Long Bleaker Poems

The last time you felt good, you played along with them, and they were fooled

I had a friend who was to me
 the very best a friend can be,
so loyal, warm and humorous,
a Cornish Celt to truly trust.

I see him now with smiling face, 
so strong and fit to...

Lament

Brooding days,
     Vanquished in the unconnected gloom,
            Shower frost,
Standing watch at dawn to pierce the morning
With an artic tempest,
Swirling ‘cross...

My answer wasn’t an answer at all, but a complimentary question,
“What’s it like to not be a twin?”

I bypassed the story of the grape jelly on mom’s new...

Like a stalking hoarse,

Have endured shrewd days and night,

Like the physician ampoule,

Ready on my skin to pour.

flights from ignorance left these 

Strawberry marks,

Eyes glued on the object
 
compelled to the hard brown wooden logs ...

their bodies were present but
their eyes were scanning a screen,
their faces devouring the blue light,
of the small machines in their hands-
they were nothing less than walking zombies.

they typed in caps and illegible words,
tapping continuously without...

POETIC DROPS OF NAKED MUSIC

Writing drops of poetry, writing drops of rhyme
Dripping, dripping so sublime
Hush and hear their words fall lightly to the ground
Drops of poetry with nary a sound

Nay, there are no sounds to...

Clouds of despair engulf me in a thorny shroud
As encircling flames flicker from their blackened edges
Rising up against grand columns of pent up agression
Their sharpened roots borne of my pores and soul.

These forceful gales of...

I once heard a girl on Maury call her so-called husband a “motivational speaker”. 
He pimped, cheated, and beat her.

Almost Christmas according to my calendar,
the stores are decorated and in a clamor;
snow falls in the frozen sky making days bleaker,
a beggar holds out his hand as people walk by.

In my church, red flowers and...

Grab that whimsey, don't wipe the blow.
The feeling, of fear, starts to grow
Creepy tendrils that dart around
In your head, they can't be bound

Unleash the power of your poetry,
That is what empowers the poet free.
Let it...

Think Again

I think of stuff all day
I think of stuff all night
Sometimes I think stupid
Sometimes I think bright
But I never think it wrong
Cos I am always right
At least that’s what the missus says
If we have...

A starlit sky brightened the night
With a northern wind blowing
Hear the rushing ripples flowing?
It awakened the glowing eve light.

At last the river tale unfolds its secrecy
Why do the waters thrill the seeker?
Risking whatever might seem...

Who are you when the mask has lost its stitches

How could the cost of the sun be so little

Vultures and ravens surround the sound of cultures and havens
Utopia turns to dystopia

The skies face turns so...

In pods, pale and emaciated-
muscles atrophied, 
they sit behind thick goggles
deflecting stroboscopic lights;
huge headsets droning weird sounds.

Each human in a private pod
lost in grounded bliss:

instant information, entertainment.

Touch of a...

He's reluctant to make friends,
and shows little or no trust 
in people who reach out
and smiling he pretends!

He doesn't follow those positive minds, 
every joke and laughter bothers him,
and seeing no humor in a silly...

You don’t know me,
but you know the sound of my horn
Bleak are the notes — 
even bleaker, when you hear those notes,
is the sound of your pain
When you step into my smoky, ocean side atmosphere,
you’re...

Once again, the trees speak
 in a soft and gentle whisper
 while subtly dancing in the wind.
Then as witness to my indifference
 it gusts a little louder, brushing branches
 releasing leaves upon my head.

The day has finally arrived, my eyes now drawn to see
Amidst her season of winter I view whats in front of me

Crimson red now seeps, where translucent pure did run
I'm starting to feel the worst,...
