Long Flatters Poems

Marriage has lost its security and the vow, its invincibility
especially in a generation so saga and scandal loving
and a society rarely frowning its face to traditional unfaithfulness.
Setting up the stage for lots of pests 
to...

Dear Old Joe,

I have found a retiring fascination
with right nature conserving
and yet very wrong 
left-handed spiritual answers

Messengers to invite
more deeply recreating 
natural outside
spiritual inside 
co-arising questions

Unanswered lifespan queeriosities
about important Earth health
and personal ego-safe wealth
preservation matters
that...

(Quintin Horatius Flaccus, Roman Poet, 65 B.C.-8 A.D.)


Yes, yes, I know what they say about me – know it well,
		too damn well, in fact: that I am short,
squat, and overweight with a face even ugly...

Maybe it’s unacceptable 
Live a life capable of a true fable 
True friends never end 
But take you back to where it all began 
But hey misery gave us something to believe in 
Stress became...

A little smile delights my soul
A little money appreciates my life
A little love achieves my goal
A little care flatters my wife 

Strengthening my resolve to perform better
Duties and responsibilities I bear
In my role as family...

There are things that I'm going through that no one knows of

My untamed heart, 
ruled by unruly wants
Sometimes in tatters, 
but flatters and taunts

I played at life...
but life played me harder,
Lived bet to debt...
in life's Russian roulette

Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship, 
stranded on breakers
searching for life,...

Saying Happy Birthday to you
Really flatters you and me too

Wishing you a joyous day
Memorable… Never to fray

Do enjoy every bit of it
Until you fall in love with it
One hundred years run it
Lug your pail and...

My middle aged spread is just spreading
So I thought I should join a new gym
Got to fit in my dress for a wedding
With some exercise I could get thin

I’ve got these new gym pants that...

Way down deep in their heart
the wicked's voice speaks transgression
no fear of God have they at al
seeing no need for their confession

Evil's never a no go area
plots trouble always even in bed
their words come with...

Whom to identify? Never you, dear.
Striving to please others means easing yours, I fear.
You vanish, unreachable in the crowd.
After greater life wisdom, it may be allowed.
 
But even then, the question remains: is it worth it?
To...

The birth place of world war II
after an invasion void of any declaration.
Stamps on history’s book by feminine hands
to ascertain the first death sentence of the same human disaster.
A time frame marked its stolen identity
signifying...

Time, they say, just doesn't wait,
It just moves steadily on;
And if the moment isn't siezed,
Then that moment's gone.

In many ways I guess that's true,
We can't let time just pass;
But spend it wisely and acrue,
The things...

Twist in your dark deep eyes flit me, your body engulfs the thoughts. 
Crazy upstart, floating lock, graceful body dexterous striptease dance,
Walk me to your room, steroid zombie in moves, rave, exult to crave.
I hold...

Remain receptive and objective
Though environment spins crazy
Twisting and insisting subjective
Attempting to drive away Daisy 

To coerce you to surrender
To wills and seals bent
On nurturing and culturing agenda
You feel reel Hell sent

Messages within passages manipulated
Slanted, blunted,...

You had to have a watch.
To tell time, of course, you shouldn't be late;
and to know that you know the time;
and besides, they looked so debonair.
Inaudibly, nonchalantly, comfortably sitting, sliding
on great, big wrists or slim,...

Walking down a forsaken road will often lead to mourning
Life offers no guarantee of happiness. There is no warning
that in dark places, there lurks a wicked demon, spawning
temptations before us. We should reject him with...

Daddy never told me I was pretty
Instead he told me to be smart and study. 
Read a lot, be well-behaved and witty.
That would bring you far. Now I am muddy

And stained with hearty failures, ugly...

I use time not on shorelines, watching
The great yellow orb…..never rushing
To fade and rest…..before the laughing
Eyes of lovers, as noon wind touching
Them, beneath the coco palms, kissing

But I, like bird on a mango tree nestle
Clinging,...

"Dragonfly Teases"
 

 
He sweetens 
his days
and nights
Poe like
holding fishnets
clicks bait
and sweats
absent 
casting 
mystery 
reels 
he spins 
on the 
mouse wheel 
eternal 
harsh
addiction
he’s hooked
on numbers
in the trapping
is trapped
in the books
he is cooking

Some kind
