Long Inconspicuously Poems

Apalachee High School,
located in Winder, Georgia
witnessed an active shooter,
whereby the alleged lone gunman
(actually just a teenager of fourteen years)
killed four people and injured nine more
the latter hospitalized with...

This happened last Fall, during Thanksgiving break.

Lisa and I were at the MET (The Metropolitan Museum of Art), with her family, at an exhibit of Art Deco sculpture. Lisa and I came out of a...

It's about time we talk of ruins.
So, let us talk, for you never know,
How long ears of hope will remain receptive.

Your lips are missing, and your kisses fall,
Like ripe plums and tint my confession,
Like coffee...

The ammunition greased casings pepper skull and cross lovely bones, 
   lightening speedily deals mortal blow persons unaware,
   the final minutes/seconds of lives leased
shorn of existence, and akin to sheared sheep,...

I have this awful feeling that the universe is changing its shape, and the earth is going to increase the human race, the Meteorites are sailing through the sky, and the earth is racing in...

Always something to see or something to do,
Comfortable in a familiar setting, sitting on a bench in the park amongst the trees
There she sits looking wonderfully pretty (oh, how she is so very pretty)
--The one...

I can no longer hide the sadness with a smile
I can no longer say "I'm fine"
Because I'm not fine
Like a tree in an empty forest, I fell and nobody heard
Did I even make a sound?
I...

It'll never be just words
When the edges cut through me
There's years of mirrors behind those eyes
Nothing is said just casually

Our story was meant to be forever
It's messy but it had authenticity
Can't call back the gravity
That...

When I'm pining for the power to yield
Breaking all the branches I seize
Acres for the taking in a forest of mistakes
I can't see for the trees

I level
With the shallow playing field
Dreaming up a blueprint to...

You Won’t Believe Who I Saw at Target

By Elton Camp

I was surprised at who I thought that I did spy
But caught her only out of the corner of my eye

Even with a baseball cap and...

The gentle river that flows through your fingers
Your untameable spirit that panthers with power
To your subtle flow to oceans of hidden treasure
I surrender on a trickle of a wave to your meander

I dreamt of a...

Revealing what may be 
rhetorical perspective 
Concealing vagueness of 
others as a collective 
Irrational is the truth 
from all the official lies 
Impractical to expose 
those once thought so wise 

Anonymously to be judged,

My 3-year-old showed me something on my phone... 
And said, "look at this place"
Bewildered, she seemed frightened 
I could see it...by the look on her face
 
When I looked at my phone; inconspicuously 
I thought...

depression starts inconspicuously
slowly creeping into thoughts, actions, words
gradually poisoning with suicidal thoughts
it happens over time
spiders creep in
entangling the butterflies in your stomach in a web of despair
because depression doesn’t have the courtesy to ring the...

Sinful from conception, 
Defiled at time of birth.
Nameless, isolated, naked
We were brought into this earth.

Lifeless from the start;
Born into a hearse.
Destined for perdition—
A condescending curse.
 
The vulgarity of existence,
Obscene reality.
Inconspicuously blessed,
A sure fatality.

Seeking virtuous conformity,
A...

It's changing.....
Vastly and speedily before our eyes

O, Mother Gaia
Kali to Satya

A cyclic continuum...
Vestiges of a time before

Conspicuously and inconspicuously transitioning to 
a new lore

From 'Iron' to 'Golden'
To new from olden

O, Mother Gaia
Kali to Satya

Social unrest,...

It`s sublime inner beauty,does shine through
sparkling colours,silver,gold through to blue

In the comforts of our prison, we seek and scan,
Losing our connections while connected at hand,
Lies we invent just so our facade can ascend,
Obliviously blissful, all just for pretend,
Inconspicuously driving us to resent,
Every part of...

You want to requite my love;
   You already have with a ring
And many years of life
   So this I command you to bring:

A bouquet of chocolate flowers –
