Long Connived Poems

RED

One hundred years ago in Pollockshaws
A man was laid to rest,
From humble beginnings to a martyr
They buried Scotland’s best.

A man who stood for the people
A man unshaken and proud,
Till the imperialist and capitalist murderers
 Connived...

Chorus
Sights are far but our minds are close
two hearts share one inhale with one nose
stage acts are for her even the pose
smiles from down she wishes for a rose
ten out of ten is her loyal...

Espousing irreverent greed

Crafted one year ago today
yours truly – hopefully self plagiarism okay
worse case scenario, 
I would meet ill fate re: kenway
named after Assassin Creed 
Black Flag's protagonist.

Espousing irreverent greed

Passive stance, but aye agreed
and did promise to pledge troth
faster than greased lightning airspeed
once the missus temporarily
ceased menarche regarding monthly bleed
became in family way with child
thee eldest, whom one day may breed,
when permanently...

When the 21st century stepped into its third decade, the major tone of the world sharply switched. Internecine confrontation, cartelism and calumniation snaffled the high pitch, while comprehension, cooperation and cosmopolitanism, like ill-adapting burdens and...

A variation on a theme by Dr. Seuss...

There once was a Grinch who was bad to the bone,
Which was why he always spent Christmas alone,
But one year the Grinch said, "Enough is enough!"
And decided to...

It’s the smell of smoke
It sends its first warning
When we least suspect
It’s always slow but focused
It surely always creates a false impression
Of being far away
When it’s right beside us or behind us
It’s soft; nothing near...

That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

Our inception  was  a   mystery
"A big bang theory"   Some suggested
" A Super being" above the clouds" Some lamented
we watched the creatures debate over our existence

Born in a family ...

May 1974

Why do you need to waste your time today
Writing an elegy no one will read?

Add the half-cent to the cent
And text to shivering text
For you were born to text
And save-

But let her be 
She’s...

Signature

 Append the seal on the opening glee
 Of performance agog with clapping drums,
 The cylindrical bell calling to spirituous mundi
 Screaming flew about in the air;
 Perched on ears
 And pecked on fertile hearts,

With empty capacious cauldrons 
the living entities arrive arrogant, 
and depart organically desolate.
In between they turn into 
instinctive greed slaves to snatch 
the unearned fortunes,
getting sucked spellbound 
within the abyss of cravings.

In the innate inferno...

With empty sack the entities arrive and depart 
In between turn into greed slaves to grab
Sucked within the abyss of temptation
Love can bestow the heavenly satisfaction of giving.

In the inferno of temporal corporeal passion ...

Seven long years!

Good cheer, my love, as we venture forth

Over land and sea without recourse

Banished to rove us we three

No matter the tempest, remember me

As I was in our former life

In love promoting,you formed your wife

No trickery...

As this mad, mad world turns on a bedeviled tilt,
empirical evidence suggest
compassionate global warming regret 
has gotten the cold shoulder
Scoffers with frostbitten hearts
buoy iceberg lies 
Titanic size
Alternate spin facts
submerge the meltdown truth
Letting only half-life decay...

With empty capacious containers 
the living entities

in between turn into 
greed slaves to snatch

within abyss of temptation.

In the inferno of 
corporeal passion temporal,

Masquerade
 
Tilt the balance scale gently
then to find what maybe
the culmination of action
speaking
doing
building by impression
the mask of another person
 
Eventually totality of what shall be
the papermache of opinion
constructed and connived
by inability’s pride to discover
face value

An independent inventor, Stanley Meyer
Delved into his innate cauldron of genius
Thought ingenuously out-of-the-box
He’d revolutionize the automobile industry.

He claimed to have designed an engine
That he designated as the water fuel cell
Using the established principle of electrolysis
Of...

Unknown, I moved amidst life,
In streams of fabric unravelled.
Desiring to soar into the sky,
To touch the happiness travelled.

It's gone past, this fleeting feeling,
Of depth gone sour inside the mind.
There are still visions to view
Of what...

I feel your pain, and yet I'm unable to rescue you 
from yourself, and I know in my heart
I never will.
Looking into your eyes, I see both doubt and love,
wondering why I care.
I found a...
