Long Holograms Poems

An image of the netherworld envisioned by a misanthrope

Mein kampf fraught re: 
emotionally/psychologically challenged 
impossible mission to cope
compared to classmates, I felt like a dope
and entertained escapist fantasies,
whereby Miss Rainbow 
(sixth grade student teacher),

"Within An Ancient song."
A story poem
By, Michael .P. Clarke.

(EPIC.)

Anubis' Temple.

The Valley of kings
Here they were again
No successful dig
This time steps they found
Everyone did dig this day
Digging down
More and more steps
In the depths a mighty door
On...

Deep within the bowels of the Earth
(dark visceral centre)
immensely distant from the sheltering sky
amidst a thick fog enveloped landscape
with here and there a projected
craggy, derelict chasm
precipitously crooked 
rocky claws pointing toward

an infinitely wide yawning abyss

Deep within Earthen bowels
immensely distant from sheltering sky
amidst a thick fog enveloped landscape
with here and there a projected
craggy, derelict chasm

precipitously crooked 
rocky claws pointing toward
an infinitely wide yawning abyss
dwelt kindred spirits 

comprising soul asylum
where grateful...

This is where my grief met Jeremiah's lamentations

OUR FATHER
As far as the east is from the west, that’s how far the Lord has removed our transgressions from us?
Why do I feel not far removed from...

Once I found my ground
I felt rivers coming down
warmth in my cheeks
mourning the old soiled soil
that ceased to exist

I let life drop violently on my tendency to coil
Unaware that the opposite motion
Would stretch my arms
Legs
Torso
Dreams

Holograms and hieroglyphs

The whole weighs heavily
touched caressed lightly 
brushed on feather canvass
granite marble marvellous papyrus 
innocence rejuvenated
partial and impartial

Chiselled in and out
of comprehension angled
layered facets facts
subjective trueness 
ciphered and deciphered

Snow flakes teardrops
ink on paper hailing...

a tsunami catapulted cruising skiff
skyward landing with quiet thud
across undulating infinite granular waves
formerly solid state rocks and minerals

optimism vibrant upon initial unforeseen
crash asper for test dummies
foundered as undertow fostered diminishing hope
initial faith for survival quickly...

You refuse, refusing the salvant call,
laying there in fetal position,
enthralled by my hex of vinegar and scrawl of liquids release that just seem to pour out of me organically.
Hissing in Wormwood's frequency dwelling, Hollywood "your...

As Pharoah thought
Deep thoughts on Thoth,
He became serious
And thought of Osiris.

What of Seth?
What do Anubis and Horus sayeth?
Of Amun and Mut,
And panoplied Nut?

It may take me forever
Mused the Pharoah -
To invent the Alphabet
To honour me...

Imagine that you die,
Then
The day of your judgment comes,  
No, you are not judged in secret 
But
You are judged in plain view of all, 
Your loved ones that have left 
Before you:
Grandparents, parents, brothers,...

Hieroglyphs are old writing systems
Hieroglyphs as “sacred writing”
Writing forms in Egyptian language
Writing with pen and ink on papyrus
Papyrus as a paper made from plants
Papyrus used by the ancient Egyptians
Egyptians constitute of Egyptian Arabic
Egyptians sharing a...

What are we actually doing day to day?  
What is this shallow shuffling we think is our life?
What part of living requires possessions or notoriety?
What reverse inspiration invades us to make us feel doubt...

Aghast
Sans shutting the dresser fast

Walking along the Tiber's River walls,
one discovers hieroglyphics
depicting images of Romans
engaging in battles; they seem
mythical warriors so appealing. 

As legend goes, Romulus 
became the first roman king,
he founded Rome once 
an insignificant rural village;
in the...

Antares' red glow bears firmly down
upon plush, chartreuse carpet
lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote 
blue sphere, purling,

spinning helplessly 
through distant time and space;
slave to routine and rotation,
never daring to break free;...

First-Person Personal
By Sy Roth

Here adrift wrapped in a coat of heebeejeebies
Fearful of using the first-person personal
Masking it instead by holograms of itself,
Playful non-entities cavorting among the semi-living.

Used to squirrel the words away like nuts now...

When I died a queen in ancient Egypt it was the custom,

On the walls of my...

Once upon a fantasy- of meat and potatoes and gravy
I closed my eyes- and saw a memory.
(but opened them again to watch TV.)
Poetry can be whatever you want it to be
except a definition in a...

I ask you for a favour.

I creep forward, 
With my head slightly bowed
Like Manuel approaching Fawlty

Fearing the assured explosion
That doesn’t disappoint by erupting
With a torrent of rage, words flying from
Places that can’t be imagined by...

I am lost in the heart of time and place
Stranded between the present and past
In my view are members of a civilized race
Whose slaves build stone pyramids to last
Hieroglyphics etched to record their history
Writings in...

From the nest of newness and modern discovery
Materials that proclaim a new technology
It is only diamond, now nano-thin, beyond fire's
Wrath, and winter's whisper of cold desire
The thing nothing can change or destroy, at last

We got this home as is
It came with the waves, the forests, 
waterfalls, sand dunes, the ice.
We claimed it,
Without thinking twice
We have conquered the land
The sea, the air
We have astounding devices
That your voice can travel...
