Long Interminably Poems

Whoami? Within following figurative nutshell:

Yours truly just a fluke of the universe
worming his way hook, line and sinker
thru the meandering time stream,
which current speeds up the older I get
rocketing toward my sixty fifth birthday

Whoami? Within following figurative nutshell:

Yours truly just a fluke of the universe
worming his way hook, line and sinker
thru the meandering time stream,
which current speeds up the older I get.

A garden variety (generic) agrarian wannabe
antiauthoritarian, bookish...

Symphonic sirens serenade me from afar;
distinctive, delectable scents tickle and tantalise:
my senses awash with anticipation
as, finally, I lay eyes on my prey.

Slowly and surreptitiously,
I draw ever closer to my quarry.
Prancing and playing, oblivious to the...

SILENCE, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel's poem: Silence by T. Wignesan


The silence PRIOR to silence
	Silence anterior to the ineffable SYLLABLE where silence is born where it’s accomplished in advance
	PERCEPTIBLE syllable distanced by far from pure silence...

She sprinted through a rugged woods
Away from free loading fathers and filthy no-goods,
Away from tear soaked teddy bears and lungs filled with smoke.
She found herself unmoving, crying in the arms of a weeping willow oak.

She...

it’s quiet
it’s late
only the humming and gurgling
bubbling and whirring
that go unheard all day
keep me company now
you see, the world
well my world
is asleep
and I’m sat on the floor
by the back double doors
with the sounds of the...

I've traversed Kansas more times than I care to remember,
In the searin' heat of August and the chilly cold of December.
I suppose the Kansas Tourism folks would disagree with me,
But bless my soul - there...

God hath provoked man with many challenges about this globe.
One of them requires the patience of a long-suffering Job!
Ensconced with fishing pole in hand on a grassy bank,
Waiting interminably for those wily fishes to yank!

To your silhouetted eyes I cling interminably
   Long after I’m a faceless unrecalled name
     Each memory starring the blanket of night

jalapeño pretzels & the adulation of small things

munching jalapeño pretzels,
savoring a cup of coffee,
taking a moment to enjoy the way a cardigan you’ve had for years
feels
when you throw it on for the
255 thousandth time---
these things,...

Time is an illusion
By Michelle Morris
08/01/2022

Tick...Tick...Tick...Tick...
The clock tracks the seconds as they move past...
Time is our illusion but it's how we note the moments around us...
Sometimes they move faster than the numbers show...
Sometimes so interminably...

Hectic day, the device beeped incessantly:
Salient, superficial, attended all, not to skip, 
the vital  from the plethora of logs. 

Voices buzzed  interminably : known, alien, 
the bulk superficial and unknown;
Irritated, lulled the apparatus...

You knew by then there wasn't much left,
except wandering sterile halls--
amid blackened lungs; 

Where time meant nothing--
fading into insipid yesterdays, 
knitting needles complicating--
tomorrow's worried hands;

Age, flattened numbers--
held tightly against your heaving bosom,
as if engraved with...

After so many at the World Trade Center died
And after the carnage in the Bronx every night
Coming over this trail of blood like tears
Where that angry disenfranchised foot, booted
Start the course of searing pain down...

"The Padded Soft Cell" 

Here they cover their mirrors
with garlands of poésies
to stop billabong reflections 
pooling through

the inmates 
congratulate each other
walking in slow dervish circles
Boston-two-stepping backwards ecstatic rituals

Anti-clockwise, 
I told them to change channels
when words...

To glance at the jagged hill is a dream
Just as I yearn to amble over its magma flow 
Like a million salmon swimming up my bloodstream
I will see the Soufriere Hills, I just know
As the...

Time trickles slowly,
interminably in the cosmic hourglass,
at a granular rate I cannot perceive
To God, time has no relevance
How could it, when He spread
the universe instantaneously
This was done in less than
the smallest unit of time
we could...

Every so once in a while
I'm telling you this with no guile

I simply have to escape


Well rested from the night before
at least in hours of apneic snore


Found I in pitiable shape



It happens none to often

I am deceased;
  I perished that day.
    Nothing is left of me,
      I left myself behind.

      There is a new somebody

All that is completed has come to pass
Like a midnight brigand in shadow
Comfort longed interminably where none is found
Endless searches for sweet contentment
Of the approaching dawns pleasing rays
That gladly warms my frigid features 
Esteeming the...

Oh! Rain ….
Without discipline like the Vain 
To the uplands, not to the low
To the rocks over there -Go !

When you strike them and don’t miss.

Now you ‘re pillaging my heritage
By our forefathers...

Bits of every consciousness does live on
Transported through cosmic thought energy
When the whole of self is nearly now gone
Deep down inside where nobody shall see

Some could call spirits back upon command
When one wants to hold...
