Long Encumbers Poems

Our Supreme Court
Just allowed corporations free rein,
Unlimited power to effect our popular elections.
This regardless of,
Where stockholders may live or stay,
Corrupting the whole process of our Reps selections.

What this means to you,
Is the next Representative you'll...

As much as I love to watch her undress
and anticipate what her reasons for doing so might be,
I find nothing more erotic than to watch her step out of the morning shower
and begin to prepare...

Suddenly over the sudden years
I have felt an encumbrance; I sense an albatross -
the weight of sundry uncharted days.
Times I chronicle today as if I were a wax cylinder
and not the broken spool in a...

I would like to spill,
What is harbored in my soul.
I would like to say,
Things that no one really knows.

I’d apologize to you,
In a measurement beyond the stars.
For not being there with you,
Has left my soul...

Mortal men immortal grieving, and candles dim
That gave tears rainbow in their light
The heart presses down still overflows the brim
Beyond all sorrow there's only night.
For we conscious live unconscious in our heart
In silk cocoons of...

They dance around my head at night; trying to steal my sleep;
Women I’ve desired, a place I want to be;
They sing a song I’ve heard but don’t know;
And in the song that they now sing;...

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum...

so, here at last, to stomp you thin
    are barbs to rip the scar-less skin
      now open wide and taste the guilt
  or better, one bound...

I lay encased in darkness, in loathing, 
With twisted visions, my mind betrothing 
My dried lips with a lustful, moistened hue. 
In that blackness moved a slender figure, 
Its shadowed frame increasingly bigger, 
As it...

I sit, gazing at my bountiful fields;
Cattle graze and meander upon the grass;
Flapping, a shadowy figure soars near;
He perches on the railing of my porch,
still saturated from the morning dew;
"Hello, my old friend," I say...

For Shame
Their cold bronze eyes stare out at us from busy thoroughfare
 Heroic gaze and presence met with apathetic  stare
The marble plinths now stained with piss record with misery
Of truth and Kings and Glorious...

Guess what?
I am not perfect
Yet you call me Brother Lee
I've fail again my God and thee
Yet He's forgiven me
For He lent His life hung on a tree;

And for this I'm thank-fully
grateful
did I say thank-fully

Don't you...

This victim of self like a snake
Broken heart to devour my pride
And then what coils around will awake
Ouroboros eating his lies

This hero of truth like a trance
All black and white in this haze
Where my sword...

Fire lust of the angry clouds doth cover envy
To fork the stars upon my ever-changing view.
The crestling being i endure to hold of many
Foreign thoughts to translate a bonafide rue.

Carnival of lights leave me starstruck
In...

Across Dhariwaa i, with my brothers have walked
as the teachings professed come to life, we experience

My edgings they are shorn
and trails of truth are knife,
a country sad is born
with each new righteous height!

That definition's strife
encumbers with remorse
were joy the once delight
now singulates conform!

That hedging rules the storm
were once a solemn...

All you took went in your bottle 
The energy is full throttle 
All those feelings mixed together 
Will explode on the road of the nether 

Never thought you’d let them leave 
It’s happened but you...

Man’s Origins
Searching for origins, from perhaps stars. (10)
Conclusive evidence, apes? (7)
Chaos, madness encumbers and it jars (10)
Religions poke presumptions (7)
Mythology, astrology, “too far!” (10)
Confounded naysayers, truths (7)
Leading absolutely nowhere, they mar (10)
Yet, faith, belief, knowing...

Let me carry you to a waiting star,
With this kiss on your lips, we’ll reach that far
Leave behind all that encumbers your soul
On pristine whiteness with me take a stroll

Hold my hand as I lead...

I've read legendary tales that convey
an emerald eyed panther stalks its prey.
Hunger tells him it's meat he must crave
He consumes his kill within his dark cave.

He feasts and then peacefully slumbers
for three days before he...

Mosaic tablets are not monoliths.
It all depends (despair, or last best hope?)
whatever end of Tocqueville’s telescope
you happen to be viewing.  One man’s myths

are gospels to another.  Freedom fighters,
or filthy terrorists?  A vexing...

my spirit hovers in a land without color

only shadows between dark and light

in youth the hues were vibrant

but now there are only forms in shades of boldness

oh, to bring the color back into my world
