Long Manliness Poems

I have this burning desire
To find old mate
I want to sit
And chat with him
Under a Gum and setting sun
About what has come
And what has passed
Times of old
Places we’ve been told
Along the wallaby track
Signs of danger
Moments...

Slow and steady that growth this Land,
Of the free and brave at hand,
Manliness runs along,
In his heart a woman’s song,

To her husband does she sing,
Strengthens him when war bells ring,
He fights for justice, stands a’talls,
From...

While coming towards the boatman with a speed...

I write to you with nothing 

I write to you not knowing who I am in you 
I write to you with just thoughts, ideas of the ideal man 

Dear father I write to you...

I speak of pain without external scars
I speak of loss for treasured things
I speak in the silence of my broken heart
The me I hold against all that tears it apart.
You think I am whole
Because I...

Volition, orientation familiarization aahing
and oohing within restrictive paradigm molding
inviolable honorable gentility -
flagrantly, desirously, clearly boyz abandoning
willfully skirting, panting (heavily)
forfeiting abominably, (no Joe King) abiding

chomping at bit, damning delineated, or obscure
parameters, between one acceding
Earthlinked selfish living

WISDOM WAS FOUND

The day moves me into this ultimate search
Of the principality that Lords over life
And rules over Kings, nobles, aged and Princes
As my desire yearns for that which is profitable to direct.
Steadfastly aiming to...

In days of old when men were bold
And they didn’t use moisturiser....
They shaved with a sword, 
slapped whisky on their chin
And didn’t use aftershave in an atomiser

The scraped the dirt off with a shell, they...

Entering a new phase of life full of standing ovation
can be disrupted by the polarized effect of growth.
Innocence is pressed by social hypocrisy
to expose a young heart to adult conspiracies.
It’s tough to be in between...

I lay in your hands
like coins
jiggling before a
fountain toss.

“What is your worth?”
you ask.
Without asking.

You weigh up the risk;
mull me over in your mind.
Extrapolate the terms
for the term of usefulness.

“What is your worth?”
you ask.
Without asking.

Your eyes...

I had a cat that marked his territory right
into our TV – fried the whole thing
But I will not graffiti my alleyways with
crude phalli,
Spewing armchair warrior slogans across the concrete

My best friend growing up was...

From a neighborly distance, the drama of a life's finality unfolded
A man named Mient. Once a well-known construction-scientist
When we became neighbors at Christmas he was a double amputee
Both legs taken by diabetes, then a man...

Dear god, she prays, an unfamiliar sensation, 
The words tripping clumsily off her tongue: 
Dear God, I know I don’t talk to you as often as I should 
And I know I sin like it’s...

Your body smiles at me
so let me reciprocate the inviting gesture
with the natural gifts of arousing pleasures
well presented in erotic packages.

My curiosity is unfairly punished
by your hypocritical skimpy skirt
flashing the flesh so systematically and hiding...

Our fear of pain intrudes upon
The calm we have inside,
So forcing us, then, to control
It bravely; not to hide.
Steadfast and strong, that courage found
Is all we need to show;
That manliness - Andreia, yes -
Will strike...

Poised, she walked into a department store; a stranger was suddenly wowed. 
He appeared in ideal manliness, then lost her in the crowd.  So, he searched for 
those slender curves through all the women's...

Easter is upon us
My darling said to me
She keeps quizzing me for chocolate

    Maybe chocolate and some flowers

Dreamscape

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Camaraderie placates fools, nightfalls,
Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,
Whilst yon...

I stand tall 
in this belief 
patience and understanding 
faith in hope 
with loves purity 
with a manliness 
judgement impaired 
struggling within desire 
passion and courage 
a fortitude 
in the perfection 
of something 
so beautiful...

of a trending model

your delicate nature

Honeymoon.

I languish within the calm variant warm waters
Of inner bliss
As I linger upon her tender soft moist
Voluptuous lips
That sets my heart and soul adrift
To venture on yet uncharted seas
Succumbing to loves sweet surrender
Setting my spirit...
