Long Exposures Poems

Reading Csikszentmihalyi again,
whose last name would be Csikszenti,
if Mihaly, his first name,
need not also bring up the rear of his family name,
which has nothing to do with anything that follows,
I am sure you are already...

Tardigrades aka Water Bears, Moss Piglets

Before T-Rex appeared and the Dodo bird disappeared,
Leading to modern-day scientific knowledge increasement,
Creatures of infinitesimal size called ‘Tardigrades’ endure,
Were and are living and thriving, just about anywhere on earth.

From mountain...

worldwide for haiku esteemed,
wrote myriad works for their greatness famed
and frequently nature themed.

Japan in the sixteen hundreds was where
his lyric verses were penned
mid trips solitary in open air

Is it a butterfly out in the blue,
poised in its daintily delicate flight—
nebula N G C six three oh two—
offering rhymers a poem to write?

In our galaxy, that is the Way Milky,
with structure bipolar in...

The password is… password, shhh...
Try to remember if possible,
this sure-fire way of getting through the door;
Entering indeed, as with all lithesome ladies,
and their dithering dogs, after
entreating the big dude at the entrance gate,
with licorice...

The lone coconut tree that dared

to lean towards the sea,

gave shade to her friends while

playing on the beach.

Running half-naked so natural

to those blossoming teens,

mother's lagoon fishing straddling

the sea so blue and pristine.

Water glistening on her...

A genuine hero isn't one that's flawless     
Arguably not the one garmented with 
Absolute forfeits but one who is purely 
Accountable in securing relationships 
Amiably without trade of another life.

Fantastically feeding...

We ask God’s blessings for food we eat;
those who toil to grow it deserve our prayers too.
In 1985, Farm Aid musicians took their beat,
rocking in donations for those who grew
in debt, not just crops, as...

In the dimming light of her bedroom,
a child sits facing the wall in her bad chair.
She has to go potty, but she doesn’t dare.
So she stares at the wall in the gathering gloom.

I need not touch your bleeding heart to know of your love
For your deeds are great in the eyes of your Father above
Nor do I pierce a finger from the jagged thorns

Damper than morn' dew, you'd rise like alarms,
with whimpered cries, too early for Mother.
Picturesque you'd sleep nestled in her arms,
unconsolable by any another.

At shutter speed, you'd leap from Mama's lap,
leaving the comfort of security's squeeze,
trotting...

Even though bent neck on the book
gives a better and worthy outlook
knowledge without virtues and principles
Is a knife used constantly against humanity and life.

School itself gives mentally sound stability
but to overcome challenges, social molding gives...

The political biochemistry of triumphs and defeats
Lives its spasmodic life 
Consisting of precious milliseconds,
Precise calculations and brutal muscle power.
But this bodily activity
Doesn't mean a thing
Without the reports, the flags, the anthems, the politics of international...

In the country we see more
when it is the darkest.
Horses shine in the moonlight.
Stars bore holes through infinity.

When a full moon
leaps over the trees
the land ripples
with nocturnal exposures,
things unnoticed in daylight.

After a deep gloom
when nothing...

So nonchalant, beyond dull care life seems.
    Unveiled beneath, a broken heart that bleeds.
    Torn by remorseful reoccurring dreams.
    Of love once pure, besmirched through wanton...

Light arrives from its flight
wheeling behind its suitcase of shadows,
exposures, echoes and consequences.

It spills its hoard across the floor,
and gathers remnant dark 
remains from dim corners. 
It daubs and stitches 
black silhouette capes and patches...

There’s a new style of gown
That’s begun to hold sway
In which boobs of all sizes
Are there on display.

I’m not talking of cleavage,
Attractive and chic,
Where the bosom’s tucked in
And you just get a peek.

No, the styles...

Madness..
The faces of unknown..
Lurking ..
Hiding behind the shadows..

Madness tucked underneath destruction..
Exposures withheld..
Mysteries not unfolding
As desires to unfold arises..

Madness succumbs to wickedness..
As sinister plots carry on ..
Secretive manipulations lures all..
A thirst for justice
A hunger for truth..
