Long Bedfellow Poems

you don't like me...and that's ok
you need your comfort zone in tact
and so you keep away
passionately intense people
can make life a little messy
blood bath of emotions
on display
night or day
It's ok

Never thought you had it in...

Oh...and hello
to you, some hours past, I
returned from counseling,
(hence this boy yent -
     albeit beastie boy 
     figuratively basking
in fading afterglow)
great kickstarter session,

countless moments ago,
sans treatment plan,
she...

The sprout of momentary illusion, 
the voyage of a derelict dream in place of a lie,
the lure of April, the deceit of May concertized in December, 
in wintry snow, mocked, 
miscarriages of a well worn...

Yesterday my wife and boy passed on from this despicable scene.

Government uses foreign gov-loophole 
and harlots by proxies geo-fence by proximity.

no surprise there.

to complete your dossier profile picture,...

You just walked away 

An elevator happening by chance
Accidental meeting our old romance
An unconcerned casual hello
Said without much thought
My old bedfellow 

Diamond and a wedding cake today
Promises I didn't mean to break
Leaving u alone 
Between...

Sure this is just another snooker hall
dark with that familiar smell, smoky stale,
emerald green baize field of play, cue ball
pristine white, cushioned top and bottom rail,
looking around table chalked cue in hand
nerves on edge competent...

ANOTHER WAR 

To kill another man in the name of liberty
Is the rehashed creed of global greed
To some a country is free only if
It deserves to be 
No thought for the individual calamities
Visited on the...

He speaks for the uprooted.
A man of sorts, a twiggy Buddha.
He who interprets
the conferences of frogs,
the unpublished works
of kestrels and voles.

He’s an advocate for the underbelly
of a microbial heaven, for every kind
of uncouth animalcule.

Ancient is...

Noah welcomed his passengers aboard the ark two-by-twos,
For a trip ordained by God, a hundred and fifty day cruise.

The waters of the deep lifted them to towering...

My Modern Age Reality

The daily commute a daily grind
Bumper to bumper you will find
Asking “are you out of your mind”
Hoping to spot someone that is kind

To get where you’re...

I awake....alone
at times like this
it seems...
I'm forever alone
the bed is empty
no human form
I'm alone

Well, that's not completely true
I have a bedfellow
He keeps me awake
chases my dreams away.....
Mr Insomnia is attention mad
it's all about him
and that...

It seemed like
An innocent experiment
Simple enough
I had read the steps
Bedtime routine out of the way
I was ready to start

Relaxing tape playing for ambiance

With zero recollection of
The next thirty minutes
When I...

One's Shadowless Moment

That which we embrace
That which we shun
That which we serve

Assimilation

Man's strange bedfellow
Remaining often long in the wings
Allowing shadow-light to become constant
Inviting ghost-like impressions
Enjoin one's timeless opacity of reason

Edification reveals
Experience rejecting idleness
Determined to share
Clover-rich...

My dear Burgundy, I heard a purple, splendid tapping
Burgundy you color my heart, my soul
You, Oh!, so you said only this you’re in trappings red
I crave the crimson, cerulean canary yellow this I dread
And the...

notes on a colorless society…!?

today God anointed 
Earth with his tears
and crowned her 
with his rainbow
of love
unity and diversity…
as is the day’s light 
and the darkness of night
life, unity and pursuit of happiness is not...

I feel like there is a piece of my heart missing... but where did it go?

Wrenched out... with quick percision... a sharp stab...

Can I ever breathe again? 
Will this throbbing pain end? Or will it...

I watch time's faithful ebb and flow
scribed by the sun, moon, and starlight glow,
the silver sea's tiding ways
held fast in Luna's unseen stays.
No matter where disaster falls
steadfast they keep watch over all,
besieged by storms, betrayed...

Illustrious phallus!  Therein procreation, the urge for a bedfellow, 
To yearn for the delight and gnaw not bashfully, 
Seeking the unfound renascent song, faithful-song, 
Gross poems like lemon to the mouth, 
Seeing the wetness...

Woman Is Insulted,
By Challenging His Manhood;
Getting His Buddies To Rape,
Was His Way Of Reinforcing.

He, Not a Man,
Force Himself On a Feminist.
Give a Valid Reason While Rape.
Feminist Tempt Masculine

By Their Proactive Dressing.
Insubordination To Human Nature.
