Long Compressing Poems

DEADLY VOYAGE:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES 
Intro:
The road is slippery, 
And we got to tread cauteously, 
So we don't miss our step, basical
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES 
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES.... 
Chorus:
Hajei....hajei....hajei....
Perception is troubling everyone,
Everyone is being...

It might become too ironically
and iconically embareassing
to admit
I am taking a (s)hit
while exploring
my latest
and perhaps final 
nutritional surmise
compressing peak climax

A well-capitalized
Systematic Theology
of EcoLogical Systems
is not such 
an inviting much
of a moving title

Yet herein

Double binds 
like double negatives,
not not,
who's notnot there?
neither here nor there
yet both here and there, potentially
where past and future
meet here and now.

Time's double-binding law and order
of identity
wears two faces,
one composed of past incarnate win/lose spaces,
the...

Straight lines, sepia

The suppression of unwanted thoughts

Like time spent in sensory deprivation
Time spent in a droning room
Under sterile light hums, practically drooling

The vacuum of most moments
As standard as cinder blocks
Punctuated by things so washed out,...

She sits alone 
She draws her knees up to her shoulders, hugging them tightly
She shivers in the icy wind 
Her teeth chatter and the stream of tears from her eyes, sting her cheeks 
As she...

On July 15, 2010, my wife, Teri, and I took our younger daughter, Isabel, to the doctor for a regular checkup. She was nine months old and appeared to be in perfect health. Her first...

this existence is meaningless
i don’t understand
i don’t understand
why me? 
the cliché echoes in empty air
but is amplified in my soul
as no other question
holds such validity
as this.

this existence is meaningless
i am out of control
the tears that...

My lateness once more has caused me immediate damnation,
and my unstable state, a product of my lost attention.
Overcoming the limitation by doing three person's work at once
resulted to a failed manipulation
of compressing minutes' activities into...

The sharp knife of simplicity 
cut a transverse incision through my scalp.
The hands of hope gutted out my psyche,
deconstructed my mind,
and organized it into a coherent tumor
that fills the gap once deep in my brain....

Running cracks of lead flaked paint, spiders across the front door like a grandfather's
forehead. 
Its hinges squeal from years of inattention and forgotten maintenance
Floor boards moan a song of dismemberment and forgotten age
While musty gloom...

I have stories in my heart I want to tell 
Some of people in paradise and others in hell
I know all the characters in my stories well
Some perish, while some are saved by the bell

Surrounded by endless space
Stars and moons
Make up my home
But its all devoured in one second by the black hole heart.
I should run
Instinctively I know
But I’m curious
I must get a better look
I moved closer
My heart pounds...

Impossible mission to pinpoint present
such fleeting moment instantaneously spent
according to yours truly i.e. this gent
mind boggled, intrigued, stymied...
courtesy unseen minute

provocateur stealing every precious second,
whether or not satisfactorily spent
time thief absconds...

To wake each morning and begrudge
 the daylight  intruding  into that life..again.
To feel desolate that once more no prayers were answered,
despite frantic, blind pleadings for an unending sleep.
To know that again, the charade...

expressing my pain in what has been rough,
depressing days; my mind wears not youth-
compressing all my anger caged with fear,
obsessing over what is or is not the truth

exceeding in angst, my quill breaks in half,

Loneliness abounds.
Harsh realities hitting my conscious efforts.
Not realizing the errors of my ways till thrown in my face.
Stinging, burning, feeling like frozen pellets from the heavy black clouds above.
I felt backed up against a wall,...

I feel for you, beyond the spectrum your eyes speak to me
Victoria my emotions is possessed by infatuation
Oh my love, please show yourself to me
I will build a kingdom, where you can be my queen

"shhhhh.....shissssssh"
"be quiet"...whispered
"Can you hear that?"
.
.
"What is that sound?"

Is it far...a faraway
train whistle lonesome
from song of mainline?

Is it the soft ting
of the tea kettle 
cooling on the stove, 
bending it's metal?

"What is that sound?"

It is the...

Once upon a time... a child celebrated
Colorful lights of Crackers...
Fluorescence of Fireworks.
The black powder bonfires in sky 
Illuminated  his darkness ..
Sprinkling showers of acoustic pops.

And then...
Demons ignited black powder to enslave his mind.

His cranium...

Through the bank account
over painted naivety

it is so intense just to be here
between look and expectation
knowing
I'm just one step from alighting
to be
your personal abyss

in the same way that
high ranked husband
of well polished wife

Gravity pulls the sun below the horizon
Dragged to depths of darkness
Shadows widespread screaming and attacking
Compressing me to depressed

Murky depths 
Sniffs that tease light
Coughs echoing fears
In a pitch black night

Enclosed within my tears
They close in inch...

On this mountain of doubting they call life
down and out they call it strife
Stress compressing slows your stride 
Hope breaks off but Brexit tied

Everyday a new begin

Everyday your hair goes thin

Mona Lisa is
Looking directly with fizz
Loving life more than slaying 

Her bent left arm looks
Curving as rushed water goes
Few miles into Sinai cove

Her left side’s dark cheek
A map of bliss’ Middle East
Tsunami comes to seek...
