Long Bloodier Poems

This is a tale of ancient times
And a knight of valiant heraldry
Who followed true his knightly code,
The weight of righteousness his load,
All sheathed in heaven's grace he rode,
And practiced naught save chivalry.

From the Pope a...

Your Rain was tears on my window pane -
the first poem of yours I had seen -
pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse,
grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought mediocre. Bad omen for you.
You who...

It was a hot June./  Late afternoon./  I stormed into that saloon / like a 30 men 
platoon!/  The bartender says, "Gentlemen not in here." /  I smiled and said, "Old...

What does innocence cost, you ask?
    It seems it's just a grand,
        For I know a girl who had hers sold

I was born in the odds, 
I lived through it,
dotted the lines on my path
I was born among hyenas, 
these scrambling to stiffen the last breath, 
Amidst hurts and hate first from home,

A lot cast...

I just want to rhyme and have fun
Look at everything I bounced back from
Going back to write about every path I crashed on
Orgasmic flow, so when my pen touches the paper, my pad comes
We all...

I am pen pals with the reaper and although he never writes back he’s my closest friend. I write him daily though not through the words of a young man but rather through the pain...

Storms glistening sporadically
Inspiration wavering dramatically
I can’t move like I should!
I am fighting against the reveling, reviling flood
Evidence of many spawning deaths cannot stop me
And the zombie maggots grow as they are left rotting
I can’t stop...

Oh bloody and evil Catherine de Medici.
The queen has acted impetuously.
Thousands have died because of her demands.
Witness her red bloodstained hands.

A wedding is a time of joy and jubilation.
Instead, there is death and devastation.
She thought...

Everyone agrees that war is cruel
Everyone agrees that war is suicidal
Everyone agrees that war brings mortar, anger
Hunger, pain, suffering, death, horror and terror
But a nuclear war is deadlier, nastier and bloodier
More painful, more criminal, more...

Once upon a time we were falling in love
Now you look down from up above
Once I was as free as a dove

Now I sit alone in this dark conner
Friends turned to strangers, loner 
My heart...

now captive of the Internet
a junta's brutality is beset
captured for the world to see
the batoned beating of democracy

North East Africa, it can't be claimed
to solely fill this role of shame
but now viral bits are flying...

In the beginning this boat was bare, 
Greenest with infant's sinless stare; 
Before soles more selfish than sane
Had trodden its dreary derelict main. 

First to blacken its still-tiptop form 
Were kith and kin as is...

The world getting hungrier
Times getting uglier 
And bloodier
Compared to animals, have people always been nuttier?

Needs growing
And greed showing
Far from easy going
Regardless of what you read and are knowing
Better keep going

Above and underneath the counter
The pursuit...

Standing that morning at that Lexington field
Not knowing what drama the day would yet yield

When off to my right rang the shot of a gun
I knew that this dreaded war had just begun

No one knowing...

Do you know, static clocks move faster than moving clocks?

Do you know, silence is not the best response to a fool?

Do you know, a man is also a woman?

Do you know, snakes don't  like...
