Long Dampens Poems

I know
you know
you stole our property,
our mutual possession,
our sense of co-ownership,
of belonging together
to grow our health forever.

I know
you took it for your sole ungrateful possession,
to use for your self recreating purposes,
not a subject for open...

I swear there’s no heaven
I’m just twenty seven

Two toddlers, never married
Two fathers, my life far too harried

I bartend and wait tables
My life doesn’t resemble storybook fables

I live stressed out with fatigue
I often wonder if I’m...

Wordsmith's Veneration...

Methinks, I post literary endeavors inxs
but tis with blood, sweat and tears
in case ye did not guess,
who struggles to craft reasonable rhyme
ideally read by a pleasing poetess.

Aye willy nilly understate (trying to)
tantalize, hypnotize, galvanize...

Soul stripped.

Flesh ripped. 

Hope lost.

Time moves on not heeding the cost.

Hurt buried aside in the ditch.

Anger flares like a flip of the switch.

Fist tenses,
Wrenching blood from within.
Fingers pawing at the line of life,
White with streaks...

I stand at the crossroads
Of a choice that tempts both halves of my soul
The one on the left is sunny
The gravel is smooth and the light bounces off gleaming grass
The edges blossom in vivid colors
And...

Wordsmith's Veneration...

Aye willy nilly understate (trying 2)
tantalize, hypnotize, galvanize...
with "FAKE" trumpeting
spellbinding, rambling, quivering...
intoxicating, hallucinating, gyrating,
stop to take a breather...

English Language vocabulary, a
fascination, intoxication, provocation...
upon me ocular, neurological, mental...
faculties of this nattering nabob
from outer limits of...

Ecstatic, electrifying, exhilaration ignites inside,
Inspiring my soul to capture the hope,
Songs echoing on the coast where there is light,
Silent light tossing, trembling, tempting my thoughts,
Into the night where pieces of my heart reflect the music
Playing...

(Zen means peaceful passion in this song/poem) 

With words left unspoken,
I give you a gift of prayer once again
With wings left unbroken,
I give you wings of flight, so full of zen

Left unspoken…
Left unbroken…
So full of...

Uncle soldier Sammie
is too flashback	    far Saigon 
The bad memory withdrawals 
are too ganja gun smoke strong
So he pumps up the blame volume,
saying who’s dirty napalm wrong

He’s got a shaky second and...

Heaven, hear me now,
and not a moment late.
Heaven hear this now;
it’s been so long a wait.
Heaven, on knees bow
i— soul caught up, afraid.
pain molesting. how
i so long for your gate;
ajar, receive now
me— oh, life does...

When you’re alone and afraid
Tears are falling like rain
Shadows are calling your name
Doubts make you feel so ashamed
It is then… during your worries
When you call out to the One who
Silences every uncertainty…
He hears your prayers...

The labels, some serve to award with honour
and others are just straight up meant  to demean
The much sought after accolades and the prestige, ever so enticing 
lend a tender sweet stroke to massage and...

Thoughts about

The games in life, that one plays for his / her audience, are games perceived

it is not a game at...

Laying on this angled hill watching the sun set, It's rays of light reaching out to grasp the earth as it fades, Each beam of it hits one star at a time brightening it till...

Estate sale, treasures only to those who once lived here. 
Stories long ago forgotten, maybe to never be told.
A somber event, people move wordlessly, occasionally whispering a “sorry” as they wait on the stairs.
We are...

Does complaining helps, I don't know; but they say
yes it helps, keeps one away from taking action;
It gives excuses to procrastinate, stay
away from achieving goals as reaction;
Complain helps too much not to try to find...

Words are far from true.
They disguise.
Wise stain eyes until real is all you need, free from salty cries.

This language spoken, only speed bumps the weak for weeks.
Years multiply by division of fear postulating theorems we...

Hope
I care not for the odds
Spoken by sooth sayer voices
They are blinded by statistics 
For a seemingly sure concept
Though a bleakness dampens 
Every fainting ray of light
There exist an unexplainable God 
Characteristic of sensitivity
Endowed to...

Opening my eyes in the morning and
Taking a deep breath
It is another day, another sunrise
I am still alive, breathing and well!

Bringing me a new day and a...

Mounted on his noble steed,
   No taller than the tallest weed.

Prepared and ready for the plunge,
   Protected from any type of grunge.

Staring down a darkened cave,
   Deep inside him...

the abandoned house, so lonely
and desolate. The wood cracking like
cardboard shredded by a cat. Its
windows opaque with grime, where
they are still intact. A roof caved in,
finally succumbed to the weight
of the world pressing down upon...

My finger throbbed, sliding red water splashing upon the slick topography, it was almost impossible to hide the laceration from these half-breed hybrids. Horns and ties, flesh costumes and ash shoes these monsters shifted between...
