Long Blotch Poems

I haven't had enough, for this life's so rough 
My friend is right beside me and he truly understands 
Where I stand and I thoughtfully fiddle with my hands

Where the Creator is perceived to dwell.

Picture portraits of us together in the placid plantation of peacefulness that is lit with emotionally righteous wit
Pleasant sounds fill me up and thrill me…ascends my frown into a smile 
Going back to my roots...

You where the breath of my joy and heaven,
now you are my curse, blotch, and you delete the rainbow of my smile
Why so, woman of mud?

You where the fountain and rose of my heart,
now you’re...

Near small Rapid City,
a man came up to me,
said,”Hey, I’ll show you a good time.”
I thought that meant girls,
turns out, as things unfurled,
the man had something else in mind.

We went to a garage,
a rusty, grease-stained...

The pin oak leaves from dormant trees, 
fall on this crisp autumn morn,
as I paint the scene of an artist’s dream;
in my mind this landscapes born.
The patch work green is this valleys scene,
with broken squares...

Here I was when you were born

With tears in her heart, she bore you.

And now you became the black sheep, 

The rotten egg hard to crack.

 

You made pains in her heart

Accusation fingers dare point...

I hate salt for the sake of my cake
That is sodium-rich by the baker's mistake
And the syrup I poured
That I never ignored
Is more salty still
Then a fish with a sword

I like sugar and spice and...

Life is such, made of sunny warmth and rainy days
Life is such
A blotch on our minds

The sun slipped back his bag and yawned
A day for today was gone
And into the sea he took a plunge
Splashing the sky in colours
The stars arrived seconds later
They were scattered all across
They gossiped, talked and...

Burning wide black shaded eyes
squint,steal a blurred glimpse
and shut as stinging tears
mixed with facial muck smear

Gazing in the bathroom mirror
my eyes teared honey lime until my vision became clearer
and the world became visable 
sacred nightly...

Why do I create?
The simple answer involves
the complex mystery of 
creation~ the more knowable answer
is, I am lonely...needing something,
someone outside of myself
to bring back in, to hold close for to cherish
and love.

I would not write...

With her bright red eyes; yellowish tiny tail-tip,
Pale green wings; greenish yellow-glowing mantle strip; 
This golden Oriole has great tales to tell,
Her enchanting feature has great magical spell...

Yellow-orange chest; gray head; silvery slate back,
Bold white...

Inspired by Christian Schaffer’s YouTube travel videos

Rolling fogs and crashing waves
Add to memories one saves
Kissy breeze upon your face
Rumbling vibes, no home base

Raindrops on the pane’s glass
Colored clouds moving mass
Mesh of moss imperfect blotch
Tallest trees...

On a summer night when the moon was high
I rose from sweaty slumber deep.
What was it that made me sigh
And woke me from the depths of sleep?

Was it the sultry moonlit night
Which made my bedsheets...

The people cast their ballots;
And hopes are very high;
But the looks upon the Christian man;
Shows some worry in their eyes.

 The donkey has majority.
 And hopes to bring the fame
But the skeptics look to clouds...

I was haulin' a heavy load
Up the frog an' toad,
When down poured the pleasure an' pain
To my dismay.

To a good ol' gay an' hearty!

We live our life not thinking at all
of how one day you'll see it in a flash
right before your eyes all at once
now today you can sort it but be not rash

Think back when you...

The memories seem to gradually slip away, 
His footprints seem to slowly erase, 
My journey through life's maze, 
It seems to have clouded my memories of him. 

Indeed time could rewrite one’s story, 
Indeed time...

Behold the bounty
Of berserking bugs,
Whilst Barely not blinded
By the their bustled busts.
I, Bringer of Beatles,
Biting abroad,
Burrowing deep,
Biting a broad,
Bolder than brave,
But braver than most,
Have been this way long,
But no need to boast,
I am the scurrying,...

I lean up close to take a whiff

and skies of ruby reds sweet wine 
Engaged upon the breeze my touch

It was New Year Eve night,

and although kids were up
the only sound to be made was the drinking of cups.

They were filled with the hopes 
that fireworks might start,
so they could see that big beautiful...
