Long Dumbfounding Poems

Interpreting mine Poetry

Similar to scrutinizing
an abstract painting,
this author begetting, canvassing
entreating... obscure words dumbfounding
readers (himself included), he eludes
(shading tree fore rest)
clear cut discerning,
yet oft times his woods
garner reviews raving
esoteric word choice,

how mind boggling
to this logophile despite

Aftermath of war: onerous task...

to salvage flotsam and jetsam
of human wreckage
amidst a sea where triage
witnessed courtesy scattered corpses
populating the Gaza strip
more'n pound of cold flesh
forced sacrifice appeasing

tendered for countless generations
predominantly innocent victims
hostages held...

but you have my heart racing and jumping,
just...

 should
  expect 
it?

Lousy thoughts of a bored mind sitting on a empty chest listening to a hollow motor.
I want to be sedated; the song is playing the tune but the...

Asthma

A dumbfounding struggle for what is plenty in the air,
The shortest of unsure breaths drawing,

A judging of the whole affair unfair.

My trachea thinking of its resignation letter,

The shallow-rooted mind is overthrown,
When we are near the evening of the world."

Very few remember to giggle
And their waists wriggle,
When they should’ve been hissing
Over The Unhappily Missing:
Very few with their fingers still describing Victory,
In dumbfounding defiance of a frustrated history…
Warranting deafening bangs on a table
Of one badly...

Honeymoon with history was over.
A two headed snake was sitting on a coin
of leather in grass. Blue tongued
