Long Dog tired Poems

Nauseating buzz feeding frenzy at local ATM

Fraught traumatized wordsmith

particularly experienced every Halloween.

Though dog tired
ready for the nocturnal sandman,
but before succumbing to countless winks
namely, quintessentially, telepathically 
fictitious mythical...

Pain is a solitary shaft of sunlight
piercing the fathomless depths of a wishing well,
reflected off the tin-can shards in dark prismatic waters,
refracted spears of realisation and the blinding truth they tell.
Looking backwards with somnambulistic vision

Life is comparable
To a sports event in a game; 
Like a race, it has both
A beginning and an end.

Similar to an athletic match, 
Rules are observed by each player; 
All are required with certain codes

He'd been out late on some errands, buying stuff he needed;
Came home dog-tired, ready to shower and stretch,
Put his key in the door, and received

They saved him in the nick of time,
By a heart attack, from biting grime

By divinity, a pirate gave up ghost
With “heart” his heart to find a host!

The heart’s cage they cut it through
Infused heart to...

Worldwide not just in Mexico
No matter if it's one hundred or ten below
Always set to go
Ready to shred a foe
From head to toe
She thought she did but she would never know
Because the thought...

A Palindrome Tale

The travel, it was joyful, my love life was a bust
I met a girl in Tulsa, next day my diary read
A slut...

He curls himself into a ball 
Underneath some old newsprint 
Alone, depressed and drunken

Parallel went the universe someplace along the line
When autumn French-kissed winter with tongues of leaf and ice;
The lamp-posts dripped drab amber with a dark and dreary shine,
A devil's brew of garnished sleet, elemental egg-fried rice.

Wars suck
Often unfair instead of more just
Through problems can't always take a shortcut
If it serves no benefit, it's not worth much
For what?
I don't need to ride any tour bus

Man, it’s been four long dog years!
Forlorn doggone tears
of toil 
and trouble

It’s a flee collar fact,
this feels like forty years
of Sirius jaw smack:

Loss leader of the pack
has got a Cujo shifty,
barf shuffle

Spit pissing

An old tennis ball
near your resting head
waits patiently for a sign, biding its time.

Sunday’s sleek playground rocket
is Monday's slumbering sentry
dog-tired from yesterday’s triumphs.

Rescue dogs rummaged
Trade Center rubble undaunted by danger
Nine-Eleven just another reason to please,

and...

The day is ending, and time is one hour back but 
the day still serves early twilight
From the window of a tourist resort, I see the mountain range
I lived beyond, in a village...

I was running up the mountain, 
Just dog tired,
Suffering,
My mind drifting 
Between the Infinite Rift.
My Aumakua (spirit animal) stops on a branch nearby.
He starts to chirp a mile a minute.
I cannot understand him.
For a second...

7:00 AM
my eyes small and tight
a soft shuffle into the bathroom
distorted and jaded,
a half frown on my face
a dog-tired grunt serves as my good morning

8:00 AM
my consciousness brings stress, anxiety
a checklist in my head

I’m a man whose tired and worn
Empty and dead on my feet,
Petered out, played out, pooped and torn
Burn out, broke down and beat.
Drowsy, droopy, drooping drained
Dog tired, done in, done for,
Exasperated, enervated empty faint
Overtaxed, overworked...

Regrets

In the town stood a house, in the house lived a man,
Alone with his dreams of what might have been,
If his life had gone to plan

A wife, a home, a family, but it was not...
