Long Drys Poems

[This poem 'No God Of  Mine' was seemingly confounding readers as
to its meaning. Ordinarily, if I felt a poem wasn't  cutting it, I'd delete

Being Bob

Bob, is just an ordinary guy in every sense of the word. Five ft eight inches tall, a little on the chubby side and has lost most of his hair. No one pays much...

Cement, sand and gravel, blood, body and soul
Eternity bred from hell's darkest hole
Combine gruesome aggregates, hydrate the mix
Mould them and dry them, then stack up the bricks.

Thought in advance and precision laboured
Set automatic, eternity savoured

The Naked brazen placid blue
Meets its foe the dark forbidding nemeses
Who unleashes his growing anger and fury
Obliterating and defeating his enemy
Proclaims a victory and unrolls his miserable shroud
With utter contempt
And spews his venom
Impregnating his virgin...

than standing beneath the misty veil of a waterfall. 
Like avatar of baby's breath

I sweat when I’m nervous,
Its my trait,
Not by choice,
Anxious,
My fate.

When I’m first to show,
Last or out smarted,
Just the thought of being anxious,
Means that it’s started

Sweats come,
Mouth drys,
Run away,
Want to cry,

Mop my brow,
How,
No tissue,
Big issue,
Some one...

I know you don't fancy my advances,
slim pickens don't describe my better chances.
Got a snowball's chance in hell,
but it fits me just as well,
I know we'll see Armageddon.
But, I've yet to learn my place,
I will...

Laying here beside my love
my thoughts dwindle of our making...
Making the sweat that now drys up on our bodies,
that was beading out a few moments ago,
slowly departing our skin, slowly traveling throughout our bodies
and dispensing...

They slip by like drops of water
hardly noticed after the puddle drys
They seem so unconcerned
Those fleeting moments of time

One year ago
To this very day
Both of my parents
Were taken away

On the interstate
A car hit them from the side
And there at the scene
Is where they both died

Many nights I cried
Clear tears from my eyes
Like the...

The ferryman impatiently awaits
But I lack the gold
So I ask him to wait, as I put him on hold..

I call the grim reaper hoping for a loan
He appeared soon after through my headstone
He's cloaked in...

Imagine you're on fire,
And it's ever since you can remember,
And flames get ever higher,
Yet will never turn to ember,

Forever screaming for release,
But the inferno never dies throughout your cries,
Always increases never ceases,
It drys your eyes...

As I walk through this life in history,
I live.
You may not like my lifestyle,
Still, I live.
You look at me with a beam in your eyes,
Trying to take a straw out of mines,
My straw is a...

Not till the last forest’s flattened on earth, 
The last few drops drip down no more nor leak, 
Till crawling deserts daunt, the lands look bleak, 
The last river’s all bare from very birth, ...

When thoughts like lightning streak across my mind
In brilliant flashes of the clearest hues 
If turning them to words on page I find
My efforts and advances are refused

I oft will turn my ire towards the page
Until...

Steel cold, rough hands lay slack.
Pull it taut while gripping the back.
Getting it apart takes a lot of force.
Days pass, and so strain, as a horse.

Gather up inside of a ductility test.
If the wire grows warm, it drys...

The sight of the first leaf's fall..
And I know it all.
Autumn has come
I know its time to run, play, hop with glee
For Autumn isn’t my enemy.
Some may hate my prankster friend with her mess and...

Standing here by the door 
While I watch the rain just poor 
It is splashing on the ground as the rain
Drops come down even more
I decide to walk around in the rain 
Hoping to see...

He squats the entire day,
extending his empty cup.
Cold sweat oozing from the pores
of his slack bristly white face,
yet he crouched spiritless,
hoping for kindness to tumble.

Desire split his dry lips,
but he stoops without a murmur,
parting the...

Time mends the broken heart; a timeless feat. 
Time drys the eyes that once, could only weep.
Life’s highs and lows; a harmonizing beat.
A soulful hymn; time’s echo buried deep.

The truth of time; lies within a...

Forever might be never 

It could be whatever 

And it is made out of leather 

Soon is always far 

Far is always hard

But destiny is always the alarm 

 Time passes

Tik tok clashes 

Feelings become...
