Long Dells Poems

"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"


The Sleeper
shone as she walked 
through the Woods

shining alive 
like nothing
natural could

caught 
in the moonlight 
unaware

the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,

"beware, beware"

barefoot softly 
the Supernaturalist 
transfigures instead

from under shine 
she bares...

Designed Evolution?
 
As Blue Sky’s dreams take root in fields like Daffodils
That blossom knowledge Love does serve all human souls,
Their truth grows wild across our lands! Oh, every crevice touches strands
Where Evolution has a chance...

Swept up into piles; everywhere 
Abouts; in collected heaps all 
Around.               
It is almost as if the drab 
Streets were strewn...

Dear global leaders - keep on rockin' in the free world
after implementing long overdue criminal justice reforms,
especially affecting marginalized groups of people.

I vote for more lenient, progressive and tolerant treatment
towards undocumented immigrants, plus implementing
a humane...

I heard the dreadful Dryad's scream
As axe bit into woody flesh
The sap oozed out as scented cream
My veins stood out in rictal mesh

My wits all scrambled left me quick
My hands and face were full a-sweat
My...

twelve miles of useless... road 
if you want to call it that
so washed out, rutted, and rocky that
usually you drive around it
three beers to go such a tiny distance
hay meadows across the creek 
always teaming...

> In the beginning there was God Part two.

Back to God, one day you know.
In one place in that space. 
He found one rock.
It was neither cold or hot.
With that He decided then to play.

Her hair- black as a raven’s breast 
   Eyes glowing through orbs of green 
She dances covertly in the dark of night 
    Where not another soul is seen 
Warbling...

Dear Lori, my lady, my darling divine
My vision of beauty, my radiant shine
More precious to me than the tulips you bring
That opened for me in the sips of my Spring

Your lips are the dells of...

Arthritic Vision Ponders Dementia's Dreams of Love's Future!

I’m a fool for you, dear one, if weakness, my choice,
As a man, though redundant, a poetic voice!
I’ll rain showers of kindness (won’t blitz your parade),
And have umbrella...

"The Pavane" 

Autumn leaves
whistle nonchalantly
along the left-behind

paths of serendipity
hesitantly touch fingers
lightly for a while, tipping

lost in the wastelands
winter beckons 
love unconditionally

magic listens
and arrives
in the laps go-lightly

of racing hares
tossed salad years
and marshmallow dreams

of servile tortoise
pleasantville sown...

In dells and great glens groups of happy orphan children run and pick bunches of flowers,
They smell them, weave them into posies and garlands, they are blessed by angels in heaven,
And all these children are...

black horsemen came over the hollows and dells
no one heard them coming
and there was no sign that they had crossed over the hills
they come bearing the news of chaos and disease
you could hear the bells...

The Saint John River rolls along 
Under skies of baby blue, 
Touching lives of country folk 
Just the way it used to do 
Before the war to better times, 
When steamboats churned and church bells...

Paws on pilgrimage, a faithful friend
Walked beside his master, 'til journey's end
But Pandharpur's crowds, a moment's distraction
Loyal companionship faced subtraction

Ten days of travel, now lost in a blink
Human hearts are heavy, beginning to sink
Searched high...

He reached for me, 
my hand, 
and I felt every grain of sand drain off my shoulders. 
Letting go the weight of every secret and broken heart string.

I breathe, 
the air filled with tidal waves...

The Hacker


Vodka
Used Dells and HP notebooks
Routers and switches
Gateways and sniffers
Kvm boxes and multi real-time data shows

My booty is plenty
No one knows the white mask of mist
They only know some monies are amiss
Bots and trojans and...

She lowers her legs down -
the woman.
I try to recall a name, three come to mind, they don’t fit
with the blue flowers on her inked ankles,
Alpine Gentians I think,
they ring around slim ceramic hued bones.

Woodland dells, giant trees
Swallows swoop, defying breeze
Jump to sailors and tattoos
What part of time is a ruse
The fact a tree, outlives a man
But cannot hope or devise a plan
Has no say on where it stands
Can...

The 'tock', 'tock', 'tock' of the station clock, 
the clickety clack of the board. 
Telling the time and destinations 
but no one to cry 'All aboard!'
The 'bang', 'bang', 'bang' of the carriage doors, 
the shrill...

Loving you lady, is more than divine
You light up my life in a radiant shine
You love me apart from my seat in the shade
You capture my heart with your sweet lemonade

Your lips are the dells...

Let us put together a montage
Of aromas…In our minds

Perhaps of Juicy Fruit gum
Perfume, sweat or of Roses
Of rain on hot pavement
Of tar, surf and the Seaside
Of candies, pastries baking
Of gun smoke…and loam
And any and every...

Loving you lady, is more than divine
You light up my life in a radiant shine
You gracefully go in the gold of the day
To follow the flow of a bold river way

Your lips are the dells...

Fall Caressing fair autumn Blessings.

Sweet orbs of Green or burgundy Seen
