Long Idle talk Poems

Welcome back my weary friends
I promise you this story ends
But not before your time flies through
A tale with a horse or two...

On streets of cobblestone and gray
Where beggars sleep and orphans play
The aged, sick and...

“Past Old Strangers”



I met a man with piercing eyes,
Whose cool façade was mere disguise,
Whose soul reflected sadness there,
The like of which I can’t compare.

Whose massive frame seemed somehow small
For one whose stature stood so tall,
Whose...

I had pondered over complaining about my life yet again
Filling up this pages with idle talk
Sharing past and present experiences
Politicizing my perception of reality
Writing about friends i had failed...
Relationships i had lost
And opportunities i had...

I have always felt myself extremely blessed to have found myself a wife
who believes very little is needed to make a happy life.

Before you think she doesn’t mean it, that it’s just idle talk
she has...

If you walk around our house…and I say this candidly…you probably wouldn’t give a second thought to some of the things you see.

You’d probably miss that piece of wood in the corner…if you walk by...

I hasten to place much faith in idle talk 
Reality tells me i am never getting out of here
Rather I am destined to die here 
Beside these other condemned band of brother's 
This sorry War...

The wing of my thought is mountains of disappointments in my skull. The birds clipped their wings descending to heaven. The boulevard to my house is full of thorny grave killing my feet. The heart...

LONG LONG AGO. I JOURNIED TO THE VILLA OF TAFT. TO MY SURPRISED, I BEHELD 
THIS PERPETUATING SIGHT.  SHE HAD LONG SILKY DEEP BROWN LOCKS, THAT SURELY, 
REVEALED HER NOBILITY.

Wheels spin, dreams unfold
Stories untold, waiting to be told
A world built for some, not for all
But change is coming, hear the call

Ramps rise, like bridges to the sky
Saying "You belong" without a lie
Concrete and metal,...

  "not much with rock or stone.
"Will you bake rock to a feast

Perhaps they were awakened musings buried deep in memory
but something was causing our emotional footsteps to stray
upon a romantic journey that led down a path of rediscovery

Words fail
Meaning blurry;
Nothing rhymes

~~~~~~~~~


Upstairs apartment
Renovation works;
Pneumatic floor blast

~~~~~~~~~


Idle talk punctuates
Not much meaning;
Bizarre thoughts

~~~~~~~~~


Sonic headache
Disturbing pounding;
Head time-bomb ticking

~~~~~~~~~


Constipated movie
Suspicious assumptions;
Character flaws

~~~~~~~~~


Dragonfly pond
Lotus flowers bloom;
Mud bed ascend

~~~~~~~~~


Brief excursion
Exploration;
Abrupt exfoliation

~~~~~~~~~


Beauty delights
Ample assets;
Tipsy tryst

~~~~~~~~~


Orange butterflies
Dazzling flights;
Breezy patterns

~~~~~~~~~


Wavy handwriting
Cursive scripts...

Lap of fancy fills with flowers,
Just to think of her tonight,

This is not an idle talk,
I'm in good humor tonight.

I would not reveal my secrets,
To enchanting eyes of hers,

But she took away my power,
I could...

THE WHITE HOUSE
I'll not apologize for being White,
No more than for my always being right.
Just look around and you will see
My life and world as Mama planned to be,
In all our comfort, we are living...

God have mercy on me
Even when I lie down and feel mean
For this life is gone dim
Be my light and shed your illuminating greatness on me.

Lord, I love you, very very much

They were sitting in an old-fashioned coffee house unraveling the beans
Little nuggets of wisdom not coated in sugar not creamed by distortion

Is the concept of minimal maxims truly axiomatic when we promise each

Who knows life and it's game
Where we are and from where we came
Seems we never learned life’s lessons
But we want repentance from our transgressions
Change comes and the wind blows
But from now on you'll never know

People make assumptions,
And that's not always good.
Instead of thinking just the best,
As one another should.

They'll often add to what you've said,
The thoughts in their own minds,
Changing what you meant to say,
To something less than kind;
