Long Confinements Poems

It is a strange dream
in which an animal rights advocate
is swamped with questions
from Chief Justice Roberts.

A vicious dog,
trained to attack humans 
with politically incorrect audacity
to trespass against his white supremacist Master,
has been imprisoned
and sentenced to...

To awaken means to realize one’s own nothingness, that is, to realize one’s complete and absolute helplessness. As long as a man is not horrified at himself, he knows nothing about himself.
Through the labyrinth of...

In the passage of time, my love has grown old without you,
A fragile flower, aching for the touch of morning dew.
Once, our dreams interlaced, and we painted sunsets bold,
Casting vibrant hues across the sky, a...

Our lives center around love, dreams and a common wish to be forever surrounded by happy (and for the poet, poetic) themes. Just close your eyes and set yourself free! Escape to that place where...

SHALL WE DANCE

Shall we dance, as two snakes encircling one another,
A bite to the strike, whom draws the first blood of 
Passions bitter poison.
Venomous vipers, engaged in a twisted game of hidden desires,
Shielded by golden...

Social Justice

Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. 
I am an American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
A measured explicit and tacit...

Looking back at the past relationship I've had
I question why I stayed when it was so bad
The only conclusion I can draw; he had me hook line and sinker
 Controlled confined from life, no more...

I chose  
I could’ve been
A homebound hermit,
Hypnotized by the hum
And hue,
Of a high-tech 
HD computer screen.
A slave 
To the
Rhythmic rap
Of 
Clicking keys;
Depriving me 
Of much 
Needed rest.
I’d Search 
For Love 
And friendship 
In a...

In all these triumphs and human attainments 
To overcome these realities of material boundaries and confinements 
Do we simply fill our lives with possessions and possessive capitalist greed
Is it just ego and the fear of...

Confinements of thought have digested esteem
In a roving concern any fairytale can -
And it tells him for instance that this is no dream,
But a time spoke, Amera, was when it began. 

A knowing adventure where...

Love whispers
Love whispers in my ears
Demanding I smile in the darkness
Soothing my fears in the dark
Holding my hand in the waves 
Steadying the beat of my heart
Drying the tears in my eyes
Love whispers in my...

   Dulcimer dewdrops
 paint the leafy canvas,
hungry mouthlings bobbing 
   a rambunctious sway 
   from
clear pleasure of impact to receive 
       blessings of...

This morning I left my bed
With reticence in my bones.
The old house shifted and settled
In another transitional place.
The car groaned changes of metal
Unlike what I came to expect.

Conservative witches chant
How maintenance is all worth,
How we...

I realized COVID-19 called for a lengthy isolation, 
I stocked my cupboard and went into self-imposed quarantine 
Confined with no visitors provides little consolation. 

I realized what older sister went through at seventeen 
When she...

You can't kill
a man with soul
They forgot to engrave 
His fate on his forehead
And draw the roads
To a proper life on his palms
But he knew
He knew that life belongs
To those who could touch
Touch bodies, send...

Why worry about a world,
In which you will never be perceived.
Dwelling on intangible dreams 
That will never be conceived.
Never given an option,
Just going with the flow.
Hoping that you will be happy ,
Wherever life bids you...

Deepening black of the coming night
Foretelling of the evil things to come
Swirling black clouds filled with might
The blackened place that hate comes from

Senses sharpened, sight honed blade sharp
Keen eyes searching in the blanketing fog
Tick tock...

Seriously… 
Frequently verse free of rhyme and meter
Articulates mental images upon a page.
A poetic expression from the heart
Unified by tangential emotions,
Thoughts openly, freely uttered…
A progression of complexities
The essence of a poet’s soul opened.
His fundamental nature...

We learn to sit and then to crawl
Because our view is just too small.
From crawling next we start to walk;
Confinements only make us balk.

Once we can walk, we learn to run;
Our exploration has begun
And once...
