Long Desperado Poems

Wordsmith's Veneration...

Methinks, I post literary endeavors inxs
but tis with blood, sweat and tears
in case ye did not guess,
who struggles to craft reasonable rhyme
ideally read by a pleasing poetess.

Aye willy nilly understate (trying to)

Coloring smiling faces donned with faux missing teeth,
and waxing poetic lip schtick adorned with moustaches

Swarthy, spooky, scary carved
pumpkin faces thickly materialized 
out of thin air
as Halloween holiday loomed near
yes... just an innocently naive fickle kid,
who...

(A Presentiment: two lost Wint souls alone converse,
so mind the grown gap——Longshoreman’s Fall hearse.)

Aye willy nilly understate (trying 2)
tantalize, hypnotize, galvanize...
with "FAKE" trumpeting
spellbinding, rambling, quivering...

faculties of this nattering nabob
from outer limits of...

INTELLECTUAL DESPERADO

Dear desperado,
Knowledge awaits you tomorrow,
If you painstakingly throw 
And expedite yourself like an arrow.
Though your foresight looks narrow,

Don't leave your mind incommunicado 
Or famished cos at seashore is where ships row.
Ignorance makes devious innuendo,
rising in...

In one ghost whisper of a town,
the mourning sunset had bloodshot eyes
A tombstone place that was

she knew all the moves
Queen's Gambit

with her arms wrapping me

racing headlong into the wind

What does a young naïve Christian think
When a hooded desperado storms a prayer room,
His scary presence quiets the praying tongues ,
And his outlawed round replaces hope with doom?

He doesn’t think, instead he silently prays :

From the jukebox hidden near the bar
In a West Texas dance hall far

Nothing but have I upon this most
of auspicious moment to give

My total unreserved apologies and

Unto who whatsoever anybody
