Long Infests Poems

I have the heart of a poet
Trapped deep within
The soul of the beast

Everyday I get up
And put on my dark
Bureaucratically correct uniform

I turn off my soul
Put on my phony smile
And my plastic ideas

And go forth...

Noise in her Mind

I know her so well she came long ago to visit my being

On Christmas Eve, children lay in bed,
In titillating agony as they await what lays ahead,
They are in blissful torture pondering on chocolate cookies and hot chocolate,
Their eyes are wide open with anxious hope of gifts...

His narrow eyes, misguided lies
Misguide his narrow plan,
To cleanse the world from demons, he
Was called The Preacher Man.

“I see no proof, I hear no truth!
Your science is a sin!
You’ll burn in hell if you rebel
And...

Enter the crowd
spawning shapes upon the dead 
A skill honed by understanding the living
a task only desired by the dregs

Mind the sirens as they sing a call
A call that was called while calling for the...

1.) 
“The same waste stays un-cleaned”,
Something like that was said. 
And I’ve spent time missing, 
Must’ve thought I was dead. 
The boy says the man’s unseen, 
Technically a teen but still “man” works instead. 
Unfiltered...

Every journey worth its salt has rocky places
Bank to bank filled with frothing white water, 
The economics of avoidance, steering a lean course, 
Avoiding higher peaks that thrill - vouchsafed to others.
Rest days taken during...

Evil That Always Takes Its Toll

Remember where hot lightning bolts flash down,
Its sun-fire heat burning in a tragic strike!
There perished mother and her little tyke;
Tragedy there, where the angels cry and frown,
And sing their saddest...

Where are the seeds of our ancestors?
Are they dug deep in blood-soaked and bruised battlefields?
Or huddled close to God's Crest?
Or are they lost languishing in desert sand's drift?

History's dilemma but their sins are repeated
As relentless...

White is not an opaque color
It seemed to shimmer incandescent figures under the eve of light
A foreshadowing

Pain is the white that compliments your wedding dress
Tying the knot
Knowing you’ll be bound to it forever
Pain can be...

Agonizing darkness descends upon my hopelessness.
Crouching in a fetal position as terrifying pain infests.
Oh the slashing, bashing of the wielding belt.
Crying and scampering, knowing his rage, I felt.
Yearning for and welcoming the comfort of death...

Not trying to hurt the readers
Or become a poetic verbal ling beater
I’ll fade out of the last
These ends creep quietly past
It starts in fear
I’ll give it 
Another year
Then gather all that was said
And put regret...

Withered Are Memories Made On False Ground

Majesty of her charms , pale in light now
Love's glow has died, ashes only remain
She was sad , my heart took a fleeing bow
Her cries left only darkened bitter...

a pretty girl.  We'll fix you

Conform not my reply, say lest
it is the quiet's way, infest

People are fickle
A bothersome tickle
You open the door
To wind up in a pickle 

A dreaded half smile
They stay for a while
You’re too polite
And in denial

Instinctively nice
Prone to sacrifice 
It gets out of hand, and
Infests you...

The closet door rattles and it I ignore
Until the rattling I can ignore no more
It continues to shake all on its own
There is a presence which wishes to be known
My spine tingles, I'm full of...

It washes over me
Like fresh waters kissing rocks
As they gently flow to the sea

It's strong and deep
It hits me like a sweet breeze
I wish it was forever mine to keep
It's such an endearing tease

The betrayal offences rendered on us daily unsettles swiftly progress.

They simmer and stir and spread.

Resentment, unforgiveness lead us to revenge.

Bitterness spreads so contagiously like a disease.

Infests and infecting all within reach.

God’s guidance keep my emotions...

Ponder the pest
It's not like the rest:
  Can't stick out its chest
  Doesn't have a nest
  Your crops it infests
  Devours and ingests
  Acts rather stressed
  Promotes such unrest...
