Long Paleolithic Poems

Poet Identity

In conversations,
In biographies,
In resumes…all poets are writers,

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT NOBODY KNOWS

The Paleolithic Era was a long time ago. 
It consisted of a few years in a row. 
That's pretty standard as eras go.
I don't know what happened,
but there's one thing I...

Just see
How fearlessly
Sunshine is seated
On the  gravestone

And the caring breeze
Whispering to the loneliness
So absolute
Beneath the tombstone

A paleolithic stone
A meaningless silence
Guarding utterly alone
The desiccating non-existence

Here lies she
Neither sad nor happy
Decaying gingerly
Enriching the earth

Are all doors...

Before the primate known as “man” became loquacious, 
With all his fishnet shenanigans, skylarking monkey shines, 
And thermo-nuclear weapons, 
There was a time when words among men 
Had not yet become discrete utterances 
Encoded with...

HEAVEN THROUGH THE EYES

The moment I am out of the box
Foxes and hyenas surround me
Needy greedy aggressive seekers
Those who even a second before
Lay hidden in hibernation
In the tightly closed boxes of steel
On the verge of elimination
Thanks to the...

               In the quiet whispers of the night,
I hear the impending dawn chuckle 
a shadow verse 
of glimpse of soon-coming,

Like nations many, at Central South Asian seam,
With its roots in the Paleolithic time stream;
Home of cultures, habitats, and martial movements,
Lounge of Arab, Muslim, British, Greek amusements...

Empires many, like spiders, yearned to spin in; Failed!

IN THE BEGINNING THEY SAY MAN WAS WINNING
AND THEN I MET YOU, NOW I'M IN A ZOO
IN THIS PLACE WHERE I'M DWELLING
THERE'S REALLY NO TELLING
JUST WHAT I MIGHT DO TO GET INTO YOU

People Not Prolific During Neolithic

With some subjects can be able to concur
Then regarding others may not be so sure
For instance human and world development
And why from God all of this had been sent.

For our creation...

Soot on LA highway signs. Billboard of you,
a real estate agent. All endeavor slides
toward inertia, extinction, forgetfulness.

It’s very tropical. Vegetation invades
the house unless constant inputs of joy
apply. The scientist in you feels the

On brown sands of an uncultured river
In the burning sun rays of the primitive sun
Would lie in wait the sharks and crocodiles
Of the time when it was a paleolithic weaver
Of dancing carnal shadow of unclothed...

In morning solitudes of the secreting scarlet sun
Where love penetrates partitions of the past
Riding on the refulgent rays of luculent light

Orbs of passion permeate the twilight realm
As they tease &...

I find my memories, to be
a collection of convoluted excursions
from every moment lived out of place and time
like the handprint of Paleolithic Art
that says... I was there

Could that my memories be manufactured
and not lived, how...
