Long Jubilance Poems

Stuck in place…
Free in space…
you’re insane 
I’m as sweet as sugar cane…
Whatever happened to your unique personality?
Whatever happened to your sanity? 
Has it transformed to insanity?
I like the way you make me feel
Oh, you don’t...

Won’t open its eyes to...

Warped up lies
Illuminated goodbyes
The reason I hear his cries
Hopefulness and its highs
Amid the optimism, hidden inside

Tribulation and...

Waiting till you're gone

Bug off, bad attitude
I don't mean to act so rude
I feel ashamed and nude
The day is finally...

I’m daydreaming inside my car...Looking out the window in a lackadaisical daze...
I’m wandering inside my weary head...longing to get godly praise in many ways
I’m whispering to myself that I need comfort as we go far...

Come with me, take my hand and don’t let me go

I made your shining castle
but I built it ‘pon the sand
and steadfastly tried
to constrain the tide
but the bastions didn’t stand

I worked to bloom your Eden
with the wares to see us thru
but the ripened fruits

A run-on sentence, free verse/rhyme poem…

Baptizing myself miraculously in the benevolent, bubbly bathtub…playing in the cleansing water like a beloved cub
Rubbing my blitheless, blessed body with serene warmth and with a sensational, tranquil shrub in...

Filched formerly anatomical slender man - me! Thus I take a pot belly stance!

Writing with peace about the Avenger
She assembled words of worship
Simplicity filled her pages

Writing with perseverance for the Builder
She bumbled with joyful jubilance
With truth, she engages

She crumbled her satisfied soul 
Joy...

Got to strut my stuff - can’t deny
Low self-esteem - it’s...

Fountains sprinkle summer city rising steam spiral, 
wet dispersed and raucous shrieks from children,
pavements, streets. lanes, byways imbued,
with that June to September jubilance,
jovial spirit goes beyond the urban confines yet included,
the riot of revelry induced...

Pretenders in the mouth like lemons.
Hamartia.

Is wishing
Denying?
Do I
Deny You?

A dirge by the pier
is the darkness I hear
when You are not here,
when I tell myself
I will always fear.

Yet You visit, still,
my lightless room
and the Breath of...

Distress was not part of my gladness, so true
Oceanic, ominous waves bring me down sometimes, darling so free
Tension-packed, traumatic nervousness gives me moments of mere bravery

Years go by and memories dim and fade
Many, once so close and familiar are gone
Most of them have faded into oblivion
But those of whom one can never forget, stay on

Breathe the passionate sapphire charms
As moonbeams caress the naked thoughts
Stardust falls on the last whisper of leaves
Fallen to the ground, singing of inspiration

All along the ridges where mountains connect
Are emerald pines in...
