Long Beaconing Poems

I was skeptically listening 
to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;

An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.

But, I found...

My Chocolate Knight on a black stallion…
Riding into my desolate
Darken heart 
Decay

Galloping toward my disillusions, heartaches…
Radiating a hope of
Brighter
Days

I wait 
Breathlessly
Hearing the pounding of his presence...

Desiring
The reality of his nearness
Sensing the soothing comfort of his...

That moment
That perfect moment
Where time became eternal
I saw
I opened my blinded eyes and saw
The expanse of your soul

To reword
To match time stricken words to an eternal glimpse
Absurd

So, I write
I write without reason
Flowing with the ink...

In all honesty
I believe Love is actually blind
That she lost her road
And headed straight 
Into the mess, she lays in today
I hope we all find her, bathe her and clothe her
Cos she's really a mess...

That we are

And, that we are together
more than apart,

Rather than are not
and never were

Resourcing regeneration's universal promise
for growing unitarian integrity

Is not our hottest cultural question,
not our greatest social passion,
nor most profound academic topic
for therapeutic conversations,

Curious...

Passing a cemetery gate I walked in I could see all the epitaphs chronicling deaths,
The dates were all times and seasons and there were little graves for little babies,
Daisies mark children's resting places their small...

bafflingly

A dad he was to my man,
lost in a world of abuse.
Selling all he had in life,
to fund his addictions.

Digging flesh  from bone,
stabbing  bugs crawling wild.
Demons appear in torment,
beaconing him deeper.

A knife into...

The destined call in the inevitable word ‘come’
implanted in the inner ear precisely at a time
when the eyes open to the lighthouse light,
journey begins with waves behind the sight.

The noise mounts on a pitch very...

The dark eerie fog and glowing gaslights. She sits woefully. He is gone again tonight. Rumors whispers of the terror, as she holds on once again. Murder by night and a stirring muffin man. The...

I never have the right words to say..
It feels the people i look up to, look at me then look away..
Im not formal enough, nice enough..
just blunt and straight up in a world that's f**ked...

The torrential rain subsided 
As she peep through the dark mute street
With her heart socked in regrets
A decision has to be taken
Parenting the small angel alone is hard to chew 
The little angel smile at...

Proud pirate flag, peacock, pumpernickel pie,
Perfumed prairie pinwheels, paper two-ply.
Happy hanging homebody having healthy hi.
Heaving hitting heartfelt Harry hopping high.

Ballooning blissful blossoms beaconing blue Babe,
Luxurious lumberjack licking lemonade.
Merry mashing marshmallows mysteriously made.
Fine frolicking French frankfurters...

Along a distant path,
Rife with fog and and glimmers of plant life
A melodic sting slices through the heavy air.
The high notes almost pinch ones eardrums,
The low notes luring you to sleep.
Lines on a page forming...

Loves Event Horizons (Choka)

Wind that fills your sails.
Sea of madness causing swell.
What is in you that propels.
That surges beneath.
Urge of invisible reach.
Marionettes under string.

We, the puppet pawns.
Those who stand with faces drawn.
Pathetic, prophetic, long.
Beseiged, all...

My Home in The Glenn

 

Passing the glen walking a curving path

Following the red bird, skipping on strath

Trees bend with the winds beaconing

Their invitations to come into the forest

Tall and thick with shadows moving

With ghost...

Sometimes my mind feels lost in a maze
A place its been tracking back and forth for days
And days
The trails of time sit open wide,
But still i feel trapped in the events of my own mind

"Water is the gift of life,
That makes things grow just right

So full of energy and power,
Providing light to every home and tower

By itself it can cleanse,
Dirt or an original sin

Sometimes we find ourselves in hot...

You're touch...
You warm me with a fire unprecedented
Each touch a spark of ecstasy shooting within me
Your lips on mine pressing reverently making shivers cascade down my body

Your taste...
Chocolate...no strawberries...no candy...indescribable
You're intoxicating 
You remain on my...

The God has gifted in shower
With intensed innocence in you.
I behold you in awed silence,
For you promise ecstasy in me.
I connect my forehead on yours
In thanking the God for gifting you.
Moreso, it connects our sublime...

it's forbidden for me to love
yet thoughts light on me like a dove
with hell fire beaconing me to fly away
yet my soul welcomes sweet ideals to stay
don't go away; stay
in my arms
sway to songs

FROM DREAMS OF DREAMS OF THE SEA AND ME
   (FOR TONI M.)

Standing, staring seaward,
Sore eyes see the horizon resting content
On the frothing pillows of the beaconing sea;

Here I stand consumed in the web...

A distant dampness wrings the air.
A weight most profound presses chest
as indrawn breath holds silent;
in the stonehedge of overwhelming gloom.
So, the mighty have fallen 
auguries of a mortal doom.

Without missive,
bluestone bones, stanchions silhouette 
onto a...
