Long Deeping Poems

Remember Me

Cold wet coastal today
I escaped
Sat myself behind a sanctuary
The rain beating rhythms
On window panes
Hot coffee and brandy
Warm inside The Athena Café

Radio spends its missed tuning
Hissing tinny tunes
Love songs
Of losing
Love songs of having
Love sings
Of wanting

Blank...

The Sun is Shining upon me and the heavens is rolling all over me show me your heart and the message that it bears as it circles around the hemisphere,
it is not speaking to the...

A face that you see everyday
That same reflection that you curse in various ways
Punished for hard living
Praised for innocent givings
Untoucheables repeatedly charmed
Because we are have-nots, we are seated and alarmed
White roses, clear caskets, and black...

Sitting on the old black oak, where we used to fish together,
lost in the past, I think back, and remember a better day.
You wrote to me about your new ship, and new friends,
and your new...

I love coffee
Always have

And coffee has loved me back
But lately I have sourced on her
Soured on the whole coffee scene

On the harshness of the morning...

Another late night at work,
Another long night in a full house alone,
Another time with him at the bar,
Another early morning of drunk irrationality.
Our children grow in a factured home,
Not even the strongest of tapes can...

Rain gently falls from clouds above
Upon a couple new in love
Who under red umbrella hide
To walk the puddled path outside. 

     Now ponder all the varied bends

As they fill me with that delicacy
Wetting my inside short of decency
Deeping their lips together with their tongues 
Warm lips,sweet lips  and pink tongues

Hot hands caressing my outer side
Smoothie fingers screwing my waist
Dabs of...

I am the darkest
The night silence 
Sleeping on your lips

I am the shadow
Dreaming
The call in voiceless
Speaking

The brooding penumbra
Which cast upon your heart
The desire
Of the stars

I am the following footstep
Some ghost
On which your path
I tread

The burning...

I
There was a Roamer,he was deeply sick,
Debt to th'immenseness of his gift:
He has so power as to be weak,
They were so freely as to be not lift.

Thus his fate with bless could not be shift,
And...

I stand here waiting on the sun.
The day seems short and nights are long
I'm left alone to ponder all I've done.
When every path I've taken turns out wrong.
Still I must press on to find my...

...fiery the angels fell...


A lost train bound for November 
lonesome wail of an engines whistle
Slicing through the night
Souls Destined for the rim of forever 
casting from the light
Its shadows move across frozen 
wastelands lost and...

A dampened spray; a slapping sheet
Tar and gravel; my bare feet
A windy view of rooftop world
The deeping sky with clouds unfurled

An outlined fort of broken bricks
A winding lane of artists' tricks
The army of the parking...

Clarity



So crystal today
So very clear
Dusted hazes vanished
Horizon sharp expansive
Chooses from shoreline colour
To blue sea tranquile
Flecked by yacht white sails
Cleaned
Pristine


Auburn Hair


Whitewashed silver sun draws crisp
Edged shades of mornings
Cool breezes shimmer
Palm leaves eager spruced and washed
Beneath the...

Stars spark from a deeping, clear, blue winter sky as 
the moon prepares to enter the scene, stage left.

A breeze sweeps away the last blushes of sunlight and 
evening caroling-bells, ring like wind-chimes.

The evening chill...

Deeping Sad Blue Pools of Light

Could they have looked on Caesar
From their serene and lofty Dales
And left him to his Fate?
So patiently to wait forever
In their sweetly scented Woods
Just to appease Her?
And plead for chances...
