Long Controllable Poems

When I was 4 1/2 years old, 
as abrupt as a spanking, 
my once reliable mother brought home 
a hospital surprise 
with an alien face and 
a blood-darkened eerie belly clip 
that was to suddenly...

Remember that wish, to spend time with Dragon, you wanted to come true.
Well, we’ve found a way to make that wish, for you, to really, come true.

you entered my world 
through an unopened door 
dazzled with my mind catering 
to my thoughts I'd wondered 

your extreme motive night and day 
desperately trying to focus above the old man 
whom desires attention...

My intellect is what helps me.
I can jump into the purely rational space and deal. 

But it's very lonely. 
I lived like that for years at a time. 

And, we sometimes love an idealized version of someone, the...

What is fear?
It clutches and binds you;
Its clinch constricts your conscience and gestures.
It degrades and damages you;
Its triumph abolishes your own proficiency to prosper.
It stops and holds you;
Its impeccable knack of holding you still is...

They past is another country
But as life moves on
It’s good sometimes to recall
Once good times long gone.
I called her my Pretty Flamingo,
The current Manfred Mann song,
Straight and slim and tall with
Legs that went on and...

Mr Alpha and Master Beta 
here to put you in your place 
after all they know much better 
than you with your stupid face 

Too much time on their hands 
noting you and your ability...

We carry the past with us
We frantically try to predict the upcoming years
Our minds are vociferously occupied
Filled with delusional neurotic fear

To detach from our emotions
Modern man might think is insane
Because to quiet the monkey mind
For...

This evening I listen to a Rock 'n' Roll band
Their track is Civil War, as our world now expands

To us it's the same size but to others they despise
For the want of greed exists in...

We relate to God 
with surface depth...
thus remaining
profoundly distant
from the unlimited breadth
and scope of spirit...

when wrongly considering,
we confound immortal, never sleeping, 
unchangeable Divine Presence 
with the ever-ephemeral, retiring
superficial nature of our physical bodies—

(the mesmerizing entrapment
of...

The wind howls throughout the night smashing its power into my night, I hear the 
force burst into my mind, such on line with love a UN controllable force.

It howls its might, petrifies my night...

Wind warrior's chant among proud souls
high in the mountains on grassy knolls
ancient ancestors urging them on
from deep within' their own heart song

The skies ceiling is breakin'
the people have weakened
honor has slipped out the door

Sudden and strangely strong
many shocks flood my body
causing muscles to stiffen
in protest.
Does it hurt?
Sometimes.
My mind drowns itself in
electricity without prior warning
causing a myriad of odd seizures. 
Each one different from the 
last; no seizure is...

A blue pen, on a white page.
With red and light blue lines,
Three holes and “fuzzies.”
The story of my life.

The story that begins with, and ends with,
Tears.
The story that is filled with pain,
Hatred, love, romance, abstinence...
Laughter,...

It is my fault she killed herself.  Crazy talk. Nonsensical logic. 
My first thought is to say, “Yes, it is SO your fault,” and roll my eyes.
Luckily, I have had life-training, so I am...

Great moments in childhood

THE PLAYGROUND.
Responsible for
bumps, bruises, broken bones
busted egos
Redeemed by
spontaneous acts of wisdom
retaliation, retribution and mercy.

THE “JUNGLE BARS”
A ten foot high tower
ruled by a reincarnated
Olympic gymnast.

THE “SEE-SAW”
An 18 foot plank
Balanced on a fulcrum
(never trust...

She is aware of distance,
a distance that replaces smooth with wrinkle,
that adds weight to where it once fell away,
a distance as controllable as a storm, as time itself.

It feels likes a rope thinning,
each frayed line...

I don’t love you 
And that’s the truth
Love isn’t a word strong enough to describe how I feel about you 

The definition of love has so many meanings 
Some of which fall short from this...

Steer the reins of what's within your grasp,
Decipher with clarity, thoughts amassed,
A cognitive shift, profound and vast,
Transformation blooms, the die is cast.

Anxieties and stresses fade from view,
The unknown's grip loosens, no longer askew,
Emotions' weight, a...

Control the controllable
Discernment well defined
A profound cognitive shift
Radical transformation – it’s all in the mind

Stress - anxiety
The fear of the unknown
The weight of the emotions
Tragically – the burden – the cognitive load

Tired – exhausted
Tattered -...

There are but two questions to answer, my friend.
Is the ball rolling?  And, was it worth it in the end?
Anything other than that is strictly called chatter.
The beginning and...
