Long Copes Poems

Well, here we are in the Araneta Coliseum
In Cubao, Quezon City in the Philippines
To witness two modern boxing Gladiators
Their prowess, stature, about to be seen

This will be the third between the WBC, WBA
Stepping into the...

My aching Tears

My tears ache, they cry out, reaching for sun beams,
only to find, to feel, - touch nothing - lifeless , empty dreams
are all around, surround me in that nothing it seems,
leaving me to...

Shards

*quick note*
A very dark and depressing song I wrote

When I look in the mirror, is it me looking back?

On the subway I sat, I was...

AT ONE WITH NATURE

~~~~~~~~~~

The sun shines, brightly lights my day. My garden verdant many hues of green. Greater speedwell, resilient, blooms no matter the season. Late spring, early summer it explodes. Late Jack Frost, it...

The pin oak leaves from dormant trees, 
fall on this crisp autumn morn,
as I paint the scene of an artist’s dream;
in my mind this landscapes born.
The patch work green is this valleys scene,
with broken squares...

Unrelenting blitzkrieg deadly
assault upon psyche
pounded defenseless
vulnerable mindscape accustomed
to shelter within aproned crease
mama proffered manna, especially

when untethered meek docile lad
subjected to blistering hellfire
infamous hoodlums wantonly unleashed
verbal bombardments lobbing poison
spear tipped invisible blackened barbs
manifold times more agonizing

piercing,...

I PROMISE 

As I'm sitting alone 

There's a kinda six sense premonition 

That Iddy biddy feeling inside 

Known as parental intuition 

We know the parental drill 

Time to take our position 

Doesn't matter what your...

Like the Vikings who left us this word – ‘berserk’ 
some of us may have shown it through human reaction,
where we go berserk against disproportionate behaviors
such anger or infuriation that defines the immediate actions.

It’s still...

She stands gallant 
For us: the staged pens 
Of growing knowledge
For the posted battle field
By honor to get hired 

She stands gallant
In lonely and scary dens
Tightly by duties pledge
For our efforts to yield
And live likewise...

Did you ever hear those voices that tell you he's gone,
his love has vanished but just move on,
The bed you shared has become a place of loneliness, 
and everything has become your own,
Yet he's still...

Watching him sleep

As I silently weep

About old times and fun

Looking 360 degrees at all that he's done

A wonderful life disregarded, tears shattered

His thoughts that nothing he's accomplished has mattered

All the anger and confuse that he's...

Dreams of treasures and material things
Cause us to heed the loud voice of reason
While true dreams – the ones with gentle wings
Enchant the heart with love for a season
Hope alive with bright hue who sweetly...

It’s an optimistic opportunity, not a burden
I want to talk to you cheerfully all of the sudden

I want change
I’m just so strange

I have the strength to better myself to change all of me
If I put...

There’s backyard soccer clashes and test cricket matches,
a shrine to footy with posters on the wall.
Dirty dishes piled up high, washing, ironing ruffled lie …
a man's house with a lady's photo in the hall.

David wrote out many praises
To the One who holds the moon and stars
He penned many words and phrases
Sometimes they were filled with sobs

His words lifted the Lord to the heights 
Of mountain tops and into...

His father was an Aristocrat
His mother a high class whore
And he attended Public School
As had his ancestors before,
Achieved a First at Oxbridge,
Sword of Honour at Sandhurst,
Served in Bosnian with UNFOR 
Saw genocide at its very...

A very good morning to all my fans, 
My uplighters, my blossom, 
an add on to my faithful viewers
 amongst my midst 
in a pandemonium world:

When Betty hit the menopause
her symptoms all came on at once,
with her brain fog; she feels a dunce!

At night in bed, the hot sweat pours
and her nightie is soaked right through
she changes; then runs to...

Father is a stump grinder,
a heavy planter. Shovel fingers
bulling through onions and leeks. 
Truck-hands lashed to maroon suspenders.
Head in the dirt, a blue exhaust
trailing from grub-working teeth,
hefting clumps and yellow fag-ends,
raising clammy clay blooms.

Mother is...

Through somber steps each climb is made;
The fruitless efforts fail.
Thus, love unshared and work unpaid
Disturbs the nightingale.

In song it copes
With fears and hopes;
From limbs it hung,
All feelings sung.

Warm waters crawl beneath its wings
On lonely twilight...
