Long Farrell Poems

"Composing Opalescent"

then rising from great waves
thrashing in on our storm 
we are united mast-held and entranced
entwined limbs bathed in sensuality's
St Elmos Fire hitting our sharpest peak

I drink my root beer
with soggy fries
soiled buns
Hamburg runs
while watching the tube
in an unsightly nude
give me a Draft or an A&W glass
sitting in this position, it hurts my advancing Ass

Last year I wrote of a Red Sox team
The fans did not exactly scream
They could not swing, field or hit
Last place was theirs, that was it.

But John Henry said  ENOUGH  of that
I will...

In wait of task to tend.

Your thoughts to paper, penned. 

Intently, I perused the sheet,
Pale white and yet unmarked.
It lay there teasing...

Simon used to take part in motocross,
Before his bike stalled once mid-air,
When he was training on his farm land,
Which left him paralysed waist down.

He was born in 1982 on the 7th June,
And having fought back...

Bullets fly by at respective velocities in streets
As dark humor goes out the window in Bruges
Some one falls from the high church tower  
Assisted by gravity, a...

Results of pain maybe have been hurtful and debilitating,
And to God would best if we really started closer relating;
Stop ignoring;
Start adoring;
We must pray to God soon as possible without hesitating.

Find Father Farrell and Terrell

when over barrel
while incredible church is imperil
find (call) Father Farrell (Terrell)

when scalded with steam so it did see
when either having been suspectable to sterile
