Long Lunges Poems

Politics and Poetry – is hate really the answer

Why write a poem of hate about Trump
He’s been there just over a week
Though Hilary Clinton the people did dump
It still matters not what they seek

He cussed...

Give me a minute to catch my breath before I discover what’s in store
Embrace your passions…never let it go…
I smell the scent of death…what am I waiting for?
Embrace your passions…never let it go…
One…two…three…four…I’m waiting behind...

The journey out of Egypt...
It whipped me in chains of captivated reverie
Unnatural liberty clearly doesn't free you and me
It's all about the journey out of Egypt...
Out of exile...
I'll run the extra mile...
Just to see you...

He plays throughout the house at night 
a braille touch for his lack of sight
and dreams of all the crippled things 
with broken legs and shattered wings.

The bandage on his wounded eyes 
will be there...

WHEN I GOT STABBED

The blade went through my flesh like a knife through melting butter.
Thoughts ran through my head as I bled out, like no more will I see my mother
Anger and rage streamed through...

Give me a minute to catch my breath
I smell the scent of death…
One…two…three…four…
Open up the corridor…

Be good to me and I’ll do good to you…
I don’t wanna know your dark side and I don’t want...

Did you just leave me in a blink of an eye?
My ears aren’t open to your heartless lies…
And your twisted lullabies…and your wretched goodbyes
Did you think you’re gonna get away with hating on me?
Oh how...

A hiding place, a warm and darkened room,
A lit doorway, bright against the dark,
Cold against the warmth, a frame for odd
Assorted stranger-forms whose faces loom

As quarrels over (what?) convulse and rend them,
Leering laughter giving in...

For example a Dachshund dog was thrown 5 floors to his death
The owner photographed this and posted it online
His dog looked like he was sleeping but was dead

I tracked the Dachshund Dog’s Killer down and...

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous...

He walks the moonlit moor,
With eyes all aglow,
Hunting down his next victim,
Bringing death unto us all.

His ears are perked up,
Listening to the sounds,
That fill the night sky,
From the bats to faint footsteps,
And horses neighing in...

As I watch the rain coming down in measured bursts onto the dark waters of the vast bayou.
My mind notes the watery circles and bubbles that trace alligators asleep in the slough.

I check my lines...

Rage… that’s all have now,
The loss of what could have been, 
And the youth that will be affected.

Memories fragmented, pieced together…
By an imperfect mind
Information from others,
Filling gaps…

Misery is all I have now.
The loss of what...

Man, I remember the thrumming of that last bell of the school year.....
Like a prisoner being furloughed into the warm sun, buzzing of grasshoppers.
Field stickers burrowing into your ankles, joyfully, while you take the wrong...

I look around the unfamiliar place I am standing in.
All I can see is darkness.
Its cold out.
The cool frosted wind whips through my long hair and past my ears.
Im alone and confused.
As my eyes adjust,...

Uncertainty, 'grand potentate', 
swathes my lure
For renewed insight. I dropp 
upon
My groove, primed, to settle my 
lot. Help! 

Modest citizen. Our battles, 
girthed
For selfish intent, lunges at your 
faceless sense.
We have rasped our own 
reasons...

...Sitting in this cell
Laughing at this guard that fell
Nothing else to do but play with the dirt under my nail
Days move slow as snails
Sit ups all day
Push ups every way
1000 lunges
1000 crunches
So much time to...

The young rain-dog spins-the axis of the Earth-his primitive howl is a native plea.

A dance to beckon the rain. The dog lunges, the dust swirls, yet the morn' sky 

remains a hot blue glass; it's...

The decrepit Winter door drudges open drearily,
			And with it, delivers a deluge of drunken delight--
			Soft succulent sapphire skies violate my visions,
			I stand suffused with muse and mystery in moiety;
			A masked man in vast lands of...

I recall when I once sat,
Sticky spiders spindled about my lap,
Twisting and twitching within my place,
Lost to another incurable case.

Bent and broken, we struggled to find
A compromise between heart and mind.
Pretences built high, but still...

Ok you don't want to love me...that's fine...
But do not stand there and try to tell me how I feel 
and do not stand there and make it seem like my love wasn't real

To See It With Open Eyes?

What is wrong with everyone?   
Every time I turn around, 
someone is accusing someone else of being a racist.
What is this racist thing?
Is it a disease of some...
