Long Gelled Poems

Spouse cannot forget mine suppressed flatulence upon our first date

While yours truly sat here 
at the desk housing MacBook Pro,
pondering his next idée fixe apropos
for gamut of anonymous readers,
he unexpectedly, noisily and effectually
exploded out rear...

I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.

Lying on afternoon chaise, in the golden midst of hot July,
As I watched mauve butterflies, and lazy...

My Hunt was for the sonnet gems.
My complacence was absolutely stunning.
Wiping out my fake dreams,the key to my 
happiness was setting a realisable goal.
On the island of luzon, a beautiful scenic 
province is well established.

"What is what?"

She points above my heart, to reveal a smudge of something.

"....O! I think that was the ice cream that fell on my shirt earlier today."

....O no, why did I say that.

I don’t think I shall quite forget the name Camilla Martin.
She’s the teacher of me grandson at the local kindergarten.
No question she’s a lovely lady; dedicated through and through,

Israel Beckoned...In A Dream

This secular skeptic beheld,
eyes hallucinated, harried, felled
and haunted by
holographic images gelled
that didst silently scream herald
ding exhaustively

roaming, schlepping, meld
ding and trudging across
elapsed, nor quelled
blinkered, bloodied dead souls
across fractured wartorn veld,
where bludgeoned ghastly

eons of...

I knew my ancestry and my dad was a joiner,
But verged on disowning my mum for labour,
Not married in history yet throbbing with spark, 
Love, truth, kindness fibered the gelled dark.

A stunner - intelligent, muscular...

Jealous, Jealous, Jealous

The swiftness of the Vessa just killed me, 
That speed and the grandeur of the seat, 
The frame’s shine and the four wheels free, 
The maroon leather upholstery neat. 

The diagonal pattern on...

I’ve behaved poorly every winter
I can remember, my awfulness in each
separated only by degrees,

of rooms I wouldn’t stay in. 

Hiding was easier.
I stuffed myself in the closet...

Upon the first date (decades ago) with the gal,
whose troth aye did pledge allegiance to wed
we agreed to dine at an ex-mex eatery
in north Wales, Pennsylvania, where angels feared to tread
carefully scrutinizing bon appétit the...

You stand at your front door.  Looking down, you see horror.  You freeze in that spot 
as from under the door, comes the bloody seepage of carnage.

It pools around you.  As you...

Loving you was something I chose to do; not something I was  forced to do but  
because you willfilly with great intentions and lots of love extentions to release

She said "I can't be with you, you've got such a big ego"
I replied, "I was bullied and people left my confidence at Zero"

As the rooster crows:   

A look in the pool mirrored  a perfect mop
At times of frizzy hair or defiant shaggy tresses
Ohhh the satisfaction at the sight 
And yabba, dabba, doo!! echoed loud...

Our paths did cross and that journey we took

The scenic route along the whispering brook

We stopped to smell the roses bloom

And see the birds with colored plumes

 

Life hast not spoken a life so serene

When tears dry up and laughter is not funny any longer
As duvet feathers grind the weary soul to sunken skin
The parchments dehydrated canvas folds the poet’s path
A cliche strewn among the notion ‘it will make...

and strolling around their garden I imagine our child:

grass tickling my toes like gelled hair, spiked when a teenager;
two slides out for summer, side by side, form his legs, sturdy;

her arms rise and fall in...

The mud lay there quite unnoticed and unconcerned,
Till the day a wandering crafting potter came by and settled,
He dug out the mud, shook it and sieved it for use,
Soon it was gelled with humidity into...

See in my head it made sense
You get none of the chances of being stabbed in the back plus the added bonus of not having to buy...

Looking for love but always failed;
Found many people but we never gelled..!!
When I wanted love, they wanted a friend..;
And when I needed just a friend, 
They were looking for someone else..!!

Once upon a Christmas dreaming 
Alphabets of spelling sleep, 
Coal and snow plumed shrouded wreaths,

Anyone would fancy fame
Till they realise it’s a right strain
And a way of sending your life down the drain

No privacy
No chance for the delights
Of the ordinary man’s liberty
And anonymity

Smothered by fame
Gnawed by the Paparazzi
Pursued
Caught
Exposed
The court...
