Long Concreted Poems

The noise aboard the motor boat reminds me that I was not alone
The high perspiration smell from the young couple sitting beside me
caused me to remember the green wood’s in Virginia and the squirrels
chasing each...

Saga     (1)
Seeing the lives of saga saints
I wanted to pass life reclusively
Nothing hoarding for further life
Holding only covering body
Two metres of clothe dwindled 
From shoulders to leg
One water holder for quenching...

Do you know where I came from
Do you even understand the loss that birthed bronze and silver before the whole
Do you know discipline the way I had to defeat hardships 
I don't think you can...

Feel like a prostitute, only used at night

Never appreciated, I don't think its right

People make use of me with little thought at all

Without me they'd be in the dark, could trip or fall

 

Never worry...

EASTER SUNRISE

Outside, perfect Sunrise
Service. The air’s so fresh.
Pastel dresses, pretty ties.
Resurrection from the creche.

Birth and rebirth celebrated.
Jesus - our Dayspring on High.
As sunrise songs begin, elated,
Oh how blessed with warming-eye.

The Son! The Son! Salvation
Hallelujahs in...

Our dog is relaxing for the first time in almost eighteen hours.
The interloper is finally gone.
She is so relieved; I have never heard her sigh this deeply and we have had her for seven years.
Yes,...

By those virtues deposited in my heart;
Amiss those tandem brutal deleted parts;
Memories of prior judgment sinner wrath;
Presently mourners rants when will healing start;

Remorseful and enlighten yet still I'm sad;
There is a virus sin driven this...

outside
inventoried oval-stoned
cathedrals appealing
chiming crimes of passion
woke citronella
fog
hung in cement-hamocked snowdrifts
cloaked slow on slick-stained windowsides
tenement sheets
with the pomegranate notes
of rhythms unrhymed
   while all the uptown laundromarts
rising up
from insomniac-scrambled sidewalks
corked-copper moon tumbling earthward
like a sweet
sweatshredded...

They laid and built a new road;

in the heat of the day it looks
like a stretched curved spine 
along which newly planted trees 
grow their skimpy wishbones
as they file along the verge.

There is no shade...

Remembering the mountain
My tears start falling down
Crawling upon my face
I departed from the wharf of home
And I am started to think
Crying the nostalgia of this mountain
It was once a symbol of my pride
Being the descendants...

I asked myself
Why can’t I be like her?
Calved in a very luxurious life
Loaded with an abundant wealth

She might never felt this
About all of these worries that I hold

That I also had a dream
A dream that...

Enough of living in my head via manufactured means. 
Never will enough be said about our fractured beams. 
Trying hard to let it shine, maybe gain back esteem. 
Showered over people like admiration for the...

"You are my soul to stir", she said,
while winding ribbons 'round her head
in colors to befit her mood
a fuchsia braid, t'was understood
she barely spoke, but when she did
the room became a concert hall
before first notes,...

When the summer comes,
The family, friends and relatives,
Bring their children to play,
Under a 100 years old oak tree.

One side, Elder managed their chairs,
And played chess, chrome or cards.
Oneside children swing their swings, 
And ladies enjoy...

Into the Flames is where your soul will remain
The book of Life thirsts for God's pen of judgement and smite
Can't erase it even if you thought forgetting would please Him
You walked around without repentance holding...

An advent of raptors loiters over mall roofs.
hooded eyes scope the neon-lit spaces,
the concreted waste lands.

We wake to their screams as if this were High Sierra,
not Ohio where parent’s try-out or manage children,
open party stores,...

You luxuriously flew to this
Concreted forest, looked for me
In these brown zinced roofs,
But found me not.

In despair you drove off to the
Growth points were the poor
Congregate to drink their misery off
But found me not.

Then maneuvered...

My heart was completely hearted,
My Past was a quicksand, my ancestors,
Died without a drawing to follow up,
Younger generation has no guide lines.

When a person found a search light, 
And noted a formula of luxuries,
He wrote...

When a fire broken out,
It never cares for price,
Ash has left behind,
Prestigious things when cool down.

When water became flood,
No huts and concreted towers,
The dignity and respect for family,
Banished with dirt and dry leaves.

When clouds have...

Weeping Willows

In a picture of grief
Death lies underneath
Scattered in the far
Stands tall
To show to all
A grey mass
A written note from the past

Weeping willows pierce the ground close by
Weeping winds whistling a secrete cry
Concreted angel
Lives on
In...

You can smell the fall scented air,
Hear the laughter and screams at the fair.

See the dogs run loose,
Giving the kids an extra boost.

The bench I sit unto,
Had the dismay of an older clue.

Rusted edges,
Concreted ledges.

Chipped...
