Long Commotions Poems

From that day on and forward,
I began to see the wretchedness my God had warned me of
He cursed the Lord wholeheartedly, for inflicting yet another agony on him,
In his well he called The Prison of...

is what the Bo’sun says
from the...

You don’t know how it feels
To be misunderstood and jaded
You won’t ever know till it kills you inside
To you, I speak words of wisdom
And it feels like I’m a million miles away
Just to feel isolated...

Perpetual Quandries of Dischord

Permanent irreversible Attatchment disorder
A lemonade stand at the Mexican Border
A traumatised disorganised old lady hoarder
The incriminating evidence on an old tape recorder 

Elements of discontent shivering through a crowd 
Firmaments of promises...

Verse 4: Another day of fighting back tears of fears
Lingering around a chastening situation that appears
You can't just leave me with this junk of a job 
I sit down on the couch of my corruption...having...

Saw you cry cry cry and pout
No doubt...I don't care anymore
What are you crying about?
Can't you see I'm jaded to the core?

I hear people preaching about marriage
When they're married themselves!
No humility! Just overrighteous and like...

I hear an echo, echo, echo in my heart’s cage
I feel a halo, halo, halo in my mind’s blank page
Hear my silent radiance and my dandelion breeze
Feel the drums at the dead of night at...

My spirit is crying but no tears are flowing

Eighteen hundred and three begins U.S. destinies.
Merriwether Lewis and his comrade, William Clark, agrees –
They will go forth, avoid Frenchmen, fighting growling grizzlies.
To find a water trade route that flows west to the Pacific seas.

Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions

Favorite Carolyn Devonshire Poem

History Rising from the Sea

Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn

Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions

Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan

Memories...

I guess I'll leave now before the break of dawn
You made me love you, but that didn't last too long
You belong with me or so I thought...

pierced me like a pin on the floor)

By the expectations that others designed
In this journey, I'm the one who decides
To spread my wings and let my spirit glide

I am elated...

Causing our own commotions then get mad with what surrounds us. 
We lack to feel for those that we see have less. 
We slack...

III.
It was near midnight when they came again,
four warriors armed all with flaming brands,
Myron bolted up from a fitful sleep,
and poured out bullets as the horses ran.

He managed to shoot one off of his horse,
but...

(Continued from Part 1)


Transparent figures walk at a flirtatious pace
On world-class runways, with no expression on their face
Parading styles you can't afford in your possession
They are the ghostly models of the latest, greatest FASHION.

My heart cries for thousands and thousands of people
those who perished in the earthquake-spawned waves;
known as tsunami, the worst natural disaster
that caused tons and tons of deaths across Asian countries.
