Long Fatted Poems

This town, this Silk Road had no toll to pay
  yet from the east caravans again fill its
pharaonic marble and glass temples. Monolith

malls rise its clefts, eco-wilderness morph
  into multiplex cinemas; mini golf...

Ruminating on the events over two-thousand years ago:
the life, suffering, death, burial of Jesus, and the exciting,
dramatic, and supernatural arousal of Christ, incarnate -
from death to life, of the imputation - his sacrifice.

Jesus is the...

Now gather around, ye lusty lads, a tale I'll tell to thee
Of jealous Gods, monsters and ill-fated men who sailed the sea.
My tale is set in hoary times when fickle fate was by divine decree.
Then...

The warmth no longer comes
it seems to only leave.

The furry ones, all
caught in hypnotic disbelief:
hardening ground's
taken root
where once
gardening grounds
(forsaken, mute)
were once and again
makin' fruit.

Each beast, shaking
like a leaf
(though, truth be told
I've only ever 
seen 'em...

He was gone for all of that time
No one knew what his life was like
He could have been a thief or murderer
Only God knows all that he’s done
Why would Daddy let him come back home?

An ancient land covered in desert sands
where the wind weeps lullabies of lost souls
The pale moon shivers in the cold night
as the wind reveals a head carved in stone

Sharaou, Sharaou
A land when time was new
Sharaou,...

(woman)"Just cause I didn't smile at you
Just cause I didn't wave
I'll not wear feelings on my sleeve
That's no way to behave.

But it could be, that I like you 
Maybe like you quite a lot
You won't...

HAVE YOU HEAR FROM MY FATHER?
Have you hear from my father, okadigbo?
He was among those captured in the oil well
Around the black river of delta in the south.
Days ago they had gone with their hungry...

Faded flags
Both American and Rebel
flutter Pale and neclected
in the acrid October wind.
Long Thin sticks poking into graves.

I stand away, watching 
remaining unseen by the living
as they lower another beloved,
long forgotten by most,  
into the...

Your goodliness and Godliness parades around in my head
and makes me scoff.
I used to be that way too but the devil came by with her enticing ways.
She had such a convincing spiel, I followed her...

Scripted
Euphuism
and "I decrees"
High school 
dropout~
six degrees.
the slight 
deviation  
of parted
lips laced
with lipstick 
tasting temptation 
trailing off on collars 
painting necks
and sensitive subjects
the way LSD
creates psychedelic 
sightings
I feel feelings 
all over me.
Snapping fingers
trying to remember...

Seven A.M., feet on the floor, pajamas in-car 
for a favorite drive-through fast-food treat?  No, 
it's the coffeepot, and turn on the broiler, less of 
a spoiler, but kudos in Heaven. Breakfast's in the...

The Brook


He lived near a brook
By a scraggly nook
So he fished every day
Using string and no hook.
His house made of sticks
Three stairs made of bricks
He sat on at sunset
And did magic tricks.
When the rain poured
Through...

Amid fallen leaves from Autumns show,
Caught in a flickering fires glow, 
Upon fatted moon of butter white,
Gazed ancient eyes on frosty night.

Blue, woaded face turned to the sky,
Heavens orb in ancients eye, drew warmth -
Yet...

Oh, America,
my beloved America.
The world owns your soul,
and chortles as catastrophe comes.

Bartered was your legacy,
for riotous living,
and pottage no longer gratifies
your innards cravings.

Terrorist lambaste your innocent,
and spread false doctrines.
Fear and anxiety hold you captive,
casting foreboding...

I belong to no Party.
Or political wing.
Social, Tory or anything.
My club is me.
I am free.

No woman has me engaged.
No ring or marriage  arranged.
Never been on my knees.
To say my pleas.
My heart belongs to me.

A mystical cross on the inside of your palm
Means your life is foretold in a glorious psalm.

Lucky bracelet rings around your dainty wrist
Means you were created in energy’s mist.

LEOPARD

The big cat stalks the shadows,
Searching for his prey.
He's quick and strong this predator,
And patience his mainstay.

Now he lurks inside the fence,
He's got into the house,
And I can tell you this big cat,
Searches for no...
