Long Bedpost Poems

How unparticular the day had particularly been,

On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,

For the caretaker at an historic Adirondack Inn,

Had lacked company, and therefore, dopamine.

 

‘Twas Sunday when all the guests had fled,

From either...

Back when the strange appeared uncommon, 
I knew I was just beginning 
To scratch the surface of the truth.
So I got myself a shovel.

As I dug deeper, I discovered my scent so jaded
As to not...

I have a paper due
Last Monday that isn’t quite out of the pen yet, and it’s laying on the desk like
A cancerous growth of my mind
Stress increased, end of the year rush
I can’t seem to...

He's infuriatingly...

pretty...

and I follow myself over his smile to find my eyes, promising uncertainty and chewing on
my bottom lip with the hunger that resides in...

He rolled me over and kissed my dreams, his mouth became...

2:01 pm
Cinnabon, California Pizza, Burger King
Let’s de-militarize the sea floor
So we can once again walk on the waters
Clear and still
2:05 pm

An infant reaches for its mother
Looking at the information monitor
“Passenger… you have a message waiting...

It was the last lap of highschool and a boy had dreams. He knew that half his life had been torn away from him but he postponed the pain and somehow thought the abundance of...

(lesson taught during the foggy night
of December 29th, 2018)

Right there on the driver side
front seat of locked car

I have been struggling with a faded thought
until my mind's become confused and tangled.
At a crossroad, this battle is being fought
between my stubborn brain and wounded heart.
I've great fear one of them will be strangled.

Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray.

What he’s capable of, I do admit, frightens me the most
My dread began in 2006, on TV his face did appear
The Burger King with the giant head is definitely morose

He lies in wait as you...

my life is frozen
and stuck in time
an endless torture
an endless rhyme
bloodstained bedsores
and lifetime slits
a world of chaos
and murderous skits
in a world that's mine
but in mind of my own
torture of gashes
bloodstained stone
beating the skin
and ripping the...

The night seemed lonely and the day seemed dreadful,
as I slept last night I felt the continuous fright,
when I fall asleep I seem to become more forgetful,
blackened...

You visit me in dreams…
Phantom of broken hearts, you materialize, 
With a seductive smile on your lips – 
And dagger blades in your liquid eyes…
Casanova of breathing corpses is what you are; 
You murder young...

On a day such as today
or any other numbered and limbered day
you may say to yourself that the birds are singing and the sky is blue.
It is you, however, who sing internal and ring eternal.

My racing brain doesn’t stop
It is fast, I wonder how long it will last
It moves in every direction,
Without any clear destination
It is past twelve
Maybe I will sleep at one
Tick tock, tick tock goes the clock

Standing near the front of the queue
The boy rehearses his lines
"Just three or four pints"
Over and over again in his head

Focussing on every step
That takes him to the inquisitor
Stray too far to the left or...

As chewing gum loses flavor
Stuck on the bedpost over night
As stale a romance not savored  
`Tis soon moved out of one’s own sight

One's life falls into the decayed
Through carnal mind's flip and floppy
Agape's attention...

Lemonade drips on her cracked freckled lips,
I was studying the way that she speaks,
Her tone got rough, like she's had enough,
she was tired of amusing the freaks.
Her eyes were aged like a sage in deep...

Are you thinking of another
While you're lying here with me
Is your mind out there cheating
wishing it were free
free to love another
while we lay here once again
Your body is here with me
But, your mind, it is...

NOT FOR CHILDREN

       It had been in the window for a week,
A bedroom display    with
Santa    in the sack    asleep,

I wrote a long beautiful poem
poetically and inspirational all the way
to my friend who grants me comfort
is there to listen to whatever I say

I have been in the dumps

Born of ancient, noble exultation.
A lotus among uncountable weeds.
Speaking the dwindling language
of a dying population.

Her blessings have been polluted
in the churn of Calcutta’s filthy streets.
Scorned for an unwavering quest  for love,
where the exchange of...

In the gray dawn, ghostlike,
A mist rises over the lake
Like a floating whisper.
My shorts and tee shirt 
Are damp and clammy
From hanging on the bedpost
Near the open window.
The dock is slippery, and
The yellow kayak slips
Soundlessly...

It is a beautiful sunset

The dusk of night slowly enters

This chilly winter night

It’s not about seeing
The moon rise splendid in the sky

Like a light of love high above
Shining warmth to the shivering bare branches

A SPIRACLE LEAP

The spiral staircase made her high heels sing.
Round and round, Suzette tapped a snazzy dance.
Her smile sparkling, ears dangling with butterfly wings.
Curves on fire, tights and a bodysuit, tighten his trance.

Her sugar cane...
