Long Enquiring Poems

“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me

Their deeds I will not look at before rising
Their accusations and murmurs however whack me in the face
And my tears become unstoppable
Is it my...

Psychic self defense 
Encyclopedia of the sixth sense 
Out of body exploration 
Searching other battlefields 
For signs of salvation 
Inquiring nationalists 
Solving true equations of physics. 

Spiritual conformity 
Government abnormality 
Magical Ouija board 
For the...

And then there’s all the other stuff she’s probably forgot,

a gentleman from a grand, but time-worn oil-painting,
unbelievably handsome in his forties,
immaculately dressed in a formal grey suit,
from the backdrop of a luscious tea-garden
on a mountaineous plush valley,
looked at me with an intriguing smile.....

one when the moon has gone, he declares

Oh,
My Miss Mystery
Thinking of my brain's Imaginary,
U became my darling boundary,

And the sweetest Strawberry,
Not less than Raspberry, Blueberry,

Your Lips are as sweet as Cadbury,
And...

Blowing up things, unfortunately,
Birth’s the printing of endless money.
By Gov’ments and world money makers,
That overwhelm global undertakers.

Yet we cry out that war is unsound,
That it spreads grief and guts all around.
Yet money printed that’s spent...

So my first lesson taught me, if intellect spawns logic, then of that I want no part!

In the hedgerows as I walk 
The fox disappearing so quickly

But I don’t really want to have to wait till I’m dead,
And when I say find him, I do not mean in spirit,
If he really exists,...

Moronika ... 
there are whispers a-floating
People say you got a low wattage bulb,
your thoughts be dimly glowing
The ideas you think of
covers a lot of six-year-old territory
