Long Gnarling Poems

red lights blinking rapidly 
I didn't make the connection
as soft music floated unseen 
from cars heaving with undulating motion 
gentle, rhythmic, but forced upon 
as ruby lips pressed into service 
with legs spread wide, most...

It  was  very cold outside .
 Mist and fog engulfed everything on the earth
 to be viewed by mortal eyes . 
I was roaming aimlessly – 
unclad with any manmade clothes . 
Frowning...

Wood sapped Energy succudancing up gnarling roots
grasping trees of life
erupt to full parasitic bloom
within millennial Great Transition
blaring autumnal winnowing of karmic stamina.

Fire brings full-flaming confidence
derived from summer's thirsty rain of seed-
recessing roots
plunging and emerging
rich deep...

How refreshing is this sweet summer night
Crickets sing of the folly of man
While wolves howl of his elusive grip on power
Somewhere, in the darkness, a fire burns,
Propelled and kept aflame by a loner,
A loner, who...

as my lips lay thin in the dry...

WINTER BLUES

 A cold, rainy, winter day brings sadness and a blue funk
No sun to disperse the gray clouds of despair

I must look for something to do

Splashing, thrashing, wetly crashing
      rages the rolling sea, 
like a dying serpent swirled 
      in waves of misery!

Carrying the fever and heat
of love’s first flame,
I set out on a journey
expectant and anxious, 
sealed and tight lipped,
all emotions bottled.

From port to port I journeyed,
travelling in a little love vessel.
What a heavy cargo of...

The gleaming warriors of Light advance
Aflame with Life, their shields aglow with gold
And lambent fire a glint from sword and lance.
Their silver battle-axes flash and flourish, bold

And brutal in mad massacre.  The hordes
Of Death...

I have spoken much -
my trivial record of the hours.
God has not troubled me much, 
while ants and termites continue to terrorize nations.
The ugly I have found to be beautiful,
and the beautiful ugly.  The...

god has not bothered me much
he said
ants continue to terrorize nations
the ugly I have found to be beautiful

the gnarling tree trunk 
they believe in me

what I see - I am

There is a victory, written in the rotating of stars,
A victory of Spring at the death gasp of Winter’s jaws;
Yet as black toffee ice trickles from the black hills,
Like moonlit blood on the teeth of...

thee deep seated hatred gnarling 
at ones soul beckoning eating away 
of the sheer foundation of self 
a terrifying entity alive and well 

searching the innermost calm 
of a peaceful being believing in 
the purity...

Hey bro,
Have you checked up on her lately 
Did you ever apologise for what you did
Have you asked her friends how she's doing 

Bro,
I know things are not the same as they were
