Long Obstinately Poems

But those danged dandelions obstinately kept their tops on, no matter how much we did fuss.

Come on fellas, I said...

Mates in droves, admirers in rows, dreamy Damon


Enriched to glimpse soap opera face as I boarded

For out of you come issues of my life tremendously;

Enabling my will to harden obstinately.

All avenues are amphibious arenas
Bubbles belch-burst, bitter Bacchanalian bombs
Clouds' cast-iron crescendo creates cold cantankerous caricatures
Drenched - darkness descending, daylight dying, disappearing duskwards
Every eye echoing every eye, emotional evidence enveloped
Fake furs, fashionable fools, firm friends fleeing...

Mind often makes a circuitous pilgrimage
Sliding down and going up the banisters of time
As I hear the grating sound of worn stairs behind
Memories come darting in and out of shadows

From childhood’s flamboyant days
Mind scuttles between...

Bedazzled by immortelle, or steamed away by Nuevo Fidelidad

The horse sped by, restlessly galloping 
The train disappeared in a blink 
The cars are obstinately racing
For a moment, I forgot to think! 
The gushing wind is loud and unforgiving 
The ground under my feet...

The morose man
Complained of the incessant noise
Coming from his neighbor's ceiling fan
Saying he wished they would stop playing with their toys
He took a martial tone
He'd become quite indignant
Saying he'd like to take it outside
While obstinately...

Yours is a horrendous bother
I decode one side, you obfuscate another!
I twist and turn, twist and turn again
Fingers engrossed around your parts, another twist
extirpates the other side! My enthusiasm refuses to wane.
I warp your shifting...

Trepidation although is apprehension
Rankle causes much irritation.
Enmity what a deepseated hatred
Meretricious always vulgar when stated.
Embroil involves a hostile reaction
Nemesis our inflicter of exaction.
Denial is often refusal to grant the truth
Obloquay utterances of discredited ill repute.
Ululation...

When inspiration obstinately runs low,
And ink stains drench an old copy.
Yet verses silently deny to flow,
While thoughts are damn sloppy.

And ink stains drench an old copy;
As she aspires to get rid of her blues.
While thoughts...

HESITANT
Aye
and to sigh,
yet never goodbye...
our reluctance to say..
to close..to leave..
to part..to kiss
farewell;
weider-sehn ,perhaps
au-revoir..later..
see you..wave..then watch
'til we  turn away
and cannot see
no more...
Aye
and to sigh.
A SELF-CENTRED CREED
Life is never the same,
one moment to the next.The

There’s a constant hammering 
Alongside my bedroom window 
Repercussions of a corrupt gutter 

The maddening drain 
Obstinately and persistently has refused
All rehabilitation efforts  

There are no 
drip drip drips
Only 
Pound Pound Pounds
As water clashes...

Between fence metal hexagons
Vibrant weed vertical weaves
Leaves poke gaps obstinately
Battle with wire web pattern


Because it can get through,

To prosper within challenge 
To reach potential during tough

YOU SAY TOM-AAA-TO

Never ever say sorry.
No matter how put,
a meagre sorry tastes

like yesterday’s curled sandwich,
obstinately irrelevant
to any serious discourse.

Instead, play for effect;
make your mark
with the equivalent

of a six course lunch,
a gourmet spread
of words, allusions

and classical...

Inharmonious worlds
 

We are two inharmonious worlds as a cry.
As if we like sins, deliberately happened,
As if we were obstinately juggling
The calmness of water and moment 

Two divergent epochs we are 
Between wilderness and return,
So...
