Long Mountain(a) Poems

One day not long past our economy faltered
And wouldn’t improve if our course were unaltered.

'Cause we buy stuff at Wal-Mart (where things are dirt cheap)
'Cause they buy from China (treats workers like sheep

(So farmers left...

AN ILL-FATED ADDRESS

Being on holiday in Athens was truly the best 21st present 
my parents could have given me, stayed with my granddad,
felt great, I traveled on my own, no more an adolescent.
Sad that I...

at the beginning earth was a place uninhabitable 
to any living thing, it was nothing but a furiously

Objects


Are thought to be impossible by some
And by others, who have seen, Like me
a reality!

His company was large and the Press was there taking photographs
as his dump...

FACING ANOTHER MOUNTAIN

We’ve faced many mountains in our short years of life,
Some were a great decision, some were a pain or strife.
Some we know we have run from, rather than make the climb,
But now another...

Maybe i will turn out all right

Sandwich Island!...that perfect retreat
Say's "Lay in the sun..you fatty..and eat."
All of your innards..as your only ploy,
Luscious you bid me.."partake and enjoy."

Caught in the middle..like baloney on rye
Making me think all my dreams you'll supply.
Flush you...

Perched upon a behemoth
A mountain, a companion to a lonely god
Perched is a man
Scanning the Mother
He eyes the ground
As a hawk would spot his prey
He made that world his captivating obsession
There skittered people of a...

Toward the signpost that reads, lickskillet
Turn right up thar and then left after that
To a highfulootin road that’s paved in black

After you see the red store building by the...

you & i are animals
spawned from the
mud & flailing at 
one another with 
blades made of 
flint & with fists 
hard bloody 
knuckles all 
calloused from 
fight after fight 
after fight---for 
food, for water, for...

I wipe away the tears so fast
So that no one can see
Cause I’m a man who takes a lot
Of Pride in my masculinity

To my family and friends
I’m a rock, a mountain, a hill
And to some...

designed a perfect place to fool novice people and to

people look to man to create he should speak of inspiring

Lost in the enthralling love that radiates from another’s soul
That one soul you are connected, when separated you feel a pull
An unseen rope between two hearts, generated and integrated by love
Something so lovely and pure...

Wheel Of Life 
On yonder mountain a remarkable sight
Stumbled upon by chance
In shrouded mist, shapes start to unfold

Strange mechanism, a wheel is seen
Sitting there in crossed leg pose 
A being unrecognised by myself
Asked a question...

I hear you visit there every other week
It was the choice that you made so long ago
Hate saying it but you recall I told you...

Heaven Bound Part 2

I see Grandma waiting at those shiny
Pearly Gates
I'm sure you'll see lots of excitement as we embrace.
Then she'll walk me down those streets of gold, too
Headed for that beautiful crystal sea

We may...

Forever
As I looked at the old house sitting there all alone
I thought of the people who once had called it home

In the yard it was barren now the grass so brown
All that was left was...

I am a rock; earth, air, fire and water;
a child of the elements.
I grow and erode; 
my greatest strength is stillness; 
my voice, the silence.

I am a tree, a child of the elements.

There was a man that took a fall & was broken
in many ways
He had the strength to rise again after being betrayed
& led astray
Sometimes the pain is so great that it can throw you
off paths

Destiny, engraved on a mountain of stone, 
its greatness was foretold ever since the time was born; 
Whether damp of spring, frost of winter or gust of fall, 
hopeful hearts could climb, even the highest...

On top a mountain a legend was born
Of a train, whose whistle still blows
Tho there's not been tracks for a hundred years
This train, somehow still goes

They call it the ghost train, its final run
For it...

Trying to move the mountain, a daunting task I faced, 
Only a few pebbles moved, the rest firmly in their place. 
But undeterred, I ventured on, determined to achieve, 
For I knew that with perseverance,...

Into the mountains, happily they trampled, 
Underneath mudded boots, below the sodden grass
Rock lurking, dark and grey, a fossil from the past.

Rumble and it slowly moved, climbers trembling with fear
Looking to the sky above, the...
