
Bit by bit assembles life,
under her ultimate...

The air is filled with love and peace
There is no darkness or sadness or grief
There is no need for worry – no police
The heart isn’t heavy – souls feel such relief

The light in the heavens...

See this girl in the painting, this skinny girl
working on a puzzle at the bottom of the stairs.
With big rimmed glasses and her plain brown hair,
she’s an ordinary girl, with nothing seeming special.

Now see this...

I gazed at the night sky above me watching the clouds rolling by, everything was quite around, and for the first time I had a glimpse of where destiny is bound. 

There is something magnificent...

All set for a journey of her own,
a lonesome soul, she lingers at the bridge.
That last glimpse, she dares not.
Fear wrenched wounded heart, 
her next step may grow unsteady.

Strange crossing it was, long and tough.
But...

From the chthonic chasm, I materialize in sarcophagus
Spectral filaments of the netherworld
Spiral in a maelstrom around my silhouette
Osseous structures fracture contort
I ascend from the fecund terra firma
A cadaverous marionette oscillates in a morbid gavotte
Sole rhapsodic...

A Propitiation of Blue Tears

On this highway to where the skies bleed blue tears into vases; 
on ornate buttresses they sit and saturate us, 
they cry and douse us,
they contract, expand, release….up from the bowels,...

The Director 

By Sy Roth 

 

The directors--  

For want of a nail 

They were not wanting 

 

So many nails,  

A cache of nails 

To drive into their coffins 

 

Paid in...

You might not remember; it was so long ago.
Our memories devise tricks to flush away pain.
But I walk here in the alleys of remorse
During the darkening final days of the year.

I seek to atone for...

Let us compose  a sonata that captures the essence of spring's repose.
With each note and chord, let nature's beauty unfold,
As we embark on a musical journey, untold.

Neighborhood

Dawn rises touching the hilltop - new light swelling with the smell of coffee and bacon.  Eyes blink away the sandman’s residue, loud yawns like lions, footsteps in pj’s resound on staircases – breakfast...

Time: the biggest landlord
At whose feet kings and queens bow
Cockiness and stubborn they can ill afford
When time wipes vanity and sagacity from their brow

In consonance with the mandate
Bestowed on time from on high
As no other...

Blistering drought assembles vacant sun stroke’s radiance
An empty solar ray’s destruction leaves waxing shadows of a doubt
Jennifer’s mental wheel chair is leaking slimy midnight oil
A candle burnt at both ends struggles like thundering whiplash
Metastases have...

Like an earthquake
With many trembles
The pain subsides
Gathers and assembles

It only currupts
I am losing sight
I wish she were here
So I could still fight

Soon I'll go blind
I'll no longer see
She's long gone
Yet right infront of me

If only...

The turning wheel of time 
stirs up the dust of disarray,
that settles in the crumbling cauldron
of disordered life of illusion.
In the maiming moments 
of disdained dejection,
truth tumbles in the mélange 
of disorientation chaos. 

Under the...

like Icarus choking on his wing’s wax
Phoenix too laden with ashes to rise
Sisyphus stoned by rock bottom
an Angel suffocating on its halo

the witch seeks to be a Fairy Queen
assembles the mirror of Self and
seeks solace...

A person is in love,
When he desires expectations,
And reflects on his vision,
He never expects someone may having fool,
That never has understanding.
Or never tried to understand,
Because he always was normal,
He never believed that a matter is...

In this valley of earth
the wind 
comes with the same gift 
the same solitary wind
that carries faith
without speaking 

with the same sightless purity
that sees everything
as it is
that causes the same quiver of branches
that have pulled...

Enamel finger-smeared thick with butter
Yellow onions, yellow butter, floured and browned
Just add cream
From roux to dream
Now spice to glue that hold my world together

The team assembles for its tasty mission
Cheddar, gouda, mozz and more
Thick sheets...

Dreams of playing in an orchestra

The morning comes slowly,
first with a faint glow growing
in the sky above the fence,
then lifting to prod the feet
of clouds as if to wake them 
and raise their rain heavy weight 
up off the horizon.
