Long Blips Poems

Three points of ionic invisibility, drawn off the charted map
Of realism or reality, the calibrated compass spins out of 
Control, then suddenly freezing at polar northern degree!
Within the gravitational shift, a rippling vibrational influxes 
Occurs,...

This poem is about life.
But, to consider the meaning of life, its value,
We need to understand how easy it is to lose, and what the stakes are;
What are the implications of the life we choose...

As I tried to pull her along with me and our eyes started adjusting to the darkness, 
we realized that she was not suffering from some sort of paralysis.  Instead, a pair 
of large...

How curious, remote, the pain seemed now
As a fly on the ceiling, she looked down
Her body below in a hospital gown

Incessant beeps emitted by machines
With blips and waves on their monitor screens
She tried to cry...

Looking back down upon the world from magnificent twilight skies
Makes me wonder if more could have come forth from my life
What is taken for granted is what impacts most on already burdened souls
I’ll beg, I’ll...

Dots and line and blips on a page. 
Squiggles. Dashes. Swirls. Short and long ones.
Some with loops. Others just plain plain. 
None meant anything to Charles. They never had.


He had gotten along fine in forty-six...

My intellect is what helps me.
I can jump into the purely rational space and deal. 

But it's very lonely. 
I lived like that for years at a time. 

And, we sometimes love an idealized version of someone, the...

Life is cheap,
My lifetime taught
At first I cared
I even fought
I railed against
The powers that be
And tugged my chain
Of liberty

The word is out:
We all succumb
The wise, the great
The deaf and dumb
We’re in for it
That final swing
You...

A laugh
can be more terrifying 
than a roar or a scream
in the wrong light,
In the long night,
Lunatic giggles
Idiot he-haws
Obscene chuckles 
When the quiet hour, the full moon time, 
Spreads its leathery wings
Jaw aching, teeth chattering,
Cruel...

Life was never meant to be a fairytale
But rather a copulation of incidents
That improves our knowledge base
By creating experiences to learn from

Life is more like a picnic
Good food, entertaining company
A soft blanket, sunshine and a...

Just sitting there mighty 
The ships and the people.
Flying American
Flags and the eagle.
Just sitting in harbor
That Sunday morn,
Oblivious to battle
And coming forlorn.

Drinking their coffee
And eating their breakfast
Things were going
Right along with their wishes
When suddenly a...

I often wonder, how life actually starts
Our earliest memories, like blips on a chart
As if someone, flicked a faulty switch
From flatline, to embryonic cosmic glitch

It’s all conjecture, you do actually exist 
Now there’s the rub,...

It’s so quiet now,
no more noise coming from upstairs
All of the background sounds
have faded into the mist
Radio silent dawn ... each morning — 
once rambling chatter now only dead air
Audio spikes of serene quietude,
	no more...

The stars are your maids and the sun, your veil.
You’re such a mirror of elegant reflection
where beauty peeps and marvels at itself.
Your body all round, always ask to be pet
all tissues sensually interlinked with mesmerizing...

HEART

My doctor diagnosed a heart murmur
“My heart does not murmur!” I said
My heart shouts for the lives of five kids,
for the joy of real love, for the turning of
this earth
The voice of my heart has...

Ever since Adam and Eve greeted the dawn of Creation,
Humankind has seen the tragic results of miscommunication!
They ate the forbidden fruit because of that crafty snake;
Now we suffer tribulation due to their mistake!

Infamous girl
you sank to a grave dug with a silver spoon
infamous girl
you drag your dress across an ill fated field lit by the moon

Lure you, comfort you, f-ck you, toss you

Sometimes

Sometimes
The silence can grow louder 
No
My heartbeat fills my head
The internal pounding resonating deeper
Now that everything has slowed down again
The flow of thoughts runs steadily on 
The rhythms matching closely to the early...

We are a Hartland kind of small town.
People are good folks here.
there's not a whole lot to do
but we work hard doing it.

Last year we hit a record
of two rapes and three murders.

Fight or flight happened again today
Don't know why or what to say 
Anger deep inside my mind
Not really seeing, feeling blind

So I went for a wander
To clear my head
Far over yonder
Here's what the voices said

There Were Kisses
By Franklin Price

When Barbara passed, it was a blur
I cannot remember all
Dani held her hand with me
When God made the final call

I thought I did not kiss her 
Did not touch her lips...
