Long Derailing Poems

To my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme U.S. Savior,

I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.

In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified...

Dr. Zebediah Killgrave, male, human species, 5'11', normal weight.
born in Rejeka, Croatia, charismatic, a physician turned international spy. 
On a mission to infiltrate a chemical factory, he is doused with an unknown
chemical (pheromones) that...

The uniform on the floor was to be washed, dried then ironed but the scones that the pig ate meant that a walk to some hidden caves was achieved but only after the recycling was...

Once the dream was to make America the shining light of the world 
a caring and compassionate country with opportunities for all

Might help explain how fruit
full this harmless poetic brute,
(a Methacton School of hard knocks
grad), who sports astute
demeanor with ample
brew netted locks,
vaguely androgynously cute,

his trademark signature hirsute
unstyled wavy hair
tell tale characteristic,
not that I care if anyone

She pirouettes at the hall of fame,
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight
As silky red wings are in glaring flame,
She pirouettes in the hall of fame
Red Swan of Night is Paulette’s name.
While audience applause from left to right,
She...

No one will remember 
all the names of the bodies
laying in pools of blood 
in all those back alleys
and side streets
burned out warehouses
and by-the-hour motels…
They don’t talk about them…
Cause their lives don’t matter…

All those bodies...

I was gonna do this, then gonna do that
But I lay with the dog instead
It's Sunday, still only 10am
I really should get out of bed

I have ordered a food processor 
To give purpose to my...

Dear God, I know you are real busy up above,
But could I have a moment to talk to you;
Things are not so good here, we could use some love,
You sent your son for us,...

Head pounding
Heart breaking
you feel that shake
the earth is quakeing
"I will stand alone"
What the hell was I thinking
Ending every chance for friendship
See all this hate I've been making
I seek forgiveness
A new quest I'm taking
But to open...

I was held up
Against my will;
Addicted to pains and aches I still felt
Inside my cracked bottles of hells and paradises;
I keep doing my best when I rest and wake,
But sometimes I just can't feel
Because of...

Pathetic, the word I just can't seem to outrun
it beats me to alley-way exits, creating dead to ends, enclosed places
Defeated, it might as well be the twin
The effects, they refuse to cease yet love to...

Anger so deep it penetrates, agitates and aggravates
Feeling so helpless, clueless and ruthless
Knowing my physical pain and the flaw in my brain is like a derailing train
Wondering why no one cares and no one is...

I am what you call a hopeless 
romantic,
But im also a lost lovers cause, my 
heart belongs to another
Yet in my head a love triangle starts 
to form, the girl I love doesn’t love 
me
She...

I woke up alone
By my side my phone
In the wee hours of dawn
With nowhere to journey
The jostles, the hustles gone
All I am doing is imagine

My small empty town
All waiting for the rain
To live normalcy again
This...

Leftover moods hovers over my sea of emotions
As I give it all over to you and yours.
As I hold my cascading escapade in my emphatic empathy
As I behold my belittled diminishing luminance
As you suck the...

Anonymous and forgettable I wander
Blinded by regrets I forever ponder
Culpable to say the least for derailing
Detached but enmeshed with failing
Entertaining other ways of being
Frogmarching self to edge isn't freeing
Gracefully I should accept and recede
Hide in...

Here I wait, only for my love.
Still I feel hate, Im so close to the edge, do you dare shove?
Hope is wasting away, faith is failing.
Sorrow will always stay, my mind is derailing.
As she held...

"Lo! the dolphin dotes laughs
My passion is the maritime coast
'Ocean!' said I, 'thing of seawater.'
Oceans dolphins 
In a kingdom full of coastlines
Eagerly I looked for the seaway
I crave the marine, more mare
That up bound jellyfish...

Captivated By His Words
By: E. C. Almonte (Apples&Eve)

A strong couple once molded cannot be separated. 
The world we live in is beautiful. 
It’s we who create these deceitful ways. 
The four layers of bright light...

It was one year ago
The first poem I wrote
I picked up a pen
In my efforts to cope

It was one year ago
I was in a dark space
Stuck between a rock
And a very hard place

It was one...

Words....are the last thing interpreted inside this problem,
of unjust flames turned black, from burning so long
same old songs sung, which have only begun
but linen sagaciously, from two prodigious beings seen beaming
gleaming in luster called humiliation,...

Trudging the tracks,
Counting each stake,
For one has it season of takeless respiration.
Date-
Dressed for destiny fate,
With single eye gleaming illumination.
Full throttle ahead.
Paralytic instant,
Jiffy spring of dazzling bright.
Prophesying  visions,
Told in quarter flash interval,
By injunction demand of...

Trees bending overhead, shadows fully employed
Fish resting 'neath the surface, their camouflage enjoyed
Abundant insects frolicking, diving and skimming the stream
Predators hungrily watching, nature's bountiful cuisine

Anglers stealthily wading, with implements designed
Perilous imposters, dancing on a line
Imitation...
