Long Becalms Poems

I am Saul, beset, besieged, afraid to face the war
Without the latent singing of my natal star
Exposed. Fiends and witches medium know alone
To bring up a spirit or read the scattered bone
But those dark, heinous...

Automobile prohibitive maintenance costs
pitches me pitifully begging for alms
lamenting dog forsaken
melon collie unpleasant circumstances
pleading with outstretched palms
disgraced to beg, perhaps donate
major organ and/or entire body

to ease vehicular qualms
aha... methinks the missus could pose
as ventriloquist after...

So great the span of her intent

you usher me
with the allure of your muse
on drafts of featherless wings
through the breadth of night's air
away in the distance of dreams

Beautiful, breathless, bloods
Brave, bold beings…
Bringing bounteous buds
Blossoms, blooming birthrights
Beneath blazing baby bluebloods…

Bliss, bolstering, breathtaking 
Bushes, burying broken beacons

Beaming benevolence, baffling
Beneath balance, becalms…

Beginning bestsellers, bonded bylines
Birthing banter, bawling behind-the-scenes
Brilliance - by-no-means!
