Long Helms Poems

Continued from Part 1

Hungary hounds harangue the highlands,
howl at skies and desert islands…
Below, unfettered carbon crows conceal the parting path she chose

Lighthouse lamps and lanterns lolling…
Mute abandoned fleets are calling…
The shallow shadowed portholes vaunt dim...

With the heavy load you suffer
a substance not needed
yet drags you
cushioning your efforts
and deterring your pace, forgetting that
the Train is already moving
with passengers determined
for this journey.

Why get so distracted
by passers-by focused to catch up?

Homey eyes of peasant stew
A cozy-colored mossy mew
Stony cottage, snowcheeks bleu
The forest fins for frosted fruits.

The warmest thought speaks crumbly bread
A partridge purr puffs through my head
That grants the grunkest grue a ‘Get!’
To packrat out...

I

You died at 22; left me alive
At 25 to write this sonnet tomb;
Block letters hewn, with fumbling hands I drive
This pen in metered clangs around your room. 

In desperate pause, I step away to see...

There is a full moon at your doorstep,
a silver coin placed on your navel rubbing 
its metal which Perches on body of humans,
Clouds walk on the horizon and etch new rivers
 on your body feeding...

In a world of mellifluous dreams,
Where whispers embrace in soft moonbeams,
A moiety of verses, murmuring in rhyme,
Revealing the secrets of an arcane time

Nemesis, the muse, with susurrous breath,
Weaving tales of love and death,
Her voice, a...

Beneath the velvety canvas, where countless stars gleam bright,
Lies a tranquil sea of dreams, bathed in soft, silvery light.
The gentle waves whisper tales, of distant lands and realms,
Carrying upon their tender curls, dreams like precious...

Change the chains related our mental health.
Free our slaves of silks and all untied.

Misery Laid Upon Soft Kindled Pine

The great Judge marks this hour at noon
 bright was this day in month of June.
A kinship richly felt with wooded glen
 saddened by the evil in hearts of men.

rests in the quiet, draped in a peaceful love.
A lamplit house, its windows softly aglow,
Whispers secrets only the night will show.

Over the velvety gloom,...

Certainty waits in caves, lost and found, in modern sites,
Where chaos helms the deep layers of dimensional light;
Far, in May's cool autumnal nights,—her footsteps trek
A prism of thought,—constellations tracing her back.

Alone, we sit.
The silence of words
best left unspoken
drowns out 
the din
of busy, bustling
people. 
Coming, going,
chatting, and laughing.

of our small
plane of reality.
They cannot perceive
the fervent thoughts
we share.
Only our eyes speak,
and voluminously. 
Darting
and flashing,
fleeing
and chasing....

When need be
violence must be scripted without diction
the whole agly truth must make the pugent
In our world, need I say third
peaceful matching is an obscure tale, abominable by all jurisprudence
Headlines score cards for gallows humor,...
