Long Jitters Poems

IN THE WILD

Early morning, we go for a drive,
An awesome feeling as we arrive,
At our camp gate which, opens 
At 6 o’clock, 
Now we are in the African bush
Which, will unlock,
Moments that we have missed...

IN THE WILD 
( Re Post)

Early one morning, we begin our drive,
An awesome feeling as we arrive,
At our camp gate which, opens 
At six o’clock, 
Now we are in the African bush
Which, will unlock,
Moments that...

 O beloved rose in my 
  garden of fairy-lamps,
would you bloom in hues of stardust?
let the daffodil moon 
  envy this fragrant field of 
immortal lyrics~
for I’ll treat you with kindness,
 scatter...

To whom then comes the feral thrust of lust
Or for that matter, thoughts loving and kind” Unseeking Seeker

Since childhood,
as alexithymia struck my soul.
I kept all my hopes a secret,
hidden in a bucket of unshared dreams.

I kept my soul sweet like marshmallows,
but life has finally caught up with me,
Like a fast car overtaking...

When the 21st century stepped into its third decade, the major tone of the world sharply switched. Internecine confrontation, cartelism and calumniation snaffled the high pitch, while comprehension, cooperation and cosmopolitanism, like ill-adapting burdens and...

good morning!
and it IS a good morning!
the sun, as always in its 
inexplicable radiance
and deplorable warmth,
is rising slowly,
illuminating first our fence,
my nightstand,
your hand
where it rests,
warm, 
in the middle of my back; 
and you, as always...

“MARRY ME” JITTERS
One thought prevails throughout David’s day
He racks his brain as to how he will say,
This important piece of news which repeats in
His mind like a rhyme,
He knows he must get it right, he...

From all tomorrows
you’ve been erased,
and all of our sorrows
drip to your lovely face


A light that was lit with forever
as mornings hand past twelve,
left this plain with the ferryman 
in forever your light does delve


At first...

Before you:

 

Before you love was a word of foreign magnitude. It had no meaning, no depth, or even feeling, It was something I simply feel into blindly. I had grown accustom to pain, my...

Wake up a little earlier; another troubled night
But the remnants of pre-birthday make-up still do their job remarkably
Smile for the camera; these pictures are keepers, so realistically modelled for
Thank yous for unthoughtful offerings; why hurt...

Les C. Moore be virally,
virtual plea coming black enamel blu tooth
with the plain, pandemic ghetto pain truth

with the lophodont latest, lamentable siren news
A loathsome copper tone

ODIS

Once upon a very sad time,
Disappointment crossed my hapless mind.
Instead of thinking that would be fine,
Someone gave me this dog to walk behind.

Supple and sweet within my reach
Under starry skies or sandy beach
Zigzagging...

Tears of the past invoke frozen footprints
When fears rekindle flares of dire misery
Feeling the ache, straining blood streams
As wrinkles pop up swelling deep worries,

Holding dialogue with sustained poverty
Attempting to traverse shuttered streets--
Bent, but not broken,...

We stand here,
Bruised and beaten,
From battles lost,
And battles past,
From the tidal waves of history,
That swept us,
Taking away more than we can give,
Leaving us with less than nothing.

Yet we are alive,
And living,
Hearts pulsing in rhythm,
Catching our...

Upon the rustic walls,
Laid a shadow, shadow too dry.
In the trees beyond, laid the carnelian of fall;
And I stroll away, into the vestige foliage ply.

In my little cabin,
many boring days had flown by,
but it was...

Dangerous trend indeed,

A safety check is the need,

We can't ignore and proceed,

This was a monstrous deed,

Hearts of all severely bleed,

To save children I plead,

A happy life, they must lead

We must work with top speed,

Minds of...

My Aunt Darlene used up hours worrying.
Turning down invitations, sitting in one spot.
Afraid she would fall if she got up.
People brought her meals, so she would eat.
It is unclear whether or not she ever used...

Each book in my library must be read, each one, each and every one,
vagrant, homeless papers must find a forever home, I must
edit, amend, revise, reword and condense a poem-
Rattled, I search for my keys,...

Left Memphis on a southbound bus. 
Entered north Mississippi as I knew I must.
Turned toward the Alabama line.
Spent the next couple hours dreaming you were mine.
Dark tunnel, no light either end.
Took a swig from my...
