Long Directionless Poems

The  road  to my hometown was  a  long, and arduous one.
I  loved  the walk ,and the privacy  it  gave  me.
My  mind  was  awash...

The present world is rubbish...

It isn't a world of 5 oceans, 7 continents and 10 scores of nations
NO, ITS NOT...
Its a world ...

..of a million cries, of a billion pains, of a trillion losses,

..of firing...

Imagine.

The canvas is enormous, bigger than you or I.
The brushes are many, 
Though the hues are only five: three primaries and two shades.
I am the painter of my canvas.

Older canvases, like the art of painting,...

It amazes me
They say all men were created equally 
But that’s denied throughout history
Theirs starts with constitutions revolutions and bravery
They tell us ours is gangs chains and slavery
It’s pretentious 
And I’m offended
You started the race...

The Storm  by Jennrut

Soiled

Drum drum drum drum...
A pained, wet leaf 
saturated by the storm's reverberating  pressure.
Compacted, 
Smothered by heavy soil which consumes it
Weighted by shadows of familiar clouds. Deadening, 
Rotting. 

A Reprieve 

Unable...

This new age technology
Have me confuse I must confess
Cause while I spending more money
Everything else is getting less

I will give you some example
Hope you don’t get depress
But if I’m telling the truth 
Just answer and...

A hurtful event occuring 
Covering all of the land.
Outside when I opened my eyes I saw nature crumbling 
Crumbling down as the sun sets.
The wind came from mountains 
Reached the ocean.
They ended their journey 
But...

In commemoration of your eighteen years
I will weave you a story fit for all ears
Of a special girl who is very much loved
A precious gift who was sent from above

A fallen angel who we are...

How can I supposed to flew
Am following by the ghost of you
It pulling me back
To the feelings am trying to pack
And I failed in telling myself
That you are gone, have to bleed alone

Where do I...

A lapse of judgment, a tempest of rage;
A crazy obsession, to not be assuaged.
Aggression triggered by an avoidance of life;
Anger transmitted by internal strife.

A malignant cancer, that blankets the soul;
Aimless, directionless, irrational goals.
Misunderstandings, needs to...

It's hard to believe that was the "tame side" of the church when I was growing up. I can only imagine what it was like in its heyday. For reasons I still can't explain, the...

Morning Sun calls from behind the occasional cloud above seeking those willing to rise and face the drudgery of yet another day’s fruitless effort. Uninvited rays of warmth intrude upon my slothful desires finding me...

When lost in the woods
one wanders lugubriously directionless
in the weeds vines and branches
obstructing the altogether magnificent world
that abounds and surrounds
the muddled mind of the soul-filled seeker:

Truth traveler and mystical unraveller
plodding ahead confused in dread
of what...

“Love is a power so strong, yet if compressed without
 outlet, it is as good as stagnant waters"---by poet


 As we roamed under the star spangled sky, 
Sharing many a trivial thought
I failed to voice...

(or, "Your Old Stomping Ground")

There’s a secretary that I know
whose husband recently died
But life somehow continues as before
She has to keep replicating the myth
that everything’s all right –
A savant of the copy machines
A mannequin in...

Now engulfed by silence, with my thoughts must I contend
trying to avoid the abyss, a state of loneliness to descend
being in touch with my feelings, I have become confined
thinking to escape, despite being directionless and...

"Dodging Karens"


So easily time is merely wasted
Hidden or in fine print, not always clearly stated
People often irritated
You and your bull leaves me infuriated
Stomach such a serious statement
Every day I'm severely faded
Damage being done, much deteriorated
Disappointed...

Come out with me in the shadowtime,
And we'll dance together in slow rhythms
Sensuality crawling over our flesh
As we feed one another 
On the rich fare of warm dreams
Dredged up from the dark
To consume ourselves in...

Persuasion's possessive verses
'midst absolute poetic madness
surrendered in rhapsodic poesy,
poets are a tidy sum of quirky &
care zilch of external perceptions,
content to breathe 'round seduction
and unicorns' phantasmagoria
insomuch nonsense amid candor,
directionless winds 'neath allegory
'pon posies and dragon's...

In this War of Attrition

who knows just

whats going on?

who knows what

lies in waiting

beyond the Great Beyond

who's the man behind the curtain

can I take a peek

just a look to be for certain

out of curiosity

A defenseless seed planted in spring's tempestuous furrow
Nourished with fertile juices; warmed in caressing burrow
Escaping subterranean cavern into formative strand, roots still 
shallow  
Sprouting into a strappling seedling that doth hope, promise bellow

In sweltering, summer...

Is  everything an illusion? 
Am I an illusion? 
Are you an illusion? 
Wish the world around me an illusion 
        
Everything is blurry 
Fireflies everywhere

The river that I ride upon in my beleaguered boat,
Is filled with rancid artifacts that slid from dreams remote.
Directionless I roam alone within my dreamy sores,
While honesty of destiny leaks from my putrid pores.

Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among...
