Long Douses Poems

The land of roses of poses 
I roam at home, all alone
Then, I find that you're on your own...I place rainbow roses
On the ground above your deathbed, your-your wretch-tainted tombstone
Watching the ticking bombs of ancient...

Thunder 

From hills in the distance
Comes the roll of thunder
Soon raindrops are spotting
His mind turns to wonder
The sky flashes brightly
In vivid white and blue
He knows in a short time
This storm will break through

Above clouds are...

I dreamt of embracing the abyss
Wake me up to an open door
Illuminate me with positivity

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

Our hearts of love is but a fire and ice I can’t suffice
It’s a kind of love, a type thereof, with a high price
A price, I, unfortunately, cannot completely afford
Not to mention all these sick...

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...

From a family that was long dysfunctional.

Of the guitar and my lyrics.’
She pushes her...

With empty sack the entities arrive and depart 
In between turn into greed slaves to grab
Sucked within the abyss of temptation
Love can bestow the heavenly satisfaction of giving.

In the inferno of temporal corporeal passion ...

I need you, O my Sweet Lord God
	Like parched land thirsting for fresh rain,
	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...

Spring trips will be all lively in untamed life. 
Times whims will erode a flourishing nightlife.

Superb sound of hatchlings leaving to rife.

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...

With empty capacious containers 
the living entities 
arrive arrogant 
and depart desolate,
in between turn into 
greed slaves to snatch
the unearned fortune,
getting sucked spellbound 
within abyss of temptation.

In the inferno of 
corporeal passion temporal,

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...

In your blazing blood-shot eyes I see
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...

Silver flashes through ocean swells
sound ripples across the water
strolling the moonlight kissed water
surrender to nights sensual promise
foam breaks, mermaid soars resplendent
cobalt teal diamond skin shimmers
powerful tail propelling her way
phosphorescence trails behind
sea sparkles flitting in her...

“Forgiveness is divine fountain”

I see in your glaring eyes, 
you’ve an inferno of anger within, 
in wild fire the sane senses turn to ember, 
makes you splash fiery sparks of spiteful mind.

This land is played out on a plain bible.
Nightlights smear a frigid fog, the fumes of idling cars.

A flat-lined wind plies its wheezy bellows through burrowing bones,
smothers the distance, douses the glint of rural glimmers.

The lady before me
Waltzes through my lane...
The air I breathe....
Mixes with her scent...

My exist-tense
Is fashioned around her
Day and night
I pawn around her lane
To smell her scent

She oozes an appeal..
That douses my medulla oblongata
What will I...

   It douses the flame of her torch
Whose sparks perish on her lifeless gown

The owls, hoo knows why, they do give a hoot.
Do humans give a hoot, or holler more?
The moons of hollowness...the wait for loot.
The holy prayer-knees...the beak defeats.

The dove descends with not a hoot, but peace.

If I'm able to reach to the 
drifting sky,
I'd die literally... I'd lack 
oxygen and my heart would

If I reach too high in the 
drifting, dusky sky,
I'd fall - I...
