Long Enshrouds Poems

Where art thou anonymous benefactor...to offer me succor?

Ah... methinks legal tender 
could be a boon to help me bolster 
mein kampf with necessary material equipage,
which prospect to acquire essential 
commodities sabotaged 
at the altar of...

I awoke the next day, with a soft smile,
Not awakened by the screeching and the moaning of the demons beside,
But of the intense breathing of my collaborator,
Crouching above me, glaring me down with eyes abhorred
Though...

Venite
Come let us sing to the Lord;*
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving*
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is...

As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

“Clap your terrible wings, vivacious serpent of old!
Imagine my plight as dangerous as your spite,
Stomp your clawed feet on these prison floors,
Peace shall always follow the sink of your fangs…”

Silenced were the wailing demons round,
Crouched...

The skeletons and songs of samsara eternal
fleshed, fattened and flamed in karmic harmony,
your heart begins to beat in dark plethora roll
an in utero thunder thumps godly
as the warmest water touchable enshrouds,
you haven't yet forgotten the...

A child passes by 
So full of joy
Life
A friend by his side
Broad smiles smothered all over their faces, a veil over childhood ignorance
Together they play, tumbling in the grass of the gardens of youth
But before...

My heart went on a roam to explore 
A place far away across the fence bar.
To seize the moment of an open door
Adventure felt free when traveling far.

With turmoil war, work inspired the mind,
There to...

Like a shadow within a shadow merging with the darkness of night, I am the shadow merger
Like the sense of invisibility that cloaks my corpse from humanity`s gazes, I am Lord Voldermort
How does a shadow...

Old servile sleep descends on heavy wings
From laden summits wrapped in icy clouds 
When, glassy-eyed, the owl cold midnight rings
And snowy mist the starry light enshrouds. 

Atop the ancient firs, the birds lie still
And cling...

Dear God, my love for you flickers in wavering shadows,
Caught between the whispers of evening prayers
And the intoxicating allure of liquor’s path.
I am well aware that this habit I cling to displeases you,
Yet I beseech...

Season of dream haze and arctic signpost.
Chill and chap brood whose scattered offspring plummet thermal values as welcome mat for “whiskered” chimney guest awash with bounty.
Thief of sun filled days without a twinge but that...

Clinging moss
grazes my hair,  
    the ground
almost sponge like
       under my step
with the same growth.

Off to my right
   splashes and lapping noises
permeate through...

HALLUCINATION

Snow falls silently here  
On Pahalgam's mourning hills  
Pure crystal white turned red  

White flakes bear witness to loss  
Each one holds a mother's tear  

Snow remembers all  
Innocent...

I look down from clouds, in a plane I sit,
And I stare at cotton, which is softly lit.
A warm glow oozes through, on the comforting hills,
With reds and yellows, my eyes it fills.

The clouds begin,...

A devastating fire, an incendiary flame.
heartless heat dissolves the skin of the innocent.
Thick smoke enshrouds the burning performance.
She cannot help but to feed the beast.
To give in to the power of its haughty remarks.
She cannot...

A DEITY
Sonorous
Rhythms from the belfry waft
A call of our votive worship to give.
In your sacred tent we besiege you.
For, to you our exultation to dole and your
Mercy on us to cascade.
The tune of the harmonica,...

The bitumen sockets of a fox's skull gape out across 
an open field, testament to open-casketed interment. 
Starlings pulse ephemeral iredescence in a cascade of 
limitless water falls. Autumn's late sun throws shapeless 
shadows across...

Justice Will Always Prevail
 


  Troubled minds hear ephemeral voices invoke thunder lightning and brimstone
  Arms and faces lifted skyward world leaders chant prayers of promise to atone
  Burning desires layered with...

I encounter ebbs and flows, a peaceful solace sigh.
Wedged on the cusp of a cliff to endeavor a descry.
I'm heading somewhere to ascertain a fair minding.
Although I've ultimately arrived, I'm still screeching.

We will fit along...

The red harvest moon shines deeply with its eerie light
Somewhere in distant galaxies stars are burning bright
The equinox is here this night
The countenance of mystery enshrouds this site

The wind whispers gently among ancient oaks
The great...

Today, I feel her-
she alerts her soul-mates, their storm-
colored bodies. She..cries,

her wings contracted, 
a honk mingled with a " I am
amongst you", and chimes

so dampened, they toll
like Hemingway's Bell. A Goose,
Canadian- a wife-

is in my...

“Seducer, healer, deity or thief,
I will see you soon enough—
in the shadow of the rainfall,
in the brief violet darkening a sunset—
but until then I pray watch over him
as a mountain guards its covert ore
and the...

A lofty thought beholds itself within the luscious mirror
Created from the limpid tears which fell from high above
And washed away the sad remembrance sown by dying error.
A sparkling rainbow reigns in hues of red and...
