Long Dissidence Poems

Simulations and Symphonies

Discussing life inside a simulation
Amalgamating strife with signs of humiliation
Confronting life with positive configurations
An enchanting wife that doesn’t need invitations

Caring for what others naturally overlook
A watchful parent, a well written book 
Beauty that...

His head lifted, and looking for his brothers, 
He found his mum, sanely able again to relate to him, 
Cold, death-like figure, icy face, warm outline of a kin, 
Grieving, her brave face emanated hope...

Where does one begin to write,
away from the streets' nioses and children's screams,
forgetting those bouts of loneliness
that evade the inner peacefulness?
One starts with a pad, jotting down appealing ideas...
never having to fear they'll be lost.

Do You Have My Back? (Loyalty)

Earn my trust
Earn my allegiance
Allegiance professes commitment
Allegiance is pure dedication
Dedication proper and steadfast
Dedication allows peace of mind
Mind not at ease when lacking
Mind needs constancy
Constancy denotes dependability
Constancy communicates so not to...

Staring into the glass in the still dark of night
I can't see anything, pitch black, yet I know I caught a glimpse of your smile.
Banging in my head never ceases fire, but I force quiet...

The sunless evening is deprived
of its ardent and vivid colors,
the mischievous clouds
in their hastiness extend
their thin and tenebrous veil 
increasing my body's chill.

They intensify the dreary darkness
invading the lively landscapes under
a silent universe so distant...

Goddess of storm and dissidence, Lilith
begot by spurious legend and foolish myth
in the dark recesses of pastoral histories
where ancient mysteries
were defiled.

Illegitimate child.

inquisitional rules inquire, to her whereabouts
seeping fetid doubts, in the...

Wondrously divine in its transcendence
God’s love* affirms kindness of providence
Radiating tender mercy’s resplendence
Defying any counter evidence….
My heart does claim with grateful confidence. 

Marked by compassionate condescendence
Christ’s love is offered with heaven’s credence
Midst His sacrifice against...

The swords that speak in these bitter times
are the ones that draw blood with their nibs.
Commands written and signatures scrawled
take hefty tolls at the edge of sodden...

Being average is not enough for a reward,
resolve to do better and be a champion...
someone moving forward, not going backward;
keep your focus on resolution, don't lose direction.    


If I had done that,...

Take a breath for those who can no longer breathe,
Their hopes, lives suffocated by unjust hate,
Take a breath for those whose human rights dwindled,
By crude ignorance, while the truth was stifled
Take a breath for those...

Blue chips stared - boring
Appraising. 'Do you have anything 
to say?'
I stare back. Bristling. 
Eyes streaming.Of course I had opinions to 
offer -
I look around: solemn masks tinged with 
dissidence. My 
comrades - are we...

Please Indulge me still in your ardent ways
The dissidence of youth now a distant haze
That portrait of me still hangs in your hall
My shallow gaze paying no mind at all

The thick night air chokes a...

Eloquence and dissidence 
merge as one in my defense~

Open eyed, too blind to see, 
the root of my Divinity~

The sleepers shuffle in the dark, 
searching for their hidden spark~

Eyes turned out, they do not see,...

Inactions leading to thought
The search for what you wrought
A question of who you are
Answered blind because you bought

Small comfort in ignorance
Actions fade into dissidence
Numb comfort in denial
You can’t make out the mirror in the distance

Locking...

Bewitching of the falling hours, true ascendance found
By this chance to rise, I have real transcendence found
Your lips find a way to see me; two eyes make the voice 
No tears I shed, you're being...
