Long Hasp Poems

The attic trunk, dirty, and oh so old
Had survived the many years untold
Sitting there midst the quiet dust
The hasp and hinges brown with rust

In the young girls’ mind she was compelled
To see what it was...

What mountain’s top holds truth’s last stand,
 its vista viewed as life’s specific grandeur;
 promised above earth’s horizon,
 soon home to you, this present era’s raconteur;
 prized perch upon and soon so manned,
 spirits to...

Dave 

Everyone needs a Dave.
He checks how you are..
He's the one who sees beauty
Through your feathers and tar 

As a friend he is priceless.
As much gold as Fort Knox..
He can see your potential 
Lifts that...

Ripples of gawk and gaze splendour,
at one’s fingertips eternally,
cornucopia an instant dream float,
golden gust garner without rein,
indulgent Pysche extract from nirvana,
but voyage of the quadrille quill,
on impact whilst a glittering weave,
admission of luxurious  environment,

The story is told of a Maori King bold
Who dared cheat the Prince of Siam.

Hand Stand
Thumb Works With Digits to Grasp,
Beholding the Design Makes Me Gasp,
Quite Beholding a Tool Like a Jeweler Hasp.

Each Body Member Complex Beyond,
What We Take for Granted, Look Again, A Second,
All Our Meant Equipment Causes...

A transformation;
molecular sensation; 
I am one, with all.
A snowy atom, haze 
in transcendental gaze, 
is freedom for a soul’s ways.

Betwixt the jubilation 
and spiritual elation; 
mind collects its new momentum…
off it goes to seek new...

Yes, the full bloom is pretty
all that culmination just short of perfection,
            that opening,
a hasp and harbor for light and warmth
a wide-eyed blossoming
raised up...

As youth flows out with middle age,
I find it hard to turn the page.
Life deals the cards and calls our name.
We ante up, or leave the game.

Working, saving, spending, craving

If success is measured by the...

The scuffling duo sparred in the park
Their screams and shouts so very marked
A bag was clutched in the woman's hand
A man had grabbed it while he harangued

"Let go!" He shrilled and tugged it more
"Tis mine,...

I stand at the gate looking outward,
o'er its spires of gilded gloss
of silent hinge that never wither
to the ravages of time.

Long have I found haven 
on this side of the gate, 
even as unkind gods...

Black shadows passed through trees
Passed through stone walls
Crept up galleries and halls
A gem to take
A gem to seize
 
The Shadowfire
For, the gem does possess,
strength and conscience
These are the things the Ice King desires
 
A stolen...

I don’t get that much time alone these days but I’m not complaining.

Your presence
is a fluttering in the throb of my pulse.
Our wide-open eyes collide
with a zealous sexual urgency.
Your body heat
swirls beneath my skin
as we wrestle with fierce passions.

We are clasped in the hasp
of a thankful ardor,
saturated...

Peeking through the clouds occasionally
A lone star winks at me through the window
Forcing my attention away from late night TV,
Compelling me to notice it so far away, though,
Seemingly as close as the nearby streetlight
Which, of...

A-s-p are three high-functioning letters
And while I imagine that some might do better
  Here are some ways to bring them together

At the start of a word we have aspirin and asparagus
Not to mention aspartame,...
