Long Elongating Poems

“I don't know anything about that.  I just do what I must.”
Bréagán's smile was sad but understanding.  He knew what it was like to be pushed to do what seemed impossible.  He...

I was an accomplished librarian, who took pleasure from written words,
As opera singers find their pleasure, in the halls where music is heard.

I was well matched to such absorbing work, knowing it was worthwhile,
Like stars...

I am scrolling down hill,

folding the pills,

elongating the tree's
and simplifying the breeze,

I am a song to be played-

earlier than you might say
in the day,

when hearing is a complaint
and danger is delayed,

but you are a spade,

as my pen positions itself
between my fingers  and pillows itself on my hand…
…I know not why I write and still I’ve got to take this poem for a ride….

Thoughts spew inside my head –...

Impossible mission to pinpoint present
such fleeting moment instantaneously spent
according to yours truly i.e. this gent
mind boggled, intrigued, stymied...
courtesy unseen minute
(mine hoot, minoot, my newt...) agent

provocateur stealing every precious second,
whether or not satisfactorily spent
time thief absconds...

No one likes you.
We hate you.
No one loves you.
You might as well go kill yourself.
No one will even miss you once you're gone....

Why tell someone these things?
What good does that bring you?
Does it make you...

Every night the moon would shine,
and she would come alive.
The breeze would blow the clouds
away, she stops, drawn to the
moon like a lover whose been
gone so long she almost forgot.
She is in love with the...

Solar Eclipse Kiss

Moon tumbles into the tunnel of mad tribulation.
Only in her dreams, her higher desires exalt into an empire from her orb of opulent observations.
For their relationship of spicy sanity survives decades of divide.
Now,...

Bundle of rules elongating the short distance between a problem and its solution
Unnecessary layers compulsorily placed on a mounted ladder with very few steps
Road expectedly smooth and direct is created with uneven stones and many...

Lost like unused syllables in unrhyming words
petals of frilled sorrow drip to the earth from weeping trees, 
crying each filigreed petal slowly, one by one, 
in cascades of gentle tears to their tender rest,
shaping billowing...

I dream of you my beloved Daisy, you were of such flagrant colour
Your fragrance filled the air, as the rays showered on you in downpours
And I take a step towards you, even my own feet...

he remembers it less dimly just now,
   the dirt road, a yellowish, brownish blur,
      stretching from left to right,  and right to left,

The time ticks by
As I stare at the clock 
Knowing my near future. 
Just sitting
Waiting. 
No news, no change. 
Storms rage, 
Confusion, resignation, consternation . 
The time seems slower somehow. 
Like the whole world still...

Focused, concentrating 
 on some random 
   but persistent thought
 riveted in ruminations 
   fixed on point and purpose,
 ponderings deep and dark 
   in retrospective scrutiny;

Aged, antiquated,

Isotopes of a larger part
Extractions or
Variants isolated to its 
Purity
Clustered to fuss and
Burst or reburst into a
Larger reaction
Each moment of a second is

Moreso that its stability to
endure can be made...

And the tongue diving between the teeth
Like the tongue of a hunting chameleon
Then you are sure this is stolen laughter

When lips part and twist on one side
Saliva dripping like rain...

Swingers of drenching waters
Drifters of fini coasters

Skating on lines of lakes and rivers
Dancing as spiral rafters

Bowing down before the sunny skies
Elongating wings of frozen cries
Beaks of clamored pleas
Speaks with enamored gees

Lake of praying feathers
Wake of...
