Long Murkiness Poems

There are three little words on tiny stones strewn along the floor
of a never-ending stream which runs through a misty moor.
A marvelous moor of uncertainty where mysteriously all are led
to cross a flowing water all...

I heard a whisper…

In my dream last night,  you've found another to hold

Where the blind ones tossed and turned, lost in a labyrinth 

Your lonely nights becoming  a sanctuary forming  desires

Turning your...

When I whirl as wind, 
unwavering ~
 surfing on 
watercolor wings 
of simmering seasons, 
 which flicker
 and fly through me, 
filtering my faults
with a wrinkled fantasy, 
I waltz whistling ~
in their whispering waves, 
where...

Born into November, just past autumn
Almost winter, yet still walking over the crisp
Colors, scarlet and gold, bold carpets
Covering the ground, an earthly promise
To those who know that somewhere, spring
Is waiting in the darkness, echoing
Its music,...

If only you knew
Of how painful is the throb
That grips my heart
When I think of how cold you are
Towards me, Love!

If only you knew,
Of how powerful are the waves
That strike my coast
Submerging me in their...

Make A Poem II
Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton


The moon was nowhere to be found that night. The grim and 
opaque sky clouded the aura that was meant to be revealed. 
Before the grand opening of the museum,...

I have waited
For more than a decade
To know of who the skies 
Would choose as my partner
In this world

I have waited
With the patience
Of one so totally enamored
With the idea of you,
Having fallen from your altar
Up...

The morning sun showers its rays,
Standing between two mountain's way,
The valley of flowers opens its eyes,
And washes its face with melting ice,
The yellow glow slowly surrounds,
Like a majestic king's glittering gold crown.

The shinning dew drops...

In the midst of your tranquil vacation,
In a foreign land adorned with dreams,
If by chance you see,
On the edge of a sea, under the starry gaze,
High on a cold and lofty rock,
A woman, sad, gazing...

The black hole was enticing me, 
The mysteries lying past, its sensuous obscurity,
All the lights behind me were waning,
And the gloom spreading all around me,
I saw a few reasons to turn back and seek the...

As the current year is quickly ticking away
The time has come for me to share,
My resolutions for the coming year:
What all steps I shall take in life to fare.

Every new year is a time to...

Their murkiness has begun, an agony may follow,
Yet, you can see their faint smiles with their eyes losing their glow;
There’s a cap on their head concealing their sparse hair,
Still, they don’t want to judge that...

When life parades a fine line 
between alienation and rationality,
internal intruders of the soul shroud spotlights.

In my dreams 
I'm playing charades with the grim reaper.
surrounded by selfish acts from satanic spirits.
Featherless angels of twilight need...

For years she had slowly slid from well cared for home 
to musky boxes and rugs.
Sitting in a chair, watching old movies,
pretending the devastation around her had not occurred.

Her senses deadened, she neither saw the...

Who would stare at a sky
without the constellations?
Its immense void would only be
filled by the gruesome darkness;
and the obscured earth would have no luminous
moon to gaze upon those mountains and seas!


Times past I used to...

How is it viable that life could alter the course,
from people to people? 
What makes you quiver in the middle of the night 
to play with my agony?    
Until it is encircled...

Conclusion of past regrets full of rage
Last scene closing on the finale stage
Oblique entries into a malevolent cage
Secretive questions why were we engaged
Egressions of needing to turn another page

Optimism for a novel and fresh new...

Away from the areas of complete ad nauseam
As political cases grasp a zenith of their corium
To utterly saturate the airwaves with information
Each other's obnoxious and feeble description.

I'm fully aware, listening to the unrelenting billow
My musings...

I know nothing of the roots of mortality
and therefore, cannot question all known forms of certainty
But, as I look out and gaze into the eyes of infinity,
time stands still 
 	and the fabric of reality...

CREATE LIFE CONTEST

Before the dawn of yesterdays, a new 
day was born for tomorrow.  All the 
seedlings forming into ageless amounts 
of roots working together in perfect unison.  
There will always...

The distracted lady
was a complete stranger,
with a pre-occupied finger
pressed to her gypsy lips
Choosing between two items
of indeterminate value
Which held more, I couldn’t tell
I only observed that she made the choice
with molasses deliberation ... 
slow and...

Thoughts drift into the deep
Penetrating fears, aspirations,
And suffocating emotions 
In my dreams

As light turns into darkness 
Loud morphs into silence 
My mind drifts 
I paint numerous faces 
That may exist in other places

The watery murkiness...

There is a darkness always lurking around.
Concealed, but ready to pounce, swoop 
you downwards rapidly and keep you there.
Hold you captive in a hole, in darkness.

There is a darkness called depression,
a mental illness that affects...

Farewell, au revoir, goodbye, convivial summer. 
The day is late now, and the breeze is warmer. 
A vacant ocean-side barricaded motel. 
Wild geese are soon flying in lines as well.

Vacation homes drop their literate barricades. 
This rich sweeping green...
