Long Leviathans Poems

"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly 
of a ruinous pregnant cloud 
bilious with buxom promise

it came crashing down 
like school fish released 
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Despite his impatience to show me his hell,
He waited for me in my rest, 
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance

“My heart is Yours, always,
From the moment...

Tis the season, for"Love"....

The time of giving and caring

Peace on earth, and good will, to all of life!

To lay aside the swords, the spears, the guns

Embracing the hope of a tomorrow

Clear, from the sediments of...

Sarcomas hatch like caviar
in St. Jude chemo-fire inversions,
where leviathans lay magnetars
to suck the blood of
virgins.

Their celestial suckers nurse their mothers
through quantum-dot tunnels, converging
what little life force
might milk
metastatic roots while purging,

and scute steroids discarding the hair
that...

In the heart of the blackest abyss, down, 
Down, in fathoms deep crypt, where light
Does not penetrate, and the structured protective hauls,
Of men, are crushed beneath pressures massive
Weight, of the oceans deepest depth.
This is truly...

3:35 p.m., Thursday afternoon
school’s just let out, and everyone’s joyful for the long weekend.
Here I pause, outside the vocational building at the summit of the hill
where I have been many times before, but never in...

Christmastide

Between our light or dark imaginings
The flash that is our lives goes past
Beneath bright sun and moonlight stark
Reflections fill the glass
Spread wontonly about the city's feet
Of omnipresent stone
Catching all those movements fleet
As the starlings soar...

VERSE ONE 
Heavenly father
Grant me safe passage to Elysium
For each time I think I have reached the end of the race
I am back to the start
Deliver me Oh Lord
From blood sucking demons
That derails one’s progress
And...

sigh …

a lifetime ago
I breathed here, vital -
dangled my topsiders over these
pier stones and pilings
tempting the dark leviathans
that swam beneath the bloated
August moon, reflected …
kissing menthols like careless lovers
concerned only with the moment (hoping)
and a...

THE EMPRESS OF IRELAND

Two mighty workhorses, colliding Titans,
Leviathans of the Saint Lawrence river.
Devastation’s maritime wrecking balls,
Slamming head on, even after the warnings 
Sounding, had been given, by Captain Kendall.
Emerging on the starboard side, a distant...

Montauk Point 

Ridge sides slope  amidst  the ancient seas 
grass sown seed from storm winded shores 
lighthouse beacons light the shores 
laden seaweeds on ragged rocks meet the crashing seas 
driftwood grey smoothed...

Wind lowers it's head-stream, earthbound, 
battle helmet of direction-secured. 
True Hermes holding a riddled scroll, temperature, tempered, phalanx wall to litmus count the cull.

Non-relative incomings from the garment of space, 
to run obscene into the...

In the echoes of ancient whispers, grim omens abound,
Some prophesy the world's demise to be by the tempestuous sea,
While others dread the cosmic cataclysm, uncharted and profound,
Yet within these disparate realms lies a bond, enduring...

Crooked teeth upon rotting smiles....

Bearing their canines for the throne to behold

The petrified flesh of these fruits they share

Decomposing souls, which might have once been

Had they ever learned? Had they ever known?

Caught within these crowds...

Prisoners of Time

There is nothing secret
nothing sacred from man
He reaches beyond the 
infinite to scatter dreams

He will employ 
extraordinary means
Alone or in the company
of those with like heart
he can stream to
undiscovered places

Which brings, the opening...

5 a.m. Souls ascend
from earth’s vale
of fears. Others wait
don’t give up yet.
Nothing I can do about that.

Not is my name known
but am I a good man.
That goes for John, too
a man of faith
who wants what...

Roaring anger through great seven seas 
erupted as spiteful giant water columns 
Swept off  fragile nations to oceans 
You ! the most cruel catastrophe of all 
Turned suburbs along seaboards to graves 
Naked bodies...

Those walls of my captured annals falling
By steel leviathans devouring my solitude
Capped blasts dropping the once proud structure
No longer is a mans home his palace

Histories cowboys are the future’s vagabonds
Their ranges of ranches a dying...

Symphonies of Sorrows


Lost within lachrymal leviathans facing omnipotent oblivions
Embryonic extracts of eternal synergies of divine dominions
Where hemorrhaging hearts accumulate admits effete exile
Held in captivity by the metaphysical matrix a deceptive defile

Maculate manifestations into dormant damaged...

All aboard this ship of fools,
all aboard she's sailing,
all aboard this ship of fools,
for we are going a' whaling.

From the harbour our course we keep,
for the distant Antarctic water,
to find the leviathans of the deep,
and...

I hear a soft voice amidst
deafening din of daily grind:
Where's the forest dark and dense;
the mountain high as heavens--
its shadow, a looming doom?

Where's the valley that dews
dawn to dusk, too deep to fill?
Or the gulley...

A new time, enveloped inside mine
Keeps ticking aloft besides
And slides the locket of her mother
Beyond the socket of the wayside
Opens diversity into plain view
Where others place their often misguided
Open-faced mindless guffaw over
The mantle of deceit,...

oh, sweet old vine that calms me down at the safe port in the warm sea
