Long Mayday Poems

Hello again Conscious, my dear friend
hello again dear mirror, my wake up call

They were bound for North Carolina to the city...

the boy lay lifeless on the stiff ground
his white clothes dipping in red

A cargo ship, the MV Dali, sailed to greet the dawn.

Roaring engines, wheels on tarmac
Flight 82 is running late
Pilots push the throttle forward
Flight 82 disappears into the black

The nose rises, the speed quickens
G-forces push you through your seat
Inkiness outside the windows thickens
The planes’ destination silently...

Excitedly we travelled to the fair.
   As fragrant scents of flowers filled the air.
   Dawns gift of light showing sights enthralling.
   Dewdrops mirror, broken pearlstrings falling.

gripping numbness
ripples across my face,
infinite timed tears
burn through my skin, 
glittering a fire
of unrivaled suffering 

grief beyond measure 
rips apart my psyche, 
keening at a moonless sky 
I am bereft of my star,
mourning an existence...

Between God and the human race
is space. Oh,what brought us to this place?
I mean, He fashioned us to be near to Him,
to be His dearest friend, but a foreigner

I turn to my girl highlighting Mayday is near
A day of spectacle that the whole village views
There's Jesters of folly and Knights without fear
Witnessing lances and jokes, always going askew

To view such we can venture...

Dark fog thoughts

labor nonparties
early May dazed

Of retiring Birthdays

with crystal induction Both-And

Now that April's showers have gone
And whoever wakes in England

I read a notice in the paper about a free Church dinner
“I’m going, this will be a winner”
