Long Falconer Poems

“The Seance” 

It was macabre you see,
we were all summoned,
and therefore found ourselves
in the front parlour of Ballylee;

In our dreams
we thought we were poets
of fabulous notoreity, 
the head ghoul set us straight on that.

The planchette...

"Laureate"



Laureate 
speak now lofty phantom
to my mind

guide my hand 
I write I write I write

receptor of communication
things that are not mortal
Luminiferous aether 

sublime 
not normal writ
medium calculating in the script

In that other time
there you hold...

2024.2.24
One month passed since we first met.
Although we sat 1.5m apart,
We hardly interacted with each other.
Except when I needed to ask you some favours.
Today, you glanced at my computer,
You were surprised to see,
I wrote something...

There was a aseason

When love was love
the educated are uneducated
hunger was hung in daylight
when sins were seen in scenes

There was a season

when poverty was prohibited
obscenity totally abhored
the gods are justice par 
excellence
when people peopled with...

The nervous man
Slight awkward stance
Waiting for a train
Talking to the rain

Is he mad?
Is he sad?
A broken heart?
How many times has his life been torn apart?

He doesn’t fit in
Fashion and style were never his thing
His glasses,...

Here I was when you were born

With tears in her heart, she bore you.

And now you became the black sheep, 

The rotten egg hard to crack.

 

You made pains in her heart

Accusation fingers dare point...

Inspire me.... 
Even as I attempt this 
Iambic nonsense 
How can silence, 
Emanate from chaos:
It's direct opposite? 
A pure contradiction of concept...


Crashing, cascading....... 
In a metaphoric ambiance of emotions, 
Anger infused like an avalanche of...

My Maltese falcon and falconer
Of words, soaring above the net of love
I use to walk from tree to tree
To hear on earth the strangest thing
The falcon that flies and sing
And every house and every yard
In...

Weighing heavy on my mind
     like the hefty schoolyard bully
perched on the chest of his captured prey
     cruelly taunting

My soul, which wanted to take off and soar,

For a journey from low to low over high
a river only needs renewable energy:
sun and gravity as the skater
on a perpetual ramp. Only death

stops the circular talk into the hole
in the black wall where I...

She may walk among 
untrodden ways.
But beware,
your trips and slips,
face first slides into reality
Not always your own doing
Is ever present 
Always lurking.

Tight rope walking over well 
worn paths.
Danger lurks in the familiar. 
He who made the lamb...

A Falcon soared skyward
Gracing and inspiring the world.

She dived from the peak
And attacked with her beak.

She poises her wings
And pierces the mind with a wink.

Her eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
No doubt, she is...
