Long Bombards Poems

majesty
absence 
cacophony 

Meditation

10:38 PM
i fall asleep
too easy;
close my eyes
craving
the chance to bask
in your majesty 
and open them in some 
strange world 
where agony
and loathing
run amok
along weakly-lit
backstreets 
that smell of burning 
candy floss
and the putrid scent
of...

The last of me is drowning deep in agony 
A packaged denied arrest paints a felony 
Isn't it crazily funny?
We live together in harmony 

Whereas urgent attention couldn't rescue the saga
From this skillful kneel aga
Whose...

Pounding voices fill the air
	Anguished cries, 	
The sound of desperation
Rings loud and clear

It starts out slow
Yet, as the walls close in
And my chains tighten
The voices cry out louder
Until the agony of it bombards all my...

Abominable barrage bombards

Within the shard of dreams, we wander, with the wing of time,
Penetrated by the mystery and alchemy of existence,
The glitter of a lone star pierces through the darkness,
For us both, steering us through a clear...

Where will you be when the trumpet sounds

When the call comes with an 
amazing surprise
A shout is heard by all who leave 
these grounds
And all the dead and alive in Christ 
shall arise
How will you...

Yellow leaves fall
Harsh humid heat;
Earth gathers debris

~~~~~~~~~


Time runs away
Space now bereft;
A change of heart

~~~~~~~~~


Empty space
Nothing much here;
Going away present

~~~~~~~~~


Odd couple here
East meets West;
Lovely colours

~~~~~~~~~


Old lady sells
Daily newspapers;
Sidewalk news sermon

~~~~~~~~~


Humid hot day
Fiery sun bombards;
SPF29 still tans

Repenting Enduring Repeating

Lost in an abyss of thoughts
Disappointments oblivion brought.
Self-centered loathing caught.
This, instead of perfection sought.

Confusion instead of understanding –
Weariness instead of perkiness –
Paranoia instead of certainty –
This, instead of gladness sought.

Why?  I read...

What has no hands but grip 
Tight and squeezes out your courage?

What whispers warnings in your Ear and makes you lose all sanity?

What has no fangs yet bites down Hard and causes bravery to bleed?

It skips along carefree
But where is its comrades?
The golden guard watches down
Like a burning tyrant.
Hurried along toward the abyss
it descends into wooden warriors.
Familiar faces, now feared faces
For they stand incensed that their cover is blown.
Free...

I am armed and fighting my battle. I am bombarded
by disturbed thoughts running through my
mind. My mind is leashing out expressing itself
as an insane leader. I challenge any power 
I find along the way.

My battle...

DARK CLOUDS ARE ROLLING , TO MAKE MY DAY TERRIFIC,
NO NOT TERRIFIC, BUT TERRIBLE
RAIN POURS DOWN AND THE LGIHTING CRACKS
AS THE THUNDER ROLLS AND SHAKES ME UP 
GRAY SKIES FILL WITH FEARS AND TEARS
RATTLE MY...

I have awakened to an odd sort of place
A room unfamiliar, extravagant, and lace

A bed so grand and remarkably soft
A floor of wood and pictures aloft

A heavenly sent bombards my senses 
My guard is down...

Puppy Love

Month after month, but it feels like years!! 
My son has constantly pounded my ears 
He wants a dog, to love and look after 
But this family addition, would be a disaster

A conceptual mortar bombards my thought plain

My elusive Valentine didn’t visit once again
Day in and day out, heart wide open, taking strain
Candles, hearts, chocolates, poetry and prose
Another year, alone, forlorn, the absence of a rose

Messages of love and admiration stream to...

The time is obviously drawing near
When everyone must take a stand,
In fact, it is my only lingering fear
Lawlessness is overtaking our land.

I observe it spreading rampantly
The time is obviously drawing near,
News media bombards us constantly

Can't get too attached. 
For when I do, it all goes
Wrong. One of us gives up, 
And it just falls apart. 
Even though my heart is needy. 
I'll have to fight it for control.

a soul orbits 
looking into space
searching beyond
staring at 
an orange full
cold  moon
rising peacefully
into the sea of tranquility
floating air labored
softly gasping for breath
exploding stars
lights up
the sky

wrath of the sun's light
bombards this earth
explosive  fireworks 
pulsing...

Living the lap of luxury all that glitter isn’t gold
Whatever ‘retail therapy’ provides is not worth the soul
Compassion mixed with a dash of guilt thinking of the ‘have not’s
But it is not enough to stop...

As Freud describes humankind
With three divisions of the mind
Motivations now defined

Id is present from our birth
Driven by pleasures of the Earth
Wants and impulse, no self-worth

Balance, reason from the Ego
Deciding pleasures to forgo
Acting master of status...

As August day darkens with sunset

There are always those
Who cannot let go of the summer

The sail of the boat on Torch Lake
First a yellow flame
To the match of last sunray

Now
With the hills extinguishing last light
