Long Outward bound Poems

All type of bodies are posing in front of me
All type of bodies are trying to attract me
Big bodies, round bodies, plump bodies
Rhythm-less body with no shape
Walking aimlessly around the place
I am not interested in...

scanning the moon made him happy,
he babbled about it a he flew,
sending back new pictures endlessly.

WoodStock - Fifty Years Ago August 15-19, 2019

I knew nary a whit about
rock n roll history
soon to unfold August fifteen –
eighteen ninety sixty nine
mollycoddled, nestled,
obliviously preoccupied

bajillion miles away
attending Baker Park Day Camp
within Phoenixville, Pennsylvania
innocently naive...

Hurricane Florence
By Franklin Price
9/16/2018

She came across the ocean
With a terrible intent
Slammed the coast in Carolina 
She so slowly came and went

At one time while still traveling
A category four

When Moses came back down
With his tablets and inscriptions
He left some lying around
With some critical prescriptions

Continued at eleven
Not to stop the count on fingers
If you want to go to heaven
Add these extra rules and stingers

With its radiant heat measuring about ninty degrees
The town is having a melting spree and many people have to flee
The water is very hot and I have  an...

In the beginning was the WORD
And the WORD was ALL – 
No sights no sounds
No memory to recall.
It filled the void 
From no-thing to no-where
Through eons of time 
Before time was there.
When out of the...

Sometimes I like to go walking 
In search of a quiet place
To free myself for a little while
From the entanglements of this race.
Occasionally, I find myself, running
In circles of modern-day-dreams;
Making ends meet in the fields...

On ridges ripping skylines
The flakes of snow they paraglide
As fragile as my words;
When the seasons melt and turn,
Autumn journals fraught with by-lines,
Scripts of lovelorn suicide,
Of written pleas unheard.

As my words...

24 hours
alone with myself
the road goes on and on

24 hours
in my own space
exemption rides along

24 hours
eternity breached
its imagery returns

24 hours
tomorrow today
whose light forever burns

24 hours
becoming undone
the parts fall back in place

24 hours
the wind at my...

Tortured souls breaking free

outward bound into the night
tortured souls set me free

when you find your destiny
everything will be alright
tortured souls breaking free

let us go now finally
take this chance to set things right
tortured souls set me...
