Long Overstated Poems

Randomling 1:  Matthew Macfadyen

I believe I'm in love with Matthew Macfadyen
He inspires in me a terribly bad yen
But as poetry goes
His name 'spires woes
Cause nothing rhymes with "Macfadyen”.

This overstated manner inborn of an innate
And intimidating...

How do we get to restoring democratic energy justice
for all EarthTribes?

Especially when those not originally enfranchised
in our GoodHealth Constitutions,
like slaves
like non-patriarchal
non-white
non-anthro
non-ego-centric 
non-elite subcultures
advocating for non-violent communication
inside health and outside wealthy green climates
probably don't feel this...

Beauty,
like Truth
with Integrity,
is better seen
than told.

Is healthier discovered
than overstated bold.


I need to discover
communion with trees
as good and faithful Elder neighbors.

I prefer to grow them from hazel nuts
and peach pits
and apple seeds.

To notice these young
until old...

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.
Noses upturned with a touch of conceit,
Hob-Knobbing with gentry and gentleman elite.
Colonel recalled, his luncheon with Churchill,
Discussing backbenchers...

He made me float…he made me beam with glee

Now I’m forced to see
repressed memories 
friends, enemies 
troubles I free 
again feeling me, 
who I used to be, 
finally, finally
I’m breathing as he,
I’m back to being me.

Too much 
too fast 
and I did perish
Though...

It's so hard not to miss you
It's not because there is a little less of me without you
Rather because with every beat of every second, 
You resonated me
I never had to be frightful
I could have...

A lecturer at Durham, he taught many to track. The plants
And blossoms; that he knew by heart, a...

Living in a time when time stands still,
society is mentally ill for the dollar bill.
This pension state of mind; contract extension
state of mind,

He threw away…he threw away my friendship
I’m as sad as a lonesome goldfish in the bowl
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a grip, man…

Without you opening me...

They said that love was for creepers.

People who spend too much on booze
and praise saxophone blues. 
Bodies aching for a warm touch-
waltzing alone in a room filled with people.

And love impairs your senses
makes you see...

From old and new squabbles sprouts!
After some side boundary rules flouts:
Its own list of blood-freezing deaths submitting;
A number that would send the humane vomiting.

From time to time sharpening local knives,
Not excluded the spears one into...

The man condemned, with bended head moved hesitant yet bravely
Atop the stair they took their place to face the crowd there gawking
The hangman sternly cleared...

Like snowflakes you fall 
Believe you are vindicated, distinct and exclusive
With innovative design and crystallized mind
Attempting to impress everyone with the hand you have

THAT’S REALLY COLD, MAN! 

There really is a woman who grants me utter peace
And makes me believe that we will finally get relief
It’s the same old story about youthful love crossing a sea
But when my...

Can you see
through to his invisibility
Don’t grasp onto
who you need him to be.
Sure, he’s a bit complicated
Let him be fancy free and overstated 
If you try to hard you’ll never be sated

Change this
change that
He’ll never...

Don't slide your arm around my shoulder

Convinced beyond the realm that it is true
