Long Monocle Poems

 
The silent song of Chester Gray, 
a murderous affair 
This quiet soul of little word, 
not known of him to share 
This eve upon a moaning moor, 
a pier of rotted wood 
A body...

Clouds spiral down and curl around to touch me
—not those western drizzle shrouds
baring a sad soul of mizzle misery 
...though I adore a good wallow in sorrow  —no

Watch out, brother,
An eye's following you,
Watching what you do,
Each movement remembered.
Don't cheat,
Don't steal,
Don't breathe too loud,
Someone's sure to find out.
Each flaw, each mistake,
And blow it up big.
Your life's another production,
A movie or an album.
There's a...

CRYPTIC CALLS:
i
The night called out to him
A man of plane fleet
Gloved in illusion of machete and strength
To beat out from the web of sleep
And answer the howling cryptic calls:

Cryptic calls of hooting owls and chirping...

Sometimes people ask me... What's in your purse...
So I tell them the best that I can...
Lipstick, chapstick, matchstick
What’s in your purse?
Billfold, change purse, money counter, and clip?
Aspirin, Tylenol, Tums, coupons and stamps…
Tissue, pressure bandage, Mom...

A four piece string ensemble competes
with fluted crystal glasses harmonizing
to the tinkling of fine silverware
underpinned by the purring whispers 
of well-to-do's and their hobnobbery.

Buttery lobster and rib-eyed supper in
opulent gravies and exotic spices;
cornucopia fruits on...

1. A dangerous vision coveting another,
blurred by envy to need a mental monocle.
she burns in such deadly blast
not to realize the soul already promulgate itself
to the better one.
Nothing can serve as a wake up call

i watch the sunrise
unbuttoning the stuffed pouches
of thunderclouds

soaking
imagination
with dry-drunk dewdrops
becoming bubbles

worn 
by the roots 
of rhinestone rapids

beauty

dancing on the tides
from down

Her exquisite lace linen collar tiered in layers of dainty threes
Was not the only beautifying feature of Princess LaCrees
Her beetle necklace of green peridot was engraved well
Her monocle was designed by Bob Mackie’s protégé, Snell.

As I pass through time
in my physical vessel
I connect the rhymes,
balancing them on my mind's trestle.

My consciousness detaches
from emotion and commotion
and intricately latches
onto an outstanding, expanding notion.

At twenty-three and so onward,
with every new midnight,
and every...

And then find out that it wasn’t then

The Clockmaker

The old clockmaker sat at his bench
In the shop where he'd lived all his years
With a monocle lens on his eye
And his desk filled with sprockets and gears.

Everything had its place in a drawer.

Insurrection of dust
Phantasmagoria of markets
Sagging tiffs
Drunken kisses

The once and repeated newcomer.
A monocle
Surveys pandemonium's dais,

I dreamt of a monocle night.
I saw; I was sitting upright.
As usual, the earth’s lamp was bright.
There-by unveiling some ants in fight. 
I saw a tired knight.
Seeking a shelter, to spend the night!
Helpless I was;...

Why do we have pairs of scissors?
Since that's how they've always been known,
why do we care why we call them a pair

We danced and howled with
with laughter through confetti!
Blew horns and kissed aplenty
Because~The New Year was here!

With joy and gladness,we threw

Champagne we drank, yes some

Because ~ The New Year was here.

Each day,...
