Long Fogging Poems

So, sorry for you claiming this sad, sad world;
In your desperate means to cling to a disintegrating dream of mankind;
Your rose colored goggles fogging with deception and hate;
I apologize to every spirit and soul caught...

2/6/21

Since the Jurassic
Time continually passes
Animals and people smoking or eating different grasses
Staying active
Instead of remaining passive
The population now massive
I roll around solo or among the masses
Seeing it crystal clear, or it's fogging up my glasses
In...

safety in number
not quite, not yet
but safety and comfort
trusted ones select
reassurances in subtle ways
challenges in gentle ways
guidance in assuring ways
thought-I am safe
lost though I fear I am
unsure where I'm headed
the new goal not focused on...

I ask myself 
Why must I follow the blind
Are these lies just fogging their mind
This path of devastation
That’s filled with lies of infestation
Is just right in front of you
This is just too sick to be...

A Rondo In 23 Verses

COVID is very inconvenient. 
Difficult to endure.
It controls my soul and my movements
It has ruined my life for sure. 

I hate masks but I wear them.
Fogging my view with each breath
They...

IN A TIME OF MICRO-IDENTITIES

At my Unitarian Universalist Society 
no one is Jane Doe or Jack Spratt anymore!
A person being introduced or referenced for their 
political, social or spiritual wisdom, their positive
impact on business, industry,...

In a vehicle, once more this month. Though not going as far as the palm trees, my stomach’s lurching left and right. The baby’s alright! He coos from time to time as we weave through...

Rongtern Mansion
By M. Taha Effendi

(Verse Libre)

The front door of the mansion mysteriously creaks open,

I freeze.

Hoping to hear a welcoming voice,
But all I hear is the wailing of the cold wind,
The pitter-patter of rain outside,
And the...

And when the humming of the wind 
Is relaxing upon the wisp of every solitary hair
That for ever shakes among the midst
Of each tantalizing promise of the falling rain
Upon which the grass is breathing 
Stretching...

Poetry IS the Mother of ALL art.
The completion and the part.
A private punchline-divine.
Be it the fruit or be it the vine.
It is The IS, sometimes the Music,
sometimes the Muse for us.
The usery that uses us.
The...

It seems like forever ago
That I jumped for joy at the first snow
The billowy mounds shining low
Glistening like diamonds on paved roads

As pure as a small child's heart
All that's evil, still in the dark

Making forts...

I was completely helpless to the crushing weight of my eyes being closed shut as the creeping darkness slowly cascaded its claws up and down my limp body.
Images flooded my mind fogging my sense of...

Past years of lives of ages gone
yet dark shadows shaping choices,
hiding unrecognized options
waiting for their New Year ReSolutions.

Future lives unraveling evil absent
blinders
doubling over crying laughter
days of PreMillennial Futures
cooperatively over-invested in competing
to Win a race only...

Vanishing souls lies in death's pastures
Fleeting joy, incurious in my surroundings 
Shades of green glistening in glory 
An unpredictable breath that barely measures
A destiny that lies and vanishes through the Death Valley

A heart's main glee 
Shines peaceably... passing...

You call me an opposer of racism,
a defender of human decency.
You call me a colorful quilt
filled with vast intricacies 
You call me a kindred soul,
one who is quick to lend a helping hand.
You call me...

Scars are the path to the soul,
Road signs written after the wounds occurred, 
Storm clouds fogging thought process,
Actions retell the history of the city in which your heart reside,
Words collide and battle intentions in vicious...

Who thought I was whack didn't know I was planning to come back hoes,

10/4/21

It all started with one, now I need at least two
This is just the preview
People only there when they need you
Fast to deceive you
Such actions are see-through
I took off on a ski-doo
In the air debris...

Freezing ...
in my bones
Purple fingers and toes
Twenty-eight finger bones X two
Twenty-eight toe bones X two
A large base with pain
Stiffness, can not be bent
Six hundred muscle cells
will not cooperate with the brain

Next minute;

Burning heat
Reading glasses ......

Lost in a fantasy

Thoughts... invade my mind,
stuck on rewind....
as I'm still ...missing you

Frozen emotions...
keep fogging... up my view

What happened to...
all the promises... that we made?

How could our yesterdays...
suddenly... go up in flames?

My sleeping beauty...
how could...

I’m hurting inside with such misery 
feeling like death at times 
dismissive falling to my knees 
Trying so hard to make you happy with love and reflection 
dreams now shattered 
can’t understand these thoughts inside...

A subtle foreign noise awakened me during the morning hours. I heard a thrashing of small branches breaking, as it proudly, without care, made it's way closer to me.

Quietly I made it to my bedroom...

A.W. Nutter

The landscape lay virgin and white
Warm breath fogging the morning air
Resting during the day, hunting at night
Hunger driving you from a secluded lair

The sun revealing diamonds in the snow
Making it hard to follow the...
