Long Demonstrative Poems

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian

This terror and threat to poetic clarity,

Words do count for sure, but so does
Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

Encryption can be used to mask...

Book cause I spend an inordinate amount of time reading...

As a hypothetical argument 
yours truly doth not aim

of misguided, misjudged, and mislaid blame,
nevertheless I make dubious claim

Dorothea, was that truly her name?
 Does it matter after all these years
 so long passed the heartache of a child's tears?

This tale remembered from a lifetime that unwinds
 once forgotten and lost without reason...

"It is to be..."  A bold statement!
Demonstrative for it's not preceded with "If."

More of a command as if delivered by the Word of God,
or the promise...

Predetermination of Lovers

Proactive on the lips of such sensual passions
Scavenges through follicles design
To written archangels of expression

Such are the hungry beats and pulses that evolve
In contemplation
Of Amours encounter with her skin

Countenance and coveted demonstrative 
Spills...

A letter to Sweden

Every year, I say, Come August, I will travel to Sweden
but when I go to buy a ticket, the price has gone up and

Illustrious? Too sophisticated.
Advanced? Sounds too modern.
Awkward? Not in the mood yet.
Animalistic? A nice ring, bereft of a special ring.
Will consider it for later though. Jotting it down now.

I could cut up some onions. I got...

sending with them her spirit and soul to fly away, meet

An instrument of beauty,
poetry is art at its best
with its verses of passion
penned with love
in assorted and variegated
metrical composition
with sublime and
aesthetically satisfying flow.

It is a creative exposition 
that unfolds and enlightens
with enchanting constructs 
the demonstrative...

We each must believe in something to exist

Whether self is king or that in certain vice
To delegate a chance or that in some roll of the dice
Some our content in stoic & mundane
Wile others our...

From the very depths of my inner being I cherish  poetry,
without the written verse I’d  be impoverished as a person,
literary projects spur me on to otherworldy epic peaks,
an open channel with furtherance from...

Easy to entrance the sycophants watch their helpless dance their back and forth swaying and swooning, in cunnilingual somniloquence.
Droning and drooling with flattering and fawning, turgently swelling, spouting placating pleasantries, a mess of gushing adulation.

The “never will” is sometimes . . .
left alone;
and the never said . . . never happened;
and so who shall ever question?

The “never will” can be:
the never did, 
the never can,
the never could,

You say it seems that I'm hiding something-
Maybe its my answers;
Or that when you asked, I said nothing.

If in need of explanation,
here’s my summation;
my trust has reached stagnation-
I learned don’t trust what isn’t well known,
And...

The splendor of her soul augments my interminable desires
Every osculation is a demonstrative of our unfurling fires
To say a tall tale might be my tormentor forever
To her my wobbling hands never says ever

SMEARED MIRROR

Looking dead at me 
in this smeared mirror...

a lost man
tormented 
face red
brittle with tears

making excuses 
abusing
as I glare

and a demonstrative stare

a guilty reflection appears
in this...
