Long Magnitudes Poems

Herpetologist meets actress (Cameron Diaz).
If he's funny he's me.
South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must:...

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first

Vapors of emerald and jade ribbon the hauntingly beautiful sky,
and I sat in wonder, transfixed, mesmerized
For me, it moved, more like danced
to a melody that only the heavens could hear
For it moved me, danced into...

Oh dear! It’s December - time again to look into my crystal ball.
A ball of thoughts in front of me that I don’t need at all,
for I can see the images portrayed from other years,

now we come to the taboo part of our presentation
in which the secret of all time will be revealed
to those who wish to understand understanding

to stand equal on even ground using intellect and talent to seize all opportunities

It was a night like no other night
And it came out of nowhere
Our eyes locked on each other
And started the flames of passion

We move across the dance floor
And we know what we wanted
We wanted each...

walking the way of the freckle face boy
one and only one verdict comes to mind
nobody knows who is calling the shots
various factions reluctant to spill the beans

My dad always told me,
Your attitude determines your altitude,
How high will you go?
My answer then was I don’t know.

My mom always stated,
Do your best and the rest will be handled,
And don’t let people burn you...

A cosmic gulf of enormity besets thee,
as intellectual relevancy re-entry
splash down in a vast sea of ignorance

The empirical wherewithal to muse observe, 
with keen, hydrogen-based acuity,
is nary an airy given oxygen insurance

Doth not the face...

Cage the rage you envisage
At the slightest intervention
Your mood swing fails to assuage
When folly in full bloom springs into action 

To boost the small ego that looms large
In response to the uncontrolled wrath
Your short fuse...

Year round January through December

The weather
Taking turns for the worse or better
More or lesser

Among ancient and modern architecture
Made of similar and different textures

Near or far away from plants that do or don't have nectar
As well...

tension between
this singular male offspring and me dad
proved more ineradicable
then tensile strengthened steel rebar
which wall veritably, unequivocally,
terribly outlived purposefulness, egad
yet remained intact

even after this son left off
way after being a lad
din viz Harris heir,
withstood the...

Banff National Park is the jewel in the crown
On the rim of the world where pure silence...

WITH  JUST ~ONE  KISS

I rise, like fire in your eyes.
Feel the burn, as I discharge my flames.
Like Frankenstein, 
I will make you come to life.
Out of the sea,
I rise like the tide.
Move in...

Whining wailers never know when, 
opportune moments ever begin. 
An angry man hath his eyes closed, 
not a bit of triumph ever he knows. 

I smile and nod my gratitude,

I’m still standing, and all credit goes to God.
Many from all walks of life and places treated me odd.
God, I’m better than I’ve ever been.

Generally cheerful institutions
school and hospital, The Constitution, 
roadways with their yellow stitch lines.

Order on the mountainside, in the city, 
the veneer is thin, the people thrifty, 
the freedom to associate unlimited.

Smoke the cigarette, sound the...

Human conditions have no precedence
 Over dogmatism,  mindlessness, hatred

Religion  and exploitation  of 
one's mind and body,  One's lineage
and whence it came from.

Generation to Generation  makes
everyone unique and universal in
