Long Intangibles Poems

I, heart on sleeve ... proudly? I suppose, in a contrite way ...
          but it's beyond my breadth to control, so it is what it IS.

The inn of my Heart 
has many rooms;
I thought I knew them all.
They were peopled with 
husband, children,
  family and friends.
    Even God had a room,

The diversity of beliefs have collectively demoralized 
the sanctity of attaining wisdom and respectfully sharing
the exchange of knowledgeability by compartmentalizing creativity. 
This makes us..............................
willingly grasp onto the idea of fighting and murdering to
expressively uphold what...

A piece of me, forged from molten memories..
  of patchwork stability
Changes of scenery....haggard, humble backdrops
  Questionable casts of characters...
Scripts written in off-color obscenity and derangement
 
 An old soul removed from a separate...

Connie's Daughter Ran Away


To mama, 

I'm sorry for the grief I'm causing.

It's not everyday a daughter runs away. But I must.
Forget my bunny hop, and the tangibles. I just
couldn't deal with the intangibles of being...

We all carry intangibles throughout our lives.
If I sit and think about it I can tell you some of mine.
I fear no man.
 I have all the power.
If I were scared of a human being,...

Waking to that familiar fabric of dawn, pink-hued 
Hewn from the previous black quilted night
It dawns on me:

At a time, it shall prevail 
upon us all, the unwelcome blessing of suffering
And you will feel like 
A feather in...

Always holding fast loves muse; never distant from this seemingly

Knights-errant spirit; symmetrical mirrors reflecting such hues amid these

Revolving spectrums crossed....

Afore a galaxy of stars both near and afar ~

Scarlets vivid oarnge heart immersed in the...

I like my God much better than the one
who made his home up in the stratosphere
and favored us with visits now and then,
harrumphing down below about the way
that we behave, and tantalizing us
with sticks and...

It's always intangibles that draw me, sleepily

into another trackless landscape 

reaching from my mind, out to a dry horizon

that obscures each fleeing fragment

of that sense of home that I have cherished.

Its silence is the magnet....

Her world is a paranoid marketplace.
Fear is the zeitgeist and panic her shame.
She’d married her psyche to a dog whistle pimp
Who’d promised her he’d drain the swamp.
And sure enough, he did. 
Drained it right into...

Dogs, cats, children, mates, heck, even strangers 
sometimes find themselves drawn close
in proximity to something 
they feel but may not
even know how to articulate.

Such is Life.

Like seeking like,
the comfort of others
in security 
obviously, but more...

Strange--the journey set upon,
for I have never traveled
seeking just to close in finally
on home.  I would see it only 
as an inference laid bare 
as I would strip away each incident
that stained it, cover...

Feeling alone….overwhelmed….and conquered….trying to remain in a dispositional state of mind by contemplating ways of making what appears to be impossible, possible….in this realm of what is.

Struggling with the mind, and attempting to substitute the...

somebody lies in wait
it may be me, it may be me
whilst all intangibles permeate
I'll feel different, momentarily
just wait, just wait
I am too scared to be face to face
with fate, oh that I hate
but I see...

Who doesn’t love the presents or the sound of joyful chorus?
But have you felt His presence or the greater gifts here for us?

Who doesn’t like the lights or the brilliance of the season?
But contemplate the...

On a summer night when the moon was high
I rose from sweaty slumber deep.
What was it that made me sigh
And woke me from the depths of sleep?

Was it the sultry moonlit night
Which made my bedsheets...

I am a man of simple taste
An island child
And talk to my neigbors face to face
Where lush trees beguile
Birds, not man.
I have seen trees smoking 
In lime kiln fires
Just for crossing a man's desire.
I want...

Kaleidoscopic leaf cover
shimmers in the September sun
casting shadowy and sunlit
shifting pools of darkness and light
on a multicolored graveyard.
Sweet decaying scents permeate
the early autumn environs
while yellow oxeye sunflowers
sway to an autumnal zephyr
that whispers enchanting verses
softly throughout...

Who Is That Masked Man
Miracle Man
1/8/2022

I try viewing each day as a new beginning,
and I follow Covid mandates as best I can.
My thoughts on mandates aren’t prizewinning,
but God didn’t anoint me a perfect man.

My being...

missing intangibles
kissing everything

sorrow has me
consumed






still we breathe
still we breathe
still we breathe sorrows last breath
exhale me she cries from depths
screams echoe my throat walls

Everything has a fee,
Nothing on Earth's for free,
There is no relation,
Without compensation,
Unless it's just me versus me.

Something always involves cost,
From breathing to auto exhaust,
Imagine, people mating,
Without use of call waiting,
Millions of yen would be lost.

GRACE IS A PRECIOUS GIFT
THAT COMES FROM CHRIST ABOVE
IT IS FAVOR OVER THE LIVES OF THE BELIEVERS
IT IS THE EPIPHANY OF REAL LOVE

GRACE IS NOT EARNED
BY GOOD DEEDS OR WORKS
IT IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO...

Pure logic, like pure oxygen,
For humans creates too rich an atmosphere,
That is unsafe for humans to dwell in for all but short periods.

It is an atmosphere that contains no trace,
Of Love or kindness,
Of compassion or...
