Long Drowsed Poems

It was the weekend, and I was sleeping late that day,
Alone with the morning, while savoring marvels of May.

As I drowsed luxuriantly, at the outskirts of dreams,
I heard a strange sound, while soaking in gay...

At the edge of a wood, in days of summertime,
Lived Hansel and Gretel, once upon a time;
Whose dear father, a poor woodcutter,
Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from...

It was late in the perpetual summer, and I had been dozing,
On a blue and balmy afternoon, as I lulled on my porch swing.

When from my pleasurable dreams, I was eventually aroused,
By sweet breezes that...

I had for long been an arborist, enthusiastically caring for the trees,
Like a grasshopper immersed in a green world, is glad for all he sees.

I had always loved nature, having begun gardening when I was...

The shepherd stood on the field, frail,
He knew not what to do when and why,
As the wrathful sun did steep down,
The confused chap followed his humble sheep.
Then one man neared and asked his name,
He gasped...

I had always adored purple lilacs, and never could get enough,
As wildflowers bloom abundantly, although times may get rough.

They had graced a backyard garden, that I'd known in childhood,
On a tree lined street of birdsong,...

I was a bed and mattress tester, a dream job like that of a yellow moon.
I tested the comfort of beds, pillows, etc., for night is ever coming soon.

I studied sleep patterns too, like vivid...

Go cast your stones if you will, and tell me
Your innocence is more just than her cause
Or read me in sand, flee her victory
Where you link the chain of demonic laws
For she a slave of...

I care not a fat hairy fig
For your task to decimate
And predicate my world
With such villainy and hate.

You evaporate the sunshine.
You bring nigh the distant gloom.
Like a pestiferous browsing parasite
Intent on some impending doom.

Crawl! Crawl...

Here silence reigns supreme all time,
  And evening melts away
Into the night in distant sight
  From where the locals stay.

The murmur of the grove distracts
  My stiff and weary shin,
Yet they move...

Hoary Decree, dateless Order, 
Anthroposophy of the cradle,
Bewilderment of upper echelon,
Agemo - the goddess of forms.

You are the word, you utter not any;
You are the history, you tell no tale;
Cogent than ingredients and concoction,
Fiat is...

Bonded desire, laced in lark,
like a glow of moonlight spark 
that creeps softly in the dark 
and pummels to make its mark. 

It is for affection 
that it tickles in motion 
like a heart drowsed...

In the pages of history
there's a baffling mystery
about the passing of the crew 
since eighteen ninety two.

Bright stars turned to dim 
whether fat or slim, 
no one's young, no one's old,
they were all in same...

There was a fairy whose name was Fanny,
She had a dear friend whose name was Danny,
At night, they used to stroll among flowers,
Talking and walking, they forgot the hours,
Before they noticed, it was early morn,
Time...

An impulse, like hunger or thirst, that marks,
Need for defense from a danger that sparks;
Nervousness if not attended to and healed,
Turns phobia and soon great power wield...!

Aren't snakes, spiders, and cockroaches creatures?
Don't tigers and lions...

I must have breathed a whisper-prayer,
A single strand of softest silk,
It must have floated through earth’s clouds
And, caught in current’s upward stair, 
Tangled in my angel’s hair.

She must have borne it Heaven-wards,
This thought I barely...

I rarely go to temple,
Though when New Year comes around,
I do not feel complete until
I hear the shofar’s sound.

Some synagogues stream services;
I listened for a while,
But the rabbi’s talk went on and on
And wasn’t quite...

Her smudged face in the bathroom mirror,
seen from bruised sheets.
The open mouths of high heels
one face down drunken, the other gaping.

Headlights strafe the curtains,
a scant dress clings to the oily back of a chair.
The room...

Doused and dizzy, I drowsed 
On a tropical island, I roused 
With Calypso music on my head 
The troubles in my heart were all dead 

The beauty was finer than gold 
Like a tale of...

Wild, old dog singing everyday
It does not have a holiday 
Singing songs about other's glow 
Like, it does not have gleam to show 

It sings on dark and stormy night 
It always sings when day...

In the tall green grass of August I lay,
And the sky was a sparkling deep blue,
And the orange sun sat on a distant hill,
As I drowsed in the forever of a moment!
Magenta blush and red...

Days are stolen by light begun
With the rise of a savage sun;
Air drips with a wearying clue 
To fire roiling down heaven’s flue, 
And sidewalks haze in summer’s brunt. 

The city is by heat waves...
