Long Concussed Poems

Not a soul in sight, almost deserted, it was 10.00 pm,
Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

~ In  His   Image~
(Acrostic)


In his image  He’s created us all
New things, are  all  possible in His Holy name

Indeed, He deserves  all the...

Jack and Jill were brother and sister, whose environs were hilly and green;
And they groomed horses and worked in gardens, oft 'til a moonlight scene.

They did daily chores on a farm, in the outlying regions...

Let bygones be bygones though bygones bite on
Blessed to have had good times it’s life it went wrong
though it hurts good memories
to the end they’ll always be 
my friends and never enemies

Sitting with my Mom on the flight,
I could hardly contain my excitement,
flying from Lima to Pucallpa, Peru,
to meet Dad and friends for Christmas,

Sitting on my seat by the window,
noticed heavy black clouds we flew in,
We...

“My tears are testimony of my devotion to Beloved;
and from those tears white lilies will grow that speak the truth.”

I had heard the legend of her tears,
silent drops of sorrow liberating her pain,
flowing upon the...

The street seemed so much smaller now

The grime and the smell were still the same though

Engrained like the people who lived there

It was the only thing that never left him

She stayed at twenty-three

One tough girl

A regal black Prince stood atop a college curb.
Standing majestically at 5'4 however, slightly more than I atop the stone.
He was narrating a past fight he had fought with a tall white antagonist; who was...

she was a sassy little mermaid
with only one ardent wish
to wreak havoc on mankind
for introducing chips to fish
she’d sit upon that lorelei rock
and keep her constant check
and in the cold weather wore
a cardi zipped up...

The noise is a wound that won't heal
Vibrations don't let scars take hold
Held by a grip that tightens at will
No mind over matter
Because my mind is its hold

Even when seeing it coming
Light travels faster than...

Something great is happening for me,
regardless of the situations I see;
my Lord is working behind the scene
and I have been spiritually weaned.

Walking by faith and not by sight,
insures that I sleep well at night.
Happily I...

They are without a doubt
my favorite potato delicacy
French fries
Just the aroma makes me swoon
in sheer ecstasy ... bang   zoom
As a youngster, I could eat them everyday
if it were left up to me
French fries
Sliced...

Months piled up on themselves,
became a road block.
I can still hear
the sound of falling rocks.
I am concussed by the years.

Bought a pair of new sneakers,
bought a wristwatch that counts steps,
bought a wish and a hope
from...

First grade, pelted with eggs
  Second grade, broke both legs
Third grade, fell down the stairs
  Fourth grade, clawed by a bear

Fifth grade, ran into a tree
  Sixth grade, twisted a knee
Seventh grade,...

It must have happened in the night.
In the backyard, a pair of men’s shoes.
They loll now,
mouths agape and concussed.

starvation starts with a body 
to fill the cavernous
hollows formed by
out-jutting ribs and Ethiopian
belly:
      thin but distended

a body to warm the concussed
and frightened;
the
meadow lark lying still
on the dew soaked morn
grass

Visions grow 
out of our minds like vines.
We want to excavate 
the bare-knuckled past
with the jaw bones 
of concussed elks.

Wind and a cold moonlight 
still carves them.
They are the blunt teeth 
of a low wailing...

I'm swept away
Carried in a stream of consciousness 
Pulled along connected and opposing thoughts
Concussed by revelations

Pulled beneath the current
To the depths of understanding
Rising to the surface
Churned in heartache
Wrapped in passion
Bouncing off rocks of indecision

Grasping at...
