Long Out of sight out of mind Poems

Silent thoughts


Candles burning brightly bring visions to my eyes.
Shadows dancing in the corners give this room a supernatural vibe.
As I sit here under the covers, all fears are held below;
I gaze into the broken mirror,...

To the legendary teacher I pay tribute
For imparting live voices to the mute
You paid gratitude
To the multitude
On the mountain top you stood
And all the heads understood
You never said ‘Never’
As admired in Geneva;
Tremendous work for real
Remains...

You look back at your life
Wishing you had more to show
Wishing you had done more
You find yourself periodically saying
That you've always wanted to do this and that
But never had the time, never took the time
You...

I refer back to my descendants with ativistic charcteristics,
Hit the beat with a punchline and regurtitate on it's existance,
Where did Skitzo arrive from, is he a miracle from the Heavens?
Through the mist and the fog,...

An infinity of night for us to burn in our love.
You, my love, a beauty within a silver spotlight.
I shall drown in your beautiful eyes forever,
never to leave the reflection of all my desires,
the queen...

Drop me into the sea of dark.
Where my journey has no certain end.
Out of the atmosphere.
Of what I know was your hands.
You don’t need to cry about it.
I’ve seen this before.
I’ll walk this storm drain...

Like an earthquake that strikes far off the ocean SHORE,
Turning into a tsunami and creating havoc with a mighty ROAR.
Every effort is endeavored to keep our inward storm out to sea;
So deep inside our silent...

For many years, the creek, ran passed as a drain,
Polluted and unloved; a poisoned murky vein.
A favoured dumping place, for household unwanted things -
out of sight, out of mind; and no good what it brings.

Maybe this can't be saved.

One more short year and I'll never see her again. I'll always be wondering about 
her but it's better left that way. Never been able to face the truth. Even now.

I hear a few songs from my playlists that make me think of you
And I wonder if you have any that make you think of me
You don’t call anymore, even after I asked you to
And,...

Mum said "birds of a feather flock together" 
so I searched for a man who liked similar weather 
until Dad stressed "opposites attract" 
and I tried to determine just what I lacked

"Small packages", Mum said,...

WHERE DO THEY GO?

Warm summer day  Sunday morning family outing
To church to  give thanks for  God's goodness
That old lady again sitting at the church entrance 
All day she collects pennies from parishioners
And...

most people trouncing round the empire 
walk with a sense of respect built by
the accumulation of things,
built by the constant reassertion of one’s
personality publicly,
pronouncing themselves a 
functional
social
being,
as defined by these terms alone---

and the western world...

Life is just beginning, we should rewrite the ending.

What life means is to be honest and jolly,
Knowing this will begin my folly.
Everyone observes it in a different way,
That is why I am begging you to...

Most people avoid her because of her heart.
One minute she is caring, the next she is overbearing.
The next she pours her heart the next she takes it all back and remains silent.
Too many mood swings,...

Jared’s father was abusive,
And beat him every day.
The boy escaped his world with drugs,
In time, he lost his way.

By thirty, he was on the streets,
And no one seemed to care.
Passers by would look right through...

out of mind
out of sight
was what you said last night
as the light was turned off 
and I walked away shackled in shameful handcuffs
skillfully placed when I wasn’t looking

out of sight 
was what we used to...

Freedom 
is found and 
so rests in measure 
and solely and alone upon 
the given surrender, the one compleate 
abandon to be found within the open heart of the 
broken, will, as as well...

You know and have seen all I have done
and made me view all one by one
my own iniquity so clearly I see
What possible value can you find in me
 
Words I have spoken that caused...

The Devil Within

I’ve paid nevermind to the world ending, it has ended for me many times, only to begin again each morning.
For behind these once innocent eyes, a true darkness there lies.
Hidden in the absence...

In my bed.
Winter blahs.
Colorless ground
Icy jaws.

I poke my head
Timidly forth.
I see some green
I feel some warmth.

I stretch my tendrils
Toward the sky.
Spindly spikes
Reaching high.

Slowly my body
Unclenches, unfurls
Displaying a wonder
Color and curls.

I dance in the breeze
In joyous...

Torture’s Toxic Contagion

From where comes these perpetrators,
These conscienceless mortals
Whose senses are quashed by orders,
By fear...

Have you seen such a thing?
Heard it, tasted it just the same, 
found its rhythm, found its bang.
Only later to figure you forgot the name.
There is no shame in this,
for in between beats and jives

It strengthens the heart muscle, it's something you should do
It made me think about my health and all the things I see
That I should...
