Long Canopied Poems

Temporal incarnation of Aphrodite...

induces idyllic reverie
delight evoking similar surge,
when skirting, and eluding 
fidelity defining the marital law
on par with courting in flagrante delicto.

After reading about 
Greek goddess of love
fancy notion woke whereof
warmth suffused me
snug as...

Imagine with me
if you would be so kind
to assume each relationship with a tree
as iconic,
at least worth the sacred paper
humane scripture is written on
a timbered tree.

Imagine as a Tree
your Yin flowing out and down
nutritional ego's...

Parents
exercising totalitarian rights
to abuse and neglect WinWin family governance resolutions
for restoring peace with EarthJustice climates,
develop unfortunate children
perpetually longing
for their revengeful turn
at decompositional bat.

Families pulling through well-anchored weeds
of life's,
love's,
collected and too quickly grown redundant detritus,
hoping to...

The sky, a perfect empty canvas, offers clouds nonetheless. They shift and drift and beg interpretation. such is the nature of...

With canoe and hook of a jawbone
  below a great fish Maui snared,
and his brothers half-crazed behaving
  leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.
From Palliser Bay to Cape Reinga 
 (departing place of the...

Me beautiful, sweet Lady Jennifer
Ever I remain thy loyal Knight...

Sometimes I wake, at least believing I have, 
but find that I'm wandering about, 
perhaps dreaming while walking in a mist, 
through empty halls where moonlight 
doesn't stream through windows on walls.
I'm alone in lush...

LOCKED UP

Not an ordinary day in a garden where nature smiles at us, 
canopied with the blue sky, the flowers in their autumn beauty 
with the freshest hue. lulled by the infinite scent of nature,...

Hands folded prayer like to beseech thee 
   to abduct me with no cause to up braid
natural temptation found temptation commanding 
   from divine dada disobeyed
Earthbound Olympian of love,

My hands are clammy
as I try to unlock Uncle Nick's door,
he left me the imposing house
high on the hill as his heir,
the Victorian structure is gloomy,
and probably full of ghosts,
who will wake me up to...

Please help me forget
The stubborn nostalgia of a long'-gone ardor
What magical pill have me to get-
To ease up this cussed disorder?

Our sweet long-gone ardor of the days
Was as sweet as perfume of roses
And as enjoyable...

Our summer fellowships are over! We learned a lot - for instance - how summer’s a lot less fun when you’re hemmed-up, inside working. I mean, we preesh’d the clinical experience, the learning, and especially...

The trees bend now, nearly touch each other 
As they lean with age, over the roadway.
He glances up as he lifts the basket,
Every movement carefully taken;
There is no ease, no comfort in this rest.
Their trip...

Upon the rustic walls,
Laid a shadow, shadow too dry.
In the trees beyond, laid the carnelian of fall;
And I stroll away, into the vestige foliage ply.

In my little cabin,
many boring days had flown by,
but it was...

There is a solace in his silence, a servant of his solitudes,
As he comforts in compliance, a jester to the multitudes…
He stands alone a neophyte, struggling within his confines,
Actions that do excite, impugnable inhibition when...

I

The depth of steep, hellish ascent
darkness abides, the peak obscene.
cliffhanger of sweat, the creature bent
attempting to climb, make a dent.
No wind brushes away the hair in her eyes.
She recalls nothing of birdsong or sunrise.
A hunchback...

There was pretence in a brand new shoe,
It was telling about a play on the street tonight, 
And it was singing about life well being in me and you,
Coming against my own reality made ruins...

She was a grandmother, and my Mother.
Who cared for her grand-daughter, like no other.
Bought her new clothes, new shoes.
Mother never sang,"I'm too sick, or tired,"

She funded my daughter's swimming and tennis lessons.
They were not cheap,...

The sun is shinning and the breeze is a blow,
my table all white with lace in it's place and
tea cups in a row.

Fresh, red watermelon in tiny scoops with triangle cut orange
marmalade sandwiches lined in...

Dinosaurs, Dodos, Quaggas, Night Herons
 exist no more.
The roar of Lions, whinny of Zebras, bleat of Giraffes
And the hum of ostriches are all on the verge of demise.
The faith of the giant trees that canopied...

The forest had an eerie enchanted feeling.
His blade was itching to be slashing and reeling.
Vermouth stood his ground in this canopied ceiling.
Hearing the enemy in every whisper and dealing.

His men watched him carefully, at the...
