Long Blackout Poems

Glory to thermodynamics in general...

and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly 
spoiled with trappings 
of Western Civilization.

How ideal I imagine 
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated

Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care
Is anyone there 
Enjoy this life 
Pop open a Sprite 
Roll over to the right and kiss my wife 
She's fast asleep
Daylight is trynna come 
It's trynna creep 
When she...

In the dog days of summer, with the hot sun overhead.

We would all go for a swim, and then have a fine lunch,

and spoils of Western Civilization.

Thrum of the central heater...
manually activated upon advent of twilight
(since yours truly not resident within "smart home"),
nevertheless warm cockles and muscles
appreciate basking, and luxuriating,
within climate controlled environment,
whether bone chilling deep freeze...

Inevitable death defines afterlife - deux

Flinty stones figuratively rolling inside
whooping out that primal 
binaural beat of your drum
ma mind haphazardly 
ricocheting axon to neuron
inducing inxs of chaos 
wreaking entropy beheld 
by beauty and the beast
enveloping...

Ghostly spirits from deadly arsenal spell haunting annihilation

With mighty mouse and Hercules height 
tried to retrieve sanity spread loose;
a faded unpleasant memory - even enlisting
decades old cartoon characters: 
Natasha squirrel and Bullwinkle moose

While we walked home from the movies, one moonlit starry night,
My friends and I talked and laughed, enjoying summer's delights.

It’s past 2 am again, 
And there's an itch in my chest, 
Not for sleep, not for peace,
but for complete numbness.
I don’t know how long i’ve been lying here,
scrolling, staring, spiraling,
begging my thoughts to stop...

I swing into action
Armed with wine 
The spirit willing, really for anything
Watch the Drama

Fire in my eye, dry throat, cracking lip
I stammer a little, with Socratic confidence 
I am stinking of words, ammunition from hell

From England's dark blackout
We came to these shores
I and my siblings
In refuge from war.
How enchanted we were
With all we saw.

First Sydney's fine harbour
And her bridge of one span
Then the azure blue sea
The long beaches of...

I`m your lover before the world start turning back.

A horrible crime

It was a loss of innocence

Nobody heard my voice

Some thing's wrong I cant even fight.

I thought I was going to die,

so heavily drugged I couldn't...

Might I please present myself as a prologue to death
Because unless I am terribly wrong…….
