Long Obfuscates Poems

When I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy's life,
although I didn't know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism's
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,

Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for...

Am I missing some thing.Do I misunderstand,as a witness I stand,witnessing the folly and madness of my land. For the devilish materialistic feel of cash in their hand,they will cut the hand of their brother...

Tim is a thinker and operates within the logic of his brain
Reasonable thoughts solutions imperative webs rule 
and divide analyses paradigms and guidance from hell

He googles and ogles centrifugal dispersion displayed
on the smoke screen of...

Reclaim Justice
To Ignite Spark
To bring in Light
Restating morals              
Universal Appeal
To correct wrongs
It involves a hearing
It also involves seeing    ...

Providence rode,
I land
On the island
To learn its code
Of conduct, as
taught by Mr. Rhodes,
emeritus professor of jazz,
etiquette & odes

He says it's like an
Amorphous Z,
a
venomous ignominy
that obfuscates your
vexilology
& depletes its logic,
tantalizing a tarantula
with ubiquitous uppity.
It's the maximum...

Time
Nothingness in it belies
A continuum, uncanny
In all lives it defines
Love, hate, rage and litany

A motion on its own
Sweeping, inescapable
A yardstick mankind bemoans
Perpetual journey, irreversible

It’s life’s anathema
Yet it counts life
It’s a thing of enigma
That heaven had...

This world is ours to save (or stain with plagues of what is feared).
Wealth builds high fences, rapes beyond (its appetites all ‘Sins’),
truth smeared as pawns protect cruel thrones (make moneyed men man’s kings),
not nation’s...

Just untangle and snip the threads and you will be fine. In the luminous labyrinth of society, a kaleidoscope of perspectives unfolds, where idiosyncratic souls shatter certainties, embracing the abyssal void. We, the insular inhabitants,...

Waterfalls of colourful lights 
pour from your heart into mine 
as a read across the page. 
I long for the feeling of your 
hand in mine while I sit alone. 
The world stops turning

Crystal waters plumping the honeydews 
and cascading through amusement park ride.
As tourists engage in espionage
in Duckburg at Knottsbury farms.
As graves of self sufficiency,
Communes of bagged embalm.
"Do What Thou Wilt","Do No Harm".
Spirit cooking, charms I"m sure.
Missing...

A poem’s like a snapshot of a quantum state of mind!)
where sharper image obfuscates the artist in the pix.
Reflections always backward; Man’s goals crippled from the start
for poetry’s a quest that rhymes with matters of...

Febrile Fog obfuscates palimpsest varnished promises..

Naysayers hoodwinked... deluded players peeling layers..denuded..

Deafening din of our chagrin...

Espoused by rabbles roused by mandarins’ sins..

Tarnished...pampered pilferers pickpocketing public purses...

Deploring the warring cacophony of citizens curses.. 

Ignoring the boring nagging...

Diagonal snow
Glides effortless through
the countryside of the
Amputee windshield
For the passenger side
Has always had a reticent view

Steam rises loftily
From a topless treat
Of gas station coffee
That which further
Obfuscates the scene

Mousey and silent
Each flake falls
Like the wings of
An...

Day's royal blue canopy fades into the outer recesses of space and time
As hoary sun sheds its fiery cloak for a deeper hue
Gilding light retracts its flaming parasol to horizon's edge
Last burning ember coalesces into...

There is a moment in the night, in the shower, in the quiet, that exist in its own temporal bubble 
and you are within it, stuck like flies to tape, as if at any moment...

We are in a business of vanity
All want to make their voice heard.
No one wants to listen, everyone wants to talk
Listening is a great skill which we are lacking,
We are delusional, thinking that talking can...

Across the tops of clouds they skate
like skipping rocks across a pond.
A blanket, downy soft, enshrouds
and obfuscates their earthly bonds.

The white seas part to let them pass;
the turbulence remains unseen.
As too, at forty thousand feet,
is...

Like an eye through a keyhole
the moon's eclipse obfuscates
sun's white incandescence,
turns the solstice to morgue-gray.

As mist rises from a charcoal lake
laced with ice's torn edges
minions of leafless oak and alder
witness in slate silence
winter's pewter ghost,
floating...
