Long Double back Poems

Yeah, I am, very faithful.

My question begins with, why do men cheat? 
Now I know women cheat too, but right now, I’m talking about the men. So like I said, “Why do men cheat?”

First and...

WHEN SANTA CAME TO BENARTY
Santa came to Benarty
One cold and stormy night
The snow and clouds that gathered
Made Santa ground his flight.

He landed behind the graveyard
In Dallas Doyle Park,
He came down with such a loud crash
He...

You love to double dare,
double down
Raise the stakes and double the bet
You love to double dip,
double back
Lower the cage and shark bite thru the double mesh net
The risk of getting caught
is part of doing the...

Go and play golf with a melon ball. Go on. It's great. No don't cut it into segments. How on earth are you going to hit it with the club if you do that? Right,...

WOULDN’T   IT   BE   NICE
 
You’re walking near the run-down end of downtown
And you see an old woman selling flowers, hand-picked, maybe worthless weeds, 
Or rejects from an uptown florist’s,...

Harry the hedgehog was wandering by
Looking for a spot where he could fly,
This is quite serious cause hedgehogs you see
Well, they sort of wobble along just like me.

He wobbled along till he came to the...

Come with us Halloweening.
We’ll frolic in the streets.
We’ll race from house to house to house
Spouting  “Trick-or-Treats.”

And eagerly we’ll each collect 
Confections in a bag.
Fellow ghouls, we’ll abandon you
If you even start to lag!

No slackers...

I see all things as a pattern

to be recognized and reckoned with ideas 
that are wise all things that can be 

seen and unseen 

I recognize the units that fit 
the things that slide neatly...

Shadows on lipstick
The pink is turning gray
Flakes in the corners
But I still have to pay
She said she was the best 
Not ten years long ago
I’d pay double back then
But I don’t want to love her
I...

How do we know when we're too far lost to double-back?
Left with the realization, that we may suddenly lose it all.

We constantly seek perfection, even when perfectly content.
Our interests that devoured hours, abandoned in mere...

Oh, that's it, Keko. Pass through. Go ahead. 
Just walk across my books without a glance, 
with all that arrogant insousiance 
of yours, encoded in that languid tread. 

No, never mind that I've been up...

Gut Gripes
There is a man who eats hand grenades.
They go Kaboom! in his big fat belly.
You ask why does he eat them?

He's got a slight indigestion problem.
A trip to the doctors gave no joy.
As did...

She stopped her car and walked a mile
Finding a place familiar but new
Shortest jog through the mist and fog
Reminds her of a younger day when cares of life did not exist, as if they ever...

Black lips vibrating for the right mix
Black lips kiss with a passion, Black fistfight for our past and future sons
bloodshed lies spilled
Black lips start to peel
slaving for a meal, time standing still, life flying by

The Day you came to his life as sparkle sunshine…
He had one more day to cherish it with wine…

From the day of your existence he was always there for you…
Just he wanted you to bloom...

Last evening there was a sense of restlessness,
I wasn’t able to grasp why this abjectness;
The sun was slowly dying in a goodbye to a father,
The pain once again manifested my grief to gather;
I wish he...

Questions in Monologue




The roads getting rough
Twisting and spurning
Got some fuel left
But is it enough?


Should I double back?
Should I carry on?
Leave the path completely?
Or just break down?


Stretching my legs for the long walk
To get back from...

They swarm from a hole in the ground
Some running left some right
Some straight ahead others double back

They charge they bustle chaotically frantically
Can this be their last day?
Is there a plan? Maybe it’s just a panic...

Several days of agony; 
Last night...almost doubled up. 
Moaning in pain.
Even through pain killers. 

Phoned dentist: Appt. at 2.40...
Timed it badly. 
Started out; it was raining. 
Had to double back and change. 

Was almost late....

When on the path of poetry I tread,
I rarely know the scenery I’ll find.
I hear a bird that sings inside my head
and measures steps iambic in my mind.

At times it seems a mountain that I...

your face
tells its own story 
the heartache, the confusion

you have the rare chance to make 
your own decision 
without outside influence 
you are on the ledge 

the choice to leap 
or double back and get...

Tale of too Hollywood

Two pages into the Twilight.
No lies, cannot see the light,
I realise the lies salivating on Pennywise's venomous lips.
Dust to dust, friends can become enemies as much as they are family.

Two cigarettes into...

As time goes by, the anguish shall abate.
To double back my trail, to hide, to wait
for an unwelcome love to go away.

Long distances can quench the wanderlust,
but lust of wonder. Wonder is a must,
but lust...

An ant was dragging an insect, 
At least 3 times its size.
Though desiccated, still it seemed
Like quite a lucky prize.

I watched its steady progress -
It would heave a bit and stop,
Hurry forth without its burden,...
