Long Gnashed Poems

Fretfully aching to feel fit as a fiddle

After experiencing a severe,
albeit violent near lethal bout
of irritable bowel syndrome
(yesterday night August 30th, 2023)
triggered courtesy dulcolax caplets plus 
healthy portion of lentils,
I (a beatle browed, foo fighting,...

Many times I’ve longed to give up when tribulations did corrupt my life when I was 
young
But then you told me I would be unworthy of your only son

So from that day on I traveled...

The Holy Cross Redeemeth My Soul Forevermore


Your everlasting door
Is of ever old
My broken vessel you died for
Your jealous wrath is rather bold 
Your breath giveth life
Before honor is humility 
For your word is pure ,without...

O April
how I’ve longed for your return
to breathe new life 
into this gnarled body..
for these roots to be unfettered 
from the grasping earthen frost - 
the past season of fanged nor’easters gnashed 
me bare -...

Milanda keeps the voice to herself; she likes the keening of it.
The wails keep her on her toes, as the poltergeist rules her.
The shudders are drawn, and there are ghoulish shadows.
This is as it must...

From the crag I see the path
descend into the valley
shrouded in the shadows of
doubt, uncertainty, and fear of failure.
I see a white pillar cast in regret's cold salt-stone,
from which there is no turning back.
Even a...

The umbilical cord

Of surreals reality....

Mercilessly attached

To this shuddered room child

Inceptions twin, of the truly unwished for!?

Choked upon its arrival, incessantly

Into this third worlds realm

Destined, for pathos brain damaged

Behind these painted red doors

Of soon to be,...

once …

there - with trunks of monkey’s meth
there grew a breadth of bunky breaths
deplored by dreaded, drunky deaths
to calm their chemic coggers

Give ears to my words,
and consider my meditation.
Hearken unto my voice
and come to my habitation.

I have called upon thee,
for thou wilt hear me,
incline thine ear unto me
and hear my speech.

Today, forced to detour
Last week missed my plane
Blamed it on the heavens
No, not me. I am not one to be late
Gnashed my teeth
Gnarled in these jams
Do these passers-by know who I am?
No, they don't and...

JUST LIKE THAT

Amidst mixed expectations; came the unexpected
It all happened too sudden as was never expected
Out rightly, everything started to moved in the wrong direction
All that functioned stopped to function; the un-functioned started to function

la beauté du chaos

when there’s a fire in the theatre
when there’s word of an epidemic
when there’s been a car accident
when there’s been a fight in the parking lot

A book I often read my kids
Was Where the Wild Things Are.
The story’s strange and so is Max,
This classic’s costumed star.

His mother called him “Wild Thing”
And then he was sent to bed.
He missed his dinner...

More things can happen or could have happened,
From a cold metal,
Sharpened in fine fettle,
Making skin nettled,
Damaging the mettles,
To keep minds unsettled,
Provoking to ask, if this is or if this was real or mental?

Blade on arms,
Skin...

Walls all closed in 
leaving windows to shatter .
fragments strewn below bare feet
cutting, impaling soft flesh unforgiving.
confined in halls narrowing
as I run to a place, a point
devoid of escape

The beast draws closer now
gnashed teeth froth...

In the air,
dank mist rise to great,
while gleaming, white teeth are gnashed.

Roots seem to stretch to meet with small, outstretched fingers.

Her heart raced,
a loud pounding, throb echoing in her chest.
The growls rumbled low.

Three circled around.

Submit

I submitted my ego between the hollow of her horns
As tears and scream emanate from her apogee
The sweet sensation of my aroma sweep through her spine
Spilling Adam's gifts
The becoming of a small Adam
As
Guilt stood before...

I came into the world of my own
but the world received me not
Mama pinched my cheeks
violently slapped and expelled me 
and threw me in dustbin of rot

I wept and gnashed my teeth
called for my father...

In the jungle so dark and deep,
Where many men refuse to sleep.
While overhead flies giant bats,
There proudly lives the king of cats.

With sharpened claws and lion's mane,
He seeks and hunts in his domain.
Hungry on his...
