Long Empt Poems

In a sense
each person capable of understanding these words
and those who speak diverse languages together
are island nations
splitting in two
by love
or fear
or both.

I have been concerned about the U.S. island of fundamentalist Christians,
formerly part of the...

Military maneuvers,
conducted by starship troopers,
make a Lot of king Chedorlaomer noise

Earhole space
penetrated by the Pentagon puffing pace ... 
stealth sound of smoke signals
Warning drumbeat signs 
of an incoming, deadly drone invasion

Attack helicopters hover
over tempting topography...

Please excuse me for trying to pre-empt the censors that now live among us. I hope that my meaning is clear.

The world's always been, as it is now,
a very se***l place. Organisms,...

Archie A. Agag, the American Idol Kaiser
Be hiding in an underground concrete bunker
Closed-eyed hate peeper sleepy late-riser
Dreaming of a bottom end H-bomb dumpster
Enter the REM meltdown maelstrom at every kiosk money mall
F-18's flying overhead the...

I lie supine, a thinker
Inspired by the sky or a ceiling
Damned by a glance or word
Unsafe in thought - despite the ability to travel

Eyes closed, rest will come
But perhaps a quiver of regret
Will connection be...

Beleaguer me with beaten breaths as I burn long beyond this dalliance of love,
Remind me with a rush of redolent-rippled candy kisses draped across my lips--
Enchant me with a tickle of your tempest as you...

A Thought

Throughout all of life, planted are many an evil seed, 
giving birth to sick souls, feeding their need
to control, with many a lost spirit – all it doth feed !,
missing the essence of humanity...

Thanksgiving Day  with prayers of thanks and blessings

Hue of warmth and rich amber and scarlet crowns losing 

Ardent colors gleam beneath the trees as the golden sun is burning

SAID THE VICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

To me, 
my cries
deep and soul wrenching.
To you, 
shallow. and insignificant. 
My tongue forever
twisted with fear, 
slurs every word with emotion, 
as shame and society's curses invoke themselves
into MY soul....

I've not yet risen from my bed
Chose to write poems instead
The stranger contests I attempt
All N/As I can pre-empt

Why do I try and top the chart

I know this is temporary
But it doesn’t ease the pain,
Faking who I am for now
Pushing those feelings down again.
The repercussions of doing this
Already fills my head with doubt,
Forcing myself to be present
When I just want...

Love her when you can
love her if you can
spare her when you can
bless her for you can

adore him when you can
embrace him coz you can
rebuke him for you have to
assist him for you can

Hold hands...

Propensity to perfection won’t cease,
Enslaving us to “more and better” mode.

Propelled by insecurities within,
Tempt tailoring ourselves,...
