Long Outreached Poems

The Air We Breathe

Whatever death hides in the dark forest?
The Man attentive to death-defying chances
with sinister low sweeping branches, strong
confused as to the hierarchical level
upon which their outreached strengths belong 
hurries along

Beautifully poisonous trees 
Gnarled...

I shall not cry on the shoulder that supports me,
   I shall not weep for this sweet passing, 
through the celebrations and pitfalls,

I got a curse
A witch appeared
And made me small

When I was wandering
A big ant hauled me
to an ant's colony

A pile of rice, chunks of meats
Tons of sugar pieces and shelves of sweets,
 I discerned there

Hoarding...

the alluring subtlety of her curves with each little sway
his basic instincts overflowing from pulsing music and spirits
her attire revealing, leaving little else to the imagination
while her pheromone laced perspiration wafting his way
leads him to...

Word: Drain

Rain falls and soaks the earth with the heaven's tears,
The wind blowing through and dissolving all of my fears. 
The aching heart I wear on my sleeve is worn...

A Grand Design


Through nature’s symbiotic grand design—
They share each other’s gifts in perfect plan;
The honeysuckle’s offering of thick
Sweet nectar which the butterfly consumes,
While pollen carried safely will transfer
To other blooms—create new life in turn.

The sparrows praised the morning sun,
He hugged the forest in his warm- outreached arms
The sun cascaded and grazed his fingers through every crisp leaf,
Over every sleepy tenant- illuminating their curiosity for each other

And the breeze...

Surrendering atop the tip top of the world
Beauty surrounding this bliss that unfurled
A flag of freedom, who knew me up here?
God did, painted this picture in the clear
Breath of cool mornings, crisp and pure,
A blue...

Longing from Your View

You walked into the room; my heart quivered.
Your beauty far outreached the distant stars.
Wanting in my body dreamed and shivered.
To spend a night with you, I’d fly from mars.

They say that in...

You are just a girl..oh wait.... A mother!!!
with ceasing dreams
ematiated talent
fading destiny
repeated history
yet you never learn.....
You are just a girl...oh wait.....a mother!!!
almost forgotten responsibilities
of growing up with undefeated needs
binded in chains of uncertanities
lost in the...

There's something from the Chinese
that's called the poor man's fortune.
when back in the beginning
was thought of as misfortune.

My story starts with Sally Trac
A waitress in a chain.
One courteous and generous
that no one would call vain.

Like a baseball in a glove,
I took my place in the holly tree.
From here, they must come and listen,
It's a grand slam... I shall speak cordially.

I brought enough food
to stay for weeks
until my simple message...

It clouds the vision of its proponents
Causing them to see things that are not.
It mixes their minds into components
To which rational people give no thought.

It dismisses those whose eyes are angled
Or whose skin is anything...

on the edge
of sloped hills
i stand alone
limbs outreached
longing for warmth
as i shiver
within this cold
december breath

i am bare
colorless
and numb
snapping within
from the weight
that hangs
like icicles
from branches
of soulless life
grounded
beside me

my shadow
is falling
more shallow
in these darker days
surrounding me
where i...

My imaginary friend isn’t doing so well
Or, do I refer to myself.  It’s tricky as Hell
Here I am, Pacing, retracing and contemplating
Alternating amongst the wreckage, my heart is racing
Now I’m face down, comatose, waiting
For...

I saw you face your lover; you both made
a pattern quite distinctive in the dark.
Silhouettes on the window shade displayed
two hands that met two others; formed an arc.

The hands, from arms outreached, delivering
their upturned palms...

The pain in your eyes we will no longer see
You’re with your master, no illness to flee
You are with your loved ones in the city of gold
Jesus’s outreached arms, a joy to behold
A young life...

Twenty five years of grave digging finally unearthed a new birth;
Emergence into a sacred world where the secret wisdom of simplicity 
Prevailed.

The connection was made, the gift giving;
Spiritual fire burned above his head.

LAST GLANCE

Time slips its bond to fall on outreached hands,
Gingerly seeping through fingers,
Grasping one last glance at the Grace that was;
When you last spoke,
Last touched,
Last felt the sun upon your face,
And smiled at the warmth...

Last night you visited me in my dreams
An unexpected, but wonderful surprise
You approached the bed I was laying on
Ever so quietly you came to me

With an outreached hand you touched my cheek
Your warm hands covered...

You should have walked in my shoes

You would have felt joy
You would have felt sorrow
You might have been bored; now and then
You should have walked in my shoes

Neck hair risen, toes curled
Knees bent; hands outreached

She's in the booth ahead of me,
On the Ferris Wheel;
Facing me, she smiles,
As we spin like a movie reel.

I don't know her name,
Or that any of the night's stars,
That circle around us and the earth,
Like...
