Long Hungering Poems

I.
He was patient very-very

without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being...

There is an old flutter now

Thinking back on my all White
but One,
all Right
but One,
classroom learning experience,

I can see why
many of my straight white male classmates,
especially those with early varsity team excellence
and above average grade point systems
tipping toward future capital-valued employment
might...

There's a time to chase the world,
and a time for the world to chase you...
the distinction between destiny and damnation
can become ambiguous as a dream
on the edge of twilight
when the world is watching you ruthlessly,

Electrifying, the ache
Trembles in my thoughts,
Bringing sparks of memory alive
Sacrificing my sanity for immorality
Driving out the beauty, 
The tenderness, the soothing
Reaching beyond the sensitivity
Into the darkness, the black
Fear that echoes in nightmarish screams
Terror blazing beyond...

 I was yet an innocent and therefore unashamed.
 Her smothered walls creaked and her shingled roof leaked,

thine absence half a decade spent in vain

You've stumbled off the righteous path, into the hushed
Wilderness of the unknown, beware for salvation's sake,

For the cultural use of consumerism

He comes.
Graceful as the ghostly moonlight
glittering among the thorns,
he comes.
I feel him,
