Long Chloroform Poems

 Continued from Part 1 

The forgery of Multitudes between the Silhouettes
(and discarded cigarettes,
neath the haunted parapets)
mock my lonely echoed steps
         – mock my lonely echoed steps...

“When Hell Freezes Over”



He said, “One last kiss for my soul?”
as he lay supine life spilling onto his Last Sunset Road.

The sun had set long long ago.
She lent down, whispered in his ear
Cherry Ripe Red...

Rainbow Surplus suppressing it’s limelight on the wonders of thy guillotine. Eat a planet with betadine. Horoscopes orders. The empire shines bright on double d’s. Who’s to say Peter hasn’t squandered his own stability? It’s...

He wanders through the neon nights, an artist out of place,
Unfit for this life tethered by chains, this era devoid of grace.
A time of empty haste, progress but an illusory facade,
A life starving for life,...

What a year to be alive to see poetry still thrives

Want some new readers?

He is amped up excited
Very eager and ready
No shaking this time
His hands they are steady

His next victims he's found
Quickly and urgent
So quick with his ok plan
This time it felt perfect

A need to get it done
So...

I'm an ashen dove, 
fading in zephyr 
of wine valleys, 
saturating in fog 
upon enchanting hills, 
draped in 
grape-green silk, 
where fantasies of forest, 
sprout cynthia moon 
of a bygone 
medieval saga, 
amidst heavenly 
eventides,...

I took it all for granted. The sky, the stars, the wind, 
the flowers, the grass, the trees.
I expected to see my friends every day, 
it was boring, dull, humdrum, if you please.
In my mediocre...

He protected her from all the dinosaurs
Gave her the safety no one ever gave 
They shot him, hunted him 
With not even a consider
That she loved him, thanked him 
Saw the most beautiful scene 
No...

School days
 
The elastic energy of my ears were increasing 
When the teacher was pulling my ears
This was connected later to the earth
When I was doing up and down touching my ears

There was an expansion...

“He is out there again.”
It was said in a menacing way.  One check-out woman to another,
In front of me, the customer.
It startled me.
Someone was out there.
But who?

Was he there for a solid reason,
Or was...

O' Butterfly, a child, disgraced 
Bewitched without a chance
Beguiled, exquisitely endowed. Frail wings held no escape
Such innocence would glaze her eyes, as gossamer might do

He wooed her far astray with words, of promised wedded bliss

(07/05/11)

She had been acquitted by a jury of her peers
Amongst anger, hatred, bitterness and fear.
95% of the public know in their hearts
That this child s life was torn apart.
Circumstantial evidence and hearsay
Helped this woman to...

What did you see in me uncle?
How could you even hold me tight?
I was born just a few months ago
My tender body still didn't grow.

I slept by the side of my mom
You have shown her...

He parks up the street
Then shuts his lights off
Keeps the engine running
Only one thing on his thoughts

He sits silently still
With engine idled and running
He has come up with a plan
He hopes it is cunning

WHITE

Thumbs up for the whiteness of white, pure, 
natural or gently recreated on a dentist’s chair. 
How beautiful it manifests itself in smiling! 
Would I wish otherwise for me but to 
display it, giggling, in...

Do you believe in aliens?
I do.
Not the type that are green 
with big black eyes and tentacles,
But the ones that are just like you and me
They sit imprisoned in classrooms
And worry about bleaching their hair
And...

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks...

In the red dust bowl of a dry river bed
an afterlife flowed to the distance ahead
where the eyes cannot figure the view at the end
or what lies in wait around the bend.
Gnarled fisher of dreams...

Fell twilight for the gods on craven haunches,
  sarcophagus tantrum slammed,
broke fingers dug in the sacred bread,
stilled mouths from sipping rough cask wine
  from the vine of the freshly damned.
 
Satan, with crossed...

Prometheus bound, but not denied
The better part of food is fried
Fresh or fridge, it's all the same
Smarter people light a flame

Prometheus bound, hear me cry
Someone's got a fish to fry
Eating well is my desire
Come on...
