Long Colloquy Poems

The day my life went ape ‘chit’ in no more than three-hundred words

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch counts

And pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis works wonders

When I am asked to write a poem that is either precise or reductionist


Thus I report from my personal...

As the stars cross this brumous night ~

Standing here with these white washing tides

Carrying away the sands beneath my feet

Glancing beyond the repetitious of this champagne sea

Swells amid the rifts now rising....

In Full Flight Her Soul Departed


To free my heart of all that haunted me
Told I, these my tidings.
... On a summer's dawn,
Fresh from our orisons, we wandered forth
To greet the waking of the meadow flowers
And...

To my dearest dear…
Writing for you…first time..
Hope you are doing fine,
All these days being with you
You gave me back once again
Those gleeful days of mine.
It really matters to me a lot
All those days spend with...

The Night Your Landlady Came To Your Room

A loose gown in which her flesh swam free 
Fascinated 
Your eyes resting diffidently, the full white breasts 
The shadowed cleft

I am placed along the line of your existence
seeking for the stray reflection of my shattered heart.
Your laughter consumes my sighs,
like a whirl full of ebullience.
My lament covers the dulcet sound of your breath,

Ruffled for starters, confusion on the rocks

a colloquy for beginners as scattered as blocks

the more you think, the more you think more

away from yourself you weaken your core

Nothing was taught, they calculated it all

thrown from...

My grandpa always loved good yard sales
To pick up odds and ends driving for miles

Would return with amazing things in his cart
As he loved old books to instruct and impart.

First he would read a book...

H. E. R. 

Her voice is fluid like 
Dripping melancholy melodies into my eardrums 
Her words echo through my soul
Resonating with every heart ache
Every heart break
Reading my mind
as if I told her my life story

All of eternity love will be there.”

Now there is some sort of truth in flashes, 
a challenge to endure,
to let the change within me speak,
the words not mine alone,
but of that mystery that feeds me
from the spring of life,
the axiom of...

Hang a left, clunker rocking
on sprung shocks.
Inside,
narrows taper to booths.
The place is slow-time empty.

The staff talk is griddle speech,
a blow by blow banter,
middle finger smarts mixed with
vowels of regrets.

From the lips of waitresses
the clipped history

Hand, each one has its...
My hand has its way of being,
the hand of the world has its own way...
My hand shakes hands,

The opposing hand does not do it out of envy...

I hang a left, my clunker rocking
on sprung shocks.
Inside, narrows taper to booths.
The talk is griddle speech,
a blow by blow banter,
middle finger smarts mixed with
vowels of tenderness.
I overhear the history
of generations of icons. False gods...

I hear myself talking to the radio;
the shock-jock stops pushing words 
into my vehicle,
a pause, as if he is listening.
I don’t get paid for my opinions
my place is to be a listener, a non-combatant,
just ears...

Another embraced behind my ear 
A ream of paper at peace on my lap 
And ink smudges consume my fingers

A sky denuded of stars 
Is just like a garden devoid of blossoms.
Even when the night sky goes aloof too,
I close my eyes
And enter into a profound colloquy 
With the phosphenes of my eyes.
These flickering...

Icy palm shelters a fevered mouth.
I still know what you're thinking.
Speech needn't become tangible
for your words to cut and bruise.
What you ache to say blankets,
lingers atmospherically between us.
Long gone are days of battling space,
requiring time,...

Weather Colloquy


I have seen the storm-
cometh with angry tones
steady in its wrath
dropping massive hail stones

I have seen the sky-
wet earth to its core
steady with its rain
pelting down forever more

I have felt the hot sun-
naked fire...
