Long Loren Poems

Why does the voiceless canary stare so bleakly?
Why do the sullen grey clouds desert a sombre sky?
As the ugly black smog blots out the valiant sun’s rays
The honey less flowers kiss the dying bees’ goodbye
Never...

Deeper and deeper We go, 
inside hell,
While shouting paradise is for the rich
So we hope, so we smoke dope
Deeper and deeper we go
The abyss, the hell I had to come out of
To my dark complexion...

I walk the plank
Lit the bed, laugh at myself
Like whose that in the mirror?
Laughing at me, now I'm sad
Playing with dolls  
Hocus pocus to the kids next door,
The voodoo 
I contemplated for the whole...

I’ve been approached, to write this Ode, by Michael:
he wants me to identify three traits
of his. I told him, life is just a cycle
of ups and downs. I cited one Matt Gaetz!

Many are my favorite things,
but nothing is more exciting
that ravishingly beautiful sexy ladies:
those seen in a movie theater 
who light up the wide screen under
the Califonia's palm trees swaying.

The light was brighter than the sun could give;
And the moments were...

The poverty 
It has been raining for days, but now the sun shines
the walls of the old ruin look whitewashed and with its pride intact.
Sunlight makes paucity look nostalgic, a whiff of the old days

The white man


In Algarve, I met the world's tallest poet
blessedly free of athletic prowess and 
dressed for a warmer clime, perhaps Swiss
or some other country nearby 
Alas, he suffered from high education and
tended to overlook people, which,...

Gene Autry, Hopalong 
And Tim McCoy
Waved goodby to me 
As off into the sunset they go

Wild Bil Elliott, The Lone Ranger 
And Tonto were there
As we sat around the campfire
In the night air

Movie star eyes
Perfect caramel skin
Screech. That would be too perfect.
Change that to something pastier
Alabaster maybe

The monster in the mirror 
Smiled with her green eyes
Vivian Leigh maybe?
She watched her face transform
But she added the caramel

Dinosaurs waiting for stone to erode,
their skeletons covered, uncovered again,
iron that's forgotten the blood where it flowed
and phosphorous leached from a primitive brain--

delicate sabers of soft-stepping cats
enshrouded in shimmering oceans of sand,
strata of relative sediment...
