Long Douses Poems

I roam at home, all alone

On the ground above your deathbed, your-your wretch-tainted tombstone
Watching the ticking bombs of ancient...

Make me feel whole once more
Lead me to your eternal...

As rippling horizon
douses fiery orb,
you are at your
most alluring.

Ethereal,
diaphanous limbs
stretch out,
reach for me,
beckon to me.
Barely audible murmurs,
laced with
forbidden promises,
cross the distance
between us.

Whispers become
more insistent,
more urgent,
more pressing.
Begging, cajoling,
pleading, coercing,
demanding that I come to you,
that I give...

A living, groaning edifice of lumber and bureaucratic despair—
Where Allen Storm, the paternal prodigal of procedural pedantry,
Treads upon its creaking floors with the rigor of a misfiled memo,
And...

From a family that was long dysfunctional.

With empty capacious cauldrons 
the living entities arrive arrogant, 
and depart organically desolate.
In between they turn into

the unearned fortunes,
getting sucked spellbound 
within the abyss of cravings.

In the innate inferno...

	Like dark dull nights need kisses of moon light,
	Like the earth needs the warm touch of sunshine,
	Like rolling wind embracing floating clouds,
	And...

My fantasy was spawned from her
Her eyes have drawn me to the Vermillion light
Witnessing the gaze of a glistened perfection
Midst the whirl of Gemini
Bedazzled whirl of Mercury's kindred spirit
Enthralled by the ascending clarity
She douses me...

As the scurrying clouds clashed and broke
Sparks of light cut instant pathways
Thunder stamped across the darkening sky
Like an enraged beast, violently hurt

Witnessing this accident of a collision,
The sky’s bosom heaved in suppressed pain
In her sunken...

you seethe inside in the inferno of anger.
The twisted tongue throws out raging words,
charged with the toxin of your venomous mind. 

The sanctity of sane sense turns into
fury embers...

Glass Dolls

Glass dolls in glass houses.

mountains tumble
across the horizon 
twisting the last splinters 
of warmth
through heavy hanging 
gray soup 
listless lifeless 
endless sigh
dogs roll over

fluttering chimes
cool breeze
sweet pungent earth 
enlivens lungs 
ocean cracks 
spills sheets
steams stainless...

Silver flashes through ocean swells
