Long Hurls Poems

Memoirs of one unloved

I hear them refer to me as “it” or “the fetus”
Some underdeveloped miniature human, with no established status
For I am trapped in some fluid, apparently I know nothing
But, as strange as it...

INTERLUDE
By Leon Enriquez


By light of grace
Soul knows sure place
In time and space
Where echoes trace


Here for a while
Learn then to style
Poise that thus smiles
As grief greets wiles

~~~~~~~~


Show up with poise
As inner voice
Leaps above noise

Sonnet I

I saw morn's soft hands stretching to touch bright moonlight
Is but a fleeting blink betwixt man's death and birth
Dark unknowing is why we so oft fear the night
In that...

In a dark and barren wasteland, in a black hole of time,
a lonely man that wanders - sorrow eating up his mind.
On his shoulder, troubles weigh, crushing down his soul;
a backpack filled with shattered dreams...

Once, long distant calls would cost
You, your friends and family so many voices
had to wait, anticipate the budget and the worth
of words said out loud to ride rapid electric lines.
Still sentiments of love freely fly...

Here on this earth each soul must walk
From time of birth until death stalks.


Each day hurls forth with stress and strain
As we go north and face each pain.

February dusk descends
Upon Orchard Road;
My walking attends
As feet bear clear loads.


Bright and breezy moods
In crowded walkways;
Casual tour feels good
As curious sights sway.


A sea of faces
In brisk momentum;
Each going places,
Motion feeds quantum.


History lives here
In ample shopping;
This...

Dawn hurls
Magic aura;
Song birds sing

Cheery sunrise
Poetry of light;
Ceremonious new day

Awakening
Dreamy lines linger;
Unremembered glimpses

Brisk walk seeking
Wet market food supplies;
Fresh vegetables greet

~~~~~~~~~


Busy food court
Crowded queues;
Hunger strikes a pose

Early morning queue
Banking transactions;
Money on the move

Friendly fruit vendor
Skins three...

Good books enrich
Your journey quest,
Learn to now niche
Your lavish best.

With ample hope,
Dare dream on par
To feel fond scope.

To see the truth,
Love helps you find
As work sculpts proof.

This classic cat...

Not rodent he definitely agrees...

The mere insult as he pokes his tongue defiantly...

Oh, spiteful wind!
Thou leave me not an ounce of sanity.
Thou hurls his name 'round the eves,
whisk it across the stone chimney.
No melodious sound, a long mournful plea.
To my soul an icy pierce.
Oh, spiteful wind!
How long...

The earth yields wood that water grows;
The fire now sires steam from cold moods;
The water fields strength as fire shows!


Such is the ring that goes and comes;

Shows still rattles on

Note chaos that swirls in empty shades;
Observe and see the rowdy waves;
Infux of twirls of muddles made;
Sense faint beauty that comes dares to brave;
Empty this whirl that shouts to trade.


Charm feels a sway as passion...

On that cold, damp beach,
I came to claim my fame
A hero of the inlet,
A master of the game.

It was late November,
The moon was shining full.
My hook was fresh with clam,
Set to bring my jewel.

So with...
