Long Hangar Poems

I awoke early that morning

to an unfamiliar familiar sound.

I rose from the bed with cacophonous singing

ringing in my ears, separated the curtains

with the breast stroke of an Olympic swimmer,

and opened the blinds to the on...

      In the purple shadows of the black's monoliths, where an ancient echo calls forth, at the blurry forge of "Ralkon Dis",
a salient dragon from mystery's petra cliffs drifts you...

Time moves on never stands still
It changes the outcome no matter the will
Of the dreamers who hold on to and then
Each moment happens once then never again
I had a feeling this...

SENSITIVITY

They’re all ignored by us, but they have feelings too :
A black  gravestone  in  New York, down in the world, 
Recalling its halcyon days as a part of 
The impressive strata ...

Boohoo is bidding for Boo-Boo
But Yogi’s not seeking a deal,
He’s scanning the park for a picnic
Looking forward to his evening meal.

Warner Brothers deny their involvement
So investors are kept in the dark,
But rumours are spreading ’round...

Once filled with joy and wonder,
Now cracked with blood and powder,
Yet molded by ceramic lava with no ocean lover,
Laced by unfiltered poison with no filtered antidote,
While punching bag pulses raced through the steamy ridges.
The village...

There's No Bunny Hop

for yesteryear's bunny rabbits wag a fury tale. 
she bit him. he bit her. 
there's no carrot to share. 
with him missing a big patch of fur, 
here, there, everywhere.

Storm 

The waves in the storm raged Pacific Ocean waves became 
deep ravines and tall mountains; in the binoculars, I saw 
an American hangar ship, its massive deck was glistering iron 
swept of all human...

It isn't that often as time marches on
that my glad rags come out for a 'do',
more funerals now, each year more friends have gone,
and no births to welcome someone new.
But a forthcoming bash meant I...

Blackness occupied blackness.
Like it was the world.
Yet there was more.

A chink of light.
As bright as creation.
It grew till it had form.
A line that grew into a rectangle.
Bright as life.

Bigger and bigger till things could be...

The ladder slipped and Dave hung on from the roof for dear life.
He was building a hangar for his plane, and felt the cold like a knife.
It was near zero out, and he was hanging...

Feel like I'm at a stand still in life
it's like everyone wants to be #1 
but I can't please everyone 
I'm back in that prism 
I vacated that prison 
I done my time
paid my debt...

the astronaut follows in silence
the trace of the beacon lights on the platform floor.
in front of him, the beautiful and sinister steel dome
floats supported by element 115.
the dome gates slide in pairs
at the top of...

I need a cougar,
Who’s ready to love again
Even if she’s gone through past pain
But, understand this will be the last and main
For the purpose of us becoming one flesh.

I need a cougar,
With compassionate heart
Better-still, with...

Behind barbed wires,
High fences, guard dogs and heavy gates,
Lies my mansion.
A castle and a fortress
To keep out unwanted guests
And prying eyes.
I have the best of everything:
Cars, clothes, cash and cutlery;
Hand woven carpets and all the
Luxury...

W eeping fills the hangar as his casket is brought out,
E mbraced by Old Glory's colors, a fitting soldier's shroud.
L oved one's hearts are shattered, future hopes, dreams are crushed;
C omrades in arms salute him,...

I Don't Want To Read Your Blog Brian Strand.
I just want to write a poem.
I'm done with instructions.
I'm done with obedience.
I'm done with the topsy.
Just give me the turvy.
Turvy, turvy, turvy all the time.
I'm done...

They find me here, 
a flickering vestige,
under incandescent 
pendulum lighting 
that was not long ago 
strung up and tied 
to the center beam
 
of an old moribund 
shoestring warehouse 
with the guilty look 
of an...

The walk-in closets were such a big hit,
They made this apartment, one she couldn’t resist
We moved in together on a New Year’s Eve
Christening each room, watching the old year leave

As the years passed by, the...
