Long Lifework Poems

Self destructive, even writing on pages without lines feels chaotic and liberating 
even though I know the frustration I will feel as my words slope downwards, down

experiences
with an odd mixture of shame,
humor & wonder,

Some time ago
A late night supper
Was set for me
Steaming dishes
Plates
Glasses
Solitary salt and pepper 
In silver trim
All waited for me
On white linen. 

Finished
I sat back 
Drink in hand
Remembering
Life takes many roads
Some twisted
Others narrow and endless
Signs 
Glowing...

All ye who enter here
despairing statues of salted liberty,
merging solidarity with Earth’s poor hunger
to range free falling Victorian bricks
and mal-bourne sticks
to land here with now
with all arrived before you
prepared to grace Earth’s healthy breathing space

When disrespect is given 
Never expect generosity
When fakeness is proven 
Never expect the same treat
When a sorry is said but not taken in action 
Don’t ever imagine or wait for forgiveness

We are slaves, slaves with free will
But free will is too an illusion
An illusion of us as a nation,
An illusion that shows justice raining supreme
But supreme, is the devil with his lies...

I'm struck with a feeling
I can't shrug off
It's been here 3 years
Like a rusty old lock
 
I quit popping pills,
Though I'm still in fear
That I'll never escape 
after all these years
 
And I
Wish I didn't...

It's my day off
And I need to rest
So for the work week
I'll be at my best.

There's chores to do, 
Well of course there are.
If I don't start soon
I won't get far.

Laundry and dishes
And wash the...

Now patience is a complete must

Our little wooden cottage
    nestled by the sea,
Our get-away, our hideaway,

Oh to sail the winds as the eagle soars
	And fly away so free
To escape from the crushing pace we create

The deer grazing in the sun-splashed field
	Enjoying the late day sun
Taxi to...

OH THE whole worlds come, come all 
We fill up the world maritime with soil-
I know that is against natural appeal
Therefore our precious time shall we fritter away;
For where we hollow out the soil from
