Long Fast one Poems

LIFE IN ETERNITY*


1.

The cheerful trumpet of miraculous life, imperatively sounded in 
My mother’s life-giving womb,
Heralding with its melodic tune another animation: MINE!
And as my innocent infantile heart was provoked by
The challenging divine call, 
Started beating...

"Resolving Issues"

Should a problem arise between you and another one,
Handle it maturely with them before you jump the gun.
Take the subject up with the other one affected,
Not with other people while the right one is...

In this noisy world of busy lifestyle
That seldom show silver lines on dark clouds,
When time speeds so fast one can’t hope to catch,
And goals flex such that one can’t hope to reach,
Where’s that tranquil time...

He was cold, and, suffering bad...
She was far too hot,
A cooling breeze...
She wished that she had...
So he turned up his temp,
And her's, she turned down,
And it's more than hard to believe,
Just how fast one can...

Words unsaid can be undone
And in this way our liberty's forgone
Are we so abandoned in our quest for the throne
That we leave each other starved, carved and alone?
That we remain quiet in the face of...

consuming only greens,
probably thought that’d they’d
shed the pound, might’ve been a

might’ve been a sudden love of
animals that led them to getting rid
of anything that hung in...

Used in drama class 
One was happy one was sad 
After the lecture the students mastered the art to hailing a cab 

There once were masks 
Used in health care class...

An Inqiury into Today's Poetry

Poems get shorter.
Emails near non existent.
Texts really shrink!
We live in a world of 'xoxo'
Or -)) an amazing, endless list.
Our time, we tell others, is short.
People have to guess what we think?

Time so...

On a damn lot
It's always blast off
Still out to hit the jackpot

For too long I've gotten nowhere and
I know I am
Still a lonely man
Not all goes to plan
Across an unholy land
Where precious resources are mostly...

As preacher’s daughters we had to toe the line,
But sometimes our halo slipped and we weren’t too divine.
When my twin sister and I were 15 we rebelled against the rules,
And pulled a fast one on...

Sometimes, I write for my father who taught me how to write my first letters of the alphabet.
All before he was denied and taken from me, so fast, one could barely think to see.
I remember...

I believe in love, but it's shadowed by doubt.
Doubt from my experience along the way.
Something that I thought I would never find out.
But things don't always work out, do they?

Maybe I turned away or I...

Crack open an eye on Saturday morn,
and reach out to give him a cuddle.
To find he's been up since break of dawn,
and crouched in a black oily puddle.
Began with the Polo, a fast one I...

Where were you when i lived on gunshots and teargas, 
When the violence intensified and put fear on us, 
When the police brutality coasted me a friend and my face, 
When the eviction notice saw...

He gave her an inch and she took a mile
He'd do or say just about anything to see her smile
With a huge heart of gold, she was the furthest thing from vile
She took the felines...

Irma pulled a fast one
Just before I closed my eyes
Took a right turn to the East
To sooner see the sun arise

Was supposed to go to Tampa

I woke up
My room shines bright
Moon light is pretty tonight
Barely strenght to move but effort is my fight
Clever move to stand up
Now the walls blow up
The sky is dark
Moon becomes red
Candles turn off
An old blood...

Better slow down. 
Better still, just sit and hush.
On the road to kingdom come
It doesn't pay to rush.
As you race through those canyons 
Of concrete and steel,
Don't fall for a fast one
And slip beneath the...

Wherever Were You

Wherever were you when the wolf dropped by?
Out reading my great poem saying my oh my
And if you were to write something like that
You'd be unruly Republican or dumb Democrat.

Were you ever taken...

Erika Renee, my little child,
you are growing too fast,
seems like yesterday I held
you in my arms, as I rocked
you to sleep.

I remember when you called
me papa in such a cute little way
and the enchanting smile...
