Long Asymmetrical Poems

It is an unseasonable March day.
My kitchen blinds are drawn against morning sun,
their slender slats like new skin protecting the body's vital organs;
eyelids before this rose-covered tablecloth as though the blooms
are the pale larvae of...

It was just another Saturday night,
wasn't with nobody
My pockets were full
and my heart was on call
I was dressed to the nines,
and my hair was laid just fine
when I stepped into the 
Coats-For-Kids charity ball
I made...

I’m taking control of this physical presence of mine, this breaking ship;
pulling it down forcefully to the bottom of this god forsaken sea,
allowing it to be destroyed by nature once and for all.
I’m restoring it,

An essence heard a heartfelt plea
meek, unconfident, not familiar
"Should I bother anymore? Please guide me."
His words hardly mist....
a response slices the scene
     with the speed of a guillotine.

skittering over the asymmetrical

You can't imagine what it's like to march on a sacred city,
to plunder and pulverize a Peoples' physical promise to a Deity,
demolishing centuries of lavish labor,
wasting offspring of ancient heredity, 
destroying flesh, scripture and stone

His seesaw
Unjust
Asymmetrical
Rocky terrain
Never level
Inequitable
Divergent existence
In his kingdom
He holds all
The power
Reigning over her
Exerting his
Diabolical supremacy
To tighten the chains
Around this slave 
Even tighter to ensure
That he always keeps
Her blind to his deception

With intense 
Prodigality
She showered him
With so...

Weightless, we lift up like a bubble,
softly, smoothly, so seamlessly
that motion could go unnoticed 
with closed eyes.
Wide awake,
grass blades fade
into one asymmetrical green block.
Evergreen tree tops sway as a forest wave
and we wave like celebrities
at...

It’s unfortunate that we are living past the age of romanticism. It’s as if in our busy lives we don’t have time to make time to let moments intertwine. We are workaholics and hedonist who...

As I stood, night half fell in the car park,
Stuck between twilight and sheer dark,
Suicidal on the ledge of near dark,
And I touched the fire-station wall.

In the quiet empty void of a slow chill,
Like the...

My sister and I are identical twins.
For years we had no identity, no name.
We were the twins or the Stone Twins or one of the twins.
It was our normal.

But our friends soon realized
Although we have...

Life and Death in two separated clusters, Klimt draws conflicts.
The serenity of his cycle of life is bright in pure color, he depicts.
A modern dance of death, yet he offers pause in what is inevitably...

Asymmetrical Cultural Warfare

Both people and traditional cultures value symmetry;
In humans it indicates healthy genes,
In Cultures it’s probably the same,
Indicating balanced and enduring values.

The modern world offers an exception to...

Skimming through paragraphs,
I seem to stretch time and shrink my attention 
Underlining words I can't grasp
With my limited span of concentration,
Creating art I can't explain 
Stick men and asymmetrical shapes, 
Spiralling into mazes and dotted...

I could speak of the meaning of love and make its vitals food for words but that

The fading ancient sun casts long shadows before me,
as I shuffle slowly and sluggishly down asymmetrical lanes.
How age mellows me like ripe watermelon, squeezing me
until all my ambrosial juices run acidulously dry as dust.
 
Unsatisfied...

Marmalade Over Butter

All things are the same
the longer you look
Like rhythms at first distinct
like things with reference 
like the asymmetrical, the unequal, 
slowly melding
like mountains eroding under waves
forgotten, but not in a bad way
All things...

I’m not interested in ‘pretty',
The television fantasy of reality,
Boxed up and bow-tied.
That pre-packaged, overpriced 
Slice of life
Bought and sold by the pound
Of flesh,
That one-size-fits-all 
(Except you)
Kind of beauty.
Give me flaws and faults,
Hills and valleys, 
A...

Justice of a beautiful woman is that of a model.
She may just be a Christian whore.
In five inches high hills, she does the Catwalk.
Her asymmetrical body spins in Prada blend.
She smiles and saunters entertainingly.
