Long Hazes Poems

As winter hazes of January spraying
While I was meditating on how
To write this riveting poem which
Seemed to be for someone who
I never cast in my sight.
Despite her name is not an odd in me
But I...

On the eve of, demand. Betrayal was rising. 
The voice of strength evaded me. 
The knife pushed deeper in.
Darkness awoke within me. Its grip squashing the life I thought I had.
I hate you. I despise...

Brains in this group were graded according to a binary system. 
1 winner  0 as in loser.
A hypnotic mantra often - 
 “Winner, loser, hopeless chooser.”
There were even signs such as a straight finger...

I. The Lost

The sting of pain
It never leaves!
My heart

It lingers…
So vastly!
So deeply!
And the internal tears
They continue too!

Persistent
Falling without a sound
Abiding here
Still
Until, they are found

Begrudgingly to quit
Deliberate they fall
Drip…drip……drip
Like blood from a letting
Into the abyss

Reaching through...

“Go west young man”, the neighbors said; but they wisely stayed at home.
From pianoforte to pianoforte, saloon to saloon, town to town I roam.
Surrounded by Phillistines, “soiled doves”, cowpokes, and dullards,
Gamblers, dealers, dance hall girls,...

I met a Hippie walking down the street.
She had long hair, big eyes.
Wide-bottomed trousers, orange-red,
Covered in an intricate pattern
Of strange designs, flapped round her feet
And from her shoulders over a flowered blouse
Hung a black satin...

I walk the night 

over city streets trying to find some semblance of why I’m here, 
if there is a reason for my living, for me to be walking among 
the lights absorbing the sounds...

Core or hubs…
Change the chains related our mental health.
Free our slaves of silks and all untied.
China ill reputes may take a bath to wash.
Baths as French are beauty ways.

The road takes me on
Through meandering mazes
Into mists and hazes
Till the time of dawn

Fiery icicles swarm
As Heaven's haughty torch
Lies on azure porch
With flames to charm

Divine breaths plead
Pink rose-buds to dance
As swallows prance
Little mouths to feed

Drops...

The rooms are bright white,
empty square chambers.
With memories stale in the air.
The creeping echo of your voice.

Glossy refinished pine floors,
swimming in polyurethane.
Done new for someone new,
who can never appreciate our time here.

Hollow except the single...

Think things through,
Meditate and contemplate too,
Walk through the falling rain,
Bring down the rain...

Let those sky tears wash away yours
And caress your face,
None will probably notice
In such cloudy surroundings;
Down comes the rain...

Chased the waters,
Taken by winds;
The...

If only your heart could hop, as a frog
to aim away from the tedium of the daily slog.
Allow love to be the genuine treasure.
Your selected spot atop the magic tether
Trying to outlive your expected lifespan

One day you say I'm your favorite,
the next, life is flipping through pages.

I don’t understand all these places,
but I’ve never been afraid of the unknown.

So I’ll keep smoking my hazes,
until the end of time and...

A long drive down the Central Valley,
cool then warm, the kind of day in March
when the season can go either way,
back to winter or ahead to spring;
a day that draws new grass up 
in unplowed...

A rifle is not the weapon of choice this year
I am not here to try to shoot a deer
My eyes, my ears, my camera are the tools I take
My desire is to discover incredible shots...

She watches but doesn't see the crashing waves,
Awe and Wonder in her eyes as her mind replays.

Time's nightmare, Love's dream;
If only time and love could happily meet.

A beautiful sight, the sun setting over the ocean,...

Morning aloneness.
Dawn imparts prized magic.
Next, the star blinks and vanishes.
The Moon and Sun share the same sky.
Autumn trees reveal their souls.
was interred under a leafy canopy.
Hazy memories of the past persist.
Striking was impossible, yet I...

Beyond the time I bethought thy ambiguity
With you I aspire the longanimity
Beyond the prophecy there crests thy conceivability
With you I cognize the viability.
 
Beyond thy persuasion I bechanced your propinquity
With you I behold the emotionality

An indissoluble overcast
hazes stark starless skies,
submerging neuortic Atlanta's
shapely, contrasting shadows.

Peering through magnetic stratus
neon flashes a stuttered stammering staccato.
Silent voices scream out 
from their calico maze.

Treacherous felines prowl roof tops,
searching with iridescent eyes
for unway soaring eagles
jetting...

life hazes eyes with glimmer shimmer sun

Talk about me
Like I am not in the same room
Push me from your priorities, 
But your mind will not obey
You must engrossingly aknowledge
The edges that mishapen me

Slide your grubby fingers against the surface
Like you do,
Like...

Despite what might be pre- assumed, the thunk is through the thoughts

I can remember when the thoughts were alright
I can remember when the thinkering was thin and wheels spun in out-turn
I am the enter button...
