Long Ould Poems

I Stumble Upon My
Words – I’m
speechless
We were so far away
from each
other…I-I-I’m one
with
r-regret…f-feeling
incomplete…
I thought our love
was as worthless as
the debris…
You smoked me out
like a cigarette…and

filthy, messed-up
street…
I thought your kind
of “freedom” would
set us...

Could hear the hum of silence harmonious to my mind’s...

She came from a life of obscurity
Pushed into the constant scrutiny
from the locals and around the world.
No longer allowed to be a simple girl.

Treating everyone the same.
She showed compassion to...

“Uh…uh…uh…uh… ‘at ‘ould ‘e ‘ice”
“That would be nice,” is what you meant
And with those words a hole appears
In my even temperament.

Many lessons we kids have learned
Sitting at your loving knee
Parables of wisdom and faith
And all...

The crumbling stones
against the Canyon walls
they restore my thoughts
they once were mighty large
ingenious stones 
now they are crumbled
crumbled into the earth
these stones shall crumble
to nuruse the grounds
seeds shall sprout from 
these stoney areas
to feed the...

Every single plant and flower is my friend.
Many the forest path do I journey,
Breathing in the rich earth and clean air,
Reposing in a meadow green just listening,
Amongst the dancing daisies just resting.

Could I come home to be with you, where the angels sing?
On a cloud we could reside oh we’d have everything.
My life down here has been so sad ever since you went away.
I play recordings...

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)


Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd 
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical 
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side...

Just the other day I came across a picture of you with your horse
And was amazed to see how much we looked alike
Could it be true that you are mere words upon a cold stone
Quiet,...

Come caroling on Christmas Day, my love.
Hark merry sounds, one spirit sings as two.
Rise carols high above white turtle dove
In flight with cardinals of reddest hue.   
Sing loud of peace and joy and...

Silence hushed, a crowd in awe,
Only crickets could be heard.
Under the spell of the Babe,
They looked to where he pointed,
Hoping to see a home run. 

Perhaps the greatest player
America ever-knew,
Would, once again, please the crowd.

Galactic Traveler
Alone in time and space
Lost in eternal paths
And orbits that you trace 
Cosmic cartographer
Through nothingness you turn
In hope some distant eye
Could faintly see you burn

Transiting the heavens
Resplendent angels' course
All of your life unknown
Viewed vividly...
