Long Deconstructing Poems

Greetings to those who would willingly seek admission to theater of the absurd. Zoltan Goliath and Otis Trench are masters of the avant-garde genre silent musicals for the imaginary stage, an art form sui generis....

We might expect LeftBrain deduced beliefs and monoculturing values
to develop a discontinuously co-arising energy and information base,
becoming  dualistically dysfunctional,
degenerative
of Earth's limiting fossil-fuel declining energy,
and yet with more reclining information supporting slow-growth
of recycling resources
such as...

——-Whispers———-
——-My angel, my love, held in this dangled glove——


Concupisscent, 
he deals in facts, got him stuck in my brain
Attacked and dressed to kill, 
commanding campaign
Hot blooded never ceased, 
leaves me within emotional chains 
has me...

spun himself about, he did
when she said what he wanted to hear &
then what came next was the torturous conclusion of a series of steps
ranging within the mind
which might have been going on the whole...

What defines us awes us
What sums up in this unending sojourn that we call life
Each offering different taste to us, depending on the façade that’s dominant
In this multifaceted itinerary, the valleys we must cross, 
The...

We are in 
the breeze 
with trees possible 
off the flying lake

look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office 
in back of the park

No back-to-back
or front-to-back
conversations
on old rocky route
where roots are not masked

Dogs...

I haven't washed my dishes or changed my cat litter,
Roaches cloud my conciousness,
Will I get roaches?
Cause once they infest you,
They're like a cancer,
Faces that don't smile,
Friends with deconstructive criticism,
Deconstructing one's sense of self,
As they infest...

The messiahs of my mind are savages,
Yet refined and noble, they withstand
The furnace of passing time that ravages
To carry news of global consequence.

With spears of destiny wrought electron blue
Their piercing travel sought focus eclectic,
Stimulating arcs...

My shelter, my Patriarch, that has showed the way for me,
Through great words of wisdom and personal misery.
I see the struggles and trials that he goes through daily,
Fighting the enemy by tooth and nail just...

I read that you should
love others as
you love yourself
Things got confusing
and I began abusing
because I equated
love for touching
and inserted feelings
so I began
the physical application
of what I was doing
which ruined the implicated
love I was meant to...

Traveling through the jaded discourse
With bartered pen and little remorse
Brandishing sharpened scalpel; tour de force
Unabashedly seeking all texts from lexicon to divorce

Developing underlying themes to alter the broader context
Freely abridging each verse to establish the...

Another anthology appears
Boldly boasting ballads.
Can't construct cinquain,
Ditto deconstructing didactic.

Easy efforts elevate essentially.
Fabulous frippery, fun, fauxmance.
Giving gifts ,gaiety, glory.
Hiding hyperbole ,hailing honesty.

I ignore idiosincricy.
Jubilant jeweled jots.
Krielle knowledge,
Luminates lovers learning.

Masters manage monoku.
No one notices nonsense.
Only ones own...

winter of discontent

contentious parade

snow man without carrot

flaked garrottes 

icicles frozen synapses

permafrost neurons

refrigerated transmitters

crystal clear rime


arrested thoughts

shackled straightjackets

locked trap door

key shielded in white

powdered in residue

remains of resolve


a hot water-bottle

crocheted blanket

passion under cover

bed springs awaiting

for another season

and...

Old Friends

Come, sit with me and share some idle talk,
Of cabbages and kings, of life and death.
Or else, perhaps, opining as we walk,
We could discuss some current shibboleth.
We’ll wile away the day just as we...

We cling to it,
We worship it,
Can never quite give it up,
It is never far away from our thoughts,
And it influences many of our actions,
Sometimes we lose it,
But seldom forever,
I suspect it is with us all...

Retreat into the shimmering sand,
with bare feet just drifting along.
Contemplating the waves, the wind
and the voices, follow them all.

Try not to think as you breath,
let go of that endless refrain.
Deconstructing the ways, the pain
and the...

Packing
Leaving 
Prose behind
Scheduled arrival
Gate and time,
Composing my poems
With rhythm
And Rhyme.
Abhor or adore
Musical style,
To some it comes easy
Others awhile.
Organic food
A matter of taste,
Like given talent
A pity to waste.
Considered tacky
Modernist denial
Romantic’s inspiration
Luring women for miles.
Four seasons the...
