Long Coagulates Poems

When vitamin and medication bottles became plaything of the missus

Mental health of yours truly
heavily reliant upon one selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor named fluoxetine (Prozac)
aside from countless
(approximately seven) other
prescription medications kept
stashed in a plastic tray
until one or...

Shards of glass cover the floor, 
all bloodied and disarrayed,
The night of terror exposed to us all, 
the town came out and prayed.
For the ten were gone, yet none be found,
people were completely dismayed.

On a...

In the embrace of the unseen moment, love bloomed humbly,
The cosmos writhes in ecstasy, beneath the unconstructed gaze of mastery.
Gathered around it are emissions of time, transmissions of ancestral eternities,
Reveries in water strokes, heavenly reflections,...

Tryouts starring musical prodigies 
and/or an attendant conductor
attempt to approach ambient chorus 
divinely exhibited from Gaia's handiwork
heavenly invoking kapellmeister's magnificent nonchalant outlook 
piquantly, quintessentially, repertoire sensately striking 
unmatched vast wisdom yielding, zephyr air albeit creativity

There is an old tall tale told by the elders in the Village.
It says that the skulls come up from the dead.
That their bones deteriorate and the skulls are only valued.
When the moon is full...

Here
in the yuletide
season,
today’s
peace on earth
and good will…
lay hidden somewhere
in the attic of bygone days:
wrapped in cobwebs of time.

Once considered obsolete—
hopefully benign—
malignant war
has become
the trend today;

Our war sick world, 
drunk on inebriating
negative wisdom,
has evolved into an...

Justifications fall

from your mouth like shrapnel

truer to yourself than any other cares to be

because inside you know

they lack the power to truly see

see you as you are

not a person, not a punching bag

in silence listen...

“It” embraces “togetherness”
Like blemished mascara on a retired call girl

“It” would speak in aggressive audible banter,
As if crystallized bullhorns were
Strapped
Onto unwelcome seating arrangements

No boundaries.
No consideration.
No apologies.

Yet, their measurement of pride
Coagulates into withered centimeters
While seducing unscented...

the choking beat of conformity
coagulates internment in the minds
of fascist marches measuring time
shoving tubes filled with dictates
down the gullet of my spirit
wishing to be at least severed
from the instance of alignment
inherent in the laughing dream
which...

Here greets
Now glimpses;
This moment

~~~~~~~~~


Sacred glimpse
Haiku fragment;
In the moment

Watch what happens
Dewdrop on leaf;
Instant nirvana

Birdsong greeting
Balcony duet;
Dawn hymnal

Fruit vendor
Ready-to-eat;
Temptation thrills

Lovely beauty
Finesse charms;
Feisty sensations

~~~~~~~~~


Street corner 
Lunchtime recital;
Musical interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Long bank queue
Monday transacts;
Credit and debit

~~~~~~~~~


In a quick splurge
Time slips away;

I value safety  
as I swim whilst made of shadows
crashing into the unbreakable surface tension

Should it rupture I'd lay exhausted -
all limbs and branches
tangled in roots

The sky
only witnessed through the lens  
of somebody...

Reflections are divergent 
images composite
negatives of dreams 
an alternate stream. 

Calculations of precise reality reflected.
diverge and coalesce? In memories 
Stacked as photographs fade…

Reflections are divergent 
images composite
negatives of dreams 
an alternate life
not all is at...

This is like a red moon.
This is like a total eclipse.
The sun becomes black.
SIX MONTHS OF DARKNESS
The gloom occurred during noon unexpectedly.
The media states the world is in Armageddon.
This has been formed from the unknown...

(In the 17th century, when thinkers
were first getting to grips with gravity,
they named it "kindly inclining".)

Seeds adrift on water 
coalesce: 
fueled by affinity, 
they form a community. 

Last pearls of wine 
combine: 
electing against space,...

Marooned, small life swims
in a rockpool flung up
and left high on the stretched
reach of last night's storm. 
The world that holds them
has shrunk to a size 
no bigger than a bucket.
The morning sun singles out

Blood is thicker than water (farewell)

Burdened and scarred by DNA
Passed on to us without our say yet
Blood is thicker than water you say?
Characteristically speaking at least 
Yes this much is true

Blood coagulates, dries up at...

This, is where it began
A scream
   Blood curdling
     An amalgamation of acid and iron

-Sweetness coagulates,
stiffening resolve
to capture fugacious episodes-

Like an unrobed woman,
draped across fractured light,
tempting my skin,
pulsing pheromones across
the peak and troughs of my breath.

Seeping through cracks,
in callow defences, this icon
demands piety –demands satisfaction-

and trapped in allure,
of suggested...

A red sun, pooling like a drop of blood,
coagulates at the edge of darkness.
And night flows over its shadows, a flood
black as pitch, inking a seamless starkness.

A gilded moon, like a pitted gold coin,
beams in...

Her eyes see his mystery
He's as raw as a bone
Bone white, ice cold
She feels his chill
When she wants his love
But she exists in hell for him
Because she knows
He's trapped at the Rockerfeller Center
A little boy...

who the hell let that pimp in?

My boss grabed me, then

Immediatly, I became the next candidate for exploratory surgery;

Sodomized with a paring knife to remove the alleged clitoris from my ass;

I immediatly volunteered for pimp...

Autumn grows old
Winter snow tells;
Vivid cold tales

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely lemon tree
Vivid outbursts;
Fruity yellows splurge

~~~~~~~~~


Evening echoes
Moonrise aura;
Stray cat strides

~~~~~~~~~


Inner escapade
New writes spark;
Passion tells

~~~~~~~~~


Memory circles
Glimpses scroll;
Old echoes

~~~~~~~~~~


Touch whispers
Cheer coagulates;
Distance crumbles

~~~~~~~~~


Once upon jazz
Discern then;
Lost melody
