Long Embroil Poems

'Continental Drift' - The Metaphor

In the seventies (1), few people dreamed ‘it’ was true,
guessed by scientists first when rough coastlines compared (2)
matched like parts of a puzzle (a jigsaw), found place
that joined ‘drop-offs’ waves hid...

Look at the president
dressed in patriotic drag
See how he’s bubble wrapped
in his American kilt flag
Notice how he sashays about
in his patriotic beauty pageant dress
Asking you to give your country more,
when he always found a way...

Perceptions of a ragged space,
all that was left by the human race,
there's not a lot left to see at all,
as their carelessness was seldom small.

Let's dig around 
in that frazzled ground,
for that's where there's bound...

Explosions rock the boat;
Ocean gushes inside.
The battered stern won't float,
All controls lock their slide.

Listing fifteen degrees,
The lifeboats fail to launch.
Swift decent lugs a squeeze
Impossible to staunch.

After mounting seconds
The vessel starts to slow,
While the stark deep...

**"And his name was Jack"**

No one perceives what abides above the clouds. 
A giant, a harp, maybe golden eggs. 
I demand to see and feel before I believe. 
A castle, a dream…. I want the...

Well I’m seventy-six, but in love, I still feel
Like a sixteen-year-old (whole ‘permission to learn’ bit!)
I sit on the left! Sigh! Dad’s far to my right!
But it’s me in the driver’s seat! God, it’s surreal,
For...

The moon rises high, casting its pale light,
Yet my soul remains shrouded in endless night
I toss and turn, unable to find respite,
Its memory lingers, my constant despot

Savage feelings leave me in full dread,
Haunting; my mind,...

We’ve had warnings before of real dangers we face,
Populations whose growth could exceed Earth’s resources! (1)
Might chemicals used to produce more (enrich some)
Be curse if we poison consumers, farmworkers, and soil
That grows crops? (2) Have...

Teeth infuriate the neck, pinion it in pleasure,

Body submits to arms, in seductive capture.

Trepidation although is apprehension
Rankle causes much irritation.
Enmity what a deepseated hatred
Meretricious always vulgar when stated.
Embroil involves a hostile reaction
Nemesis our inflicter of exaction.
Denial is often refusal to grant the truth
Obloquay utterances of discredited ill repute.
Ululation...

After much consideration, I believe
Most people dim hope tight cleave.
Grief is the vital human weave.

There is comfort in easiness.
People find delight in sleaziness.
All are believed to speak falsities ness.

Fear does not lead to depression or...

Hunting animals subsisted their livelihoods. 
Slowly, steadily they learnt upliftment, 
What we accepted later as civilisation. 

Today in this modernised world, 
We follow new-fashioned approaches and genres.

Psyche, in the morning hours;
Belladonna flowers?
Dancing stars in silent showers?
Glimmers, glows, and glowers!

Ariadne, webs to weave?
Wisdom, will ye grieve?
What ought mortals to believe?

Kali Mother, over boil?
Face down in the soil!
Military, might, embroil?

Rhythm, rhyme, and resonance.
Riddle, riffle through.
Red run roundabout? Last chance.
Buried deep in blue.

Stifle, sound of silence?
Better not ask why.
Victory bequeaths violence!
Somebody must die!

Pool up, silk thread, on my spool.
Thunder, fly at once.
