Long Dodges Poems

Standing all alone in the woods;
eyes shut, I feel the lilting light.
Sun dodges needles through the crown,
beams land on my skin softly so.
Brisk breezes quicken and rustle.
Bristlecone pines ever sway slowly,
while pockets of air blush...

He plays throughout the house at night 
a braille touch for his lack of sight
and dreams of all the crippled things 
with broken legs and shattered wings.

The bandage on his wounded eyes 
will be there...

For some reason
I really like to drive,
and ever since I was sixteen,
when I get behind the wheel
feel free and alive...
Only once had an accident
when I was seventeen,
pulling out too fast of the driveway,
into my parents...

I SHOT THE PREACHER MAN™

The David in me shot the Goliath in the PreacherMan.
Arrant debacle of the anointed one
And dark child claiming identity of God's son.
Am just a little boy and not being punitive
But defiantly...

He could just ignore me
When I come to Him with fears
He could just disregard them
My worries, pains and tears
He could just discount them all
As simply silly or trivial
He could just forget me

The very softest forms 
Of martial arts
Tai chi 
It’s very similar to a dance.
You’re a dancer who dodges. 
And aikido
for when things get a little rougher. 

These seek to do no harm to a predator
To...

Her heart swells with ecstacy
When he plays basketball in scorching heat
Dodges the ball here and there
With a sly smile dwelling everywhere

Before scoring the goal, he lifts his head
Throws a glance where she with everyone, treads
Drunk,...

Step by step down the hall,
Head hung low, gazing down.
Healing from the fall,
hurt covered with a frown.
Others ignore him,
Drowning in the pain.
Holding you under, hope you can swim.
sitting alone in the rain.
He is an invisible...

Quake in the shoes
Worn to conceal smallness
So miniscule they feel blues
As they hate the greatness

Flying and plying its trade
Among the insecure
Who bully and raid
Any remedies meant to cure

Voices too faint
To discomfort the strong
Fed up with...

His attitudes defeatist, His posture is defense;
He longs to be accepted;
But He stays behind a fence.
   He dodges speeding bullets, He often rides the blinds
   He hides behind simplicity;

Fractured Storm

Ghostly gloom born in brooding stillness
Cut to smithereens with shards of energy
Whirlwinds in feral fragments shrillness
Warn of wild catastrophe.

Blinding firebolts erupt to split serenity 
Nightfall dodges crackling outbursts released
Platinum tempests burst electricity 
Splintered lights...

She says have a nice day,
Her words hard to find,
For she is not happy,
Feeling left behind.

Every so often,
Every now and then,
She dreams of a new love,
But where to begin?

She wakes in the morning,
To greet a...

The screen draws a hopeless biology

An image of an empty cleaner leaving downstairs
Why won't an idle client advertise?

What is innocence
Is it a little boy 
that pulls his toy 
fire truck down the street
And it follows him on a string
As he dodges empty beer bottles
And crack needles
Wishing his toy.

light finds a way in to chase a phantom's glow

begging and urging the spark to stay
