Long Exhilarated Poems

Late evening March 2045

The Teenagers were adventurous 
They were venturing.  DJ and 
Damali Trech were both 18 years 
Old. The Copy Cat Club was the
Place to  be for teens.  It mostly 
Served...

Damian is on the phone speaking 
With architects.  He made
Airline and hotel reservations.
 Soon Afterwards he went 
To Molly and caressed her away from
From a sweet dream. "Hey, baby girl."
He sat on...

The scenery was magnificent, and the morning was slightly hot,
Our land cruiser was windowless, and sitting in a lovely spot.

The giraffes were splendid, and much bigger than I'd expected,
One could hardly gaze at the vast...

The strong gust of wind was cut off from its source; a frigid early spring blast that swept across a lofty mountain range, high above British Columbia.

It then encircled one of the lesser peaks and...

In our highschool, we had to go for masses every Saturday and Sunday
And some girls even went for masses early mornings during the week
The nuns kept strict eyes on us
We had limited socializing time with...

I am twenty-one.
It’s a hot, summer day in 1963.
I’m in Lubbock, Texas, at Reese Air Force Base
And I’m climbing the ladder into a supersonic T-38 jet.
The parachute strapped to my back is cumbersome.
I can feel...

Everything was green and lush as I walked the hiking path,
little did I know that soon I would be hopelessly lost and
entangled by the forest with foliage impermeable.  I walked 
miles. Soon I was...

~My Bicycle~
Everybody had one - everyone but me... 
Pedaling everywhere, laughing hysterically.

My brother had an idea; to the tip let us go,
You never know we may find some bits, and them we will show. 

Digging...

What is L.O.V.E

A four letter word that makes some feel alive
Love is no different than you and i

It wants to be cherished and wants to be synced
Love can disappear with a snap or a blink

 Shadowland 

Chained to the addiction of tempting Fate 
What if I told you that my life was once like yours?
Torn between love and hate
A shadow silhouette lurking between life and death
Fuelled by an emptiness...

Beautiful day
Ocean
Blue sky
A little piece of paradise 

Beckoned by the waves
Come out and play
Frolic 
Be a child again
Crash through my waves
Feel my strength
A perfect day

You feel in control
Your body so strong
As you ride along
Upon her...

An unfinished afternoon lies strewn across my desk
   Along with an uneaten breakfast neglected by my left
While I tap-tap-tap my fingers absent-mindedly on the table-top
   As I impatiently await for the...

That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

The Unicorn

Once upon a time…
an incredible event occurred that was so sublime.
On a warm summer night many years ago,
awakened by the rhythmic tempo
of hoof beats coming from the yard below,
I peered outside my bedroom window.

There...

Swing, swing, swing 
Sitting on the wooden swing 
underneath the night sky 
Head upward.
Something up there 
exhilarated my eyes,
So they keep on searching for him.
Tonight, a stage the sky is. 
The nomad clouds are golden...

What do I look like to you?
How many times have you seen me?
Yet you haven't seen it yet?

Don't you see the monster I truly am?
Often I wish to release you...

You are worth so much more...

We were accustomed to being in the military living in the
barracks, having inspections and following the rules.
Yet, at summer's zenith, my sweetheart and I and our two
friends left behind the Ft. Myer base in Arlington,...

The path is narrow 
the roots of the trees 
jut out of the ground 
offering a risk 
of stumbling 
or falling. 

I feel excited 
adventurous 
where does this path lead? 


The sky is bluey purple...

LANKY AND PLANKY

Lanky & Planky wanted to hanky pank.
They were two happy men without brains.
They thought about the Wizard and wanted to visit Oz.
But he was a doctor just as retarded.
Nevertheless, they set out on...

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

Me

The person inside
thee, I -
thy, all there is
within

all my life, and yet,
so much more, quite frankly
I often miss

I've been carried, caressed softly, left
to my own devices freely,
pushed swiftly in the behind, and for
good reason, 

I've...

I picked up all the aches
One by one
And stepped away.
I hid them inside 
Locked my heart out
And walked away.
I swallowed words of anger
Chocked
Full
Could not take anything in
More.
Why don't you stay
One time more
Still in need
Your heavenly...
