Long Augurs Poems

"Love My Way"

Ghosts read the walls like braille in this place
it’s a macabre dance with the past and the petulant future
it romances them away from the let-it-be moments
on repeat heavenly tortured in the evermore never-give-up

Our cold crisp air augurs an early snow before Thanksgiving. I need to look for my warm fur-lined gloves. The snow tires are heaven knows where in our cluttered garage, but they must be searched...

Antiestablishmentarian inherent malevolent violence
wracks human species, a most brutish and nasty beast.

An embittered nihilistic teenager
grown haggard and old,
hence not surprisingly yours truly
crafts pseudo dystopian reasonable rhyme.

An evangelized atheistic adherent,
I aver evolutionary theory
posits prelapsarian Eden
of astonishing...

Ominous Foreboding Augurs...

Innocuously incubated kindled
imperceptible dire strait
restlessness like tinder
with pinterest Deutsche agitate
barreling like a freight
train running so much
faster than an eight
track uber twittering,

rumbling, quickening and inculcate
dissension among dissolute
rabble rousers, who
do obediently initiate
rank and file will...

The harbor is alive with prayers and expectations, 
fishing boats jostle, make ready for outward bound, 
crews on their mettle load tackle, check rigging, 
as nets are dragged on board, sailors determined 
to grapple with...

How oh Jehovah can they not know
the Woman Harlot of Mystery
to dine with Baal and teachings follow
has been exposed with her history
 
The teachings of pagans do endorse
promulgation of falsehood without remorse
consider not their celebrations...

The silky blue sky augurs a clear day 
Agile birds playfully gliding in the air 
Willowy weeds spread across the way 
Cool breeze circling as it blew my hair

Picturesque nature at its calmest 
In my...

Flow with the stream, merging to the river gone awry.
The vivid fantasy I'm invested in thwarting rhymes.
The woodland, as foreseen, had no limit to the sky.
Allow for beautiful breathing; I miss parts of my times.

Roman priests practiced divination
as a means of prophesying the future
they'd plunge a dagger into a temple dove
and eviscerate the living bird.
Then they'd examine the entrails,
especially their livers, for omens,
believing that the Gods would reveal what...

At peace midnight he blew his whistle
Down the street he walks alone
Followed behind by his own shadow
He makes the dark aware not to be lone. 
There he steered by the chromatic moonlight
And fight against those...

Much is said in cultivation,
Shallow words spent with seed.
Empty vows between the sheets,
‘Of course I love you baby.’
Toxic ailments of assurance,
Commitment breeds dependency.
This sepulchre I designed,
Where walls of doubt incessantly shrink.
A tomb which dims with...

In the chapel wherein he laid
His final moments here on earth,
Mirrored image of one’s boyhood
Stands he to claim his scabbard blade,
The chance to prove his manhood.
His mother chides him of his birth
Begs her the need...

Not every eyes closed is asleep, 
Not every vast sea is as deep
Believe not everything your eyes see 
The realness of most things is not as it seems 

Not every beautiful thing is good
Not everything...

These are the words that write themselves,
phrases struck in steel
and driven into me,
borne of tablature and burning,
speaking only of their silence
as Atlantis, lost in dark constancy,
might re-appear out of the sea
knowing, still unknown,
yet known to...

E—ach step we take, augurs calamity

Sing of smart finds, sing of clear poise;
Indulge that feel, indulge that thought;
Niche steady mind, niche clever choice;
Grace ever heals, grace designs lot;
Apply bold wit, apply firm face;
Peace of mind brings, peace of heart glows;
Opt...

I taste the air
around my lungs,
reaching for divinity


a lone sparrow
that carries 
a sacred missive,


in a perfect language


words that spoken together
stir hearts as one,
bringing all
to a place of knowledge
immovable 
but traveling fathoms,
only ever touching
on the profound
never

Postscripted beyond the signature of once thought; intermittent designs ~

Dispatched reasons amid these why's trying to so find

My Lover’s heartfelt tithing setting by my bedside looms.
For his comment undermining, gave a gift of Lily blooms,
but the bouquet ever blossoms off intoxicating fumes
and the blunder of my Lover unbeknownst becomes my doom….

Joys increase where hearts lie open
To the sun and reign,
Where Jack and Jill are King and Queen,
Diamonds or no.
Pharaoh and Caesar 
Must bow down
To the spade and to the plough.

Augurs of harvest utter
Words of life...
