Long Cassandra Poems

Sitting on the beach,
As dusk falls upon the end of shore,
I look at the lighthouse,
As I see a faint figure,
Looking beyond the sea.
She holds her chest,
As if she is holding a necklace.
She waits for her...

In a far, far corner of the galaxy

Of an entire solar system
Consisting of...

TROJAN HORSE

A decade long battle left them exhausted,
Squeezing mettle, dusky vigour fading,
Tired warriors, planning failing,
Dejected lay the war songs ashore!

Wisest of the mighty Greeks,
Amidst the crisis, Odysseus smiled,
The perplexed troops his voice then heard,
‘Retreat shall...

Alias indomitable invincible
Donald John Trump oozes wrath
inexorably plunging every species
of life toward apocalyptic warpath
mercilessly threatentens world
wide web promising bloodbath

hence... this call to arms gives run
for money challenging...

She knew  the destruction of...

burns bright; pounds at the gates, silenced. She says,
	"Keep Quiet, your words have power.

Tongues and ties will...

Can’t help but feel sorrow for all the people that will die

Too soon before, they’ll know...

Due to the great pollutions on the planet Protina
Which were caused by the hand of man
All forms of plant and animal life began to die

As they began to die, man, too,...

In response to Rudyard Kipling's poem, IF.

Unless I forget the past and think of the future;

I've always been a mellow
type of fellow
Laidback like dem seats
in that Cadillac
Yeah! Real chill like that
sleek '73 Deville
Even as a little boy
the jukebox was my toy
Sweet rhythms of life
abating all ills and strife
A manchild in...

Wednesday afternoon? I don’t remember
Technology---helper drives me crazy
Not a magic mirror you brought me
Yesterday afternoon? I don’t remember 
Seeing each other, both were smiling

“Does he feel what I feel?”
“I guess he feels”

The melodic tinkle of the music box moved her.
She arose with her pretty tresses and floor length silk
toward the shadows that possess treasures of death.
Like a grandfather clock with metal prongs and teeth
it plays a...

Here, where all things burn
When finally we learn how we could never be enough
These tears shed for the empty years
Such searing pain is all remembering

She sang a song of sorrow
