Long Astoundingly Poems

Fall tumbles relentlessly on our door steps
young winter birds inducing provoking sounds scamper in trees 
Watching winter crawling slowly under our feet.

The night rain wet the ground with sadness 
washing  away the environmental stench

I stand erect with outstretched hand Representing liberty, for many, a foreign land My fire dances an incessant jubilant glow
I represent hope for the oppressed to sow

 Pungent salts mixed with glassy sands

To Usher In The Inevitable

It was to be moments never thought to be
Moments to only belong in dreams
Darkness too dark to come before humanities to see
Minds in paranoia is ever to seem…

I knew that dreams...

In the land of Eden,
In the land of Nod.
I once was a man,
That had a plot.
The black eye derived from fratricide,
Reprised in time despite;
the denies of delight.
Fight or flight, Its just not right;
To take your...

I have breathed you in it seems a lifetime of times, correlated in seconds becoming rarer.
Each shorter than the last, each with more adoration as i exhale every molecule of trial and error.
My cup artlessly...

AN UNFORGETTABLE EVE WHEN THE WIND OPTED TO  BLOW

You know not why you're now here, 
just that you are bound by fear- 
(and a couple incised wires) 
watching me, enticed with pliers.

you can't move, although you're trying. 
All stretched out, upon your stomach, 
odors...

'Twas an ominous moment when rode into town
To its marshal defy and outdraw and gun down
A notorious, murderous varmint named Slade 
Who had widows and orphans throughout the west made.

The next morning, as destined, they...

Laying in the bed beside you, early morning light, 
cascades into the window banishing all signs of 
night,

your sleeping frame presents to me an appetizing 
sight, I'll wake you up as only I can do,...

Although I am raising a tapir,
I don't know since when.

I don't know 
where he came from or how I wound up in raising him;
I am raising him only because he is there by my side....

Its a strange habit
To the muse of my delusions, I set traps for myself
Walk straight without any intention of looking back
I envision a dream and emulate the living presence which entices me
With words, with slurs,...

Systemic trauma
may be a more inclusive
and challenging
way of saying:

Systemic racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism, discrimination, prejudice, bigotry,
avoiding fear
then anger aggressively approaching

A TELEPHONIC TONIC

I can’t believe she remained on the telephone~
For years she’d been telling me to leave her alone~
But my heart had done the dialing while I could hardly speak~

Windchimes

In my advancing years
Clarity eludes me now and then.
I sit quietly in the gazebo.
Your book and glasses
not yet removed from your seat.
Drifting into sleep
I awaken suddenly.
with confusion reigning again.

I quietly call your name
The need to...

Every darkness has its dwelling
Yearning for ends with no more the beginning

I am a stranger no one stays near
I took a sip of reality
And I question my very own...

A liberal mind for love
seeks Earth's nurturing nest origins
astoundingly opportune for producing healthy ego-nutritional eggs.

A conservative risk taker,
faced with ego's opportunity
to fly away from mortal risk
to autonomous long-term, or at least short-term, self survival
or fight...

Rhymes of limes and coppers dew,
Chimes the lines on paper that blew.

Fleeing a sprite of the thriving night,
Eats upon the core, dimming the light.

She glides slowly to the plummeting falls,
Leaving behind her regrets she never...

This amazing truth blows the mind
the eternal God who created everything
speaks here personally to His prophet

for He formed us in the womb
but scripture...
