Long Blackens Poems

Looms all over the image of the hectic city
There’s the smell of mists and the taste of
Frozen rain gathered before dawn.
Pulses brake and start,
And lungs are besieged by distilled...

She kept it all inside her
and never spoke a word,
though her thoughts flew and darted
like a trapped and frantic bird.

Inside her was a garden
that was hung with Spanish moss,
like the massive oaks were weeping
to remind...

 worn with pain

venom of society and culture
With the flowers of right palm though a gesture of dance
in fact covers her tears
A story of blue tension and deep emotion...

Educated she is, in one of the finest school abroad
Through the blood and sweat of my innocent people
Now she is here to pursue her life’s real ambition
Aided by the shadow of her dearest loving father

Waving...

(Prelude)

A practicing hermit comes ‘board the train— 
"Faux Pas Degenerate’s the name."
The sundial dust of a spider 
on silken words retires; 
Easy now with walking 
‘fore the secret slips out: Desire.
 
"Paranoia: witch’s brew.

A Good Man,
He loves all children, both the troublemaker and the perfect ones.

Escaping from the patterns of my life
From crime and hate and inner strife
I visit a place that is pure and serene
Where i'm alone as a morning bird sings

I followed a path forged in stone

Reflections in the mirror increase resentment.
Tarnished heart pursues vengeful contentment
Disillusioned, you hide in fictitious make believe,
possessed by demons who purblind and deceive.
In your bogus twisted fabricated state of mind,

As the night blackens around her,chilling her to the bone
She all but dies within herself,knowing what she's lost
Misery tempting her to fly upon that path unknown
With gilded wings to scattered light,she knows what this will...

Swallowing tangled foxgloves of regret, I spiral.
Into a hays of...

Why I am so lost ?
How into this world, have I been tossed?
I don’t feel safety any more
The world is filling up with too much war
Thousands of people are dying everyday
I can see the dead...

With a swift brush of air upon the setting eve, 
Wanting it to be daylight then who shall deceive.
I ponder the day, which passed without reprieve.
Just another day come and gone for life’s display.

Love alone real; that’s the road we take
Non-judgmental eye, embraces each soul
Bliss throbs beat in our heart; we are awake
The divine elixir, makes us feel whole

Life a game of cricket; we bat and bowl
It’s easy...

Waiting for this wretched soul to rot
They redeemed me, tortured me, ceasing not 

Crows perch upon my severed breast
Picking at the insipid flesh 
Vultures of glee coo and ratify my rest

I can feel the slow sleep sitting
In a window made for slitting
Lullabys that have no morals
Tales of lies that seem so formal

Snow flakes falling on the glass wall
Melt before they can live at all.
Toxic waves...

Selfishness fills the soul with fear
Breaks the heart with a gentle tear
Ego evokes the nature’s lure
Peace with God is the only cure

Promising answers for life’s schemes
Breathless prayers right and...

The vague patrolling recollection
sits like a fat white swan on her nest,
cuddling the unborn nakedness, fragile, soundless!

He caresses her wings, 
she beats them frantically
