Long Cloud covered Poems

Wine tears
Flowing through the contours of cheeks
To reach these valleys residing in heart
Listen
Let the echo jump into this abyss
Until it reverberates like a suicidal cry
And breaks like a rope 
Adamant on giving second chance to...

I was an elementary school teacher, with dreaming eyes to the rosy future,
Like the emerald, cherry blossom season, arriving later rather than sooner.

As a creative teacher, I was so popular, as children were my pearled...

When the spirit of a woman 
who was trying to heal her deep-rooted enmities steps forward with her shoulders twitching overwhelmed with grief, her footmarks are filled with the bitterness of life and that’s why...

If you saw beams gleaming
On Peavine Mountain last night
It was me, between two men I love
Having them both in sight

I haven't been on this mountain
For many years you see
But through all my desperation
I know I...

We cannot listen
or learn easily
when we do not feel safe,
said the environmental science students
to their corporate sponsored teachers.

Our lungs cannot breathe easily
or our hearts beat steadily
when we are not sure we can trust
the anthrosupremacist resource
currently...

Upon Angel's wings the view was simply stunning, like that of a newborn infant, seeing the bright lights of heaven and all it's possibilities. 

Over the cloud covered mountains we soared, effortlessly. Time it...

The leaden cloud-covered sun
relentlessly starves the summer harvest-
strangling its life-giving light to wield the death
of all filaments and assemblance of living green.
Leaves plot their fate turning into a fiery protest
of orange, yellow, cinnabar, and tawny...

Lonesome


Tonight beside the trail
My fire sputters from a cold wind
That sweeps down off the high peaks
Making the Aspen leaves rustle again

I lay back staring into the blackness
Of a cloud covered night
But out in the wilderness...

He stood misty eyed before the shining mirror
Of the musty green pond, and saw beyond
Its depth, through layers of rocks to sky. For
Long she watched the falling leaves framed the man
And then with curious steps...

Embroiled in
Pre-dawn delusions
Assuming the
Cloud covered moon is
Destroying its symbolism
For my own amusement
As the parking lot becomes
Mystical, enlightened
Full of
Ambient apparitions 
Of the eternal type
With the coyotes barking
And my
Inner self yawning
I see an old radio
Centered in the...

I take my pain to where ragers rage and writhe
in their self-absorbed gluttony on all-winter days
their tea cups are only for them
interspersed with silence and solitude
the streets are buildings without them
  who are the...

This solemn creature nestles its head back on the smooth-sided rock, inside this hollowed house of irregular shapes and sides.

The cloud-covered moon rises slowly, calming the surrounding landscape and lulling it into a dreary daze.

Happy days, my darling  
Happy nights, to you
I lost the fight
To cuddle tonight
But I won a victory, too

You are my inspiration
You are the poems I do
When we are done
Sharing the fun
Chasing the morning dew

Guess...

Poor little Moon King
trapped inside a gilded cage
within the marble prison walls
the cage is painted
and the marble held up with balsa wood
a fake fairy-tale façade
castles in the clouds
ladies in classical poses
battles never won
nor even fought
locked...

Limber trees,
Ashen sky's
People walk carlessly by.

I awake to this sombersome world
everyday awaiting for a magnificent change.
Some one help me so i can be more than this.
 
Scared am I?
 Oh Yes!

But still I look for...

Paranormal...

High amid the mountain ranges wherein the rivers flow

Winding through and aneath the timberlines of life

Cascading over its edge these currents unto their mist!?

As apparitions in broken dreams this spectrums darkened hues

Impeded by the rays...

Once dragons flew freely in the skies
Magic ruled the earth
We lived in castles in the air  
Hearts filled with love and joy  
Causing us to be as one--
We learned from dragons
It is all...

Prisoner
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
I dare not say that I am innocent for I am not 
I have committed a crime
But my delinquency is contrary to felony
I have committed a crime of goodwill  

My transgression...

From way up high in the cloud-covered sky
A snowflake traverses toward the ground
In its crystallized form a new season is born
And it lands without making a sound

Darkness arrives before the start-for-home drives
So much earlier it...

Thank you for your still laboring pains.
Thanks for the amnesia of suffering
the bedpan and the bible,
the sunny window
that ran with a watery blood
wherever the flying ducks
rushed toward your gun.

Fingertips tingle, the daily callus is softening,
becoming...

Bout to rest in peace.
Cover my feet up with dirt
Tell the devil to get 
away from me
Close my eyes and 
dream of Jesus 
fighting for me.
Drift away peacefully 
Move cloud covered skies
so I can see starry eyes
Every once in...

Mountains rushing towards the heavens
Grass so green it hurts your eyes
When the sun breaks through to light it
From the grey cloud covered sky
Sandy beaches free from clutter
Waiting at the mountains feet
Shifting with the waves that...
