Long Eccentricity Poems

I am appalled by the acts of atrocity in this world of eccentricity 
How can you handle the rebellious transgressions of all children, women and men?
I want to serve You, master, with all I got…
I...

Mechanism 1
Part #1

The things outside of my window dry out my eyes. The egg that I saturated has mold on it. The moon decays when I speak. The stars are all just God’s germs. Lately...

**the lyrics in parenthesis is family-friendly rap without piano**

Fretless…
For your sake of distress
Regretless…
Of our lives' endless progress

(I stay inside my own space 
Stray outside with vast grace)
If I stay here without a trace, 
I will...

I have such sentimental devotion
My eyes are an outlandish ocean 
Wish I had positivity's pure potion
Pleasure and pain got me feeling my sad notion
Of what I've become - the chosen 

I don't know what to...

Our minds play
an eisegetical game
transubstantiating our debating minds
translating our felt bodies
embodied contexts

Natural/Spiritual environments
felt yet untouched messages
spoken through ancient metaphoric narratives
polypathic tales
multiculturing mysteries
sacred polytheistic histories

Felt 
egocentrically thoughtful
inside

Touched
exterior-invested
sacred trans-pantheistic skin
outside transparent reverence
for all born vulnerably holy
within and...

?? A Living Dead I'm ??

Like an appearance of a full moon's fall,

the light of her love illuminated my heart,

in the presence of no light, which was once nightfall.

and like a grumble...

Exploring your soul is beautiful
But to do so is frightening
Relinquishing of rules
Rejecting labels

Soul searching can look and feel like you are broken
The cracks form, but light floods in
The reality of self imposed constraints suddenly feels...

Age is a verb for opening the door
Into a judgement of the satisfaction
You’ve found in life, by its opportunities
Beckoning betterment and relationship

I agree that perhaps we could’ve loved more
But you find community in your elderly...

Do you know what happened 
At 11 p.m Tuesday night
I guess you must have it
However much I protest-
But do you know

Of course you don’t:
The victory of ignorance
Come on! I will enlighten you

I took the bi-valve
Flung...

In a noxious night as I looked across the pier,
something in my stare 
screamed and wept to empty air.

What was it? 
Surfacing in that netherworld river?

I was seeing something, finally
I was seeing a veil of...

My Computer Might Daydream About…

My computer may daydream about,
The Twilight films and the meaning of The Matrix,
The thought behind Star Trek and the point of Star Wars,
Which I repeatedly watch on its DVD Player,
And it...

With a little tightening round the waist 
the skinny day comes out to taste the 
fatness of the light
I am in sight of something great but I’m hungry,
cannot wait
so I make my move too soon

just when she proudly posed as a puffing magic dragonette 

the bubble burst and a shiny sword punctured vulnerable skin

pierced the façade and made her reveal true person and posture

Strewn to the floor he collected his marbles and memories

Had played for hours as a child with his friends in the flat

Passed innumerable hours never bored always enthralled

Abraded by wear of near instant replay nostalgia...

Yesterday was nothing different
Another day passing into anonymity
But I went walking under the trees 
And my shadow went walking with me
And we walked away from reality…

And you’d probably think me crazy
If you saw me walking...

Shirring quirks

There is a hollow in my complex poet’s soul
ambivalence and contradictions a vagary maybe
a vagrant’s search for meaning roots expression
a void and a fill just the same a need to be heard

Stream of consciousness...

The best way to describe myself:
is this insightful awareness
of being too attentive and perceptive
in the middle of conversations;
anticipating words before they are spoken,
astonishing others with my answers...
and my concepts don't offer advice,
but rather a view...

A funny thing happened on the way to my house.
Another balmy spring evening whiled away in the park,
Swinging through examination blues and unrequited crushes.
Those rocky teenage years!

Homeward-bound, my best friend and I,
Via avenues bowered by...

Happy Birthday Daddy 

 Well tomorrow is your birthday
 It's been a long, long time
 I was 21 when you left
 Your Canadian's age younger than mine
 She hasn't lost her humor
 And can yet...

ESCAPADES
inescapable
the
clarity
illustrated
  in the
mysterious

erupts
to
illuminate
that
hidden beneath
the enigma
&
perplexing
&
teasing
to transform
the
   meticulous
detail

the
challenge
  the
unfailingly
humdrum&
monotony
 of existence

a
faceless
 lifetime of
  masquerade
unsettling
decades
of
tedium
  episodes
appear
 to visualise
then
retreat
 before  gathering
a  raisonné
so enjoyable
akin to  a
vivid
&
 memorable
sojourn
a
passage
int
 eccentricity
with delivery from
the
 chaotic
&
deadpan
contemplating
the impossible
  reflection
in
 a looking glass
of concealed
questions

curious
cryptic&
fragmentary

&
cheerfully
  chaotic
 on its
own merit
 readily
accepting
 the challenge
& never
 resting
  a nuanced
memorial
so
superbly
   typical

I inherited my eccentricity from my father
amongst all the other things 
but sometimes I wish I hadn't 
so I do not feel it in my bones when my sorrow sings

Sometimes I wish I did not...

Suffocating the eloquent existentialism 
Running without a moon
The morning comes way too soon
Leaving me without a home

Dear friend,
Would you stand by my side
If I asked you to?

Dear love,
My love, would you love me
If I pushed...
