Long Indiscernible Poems

Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

Be bold, I tell myself through whispers of driven reinforcement…
Reassuring myself that His might is as high as the mountains
He told me to be not deceived by the wickedness and resentment
Feel me, relief from grief…pouring...

Crocheting needles waved her fingers from a self-disclosed mind

Texture and pattern set lines like predictive text and autocorrect

Wool over her eyes would know how to stitch up her soul-scape

No matter whether blanket or poncho woollen...

Some folks just don't have a life of their own.
Some live on other's problems.
Some live on other's dreams, and hopes for the future.
Some live on just being the antagonist to everyone else;
They are the worst...

God, my mother told me,
You are the embodiment of love.
Since then, I have adored you most.
But I wonder do you understand me?
I read your book in the foreign language
of those who rule us.
Are you on...

I rip and chew at my edges
Trying to eradicate 
Placate
Eleviate
My pain
The anxiety 
The part of me that threatens to freeze 
My mental disease
The part I hope no one sees
The inner demons I wish to appease...

A hazel tree, or some delicate rose,
Whose opening will be like the universe.
From nothing but a little seedling, came
Magnificence, and soon it too will wither, 
Only to be followed by a tracing of its perfection.
And...

A priest once told me that the lump
on my hand was a ganglion,
a fortress of fat besieged by health.
At last it burst and the hand swelled
like an old man's,
shovel shaped and splayed.

It was her black...

Face framed ornate, or curl corner blu tacked up
Childhood fanciful daring must softly be contained
Dispicable hovers inside cherub cheeked adorable 
Challenge for enamoured to create correct shape 
Administer discipline with compassion entangled

Potential beckons infant innately...

There thrums a void I can't discern

Whence diplomacy fails mankind.
Soldiers amassed with patriotic duties to fulfill.
Some willing, some underaged, some desperate.
Weaponry and vehicular production overdriven.
Military strategies drafted that await execution.
Prayers flood the heavens, farewell letters penned vigorously.
None prepared for what’s to...

Little of one is directly ourself shown
True reflection not oft on display
A murk through which we see not each other
Indiscernible behind curtains of grey
To reach for another without mirrored emotion
Is apt to cause misunderstood pain
For...

Imperceptible, unnoticed, undetectable
Undetectable, indiscernible, indistinguishable
Every word that describes me and how I feel
Pokerfaced life that feels so unreal
Unloved, unnamed, and certainly unknown
Millions of emotions that will never be shown
All hide deep inside my skin
So I...

Unswallowed lumps of lobster immodest
     Crustacean returns to pincers persimmon

Leaking pontoon predicts my departure 
Impatient yacht chases nautical next
Mislaid terrain erases my history

Grim authorities in obvious places patrol 
Timidity prescribes aghast of tranquil abiding
Windwaken, I'm admiring the Sea of Revolt

Remarked upon in wonder, venture...

a man who never had a death experience is dead 
and laying in a casket without experience of the death 

is that why he looks so awkward?
is it because he is experiencing an experience
that, actually,...

God revealed indiscernible void in my spirit
Exposing my costly worthlessness through His truth’s eyes
Granting me eternal life of love that satisfies---
---Thus, I trusted the Saviour* declared by Scriptures’ writ.

The Miracle of Sound

In the spaces of the atmospheric current
A flickering of heat and fire intersect
They spark up to create a melodic unison
And blend in to build a resounding symphony through their crackling noise

Their flames...

A wandering wavering wind bleeding doubt
wraps tightly ‘round its' victim
in a masterful landscaped sketch of anger
it falters and stumbles
in its' indecisive nature
that at times sways around
the arch of a sword
determined only to find the truth...

I glimpsed our horizon echoing Sun
Voluminous sets of waves whispered crest
Neath, its silent swarm's hushed sealife possess
A sullen saffron lens rise slumbered some

Dualities of grand expanse, lay calm
Aquarium of a glassless shore stills
The constant vastness...

Some of us know
how to hide an indiscernible affliction well...
until it shows on the outside
and every secret is known;
I've met quite a few people
who cry and despair
when everybody else departs
and disappears into the obscure night.

The harsh light of day

The darkness surrounds you
It engulfs you
Paralyzed and broken, it drags you down
Deeper into its pit
Ascension, a fleeting dream
Demons surround you 
Torturing your soul further into madness 
Escape, there is none
Turning circles,...

The Rubiks cube is round, observed at atomic size
To see reality you must enter, take a peep inside
I’m not saying pull it apart, searching out a pivot 
But rather a microscopic journey, for our tiny...

Pulling myself out of the 2020 mud
Sluggish and stunned, fatter from sheltering in place
My eyes are shut tightly, 
Attitude indiscernible
Light nearly gone from my soul
It has been the worst year of my life
Starting with the...
