Long Etches Poems

I once spent a week in the drunk tank
couldn't handle the spirits that I drank
the cuisine wasn't half bad
we even had a few laughs
but I had to guard my butt with a shank

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,

We presume to know of a far better way
But our devices will falter somewhere, someday
Surely there will come a time, a time to pay
We don't care, our chosen course we shall stay
In light of His...

Ruminating vagaries of life May 2nd, 2021

which loosely summarization in toto
of this ordinary Joe Schmoe,
who did wade nine months for a roe
at mercy of obstetricians status quo,

Silence, my loyal companion, enfolds me
in the embrace of solitude’s sanctuary,
where words dare not tread, forsaking her.
With vacant eyes, she wields a brush
and paints a portrait of the deity forlorn,
narrating tales without the need for...

This struggling accomplished path winds,
Spiral like stairs leading us to the point;
Average wingedhipsters today more like
Displaced thugs. With no sense.
At every corner, we're speaking rigorous
Reminders.

America, I'm wore out, worrying about

Thought I was going mad..
Bonkers maybe
And I told God I was sorry for thinking I was thee
And casted the thought away from me..

Deep in the coridors of my 
yearning heart I dwell in the 
gloom that befalls me 
whenever the heat of your 
body lies 300k's away from 
mine. 
I quiver in anxiety anticipating 
the moment ur...

In the expanse of the vast blue canvas above,
Where birds tell tales in the silence of flight,
Their wings, artisans of an unseen story,
And the wind, a subtle bard, whispers concealed longing.

S'more sprawling poppycock

Chock·a·block discombobulated poem

it glistens …
can you see?
do you see that little drop -
the tiny streak that
writes your name upon my visage -
that etches it’s damp and
dour reality onto what the mirror
shines back at me each day?

I met and conversed 
with a rather
confusing stranger
He had found his way
to the bottom of
a neat vodka bottle
he said he wanted to forget
needed to forget
that he loved her
but she wasn't for that
No, she bore her...

Festive party
Celebrate something;
Warm humanity

~~~~~~~~~


One by one
People walk pass;
Lonely man waits

Dog walking fast
Master in tow;
Barks fine command

Two sparrows
Practice on wood bench;
Gospel of birdsong

~~~~~~~~~


Sea of faces
Hurry takes a break;
Crowded lift hijacks

~~~~~~~~~


Old shop houses
New paintwork shines;
Ancient looks new

Repay good with evil,
and you shall be touched by the Finger of God
Turn a blessing into a curse,
and get zapped by the divining lightning rod
Examine your ways
before you make that fatal decision
You don’t wanna go...

days when I was still trying to figure out who

Gentle whispers, like quiet roses
Softly opening, pouring out their fragrance
Against a sunny afternoon, 
In the winds, a breeze singing
Through the tender leaves, dancing
On the ends of steely branches

Peaceful slumber, echoing in dreams
Laughing, breathless like the...

One last cigarette, 
whiskey's gone.
Alone with my thoughts,
Lonely, not alone.
Share your bed, your smiles,
Your seed.
Draining my soul,
Never meeting the need.
Silence so loud,
Aches and throbs.
Eager for dreams,
Jaded, robbed.
Beautiful memory,
Poster of lust.
Vampiric passion,
Eats at the rust.
And dust...
That settles,
Deep...

With empty sack the entities arrive and depart 
In between turn into greed slaves to grab
Sucked within the abyss of temptation
Love can bestow the heavenly satisfaction of giving.

In the inferno of temporal corporeal passion ...

Etches of landscapes and silhouettes of faces,

Edgy, I occupy myself with a book pretending
the storm will veer away. But the rumbles get louder
and the first blitz of lightning etches the black sky.

If her pain serves to please you
She is all out of words
If her joy won’t amuse you
Her trust will be reserved
She’s begun to realise
That she’s not all at fault
Deep beneath those hate-filled words
She sees your...
