Long Bluffed Poems

7/9/17

Getting stuck sucks
Call it tough luck
You must be nuts
I don't know you enough
So why would I just
Put very much trust
In someone that already bluffed
Over petty stuff

Mosquitoes and flies starting to buzz
A lot of sweat and...

Alienated by my past, because of my past
Carrying dark secrets across every bridge
I hide them under rocks
And I bury them in the dirt
With this bag of coal strapped to my back
While I trek and climb...

She sits at the lunch table with her good buddy
a Greek fellow with no english
she-a canadian with no Greek tongue-
they commune like there is no tomorrow
siding with each other
against
the staff who would wash them
clothe them
feed...

Life is like a burning candle                            
That continues...

It’s the morning of a different day—who knew there’d be another?
Lisa and I went on our harbor jog @ 5am—that’s nothing new.
It was, like 44°—we’re enjoying fall’s cold, refreshing bite.

Anyway, my mind wasn’t on it...

Prisoners were captured, their liberty were stolen 
Hopes were dangling, asking help to heaven
Dreams were their silent sanctuaries
The only one that keeps their sanities

Eyes were blindfolded, hands were handcuffed
Lies and deceptions, all of them were...

PEARLY GATES 

I’m brought before Saint Peter,
On display in a clear glass crate,
Nothing hidden up my sleeve,
Except a hammer, I jest to escape. 

He approaches me out of nowhere,
Ask him for a chat while we...

Look into the camera the mighty space man said.
Jon’s Cat was hypnotized, clobbered in the head.
We are taking over, honey, the alien said with a chuckle.
Jon’s Cat was mad. He wanted to give the guy...

When you are pushed back by your foes
When your very friends desert you,
When you have reached a dead end
And have nowhere to go;
Then spark off with a blast
That will destroy all humiliation -
And the world...

You think your life’s been hard
And nothing turns out right.
You say that love you thought was real
Often lasted just one night.
You say deceit was your reward
And you try to be so tough.
Yet, I see softness...

In that darkest of time at Charlottesville 
When hate ruffled their minds
And madness erupted in kind
But dumb Trump bluffed in haste,
Hate, hastes, I was dazed, 
As wicked drove on Heyer in sour taste!
Both sides he claims...

Goldie Locks
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
 
Goldie Locks
I did not know your name
You swayed  your hips
With small steps
As you pass me by
I did say hello to you
You did not answer 
You growled a little smart
And bluffed a...

Memories, like fine wine, sweeten with age;
cavalier ways, become less defiant.
And in life's book, tears saturate the page;
bemoaning times Hope was non-compliant.

I sense your pain, anxiety, and fear,
rattling the very foundations of trust.
And I catch...

The gap is so minutely thin,
Almost in his mouth is their fin;
A thin film of water divides,
Slides their line of touch and face hides...!

Mouth-water-wetting cat ponders,
His mind, in wings of thought, wanders;
Fish successfully gets him...

In a split second, life can be snuffed
Unforeseen events cause misery
Why this is so, ‘tis a great mystery
Of such our lives are suitably stuffed
None of us should ever be bluffed
Accidents are main features of history.

The dark rooms in one’s mind unlit, 
One is heading straight for a pit:
Will not take long the spot hit
While the injury just won’t fit!

Then, for dark rooms of the mind sit
As things about them...

(30/11/2013)

It was only white and blue in 
the sky
Then the soft grey starting to 
replace the white
Over the wind, the blue shooed by
Sun is glad, at home relaxing 
with the bright
The then-soft-grey is darker now
White...
