Long Expectancies Poems

Poem 1: A Boy And His Painted Piano

he used lively greens
tender blues,
touches of plain mauve 
and rainbow trout splatters
to paint music
on the gas fumes 
that inhabited the clean air
that once use to live there.

Room full of people, how could I be lonely?
These days it's harder than ever to find a true homie
I'm trying to keep a grip but I'm losing it slowly

Filling our voids with mediums of instant...

Along some bank of ambiguity.
Isolated while in wonder,
I lacked motivation.
Consequently, I preferred to be someplace different.
I perceived myself wandering near the banks,
Concerning one Tiber River in Rome.
"What is behind me,
Is not in front of me!"
Snickering,...

DON'T WORRY!
BECAUSE,  WHATEVER YOU MISSED...

Stuff your rock stars, your heros, your christs,
your anti-christs and anarchiests.
Stuff your false idols up your arse.
Stuff your regenerative ramblings;
the spiel of a million others
spilt in diluted misunderstanding.
The generic rhetoric of another blank generation.
Born under...

I find myself wanting to believe that the times of bona fide innocence ended with our forefathers decades ago
My heart persists on convincing my mind to see that the dent on our generation is irreversible,...

If you believe I was born to fall in love with other men
Then, you’re not familiar with this life
No one is ever born into this filthy sin
If it’s so, there’s was no need for the...

A dangerous woman conceals her trepidation
Rapidly shifting eyes move from left to right
Squinting with strong winds along the harbor dock
It is not the weather or the dark that causes shivering

I write a little ‘touchy-feelie’ poetry now and then in keeping with ‘expectancies’ on which the genre’s based,     
But far more often whip up works for which the timid fan -...

Many A Mile


What it means to be loved by the river 
Overflowing with joy , warmth, laughter 
The rain has come 
The sun has gone 
The rays have been delayed 
The only thing that remains...

True beauty lies beneath the skin
From every each way beauty flows within
Like a river with strong currents it flows
Disguised by the outside no one really knows 
A certain glance or a polite gesture
Sparks this beauty...

Life creaked upon me- one sound at a time- new eras pounced on me- like invaders, taking me for a ride in different directions- bending me to its will.  It turned me, straightened me,...

Drugs like anger and toxin like pills
Flashing from the side of the ditch. 
Holding out the rain, trying so hard 
to rot whatever it touches.

Curses to the sun 
that drying bitch, 
flooding the world with...

A light made whole
the sunshine as it is bright
moonlight gathers afar
time spent
remembering the winds
the gatherings of the roses
all untold stories
until a future that appears
whispering, silent
time has gone.

Owning the responsibilities
life as passes through
relationship expired
people are envying...

ROLLING
I sucked your glow stick in my dream last night.
Expectancies were changing points of view,
out in your Ecstasy--your flash of light--
I heard you pray for something you could do.

Nomadic in your mind, you come and...

Life isn't always what you may expect

Some people are nice others will disrespect

Life is always full of adventures

But everything comes with the ups and downs

Living up to expectations may be hard at times

Other times your...

Intolerable inexperience instilled in indifference,
Suddenly shifting. Such subtle shame,
For fallen fantasies, failing fictional fallacies.
Every exception exceeding expectancies,
Never neglecting notable necessities. 
Coming completely closed,
Removing reality, reflecting rational reduction.
Perfect possibilities pass presently,
Abandoning avarice and addiction,
When we waver...

Unlocking enslaved brains
Breaking unbreakable chains
How enormous is his humongous Grace
We fail if we perceive success is by virtue of race

Many believe in science 
Others have faith in signs
Because of their own experiences 
And perhaps life's...
