Long Bemusement Poems

 A sense of belonging 
Is amongst your nobility
Peaceably, truly longing
To give praise to You entirely

Take me all the way with your sway of youth
Give me physical poetry, please, beyond the truth
You are more priceless...

The sunshine and singing birds, awoke me that fine day;
And warmth caressed my face, as the wrens began to play.

I stretched luxuriantly in my bed, while smiling broadly,
At the gaiety of beautiful summer, in all...

I let this misery and dreariness grow because I was left without a single tulip-beauty trace
I didn't mean to take advantage of you...next time, I will a changed man 
Spiraling down all day and night...

skinny island rump
  highway seas churning the horizon under turbulent skies

Isolated in my overwhelming lonesomeness...left behind again and again and I’m...

Signs of the Times 

A dictator-ship sailing the seven seas
A night-birds song on the evenings breeze
An unorthodox relationship with anti-freeze
The heimleck manoeuvre over a piece of cheese

Nuclear undertones among armies of genetic clones
Spectacular telephones in...

Unbeknownst to me, WoodenMan enjoyed quite a cotillion of female admirers. With 
his rosewood
dimples barely lifted in permanent bemusement, women found him adorable, though 
decidedly eunuch.

 It all began the night I visited the local...

The things I've been, the things I have been, the things I am, things I'm to be,
a symbol so dark, a sign so brite, a mark of the heart,
shadow of the soul,
rind of mind,

Dear Fate,

I hate you. 
I detest you. 
I despise you.
I loathe you in ridicule. 
I reject you outright.
You are no good Fate. I am sure of it. 

Que sera, sera. 
Whatever will be, will be....

His parents didn't condone the viewing of 
The Twilight Zone. A bunch of silly nonsense, 
his dad would claim. What was Rod Serling's aim, 
writing and directing such fantasy induced flimflam? 

Much to my good...

When a celebration feels like a business dinner...
When you judge not the sin, but condemn the sinner...
When silence is deafening...
When you wish for an ending...
When every word is laced with disinterested contemptuous ire...
When everything you...

Circuitous circular departures cleverly Sequester and  
embrace Inexpressible  moments of time.

Reexamine status, prevent  consciousness apathy, 
fabricate and reflect acceptance of self. 

precisely propose  to expose fallaciously filtered 
fantastical trickery touched theories.

Turn tasteless translucent tall tales into stable,...

I can see your eyes are trained somewhere beyond my face,
though I can't bring myself to find their target.

and I was garbed in...

The Friday night pumpkin coach
That delivered you to my door,
Has come to whisk you home again,
To live, live your own life once more.

It could have been a fantasy,
You being here, so close to me.
There was...

Th' court room wuz his domain, bailiffin' wuz his profession!
No one dared hornswoggle him in that hallowed room.

A thought to dare-dancing 
in shadow-light dreaming.

Eyes wet with the unseen,
a forbidden gleening.
If only unforseen.

Within golden breast heaving, 
rib expanding in unison with destiny's
anatomy of anything.
 
Outlander girl, another world, love is scheming, 
there.
Pregnancy in...

Villanelle: Wander not into a land where the indigene’s indolent

Wander not into a land where the indigene’s indolent
Likely as not the country will be run by interlopers
Open-heartedness is often a cover for self-bemusement

The first signs...

BARKEEP REAP ANOTHER ROUND FOR THOSE ROSES

Came then the snow
When winter made its way to woe
Came then the cold
And beckoned beauty my eyes would behold

With a lapse of loneliness was I by bemusement bequeathed
Bemused by...

Out of Bounds!

Do you know when your sanity's out in 'left field?'
Are you still in the ballpark? Oh, heart, please get steeled!
Though the answers aren't pretty, the truth's there to seek!
It's when I feel the...

I love you,
that's not hard for me to say,
its not a prediction, or a reflection, it just is
a motion in my heart's ocean,
an ocean named Odyssey
a color called True For You,
I don't want to hide...

The ballast of our Thursday afternoon
in the countryside lays distilled in your face.
Yawning like a cow in pasture eating sweet grass
your words flatten the moment.
Having no capacity of knowing
what you might see in an endless...

Both love's and dream's astray

Pleasantly unaware

Death is making it's merry way

Unto my very own front door

Yet both sadly and unfortunately

To my bemusement and surprise

He never thought to break or lighten
the mood

With a knock , knock...

LOVE, LIFE AND HAPPINESS 


Oh how demurely does love begin for all to see
That we may ponder and worry about it so
And how tenuous it seems as it begins to grow
We wonder is it strong...
