Long Obscurely Poems

the waning moonlight thinly enveloped 	
the dusky canvas obscurely sprawling
across the way from the window I looked,
I knew a park was there with slides and swing	
but for the moment dark revealed nothing,
for the moment I...

As light plays upon the dark, that moon through stained glass windows
cutting a swarth across cobbled floors.
It seeps into the cracks like it's found home at last 
How a distant piano to a curious ear...

Disappeared
We- are gone
diluted into oblivion
we have nothing left but our footprints
The handwriting is no longer on the wall
The noses are broken off...

Springing free from glistening 
Fronds
The summers heat leaps for 
Height;
Whilst drifting obscurely far
Above 
A distant lark now hangs in 
Flight.

Floats down his sweet trill,
Accompanied by joyous and
Uplifting revelry,
Over the black crows nasal 
Calls;
Whose draped shadow,
contemplating...

Poem Title: 5 Minutes in my dream

My mind is a combination of many things
5 minutes in my mind you may see and understand many things
My mind beautifully made with no hands 
Many thoughts that make...

The winding wings spread wide  
I fly aimless in the turbulent air 
Across the fading hues of the rainbow
I get caught in the clutch of curling storm cloud 
The silver lines disappear in the...

I am a true contemporary
who knows how to acceptably 

write a poem.  First with a tangible
aroma of burnt toast, I will run on

my imaginary couplets like a stroke
victim of the modern prejudices.

Whispering shadow


Drenched darkness of loam
Under the crust of earth
Reassures sprout seedlings
Roots of emotions
Delve in heart for stream 
Revealing no identity
For thorn or flower
For sweet or sour
For hatred or love! 

You slammed your window panes every...

My Maltese falcon and falconer
Of words, soaring above the net of love
I use to walk from tree to tree
To hear on earth the strangest thing
The falcon that flies and sing
And every house and every yard
In...

I’m cold to the bone
All my life I have wandered alone
Though billions intone
Those others stray from my mind…
I trust my heart
To seal the truth of what I find:
The essence that reminds me
of seeking and of...

The fresh air delivered no scent at that dawn,
When i was awaken without single yawn,
Saint trinity's bell was sharp-slicing through mist,
The last of the doubts in my dazed mind was gone

Therein, laying dormant,
    veils of darkly reposed

Today my heart is obscurely tenebrous,
It no longer dances to your a cappella heartbeats,
Neither does it tune to the acoustic of your heart,
It has ceased skipping a beat in a fashionable art.

Today the virgin forest...

The home nestled in the hue of the blue hills,
on the wall of my longing there hung a mirror,
opened my one way window on the wispy sky,
like a bird I spanned with the wings of...

You are a shadow,
Glittering obscurely in front of me- 
Caressing my skin with gentle grace, 
Before I step into your embrace, 
And you consume me. 

You are a wraith-
Transparent in your intentions, 
You linger,
Casting a...

Pithos was originally the holder of it and then misinterpreted.

Arguing the very existence of it sometimes a fault we all utilize.

Nullifying everyone's belief in its reality forever causes sorrows.

Demanding of her and her giftedness always...

Poem #10 (Heaven)

An expansive ceiling above,
Like white paint dripped excessively 
On a black canvas.
My neck cranes backwards 
Following the landscape of blackness, 
And continues along with the on going blackness,
Until I almost fall into a...

THE DESIGNER'S LAMP 

Destiny an unsighted lamp someone lighted when you arrived
lights the unpaved path for you to complete the journey of fate.
The self-invented free-will envelopes your mind with a veil unreal,
the destination obscurely ordained...

What indignation hath a mothers fury
for one who illl-uses her own
Manipulation delivered obscurely 
In speech or in deed intoned

Upon such one her wrath will rain
foiling their plan of ill gotten gain
no hope for the fool...

Sprawled over grasslands yellow and desolate
Peppered across the breadth of ancient mesa
Who hides her creeks as they pass obscurely along
Subtle like cracks in an egg

With the first hint of dawn she is yawning, stretching her...

Ten for a dollar, not worth a dime.
Two bucks gone, such a crime.
The emptiness of their shovel and pail.
Left twenty mud pies up for sale.

Babysitter blues, six at a time.
We're left searching for clues, with...
