Long Misgiving Poems

Invocation to the Muse

From the gleaming skin of life’s underbelly, 
sin unreconciled, formed from Nephilim seed,
fleet footed jokers mask pawns into flight;
To the epistle of the Most High.
For in the beginning, the true and only...

A Dark Identity

Days into nights... time without time
Normalities of everyday life beckons to remain
Shadows with lights.... to find to define
I am he who goes by without a name

The world is only up to date
And I’ve...

It was in the sorrow
That I learned to empathize and care
It was in the darkness
That my heart spoke the best prayers
It was in the silence
That my voice sounded tender
It was in the fear
That I found...

Along a winding country road
one autumn’s day of late,
I chanced upon an aged abode,
up a hill beyond a gate.

The house was old and quiet,
not a person 'neath its roof
but in a tree close by it
perched...

Like the empty smiles
Addictions hide behind
Her grief secret, silent
Coloring her in a heavy doubt
Darkness speckled in glimmers
Hope that could be read
In the moments, breathed
On the song of stardust
Dreams, reflections poured out
In lavender creams, gentle
Like a...

There was a moment when I dreamed – prayed
For this day, this promise, this light – shadowed by sensitivity
Love pouring out serenity in me, challenging my heart
To listen to the intimacy, the passion, the genuine...

Standing up on this polished stone as
A bard once upon a time
In the utopian monarchy of my lonely thought
Sharping up the plight for its prime.
As an apostate of vice
On the face of the last dime,
Announcing...

There are days when I just can't pray
My heart and soul feel like they're so cold
I can't reach out, penetrate the darkness
With a light from my dreams, a feeling
A belief in the hope God brings...

the graduation from a vaunted charter school

In flower’s noisy popularity
lies it charm for majority,
my fever fleeing when it is detached:
A couple helping that has been mismatched,
To their mouths lifted and delicately kissed
like something just found long missed,
I with a misgiving that...

My heart was a mess
I was in complete distress
but I laid those thoughts to rest
and now I'm trying my best
Holding on to the memories
but never looking for more than a moment at the past
For my...

down past the cold undercurrents of 
Virginia's Woolf, and Sylvia's wrath
searching through their darkest hearts
too many writers take another path

from fulfillment, and in their cups
awash with sullen antidepressants
pondering if they'll get enough
of life to even...

You can hear coyotes come a calling
And the cattle restless now and bawling
As we dodge the storm that sends us sprawling
On that range we’ll see no more.

The birds like omens now are all singing
And our...

Asleep while awake
Walking among the living
Trying hard to break
The monotony and gluttony misgiving

Lends to the sultry atmosphere
Saturated with dope
As departed souls in the troposphere
Perambulate on cumulus clouds grope

For eternity in serenity
Ensconced in minds so busy
They...

You caught my attention,
But it wasn’t my intention
To fall in love again.
This regret now moves my pen.

My envious heart breaks
So full of jade;
There was constantly another
In the bed we laid.

Once again, we walk through this...

Clumsy knock about clown endears
Bubble blown, unicycling, tightrope dance 
Underneath charisma, after the cheers
Grinning sinister inkling stirs up fears
Guise causes unnerved scare's enhance

Aside from a smattering of film features
What strikes terror of tumbling funny fool?...

Oh Thanks Misgiving!
I could fill volumes
of your treachery
of your faithlessness
of your debauchery .

Dad’s wine never
tasted better
on his bitter tongue
he never could
get it right
though I’m sure
he might see it
a different way.

And those lonely
college days
nowhere to go

Lying to myself, 
I am determined and strong. 
I’ve got to think clearly,
But I know I was wrong. 
When the pain subsides,
It comes back in force. 
I’ve got to see the future,
Let fate take its...

Do you ever think of the good ole days,
And what they really were?

Such peace and understanding,
Such joy filled our hearts,
No time for demanding,
How about a game of darts?

We all pulled together,
So no ONE did all...
