Long Forward motion Poems

Perpetual Quandries of Dischord

Permanent irreversible Attatchment disorder
A lemonade stand at the Mexican Border
A traumatised disorganised old lady hoarder
The incriminating evidence on an old tape recorder 

Elements of discontent shivering through a crowd 
Firmaments of promises...

‘Twas but a mist-enshrouded speckle
dark-painted on looming horizon.
Petty worker holds unwavering watch,
silently, stealthily keeps his eyes on.

Forward motion undeniable,
each passing minute size increasing.
Small heart stands alert and viable – 
beating fast and tremulous; though, never...

just drink from the cup
as the river of oblivion flows
some try to stand in stagnant waters
others cocooned by the edges
seeking a cure from the inevitable

I see everything
a whole journey crystal clear
these seconds of clarity won't...

it is just the way i feel about myself
i call myself the man

Now put your left foot forward.
Next put your right foot ahead.
See how that works?
See how the workings of these two appendages
Facilitates the outcome
Of one continuous forward motion
To where you’re going … in this world?
Welcome,...

Tight Spaces 

I wriggle through the tight spaces, 
moving between these fussy wise cracks,
all in forward motion, my forward goal,
moving towards a light beyond, way up ahead.
A dimming glow, like a watery eye,
lubricating and easing...

Whatever Weekend

Being humble common pathways ere,
I ought traveled nearby that lea,
Past the margin of my home there,
Where the daffodils fickle sprightly,

As I shared the natural trail lead,
General impressions befall o'er sunlit,
E'er lighthearted...

A GUMMY FISHERMAN
By
Kevin L Fairbrother
The sheltered bay disguised what was to come
Around the headland we hit it head on
Four to five meter waves and breaking on top
And a wind that was building making lots of...

That's a long way from sighing freely
just one calm brushstroke
wrapped in a sea of tranquility
to suit phantom clustering to occur

         soundless groans of despair
         permeate deeply below

Does it truly matter if
There is anything after this?

Who can say
Night and day

Questions that just may never be answered
Amid a world full of so many colors, shapes and patterns

Sky's the limit
If you actually try to...

Its creation’s simplicity still stands as a difficult puzzle
head is twisted backwards while in a forward motion
still looking behind at the chronicles of some centuries ago
long before the infiltration of Christian missionaries and Arab traders
is...

Unwind


I see before me an interminable
Ages and hours repeated in seconds
Their voices I never heard
Stretch out
Creep-able 

Yawn at the very least !

Un- breathed promises
To wait
Garrotte the days
Before they have happened
Twenty-four hours
To the next one

I see...

No matter what you give
In this world which we live
It is never enough
But you hang tough
No matter how rough
Hard to do
When feeling blue
Look for a light
Does not need to be so bright
Look beyond the sorrow
Into...

1. A heart in need of a permanent home
but not this vagabond in a split shift
who always flunks honesty. 
Promises in tonnage but so eolian
forward motion in a reverse gear
yet I am so blind to...

I lurk in the shadow of band with words worthy of the pianist's hands. My nature speaks, not rings in tones. Sadly my lady's words rain dour doubts building wall's of stone; let the music...

I want to relinquish this stagnant pain. 
It has been lurking in my subconsciousness 
and perforating my reality for too long. 

I try to extricate myself from this servitude 
but it sticks to my fingers...

Answerable to no one, thoughts are free
Belonging a choice, settle in or flee
Charter a course, any direction
Decide the stops, make a connection
Engineer all you wish to achieve
Find your vision, just believe
Generate always forward motion
