Long Brashness Poems

"White Noise and the Mother Load of Dark Matter" 

underneath the static
what exists 
is never seen nor heard

for what it truly is 
the eyes and mind 
retaliate in the deciphering

the invisible return 
each night and...

First week  of March  2025
Last  week of March
Melancholy Molly and her sister 
Dolly stopped by  for a chat with 
Eat  some pizza Polly

In his seething silence, I spoke, softly to him,
“Did I desire once to be higher than you, oh seething heart?
Could I, in my human flesh, sympathize for your imminent demise?
Cradling you in my sorrows, as...

An ordinary young man in his twenties
Working by day, alone by night
Routine lulls him to feel forever serene

Never a new dream or fantasy
Living an obligation
Making his parents proud yet nothing causes him to become too...

(For Competition 'And then I opened THAT door', sponsor- John Lawless)


My relationship had broken down, when love ran out of gas
so down life's dark and lonely road I dragged my sorry ass.
Could have done with...

A thousand tumbles takes a bottle in the sea-
a thousand tumbles and whirls and swoops.
A million grains of sand takes that bottle in the sea,
to break apart,
and fragment like a snowflake fractal.
How many waves carry...

Kept out
   kept out he was: muzzled and shut out
from mothering social approval
    and the usual conning courtesies

Kept shut
  Involuting in the hippo-lipped paranoïa
from the darling eyes of his...

Inner polarity sparks an echoic consciousness. 
Ecstasy magnetically undermines selflessness. 
Soundlessness indicates process stabilization. 
Every breath spawns inner veiled polarization.

Proceed forward, but remember those left behind. 
Your imperfections jostle you powerful and kind. 
Life is about seizing odds that fit...

Part Two

Till October comes around with its bounty
   The granary stuffed to the full
Lush fruits still pulpy and juicy
   Ripen to a filthy rashes on skin brashness
The greenness of innocence

How can I fetch what's inside me?
It's a mental scream I can see,
They had poured fear through my mind's crease,
Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.

There has been a real stage play,
Rumbling in the...

I gather you haven't heard?
What happened to the young girl with hopes and dreams?
She died along with puberty
But in her room above the highest floor
She will sit and wait... in silence
To hear the breaking of...

Hence no surprise... yes
recherché rhetorical flourish(es) impress,
yet mine deliberate vocabulist predilection,
I haint gonna stress

sieve jejune ennui pullulating Kudzu like
indecipherable haphazard gobbledygook mess
abhorrent brashness claptrap discouraging

Mechanical crocodile growling from his speaker
pennies from wishes cast out on his back
Children are breaking the rules as they're leaning
touching the fiberglass skin, gray and black.
Snakes moving, coiled in ceiling tree limbs
painted bright yellow and...

A seasonal malaise plasters 
stray tendrils of wayward thought.
Another dreary gray day hovers.

Vacant is the sky, as empty as the 
surface of an unwritten page.
On days such as these the mind strays
through the attic’s dusty...

Adversities halted this promising journey of mine...
wreaking much uneasiness and restlessness,
starting from zero is the demise of dreamers:
configuration can end in dissent and not shine
with the genial ideas that diverge from brashness,
and what could have...

In life, it is a give and take. 
However, for some it is just take and take. 
For others, it is only fulfilling to know
that something is different
because the Lord woke you this day,

For Craig's : Blue cheese and old pickles contest

15.03.2025
In the background the Ukraine War and Europe’s dilemma whether to rearm to defend itself or go to the table to discuss a peace treaty.

The odd codgers

Some people like to throw away
Things others consider a treasure
They simply are so ignorant
Of how it’s worth to measure

They think that because it’s old
It is ugly and outdated
That’s often how people feel
About the ones that...

Forest floor matted with the detritus of time;
Underworld denizens in their castles sublime.
Tight aerial ropes, loosely dangling from above,
A veritable paradise; proof of His Love.

Brilliant gems of the summer bedazzling our eyes;
Summer's regalia, like the...

Lone Wolf…
He is the irony unto his lonesome self
Thrust upon this world
A cub youngling
He absconds from family
In search of something else

The Lone Wolf…
A spirit found, a spirit lost
Travails path of storm and wind
Looking and seeking
The...

In with a bang out with a whimper
An American story reminiscent of old,
Brashness and vigor, street smart and temper,
Rising to greatness then collapsing stone-cold.

How could this happen in this day and age,
Have we not learned...

The sweetest vision
The tongue cannot taste
She secretly teases me
With amazement amazingly

Restraint, you see has no basis 
My heart traces her laces
Come unwound in the
Shade happiness has its way 

As GLADNESS of the day
Sunshine specialty will...

Warm, sticky hands palm off dry, self-centred ground,
Touched by gingerly acclaiming seeds of new-borns: 
Ready, willing and eager for the harsh, expecting role, 
Supposedly not with any crudeness, brashness or horns; 
As we sit in...

One of the keys to happiness is mental quietness
a perceptive covering that operates on all fellness
And shall not incite one's heart pound emptiness
Start by being enthralled, then settle into stillness
Flee out of bed. Your feathers...

Whenever beliefs are placed
above any worthless things
they affirm the essence of true ideals,
that sparked visions in people's minds.

Hold on those beliefs and assert feelings,
if brave men stand by them and resist
the menacing shouts of despairing...
