Long Palladium Poems

From north, south, east and west 
This is the town to beat the rest,
Where history and present blend
As through its many streets you wend. 

Where once a monastery so great
From every view would dominate,
Where Pilgrims...

LITERAL SENSE :

Concrete counterintuitive ratioed for looser and Leader;
Interim arguments to know who's worst and best person,
Makes no sense either.
Itemised unique personalities need no prejudice session. 
Sparked to negate fallacious  rudiments; deal art.
Trumpling down...

   "I have seen and heard the vibrancy of dreams, 
and the way 
of the crossings-through the ills 
and through the barriered things."

A fleeting spark that perceives, 
I, have seen...

Brutus Iulius Trois page 08 

Suddenly stillness all sounds silenced  the last pirate slain.
From the bowels of the Tireme came cheers that grew louder
From men newly freed from their enslavement  to the Thracian...

Sometimes some lost and lonely housewife I know well and knew put glossy
lip stick on and subtle pastel shade mascara plucked his brows and shaved
the pits of desperation the dust and grime the secretive desire...

good morning
The optimization of algorithmic formulae in a lake is creating a custard like vision. But visions are often akin to vases but clearly cleaned out by tackling the hooded fish by dive bombing using...

I know I’m just another
stating above and better
trying to place letters
to a beat with base and treble 
as my only form of credit 
to impress so they give merit
Offer opportunity 
tasked to write a tune...

harder than, a diamond
stronger than, a lion

JESUS IS... MY ROCK
and He's solid
awe and awesome
all this and He saves me

Jesus solid-Jesus  is the rock my rock, my rock, my rock
Jesus is, Jesus is my ROCK

One day just like that she began.  A little smudge no bigger than God's thumb.
Forgetting old bones and scarred memories she was born one early March. 
A lion in a baby carriage roaring and...

Marginalized middle finger people
moving upwardly mobile
on a quality-of-life escalator going always down

Mall pallbearers for the palladium pocketeers,
(them who bring forth weekly pocket tears)
Three-piece suit gator claws with Wall Street wolf ears

Kiss-the-ring finger people
trying to climb...

REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE

Spiralled rainbows ! 
burnished tapestries of trials
Birth, love, death ripen 
Winds of Change for our country’s call
Battles in a corner buried, we haul
storms or it’s enthralls …

Falcons swoop on soldier graves 
nostalgic...

A wandering canal, mirroring serenity, the face of an emerging season,
Lush, sprawling, verdant, frolicking hills;
A pastoral sight, wandering through an idyllic region.

Journeying on paths of free will,
Surrounded by fields of hopeful golden seed,
Lush, sprawling, verdant,...

Phosphorus sugar
It’s glowing in the water
Supporting all life

All will be coming from what we start now
That walks the earth and the ground which we plow

Continuing mission that cannot end
Getting from all we receive and we...

The union-management talks reach stalemates in their sessions.
Our representatives are attempting to gain concessions.
If we do not obtain better working conditions and a pay hike,
we see no other alternative but to go on strike.

On the...

this poet’s page suddenly turns black
stars appear

am i standing on the earth?

the sky like the palladium
of the phantom of the opera

a masquerade of candleshine

i wouldn’t be surprised to see angels
descending 
each holding a solitary beacon

For V.R.S.
 
A bend, a pirouette--a flower's dance
reflects in his shadowed eyes, and in her
thorned steps, the atrophying force rooted and redoubling.
Promise me, he breathes behind a teacup
while she is encapsulated in a globe of...

Lying in an augur's aviary..
Reneging on my virtues,so credulous..
The feying fay being taken to 
bury,
I see things called ambigous.


Slowly fading odour of scantity..
In Attica, end of augustan age.
Wings of Azreal, the martinet 
deity,
I see these,...

The Mad Hatter wears a cape
velvety smooth and perfect
He walks with a diamond tipped cane
with white and black pateint leather
shoes.
Gold laden braclets and chains
carrys a silk stotch guard napkin
that repells stains.
hair slicked back
Man dudes flective

Honey Locust Trees, perched precariously on
Ledges lost amid ruptured chasms of evil
Ant hills, protruding fistfuls of grapefruit-sized
Giant ants suffering remnants within sight of 
Chernobyl, in the Ukraine forbidden zone;
Seemingly immune to the poisonous pods;
 Literally...

Classic T V 

William Tell, Robin Hood,
Ena Sharples in the snug,
Gibbs SR whiter teeth,
Billy Bunter getting grief,
Hawkeye, Ivanhoe,
Twelve-inch screen full of snow.

Dragnet, the Army game,
Francis Drake pirate ships,
Seventy-seven sunset strip,
