Long Jointed Poems

My auntie winter's icy breath wacked my bare face hard, when I step out earlier on
She gave me the cold shoulder and iced me out with a frosty glare for no reason at all 
it's...

The spider Queen, aloofly vain!
She rules a silent ruthless reign,
with black-bead eyes like pearls of rain
that damp the depths of her demesne.

Knowing you as I do,
you entered the room shyly.
Saying nothing, you took a seat
next to your sister.
Then your ear homed in on the speaker. 
You tried not to notice 
some of the ladies paying

There we were all tightly fit in a round circle of love
Pipes jointed one to another fed love from up above
Love was flowing through, with fruit each one supplying
Peace, patience, long suffering, we were not...

A beetle races from its deep hiding
To gather more food for the morning!
Amidst its fields of fruits and bananas,
In the open plains of African savanna.

A tiny black bug, glowing in the sand
It shoots across the...

I, am bounded by emotions
But I refuse to be reduced.
Inside of me they revolve
The combination,
Let me mention.

How much they cause confusion.
When fear connects with anger
I swear, I am here in the background
Filled with frustration.

Drowned in...

I reckon I'm showing my age and am pretty well set in my ways,
But I have zero tolerance for the 'noise' called music nowadays!
The metal bands and rap are loathsome to my sensitive ears.
I haven't...

Tired fingers drummed on bound leather,
white knuckled mountains held a fire post
high, giving away his position to everyone 
that drove by. A radio hums nervously,
keeping pace with the sore jointed thrumming…
but just barely. Heavy blankets...

Crowds of young children were roaming the streets,
they had to be home before late,
she heard giggling voices and shuffling of feet
and that chirping squeak from the front gate.
A muffled discussion on whose turn to knock
and...

She waits,
eight black spindles joined at one end by a pivot, a compass.
Each pinpoint balanced at the intersections
of self-drawn polygons.
Legs jointed like the fingers of a skeleton,
deft, dexterous as a harpist.
Body in two sections with...

My Valentine….
My funny Valentine…
You are so fine
In that dress the color of white wine.
We’ve been through trials and tribulations,
And we’re still in this bad situation…
You’ve already said your vows…
And you still expect me to knock...

i want to be original
but not “original”

Son,
When you decided
To say good bye
To your lonely dwelling place
Of darkness
Your first cry
Announcing your royal entry
In to this elegant world,
I felt it as a roar
Against the callous
Who'd been giving
Nightmares
To your helpless dad.

But my son,
My everest...

We were once just thoughts, spiraling in empty heads;
Wordless, sightless, scentless, toothless, emotionless.
But we grew to be human, even though we didn’t know what that meant,
And we still don’t.
We lived in fields and daisies, bicycles...

Balderdash
I will not listen to iris eyes,
those lids for covers; frightened lies.
And cannot hear the nostril's fear
that calls you to me over here.

Balderdash 
is all I'll say.
And keep my distance
and my way

Balderdash
I will not listen...

Did you know the Gecko cannot blink ?
No I did not, but it sounds alluring that image
Of a focused lizard reptilian in glorious intent
From hide bound tail to protruding cheeks and jowl

So I blink, too...

The Spider

      Walking closely...

A waiting doll 
in your waiting corner
where you left me to love me later.
Your jointed, painted playmate
stilled,
eyes wide and thrilled
where you left for solace someday.
I am timepiece.

I am mark the...

An empty space

There is an empty space that walks
Beside me: a shimmering in the 
Fabric of the air.
No boundaries define this space
Until memories slip in, to give
Form, voice, palpable
Presence.
Who might this person be who
Is there,...

Luminous as a star jointed at the seam with darkly hue, it 
Imbibes the centipede of heaven's bliss and then releases  
Quizinary scents of blueberry sachets. Permeating the night  
Undulating it to motion...

Sung to the hymn of “The yellow rose of Texas”


I was cursing down the road
 tired and all a lone
just a passing through ole` Oklahome

So I shut down and pulled in-
