Long Intonation Poems

 Was privileged to have sedentary on the seashore in seraphic poetic submersion;
 the ringing sounds from the distant horizon made me entirely lost in  speculation;
 when the sounds of waves from far nimbly...

TO SPEECH PATHOLOGY

A voice is something to treasure.
An expression is nothing without this.
You can feel the deep suppression when possessed by another human being.
Speaking out and it becomes dubbed.
No, you are not a mute.
You do...

After beguiling charisma,
damnable excoriations fixedly,
gamely, horribly, insult jesting,
kibitzing, loosely mindless nattering,

outlandish pablum, quintessentially
representing senseless trumpeting,
unswervingly vapid wordy
X-DOUBLE-MINUS
yawping zest.

If ye did not already guess from thee 
above blimey claptrap, Das English flap
doodle glib human incorporates jokingly,
kookily,...

JUST CAUSE

Without cause, teachers, classmates, and neighborhood kids mocked at my pitiful station of poorness and entrenchment in painful shyness, calling me dreadful names that chipped away at my soul.

At my first job as a...

Even before the arrival of the first snows, so brilliantly candid, 
we climbed mounts less dangerous than the Alps's;
and we proudly chalked it up to our experience.
Now the snowy cliffs with bouffant boulders,
have lost their...

Sonnet to puzzlement
And there I look, eager mind ready to offer a polite
Salutation; hopeful introduction to eventual 
Happiness.
That first hello, shyly voiced, a certain questioning
In its intonation, the rising ending signalling hope.
I wonder why? Why...

Xmas tide, 
a time for familial gatherings,
The golden chain of friendship 
…and companions
Sweet on each other,
parading arm in arm
Together to share a feast and gift giving

...Nativity scenes, red, gold, green
bells ringing
Garlands, wreaths, and holly
Holiday romance...

Ash - grey chemised
she shifts her shape
as silver flakes float coat
stripped naked places, 
sheath curves and angled spaces
Angry glitter tingle stings
thick earth skin with prickly flames
and rumble rise regurgitates
shimmy - shake shudders
in magma's deep thrombosis.

Most people put their faith
in primal things
Spiritual cave dwellers,
living on the dark fringes of life
Afraid of stepping into a brighter tomorrow,
baffled by that distant light in the sky
Their understanding of the solar circle of time

I just listened to you talk
Focussed on intonation and words
Chose not to respond
This isn't about if we agree or disagree
It's about whether love is based on liking and respecting the human that shares your space

Angel of mercy
A small spark kindles in eager young hearts
With a smile, a song, and a destiny
Their souls a perfect match from the start
How sad she was blind to her eternity
She spent many years wasted...

I was born with this name 
A name that cannot be moved.
Through my struggles and through my pain
These shackles I shall remove.
Dignified in all my ways 
Eminent proven that can't be replaced.

It's too hot

Across the globe, music ascends—a universal zephyr,
Bridging cultures in harmonious yearning;
Chords converge from Andes to the Zangezur, xenharmonic,
Dulcet tones of a duduk—in the air, they whisper.

Every note—an echo of humanity's vibration,
From flamenco's fire to the...

Riding in glides,

super-sailing in leaps-
going on and on about the otherside,

trailing to collide,

and oppressing in the peaks of my plight,

in the loneliest day which is just as night.


I now look to the sky!

Interesting in my...

As the early summer air ripples in my meadow,

unfurling with the embrace of dawn’s spectrum

What light is this?

It reeks of night, corrupted!
What it touches turns black.
Things lingering in a cruel Violet.  
 
What light is this? 

The night it illuminates…
the unseen, the ether in between. 

Unseen, the absence...
