Long Disconnects Poems

“50 Words for Poe: Numbers”



He was given a number
He counted the days
just number after number
Finally arrives the day he is free
The Nightmare never ends
He is not free to be He

His heart sits in a cell...

Remember when we believed a NYC street block was too far? 50th, 51st, 52nd, and so on... well, state boundaries stack those blocks, and now there are thousands, maybe millions, blocking. 
My preschool days taught...

The first invisible hand I saw, was the hand that appeared 
in the banquet hall of the Babylonian palace, inscribing 
letters on the wall, with its fingertip, 

the letters, written by the invisible visible hand,...

I’m broken
Not too much has been spoken
Of my alliance
Towards the silence
Evening corrupts me
Bleeding disrupts me
Contemplating the ending
Of relationships bending
I see sours grapes
Beyond her drapes
Of her eyes
In disguise
I have not feelings of remorse
For it was a...

The chilly North Pacific:
we build a fire for the moths,
a lamplight. Their wings, angry
with flames. Sky: dim and small.

In your standing stillness, you are
an old clock
that has run out of chimes.
The small hours of the...

From a galaxy a million light years or more

Descends a created soul's birth through the earthly door.

All pathways delineated on life affirming oath

Ego self chosen for spiritual growth.

From babe to child and through manhood.

Pre-destined goals...

You've been there for me during empty nights when I feel nothing 
I say I'm going to give you up, but you know I'm bluffing 
I'm ready for more of you as soon as you're...

The evening view reflects a part of me
Somewhere inside the purple clouds a giant sleeps
As I watch them float across a velvet sky
Colored by darkness fading into neon light
Beyond this horizon is a new sunset
As...

There are killings,
suffocation in gullet
hell holes, decapitations 
by mandibles stalking in shadows,
death pits at the bottom
of slippery throated flowers
and racked on a web,
a struggling moth
slowly turning into soup.

My garden is a slaughter
field littered with the...

What do I know of soul?
Nothing but its close conspiracy with death
As the soul disconnects and flies when we die.
The world's soul can be seen in the clouds,
And death looms and hovers high
Over this tumbling...

To The Wall
 
Computers, cell phones, mind disconnects as follows
Down in the deep, turned off, cut short
Where all signals underground have no reception
Desolate, only earth and rocks to greet us 
As door opened on the...

Tree Coming Down

I stood before the majestic pine in my yard
The squirrel hunched over stares back clicking and spinning his bushy tail
The blue jay screams because I am standing between him and a seedy swinging...

Your soul I can see through your eyes.
 My soul purified and at peace when I stare into your eyes. 
I realize the pulchritude of your being.
Fresh like green pastures. 
Your the lily in a...

In a flash, coals of darkness strike the night,
her teeth grating... pinched by a rage
screaming on walls that resound from her lungs;
her face spitting out a whorl of madness
in a verbal lash of ten or...

Cocooned 


Just like a butterfly trapped tight,

     her folded wings await the flight.

          Cocooned, she fears what to expect

You wake up
it's a new day,
more hate 
less love!

You feel you are getting stronger
yet your really fating away.
when all you want is a hug
you get stomped into the ground.

When all you want to hear,
are the...

When the brain inside debates 

When the storm inside abates

When sleepless nights assassinates

When the past creeps in and investigates

When ego surrenders and guilt arrests

When memories walk past but time awaits

When every thought inside procrastinates

When fear...

Thy life, once filled with laughter and with love,
now is only fated to be covered in regret,
for, when evil finds entrance to a heart, soon, will prove,
it disconnects the soul from all the kindness it...

Social media can be a great thing
It helps us connect with our friends and distant family
It educates us on issues around the world
That we aren’t able to see first-hand
It can teach us useful things, and...

Green

As the world becomes more green
With the greatest of intentions
For land and sea, the air we breathe
We are sick with new afflictions

Technology is to simplify
Yet connection, disconnects
Our communities of ‘The Walking Dead’
Are a loss of...

A blowfly, corralled within the glazed
enclosure of our kitchen, beats itself
against the glass, its dim brain
promising freedom each time it rams 
headlong into the fatal deception
of its compound eyes.

It doesn’t learn but keeps up
the pointless...

Sudden onset of an insertion
going for a kill in bluish green valley. 

Pretend as if you are dead
and start disintegrating.

Your poverty of words disconnects
you from cogitation and you start-

walking in sleep. Cannot reach
the breasts jutting...
