Long Forest for the trees Poems

for voicing shallow thoughts that gloss.
With trenchant wit he reaps the dross
when seeking sense in applesauce.

But to his aid flies FactoidMan
who always has a Fact at hand;
with him, who needs...

No one to depend on, no one willing to share my heart,
No one willing to share the sorrows, the hurt,

Sometime, I want to spend some time
Listening to the love that has always been mine,
Love, written in the eyes – of a mother, 
Her heart is so kind – oh, my, she is so kind!

Sometime,...

Take a walk and know the winter thoughts
 There is some time left to feel
the sweet essence of a wave a breeze
 The reminder of the plan ahead

Glistening on seas of pearl like caches,
Pouring out music, softly playing
In the rhythms of beautiful, 
Still as the moon, who colors the autumn
In reflections of soothing, comforting

Reflected in the moon’s soft glow,
A silent thought, reassuring
Moments caught by a lullaby,
Soft and soothing, gentling the colors,
Faded beneath the still, cool skies…

Whispers of faith flow through the nocturnal,
Dreary is the fate of those who...

Finally my blood began to coagulate
a graceful gel, gently thickened,
so – whatever I might feel, the settling of the wound,
has begun…

in sensitive silences, the shadows echo the fear,
felt by a heart who knows the starkness,...

Contrary to what a dream might wish for,
There are those, sometimes, who fail to see across
That unbridgeable chasm, the one that leaves the heart
Yearning for the light, the glistening of stars shining,
The whisper of a...

But for the first breath.. when the story
of forever, everlasting, eternity’s beginning
when death is a has-been,
and the new day, the new way, the...

Maybe I’m the world’s biggest fool; maybe my heart deceives my head,
Maybe I’m just paranoid; maybe I’m as dumb as you think I am.

Maybe she calls you everyday, and you whisper behind my back,
Maybe you...

Sleep, those putrid portions of decay,
wither away at my conscience,
and nudge my crusted eyes open,
to the pain of daylight usurping the drape.

Cynical her way,  Alaskans weathers her blight
The touch of her nature, the chills from her bite
Broken mobile, lost alone, this plane of...

How’s that working out for you?
You couldn’t see...
