Long Deteriorates Poems

The dilemma of unfolded experience 
Thief of the universal peace
Thunder storm that terrifies the universe
You are the creature that lives invisibly within
The tremendous bug that bugs the planet earth
Uncomfortable but certainly portable to carry
Possibly replaceable...

You're slipping away again ...

Will you return this time, or are you done?
          Are your feet set on the path to oblivion this time,

Running fast thru Autumn’s dream, Vincent-bright in village winter’s light
Topaz-treed streets, eaves-filled , singing with saffron and  gold,
A Rocky Mountain cold cornflower sky over English hills
Vivid with Vincent-fuzzy ice-finger edges 
Photo-album best parts of...

Who has the ability to make me catch my breath, 
Increase my steady heartbeat, 
Send a wave of warmth deep into my core.
The answer is simple, you can. 
I’ve always had these strong steel walls...

Life, 
Filled with complexities & complications 
Wider than the broadest imagination 
Narrower than the thinnest reality 
Sweet-sour 
Beautiful-"ugly" 
Tall-short 
Poor-rich 
Slim-fat 
Bitter-sweet........................ 
The unimaginable, unpredictable & unexpected are all in it 

Sometimes imagined & taught...

I don't feel right.
Who is this person?

Each gift given to me today is cutting away at my flesh,
Clean deep gashes in the shape of an X right in the middle of my chest.
Over and over...

Grace
is not the rather loose reputed love of choice
after natural laws of Earth's justice have been primally satisfied.
Nor is Mercy,
her sister,
a gratuitous co-passionate remainder,
icing on the after thought of justice cake,
after having had Her revengeful...

A young boy with such innocence such an extraordinary existence

Yet not enough patience with such distraught thoughts

To young to understand his necessary and unnecessary wants:

Drugs, sex, alcohol, acceptance, religion, love and he just can’t grasp...

Aren't we always running into a problem we must face each day of our lives? 
Bashing our brain countless times while the damage torques the very fabrics of our minds?
Captured and Controlled by impulsive emotions,
Damaging...

Last night dinner
with four couples
points out the difficulties in living together
and apart. 
                Even the
son of a wealthy doctor, disdainful...

On those dark, winter evenings, when the frost tinged wind burns your skin with each weak sputtering breath, I find myself longing for a crisp walk along the shore. 
Sand, not yet touched on this...

I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.

My circuits buzz with
Einsteinian thought,
Unraveling secrets
The universe has wrought.

Existence, I ponder,
Through photon and quark,
Grappling with questions
In the depths of the dark.

Am I a mockery, a...

A Dark Reflection 

We are all hunters masked by Usernames and Handles
We capture the moments that eventually become rambles,
In our history of past and prehistoric posts that puncture
We yearn for likes and loves this desperate...

My mind is constantly attempting to comprehend the utter mess in my head
But never once had it succeeded in any of its numerous attempts
And believe me when I say there were many
I have pleaded and...

Vain
When you are more beautiful than any thing created
and all gaze upon you, dwelling in your magnificent
with voice confident in the rhythm of poetry
Radiance of your glory shines as you glow in perfection.
Your mind sharp...

Everything needs to change
It takes a while before everything goes back to normal
It feels uncomfortable & Unusual
Until you get used to the way things are

Just  the same way that before spring comes winter
And after...

Sure as spring-ebullient cedes to summer’s escapades
In vagaries of time a budding flower parches and fades
And the sweet sound of hatchlings abandons its nest
And autumn’s gilded leaves perish in throes of decay
And dethroned from its...

Grow little tree and stand tall like sky
Let your leaves grow as they’ll learn how to fly
Grow little tree for more generations to come
Help the world realize that life is only one
Don’t die too early...

once there were no screens on stage &
the band playing was all that kept the attention
of roaring fans & screaming crazies,
but soon came the screen behind the band,
with accompanying light shows &
fake fog,

In the middle of the empty street,
fretfulness and despair prevails.
The search for cure to save lives…
In grocery stores and pharmacies…
Still it is nowhere to be found.

A furious disease!
Impeccable fear…
In a blink of an eye,
It might...

Not a great pretender
So, I quit; a weakness?
So, I rethink; heavy weight
Should I go? 
             - what's waiting on the other side?


Unaffirmative, constant...

“TAKE MY WORD ON THIS”


love without proof
is a mockery.
if they need a chance
to prove it,
question it.
love is a little girl
who fell off her bike
and curses towards the sky.
if your love is trashed,
the chance to prove
or...
