Long Impels Poems

Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more

Both Father Sun's timeless 
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms

soulful soil
and surfing seas

And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

The blind man waited, 
at the intersection, for someone
to help him cross the busy boulevard...
and he was accustomed to live in twilight,
fumbling for a hand on his right;

At times I, like a butterfly,
May flit from bloom to bloom,
Or with my whimsy set sky-high

Madras

Hotel lobbies, hotel bars
Hotel rooms, air conditioned cars
City sights and sounds and smells
A smile, a frown, a shout impels
The thoughts within to exude
And express themselves without interlude

Here no blossoms, no sweet fresh air
Save the scented...

FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH

If your childhood  foot should  always meet  
Rocky shore or swelling sandy beach,
That textured strand remains in your feet 
Lifelong,  and in the rhythm your speech.

While in this world it seems opposites have attraction
Male - female, plus - minus, north - south, captain and crewman

A hub only feels the weight of the load on the road
But the wheel rubs on the surface of it all

When I reached at 4,
My father brought, 
A packet of gift;
Held me to heart,

Opened and showed,
The Sten gun and pistol toy"
Saying "this is a perfect...

Sweaty cries drift in stagnant air,
while brutal force taunts those who dare
to ignite a defiant eye.
