Long Kneecaps Poems

Awaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

I wander through...

“FAKE” Dread Locked Dumpster Diver

Not by choice this average
     bonehead configured Earthlinked
     Bozo went kicking, and screaming
     into refuse bin
naturally (no questions asked,

Let’s go skiing ! Said my wife 
It gives you such a thrill
So off we flew to Canada 
To face the bitter chill

We took a bus from Calgary
To Banff’s National park
Found our hotel, went to...

Daddy's specter plectrums mercilessly
Fraying my nerves raw
with oxidized guitar strings.
my thoughts relentlessly hemorrhage
onto clay vinyl grooves
s p i n n i n g
endless nights
of
suffocation.

a midnight jazz wail
lacerates
the void of your absence.
notes gnaw through bone marrow
ravenous...

(This is different from the poems I write. It has a lot of blood and may be sensitive.)

Peaceful wind, scented blow; the crisp air, while fragrant, smelling of one of nutmeg. The cool breeze lightly...

I'm placing strings in needles and creating new seams
Pricking fighting fingers for what this brings
Opening the lines of smiles with softer things
but you like to rip
like to tear bandages 
with  no interest in blood

the brakes went to hell 
after the runaway truck ramp
spun down the double line 
like mad dogs chasing bluebirds
screeching on Prof. Helix's blackboard
the last thing he said was
I hope I don't remember this
the first thing...

I am fire and rhapsody in my private chambers.
Inside out, I am flourishing, animated, and measured.
My heart pumps owning the same conviction at age 15.
My hormonal sexual splendor surely must be the same 
dense river...

A group of youngsters
plays baseball in the sunny field,
while a lonely kid watches 
the game and he would love to join them,
but he can't run: his feet are crippled
and screaming from the wheelchair,
he breaks the...

Cuz the goddamn T-shirt says so!
Well, the first time it was Billy,
ball busting Billy, who said
“go ahead, just do it”.
To this day I am not sure
what caused me to follow
this instruction.  The end result,
I...

A carnival in winter scraped along the ragged streets,
Pursued by ghosts in snowstorms howling down the avenues;
And in that bright atomic midnight where the blood and neon meet
A host of demon angels hung their heads...

I won’t forget your name
Your fingerprints are forever branded onto my skin 
And when I look in the mirror I can still see every wound you left on my body
I see blood running down my...

Breath laden islands rise and fall
beneath the steam-graced surface of clear water,
capped with rosettes, red-brown, silken, warm,
beaded with water running in rivulets
down hillsides of flesh, puddling,  
in the dark oval navel of desire.

Water rises...

your fingerprints are forever branded onto my skin 
and when I look in the mirror I can still see every wound you left on my body
I see blood running down my kneecaps
I see my throat...

Breathe laden islands rise and fall
beneath the steam graced surface of clear water,
capped with rosettes, red-brown, silken, warm,

down mountainsides of flesh, puddling,

Stop the bleeding
Stop self-defeating
Stop demeaning
The real meaning
Stop the outage
Get out the mind cage
Stop the stressin' 
That leave you guessin'
Stop the relapse
You'll break your kneecaps
Stop the anger
That leave you in danger
Stop the rumbling
Stop all the grumbling
Stop...

Two inept crooks robbed my house while I was on vacation.
They left my water running and they died by strangulation.
Besides robbing me, those idiots also made me have to pay a two hundred dollar water...

He was on his knees praying.  
Where he had been before and where he was going next 
Was up to him. 
But he needed guidance. 
Which is why he was on his knees.

She was not blessed with comely grace,
spurned and shunned by cupids arrows
because of her displeasing face
and breasts like kneecaps on a sparrow.
Her scrawny frame one could infer
if dressed in red and eyed sideways
she’d mimic a...
