Long Encapsulating Poems

One day not so long ago 
I walked
Never alone
For the world 
Is always my home

It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul

There’s such warmth 
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No...

SMOKERS CAUTIONARY TALE
 
In the haze of smoke, a cautionary tale,
I weave a poem of the cigarette's trail.
A tale of danger lurking in the ember's glow,
Of the destructive nature we all should know.

When my lover passes by. That gleam in her eye,

Letting me know, her intention is true,

And now it is time to play.



Like smoke she lingers before me,

With a...

Lying against the floor,
The faces I love stood upon me,
Hypnotised by images that I adore,
The brightest of light envelopes the scenery,
Gazing against gravity as I evaporate,
An intense emotion submerged,
A vibration noticed, it escalates,
Espied my last...

magnified sounds with pleasant rhythms
almost unexplainable and unbelievable
turning me on and almost musically insane,

Too hard to balance my calendar 
When I just need some time to myself, take a breath and eat lunch

This one needs to go here
And the other there
And then...

A single tear swerved the curve of cheek
dragging mascara behind like sorrow lingers
and heavy breath exhales 
as if they cost too much
she scrawls out words with 
ferocity and intent
weaving their magic to strangle his hold

everything sounds better 
through headphones---
every succulent morsel of music
drips from the wires lodged in the ears or
packed tight against the head,
sometimes completely encapsulating our ears,
hell, boxing our whole heads into 
our own personal listening studio

fuse upon lined pages,

All those talks we had, your breath smoky.
All those plans we had to someday meet.

And then I felt the fear turning my legs icy
while we climbed toward the sky’s craggy peaks.

the unsettling pressures encapsulating the speed of life
