Long Breathing room Poems

I admit tubby distracted by a modeling
female physique when attempting to write,
an aching agony rips thru this son,
gripping with hard on – tight -
by Dickens constricting sensation,

who orbited the sun LX times
coon sitters himself heterosexual...

Buried in an avalanche you
might see on "Hoarders buried alive"
back and foreground
white sheet with limited pay per view,
nonetheless sky scraping heap

(Uriah not kid) nsync with a 'U'-
shaped tube anchored securely thru
solid wood - sporting
towering, leaning,...

Sometimes, it’s the hard times that blind me from the possible positive outcomes the future beholds…
But damn…sometimes it’s like I get so tired of always being let down, that looking forward to things is nothing...

This Dissembling Man...

Trod thru three
score orbitz with air
tight (hermetically sealed)
lid on his emotions bare
reft of evincing

concern and/or care
ring forever guarded against
incursions upon fragile as chinaware
psyche foregoing giving
healthy breathing room

never to dare
risk challenging discomfort zones

With the onset of years
erstwhile crazy ideas
abandoned with caution and dread
now crowd my mind
no peace I will find
till my conscience lies neatly in shreds

Conscience, out the way
there's hell to pay
for too long I've toed the...

I’m wild and I’m free, I look down and what do I see…

Ghostly bubbles rising from the bottom
of a once clear mountain pool
now devoid of life and vegetation.

I dive to double check and see if...

I am not asking for much during my moment
Just a little breathing room, let me vent
There are corrupt politicians, crooked cops, greasy palms
Honesty and truth for once is what I really want
I want to know...

Dexter John, baby calf was tuckered, he had been playing all day.
He laid down in the Kansas grass, brown enough to be harsh hay.
His fifteen-year-old human cousins picked him up without a peep.
Placed him in...

Blue Monarch Faerie had been vacationing in the Bahamas
So relaxed and pliable now, quite unlike her double mama’s. 
Just wait ‘til you get back, one said over her scratchy I-phone.
They are hovering near your mushroom,...

i seemingly slur
only a sigh
a maiden waiting

every rounded
syllable
diagrammed

breathing room
where worms roam
and angels fly

i pinch my own
cheeks, healthy
no blood rises

cherry juice
fills my eyes
when truth shouts

proverbial monkey
eyes, ears, mouth
covered

the fan spins
a pendulum swings
i ponder

honesty speaks
as snowy hair
from...

#13: Close One, & Cigars

To the accords of The Book of Life ... cheers,
loose ends of the created stoic string
crisscross a heedless sea of empty tears.
In the facade of guilt, all seems trifling.

Life returns to normal,
People head to work;
But below the surface,
Some surprises surely lurk:
  
Lots of detours on the roads,
Rivers scaling banks;
If your route is trouble-free,
You owe a debt of thanks.

Stranded passengers still wait,
Fighting or...

Human chain meant Starman ... breathing room trips,
H**** sapiens chose ... plus naught minus,

Con temporaries times, countdown it chills,

There's a breathing room looming 
Around me, vacantly alive but viscous;
Feeling the bitter dead breath
While grating still, fully motionless
Like a thick,pungent mound of darkness;
As the chill runs unto my raw bones...
Nothing satisfies its hideous plight
With...
