Long One tenth Poems

That "FEELING" ...

The one that makes you believe
That everything in your life,
No matter how messed up or negative,
Is actually wonderful ...
The feeling that, for a few hours,
Chases every bad thing in your life away ...

I was speaking with my good friend
Donald John
the Evangelist for AntiChrist
the other day.

And I had to ask,
Donald John,
Why are you so against health care
for all our not yet slaughtered
and otherwise dead already?

Except perhaps health services...

LIFE IS GREAT FANTASTIC 
INCREDIBLE AND AT TIMES 
UNBELIEVABLE.

HERE I SIT ON A LITTLE LEDGE
I CAN SEE OVER OUR LITTLE VILLAGE,
NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMUNITY.

THE LAST MONTH OF WINTER.
AND THE AWAKENING OF SPRING.

YES, I KNOW...

Bringing the mind down the memory lane
And warning for...

Martin,
Not the German patrician, his vision was a stair
But our own peaceful prince

He invoked you as seeker
He invoked as our searcher
For history, he said,...

Therein lies your beauty
testify to me no longer
of dandelions and daffodils
of butterflies and bumblebees
do not chant as crows
beyond sight scatter
then gather
in frigid naked trees
diseased with
discord
disaffection
malfeasance.

The recompense for
transgressions
lays waste to beauty’s cache
of finery
of magnificence
of splendor
do not...

In an effort to immortalize you,
I gilded ocean size frames in gold leaf
and painted your portrait with peacock feathers dipped in oils.
I spelled out your name in bumble bee wings
still quite attached to tame bumble...

Class or Claaassee!

Night owl with an open circumstance fears
from blue neglect with the rages of unfortunate
idealisms---“why don’t you”---a nag  nag  nag

If I had been born a girl
I wonder what would rock my world
I really have to stop and think
I guess I’d have to start liking pink

One thing I know that would be really great

KUBLA   KHAN


“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers...

they make it sound so fine
"You can buy this for under thirty bucks"!
Whats the price?  $29.99.

Wow, that's a whole penny
there's no way you can lose.
with the money you'll be...

It was a day that I was bound to dread.
I woke up in the hospital and found you dead.
I told the nurse that I thought you had died and she examined you.
She found no pulse...

Amusing didst I wonder as I wandered  mind trails I had woven
Amusing ever onward on Fancy’s  foggy flights
Spreading Wings of free willed dreams to fondle with reality
and tickle tease the wall of timeless...

Could it be intelligent design,
That's granted me one tenth of a mind,
Carbon based and part of a scheme,
Made from star dust into machines....
Scaled us down so the tip of a pin,
Looks so round we can't...

Tender is my heart for you,
There is nothing that I wouldn't do,
To make you see,
That you must love me,
One tenth as much as I love you...

The ecstasy of your silk like skin,
Could easily lead one...

Sometimes, a slow fire burns inside of me,
And eats away at all the good I’ve done.
The Spark Divine’s across the Nether Sea*,
And of the blunt and broken, I am one.
I would my heart could smite...

It may be just a portion
Perhaps a small detail
To get your fire scorching
Or lift your deceiving veil

One tenth of a second
The pressure of my finger
A tangible gift beckoned
It will forever linger

My quirkiness is a blessing
Oddness...
