Long Demystified Poems

Flings and wings and rings rejected…
 Cupid’s arrows fly deflected…
“It clearly is too late” she signed, “to love, adore or pay me mind”

Penciled lines drew cruel conclusions
mocking mirror’s cracked illusions…
Sometimes, in time, I hang awhile,...

Dear Awakening Poet

Come, come and find me in my solitude
You shall see the hidden facet of this girl so prude
You shall see the real me
The wild side which I keep repressed for the sake of societal civility

Our Shame, 

"PRESIDENT" & "LEADERS" 

Full grown men,
old,
devoid of vision,
Lacking in wisdom, 
wicked weaklings 
protected by paltry paid gun men 
great grandfathers, 
unwilling to train Younger Leaders.
Untrained themselves in morals & reputation,
Liars,  
Tired &...

Like a bolt from the pit of hell you appeared
And stealthily like a thief in the night
You entered into our lives 
Disguising as our familiar foe
Masking your deadliness in controversy
And like the serpent in the...

Rythmic vibrations announce your presence 
Lain on my forest floor grave we string vision
Twigs produce laden pods with hidden houdinis
Never final spiral attaches leaving with giving

Listen to tidbits from beneath, decay's largess
Brittle as ripple's rise...

How different this place
this sanctuary feels, here
inside one’s head. Where
insidious illusions fondle
a subvert mind, and obscenities
resonate within the confusion,
when fidgety creatures, assume
guardianship of my preternatural
situation, scurry around my space,
creating lattice of fabrication
across the quaking ceiling.
My...

At 13, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
Brimming with youth and flamboyance.
With a myriad of of vying admirers, 
A family to love and to be loved back.
Her life was a blend of love,laughter and rebellion.

Then,all of a sudden,
Dragged...

She hears herself
in the distance
confess to undying love.
So out of touch
with loyal love to self.

The unholy ghost of him
demystified in mid-urn.
He is neither near, nor far.
No grave in which to turn
in rage, even if he...

You whisper softly to me
and I enchanted, respond to be
You whisper me from a distance
and I reply demure in silence
You whisper softly to me as your hazel eyes 
sing, revealing unsung tributaries, dreams and realities
Your...

ALL IN THE LEGS
Everything about Ekema was normal
Slim, Slender and Simple nothing special
But there was something about her motion limbs
They call it hot legs.

She wasn’t the fairest of ten thousand
Couldn’t be classed as beauty or...

This damned domain of dominoes destined to fall
This doddering diatribe deliberately designed
This dwelling damp as deadwintered Darlington
This deeper dream of dungeons and dragons

This desperate dirge of dying deliberations
This drum droll as December’s daylight done
This decorated...

Grind you down touchdown
Earth bound but for a moment
Pieces found a puzzle gleaming back at you

Tried but true, a burned cliché
All substance broken
Father of the lies stares back at you

Demystified a self, composed yet shatter...

The night sky that bade us bye
as the morning hue demystified;
that the stars had an hallucinating effect
eyes dilating to the heart's affect.

And now it beats and beats
like a babbling brook
like the rustling dunes
like the glistening...
