Long Flotation Poems

a heave and a shove, into the ocean she goes
where she stops no one knows,
floats and floats till it may sink
you may spot it with  red ribbon bows.

She sits on the bathroom floor 
Hiding behind a tightly closed door 
Afraid that prying eyes will see 
What society has forced her to be 

With fingers pushed halfway down her throat 
On the remains...

I’d extend an invitation
to all in the congregation
through this speech of inspiration
which is quite a compilation
yet I expect no adulation
and no gest of adoration
for in my own estimation
it’s a trifle occupation
clearing out the obfuscation
of a...

Turtles drooping can be signs of elitist tantrums on borderline wave cones. Such colours. And often feedback is not fodder so therefore indigestible. Taming a 3foot bullock who is battling to grow horns is often...

Rendered faceless by the artist, she appeals to the masses. This angel takes up the canvas. Her identity of she is given by the poet. Bold with chromatic colors. Only Gabriel and archangel Michael are...

She was the embodiment of beauty
The manifestation of goodness
Everything she did was 
Lovely
Graceful
Flawless
People would call he an angel
But no one saw the devil buried inside
Setting up camp in her heart
Breaking it and turning it dark
No...

Infantile ignorance takes a barge and a ship then sets sail. Passing one jellyfish stop and wave. But passing over nineteen thousand jellyfish stop and shoot. Shoot till all gone in a gloopy mess tangling...

Apprehensive and panic-stricken
I practice assuming the crash position .
While a “ fasten seatbelt” sign flashes
like a beacon, foretelling our demise,
cool beads of sweat form on my forehead.
A paralyzing anxiety washes over me.
My knuckles are chalk...

She was an aspiring starlet, a real cutie patootie 
Folks were in awe of her natural beauty

She wanted to be a great Hollywood star
But she’s taken the surgery much too far

Her teeth have been fixed...

Yawn said Saudi Arabian prawn in a bin liner watching a cake. Chopping cutting cuticles cubicles clubbing clang clanging clam. Drama is not an item in a scene. It is merely to disguise battling molluscs...

Give me your fears and hope,
the golden chains of your obsession
Let me vow bind your hidden hand past

THE SWEET SCENT OF FAILURE

I will speak in praise of failure
Long unrecognised: its worth
But with loss I won’t regale ya
Of its grieving there’s no dearth

For the striving and the yearning
That sweet savour of success
Counts for...

as if drawn by an invisible jury

the mood inched closer

to adjunction

incrementally and with

unbearable slowness of progress

it nibbled away at sizeable apathy

pinched a tiny chard of gloom

until the clouds burst into silent tears

Stalling asleep
dragged from my bed
a currency exchange of wet sheet rhetoric
begins flowing through my head

this isn't
really 
happening

chubby red devils
polygonal angels 

Gods and Goddesses
Playwrights and charlatans

really
be
happening

Fog rich terraformed formations
ferment within my grasp
yet...

Brine kisses window impermeable
Impermeable to sea’s hydration
Hydration fills the hull, so visible
Visible in ship’s flagging flotation

Flotation, bilge pumps’ precipitation
Precipitation steaming on motor
Motor caked with salt crystallization
Crystallization of need to defer

Defer to elements, a requisite
Requisite to...
