Long Exulting Poems

PRELUDE.
When the sky and world are dark no sounds are heard in the woods. Perhaps the scrabbling of night creatures on the hunt fo food. But no sound of woodpeckers ra ta tatting, bird song...

I feel honored, and flattered to acquaint myself (a married youthful looking sexagenarian solitudinarian from southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), yet feel awkward at jump/kick starting a rapport.

Literate lettered latitudinarian looms larger than life

Literate lettered latitudinarian

Presents the following slapdash
higglety-pigglety bupkis, whereby reader
experiences being mentally hogtied
perusing pseudo poetic perambulation
devoid of sense and sensibility
welcoming character assassination
concerning pride of yours truly,
who merely strung together
words sharing "arian"

as their last five letters
for no...

The noblemen control the pen, indeed they own the farm,
but nonetheless exude finesse (and need I mention charm?)
with revenue to sate the few, exulting arm in arm;
for all the rest, they wish the best and...

Torn and Tattered Wings

It’s not easy to have seen
All the darkness inside you
Places I have been
Sorrow and degrading
Thrusting their blades epithetize 
Hard into your heart

I look in your eyes
See the padded cells of your tears
Their...

The early morning darkness oozes melancholy whispers

Swan Song

Stealthy killers have crept
Their secret bullet
Reaching this empty nest
Swans too unaware of attack
Arms aimed riffles

Pleasure hunted
Shock
Smile
Blast
Exhilaration
Death

Only one reflection now
No other dark gaze looks back
No other gliding ripples
All reassurance has gone

The lake of desolation
Coaxed her...

Fragile Steps

Fragile feet broken-in, glass slippers
waltzing through the ballroom.
The sweep of a cerulean gown,
charming, with angel wings.

Broken inside, fatherless, feathers
fall around her - weeping. Bullies - dressed
like sisters, tango around her tresses.

Pulling...teasing, stepmother leading.
Ribbons unwound.

Our window bids good morning 
as sunshine winks her delicate light,
cascading against crimson curves 
as the yearning spoon is stirred
and dawn shines past a moonlight trite
Fingertips caressing,
hips that beckon a lovers moan,
A slow descent of...

I sat in my yard, revering to the sublime splendor. 
A Setting sun lighted wheat fields with a gold fender. 
The universe is a celestial art by a creator in the sky,
Waves of fuchsia purple swept over...

When you look into his eyes
You must look ever so closely
Past all the cover ups
to an even greater distress:
A stormy & raging sea

If you can look beyond all the hurt and betrayal,
Mistrust & denial
You may...

Waiting for the cool sheen of the silvery moon to...

A dragon once saved my soul by giving me a heart, for my love, my magic was sincere.

Find places for meditation,
a strawberry path leading
to mysterious backwoods...
hear the woodpeckers
drilling through bark,
how frightening they are at dusk!


Meet the jolly woodscutter
gathering the fallen trunks
of cherry oak for a winter's fire...
or for furniture like coffetables and...

I still feel you in the summer meadows 
we walked
and in thoughts that shape 
prayers without words. 

I watched you 
staggering, panting, 
exulting. 
You shone like a cartwheel of light 
in my soul. 
And, oh,...

SANDCASTLES

Days off when I didn’t have to teach
Used  to take the boys to the beach
Instead of wrastling
To do some sandcastling
Moats,  bridges -  very  elaborate, 
Tunnels,  canals,   walls, ...

Oh! how gems sparkle from glinted morning dew
Wooing your view, amber rays peeking through,

Venerating...

Water - fall

An ocean of breathing
Indrawn to gather
Light sustaining
Swimming the patina of enchanted eyes
A myriad of scintillating bodies
Dancing
Permeating everything

Such colour forming in Day-Glo
Sunlight breaking
The night time beach of stars
Waves eternity into being
These proprietors of the...
