Long Ceding Poems

Let fortitude confront the raging beast
for wolfen corps from Hell have entered in. 
They surge in packs, savagely unleashed,
to mutilate the innocence within.
Let ev’ry child and mother of its name
be fodder for this apathetic rage.
Let...

For soon the rains of destiny will fall
as innocence capitulates its soul.
Aggression sealed your fears within a wall
to let disease and hunger take their toll.
Your rank-and-file dissolved into the night
with nary whisper echoing their names,
‘tis...

I knelt amidst the mountain's rise
        beneath the weeping opal skies
            there to measure Io's swoon

With cusped hands the Buddha sits silently under a fig tree 

His thoughts are flooded but drought has shriveled the fruit

He owns nothing but a ragged loincloth in absolute modesty

Scratches his dry skin and impermanence...

If no signal fires a mental wasteland blazing passion,
Angelic vibes are only found through third-eye action

You'll feel less discomfort if you're into the ideal aura 
Life is not naughtiness, disdain, nihilism, or oxymora

Be selfish, but...

Axed dent of circumstances
finds yours truly liberated,
whereby no obligatory constraints
obliges forcible adherence
synchronizing Circadian rhythm

forcibly linkedin within paradigm
minutely crafting, daisy chaining
involuntarily ceding cradle to grave
man made artificial construct
(dismissing one living away

off the gridlock)
co-opting every precious moment
comprising...

Undulate on burbling rivers rushing to meet sea,
Buoying spring’s hilarity, ceding to summer’s plea;
Marvel on wings of autumn as falling colors spree,
Rejoice pristine snowflakes adulating winter’s glee;

Waltz with every season strumming life’s themes,
On mountains, in...

Here on the cusp of all things, is where I succumb 
Ceding my stuff blindly, toward oblivion and none 
Unwilling to persevere, without a modicum of fun 
Listing in perpetual stasis, til the spasm’s undone...

People loathe living in a filthy place.
Earth is a prone quagmire, for instance.
The legal maze hides some awful truth.
Painful to steer race and migrant sooth.

Ingenious ideas that people have evolved
Amid a verbal storm, feelings were...

Life's course is ever-changing on our earthly journey in the sun
You place youngiest ones in the rear so family can protect them on the run
As the speed we move increases through the curves and down...

If no longer could I inscribe, upon tapestries of rosy skies,
Dreams tinted violet, blossomed in themes amethystine,
And no longer could I weave-in the dreamscapes of life,
Failing to decode the missives of your clandestine smile;

If bluebells,...

our God is bountiful because


Jesus is Robin Hood turning the tables in the forest temple

‘you can be a pirate as long as you don’t turn...

I was there when love became you.
It spread across your eyes and smile,
left a breathless caressing hue 
and whisper of softest beguile.

Aching for your gentle embrace,
yearning for the pulsing heartbeat
that your touch fetches with its...

Snap chat anonymity, snap chat animosity at life’s inequality and fragility,
Hash tag helpless, hash tag hate,
Snap chat mediocrity, anesthetize against the allure of failure,
Shiver and quiver or seethe at group judgment or insanity.

Manoeuvring through purplish cerulean azure
'Til she touched the empyrean Zion
Perching above the whinstone during cockcrow
Possessing allured ala line with grandiosity and passion
Dressed like a virgin woman from ABOVE
Divine messenger? A cherub?
" NO " - An...

Hoodwinked I blinked, and the magician winked.
In a flash, the feint of hand trick had worked.
My eyes diverted, led by the nose to look away diverted by hand gesture. 
Eye beguiled to follow where the...

Oh! how gracefully the trees, flaunting splendor lilt
Swaying autumn’s palettes in rhythms of winds ruby 

As the sun is setting, flaming glow of gamboge skies
Amber breeze is blushing rosy glimmer of eventide
And robins are excavating...

It's always been an uncanny pleasure of mine, 
To behold the tetchy affair that thrives between
A gregarious man and his choice crimson wine; 
For each loves and loathes in equaled measure. 

How both meticulously give...

reveries mine -
boat careless moored by less
than hope in an arboured cove
I hide in a saline shadow
pebble-dashed
by a wild tide
whispering..

rippled raw
by the repeated ebb and flow
of your once perfect possession
I tremble at the dark hour's...

When honeycomb started dripping,
he stopped eating and climbed a sand dune
for the last journey.Pall-bearers were ready
for blunt futurism ceding to a deliberate defeat.

Hunger was his turbulent empire, resting
his hands on the shoulders of rocked time

Sculpting tinges periwinkle, eventide paints on arc of ruby skies,
Sunset dreams of freezing eve, longing warmth of moonrise;
As realms gelid waltz, where light-beams with shadows dance,
Shuddering boughs, quivering vistas, swaying barren expanse.

Prairies frozen glimmer, resplendence...
