Long Mystifying Poems

A good time was had by all at
Mother Daughtry's. The next 
Day Damian was in his usual 
Mood with Molly in her cozy
But large room. He layed on her
Bed she layed on top of him.
"Hmm,"...

HEROES

Near somber guards, units of children heap 
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.
Friend, you chuckle, but your posture speaks
of duty on this day of contradictions.

Firefighters bow heads in silent paean, 
while polished trucks stand...

I feel like my life is a clean slate
When I’m reaching out to you

A successful career achieved without fear
I’ve traveled...

"The Whirled In Between"

What dreams 
in the time of 
not thinking

we spent aeons
in conversations
with the unbelieved 

deliberating 
choices towards 
our liberation 

traversed 
contracts written 
by the unseen

scrolling walls speaking

wailing towards
the...

Where you bound today of mystifying  days?
Can you hear me through that enigmatic fog?
Your Milky Way incarnate hyper trance phase.”

The Obeah Woman

Heavy musty air reeks with the Obeah Woman’s pungent perfume, 
sweat, burnt incense, bitter roots, and swirling black smoke,
dim light from a waning moon streams into the shadowy room;
and mirrors crack as restless...

As I sit during the aftermath of my physics test, another failure, no doubt
I begin to reconsider my existence, my place on this earth
Was I meant to be an obedient slave? Indentured to the restrains...

13, West Macott Road

My limbs are weak and body old,
Tired am I and withered are my bones,
The skin has wrinkled and is quickly peeling off,
The heart is lifeless and tears have dried,
My feet are shrinking...

The Forest

The forest never 
asks where it is
it always knows the way
be like the forest
You'll find me in the forest 
Beneath the silver birch tree
With ribs in weaves of primrose
And stomach in knots of heather
What...

His love, like a candle fighting the wind –
Silent, vibrant, in hues of glistening faith,
Whispering insight through a gentle flame,
Caressing the spirit with a beautiful that remains
The reflection of hope, peace and grace –
Promising wonders...

A little more than 66 miles from Albany.

Pray, tell me, does justice need to come from the divine
From that power which is still mystifying
From that power which is still in the process of being philosophized

Why, see...

LXII+ years old and he still carries a security blanket

Move over Linus
