Long Pane of glass Poems

I cannot presume to know the motives of those outside my own heart
And counted are the moments that I realize my very own
But I do know that human nature is irrevocably raw at its core,
And...

the humid thick air of a July 10 evening 
streets of new york city in july
heat that invites two wretched souls
into the beatnik hall

coffee pouring- smell of tobacco burning
a squares  mistake of showing up...

And leap a thousand meters towards the...

....in retrospect
There were mirrors  there
Behind it, where all the Jews would hide
How can someone blame the black despair?
All You were, was a mirror over there
Flooding naked imagery
Flowing naked mercury
Proof there were no fa-ked lies
Unless...

upon seeing the potted flowers in the store
so beautiful, so seemingly original in all their
majestic aura, flirting with all the senses,
taken in by the smell & aroused by the touch of the
petals,
the onlooker wants nothing...

I was shopping for a new gun just the other day
When, out of the blue it hit me what was right there on display
For under a pane of glass, there were hundreds of broken...

Let me be the first 
 to have the audacity to translate, 
This piece of mystery molded 
         in a magical meadow of mistakes,
The reckless subject, there,

I flipped the switch and it roared to life,
With gears spinning and blinking lights,
Dials with arrows swinging left and right,
And a GPS screen to track my flight.

Then I closely examined my historical map,
While holding the...

The frost bites sharply at my boots,
a quiet thief stealing warmth.
The world hums in silver tones,
its breath a shiver brushing my crimson cheeks.
Each step cracks the silence,
a fragile defiance in a realm
that stills itself before...

I wait for you in the moonlight
In the quiet of the night
Within this room that holds
So many moments of your life

The dreams you've dreamed
Still linger here 
Between these flower-papered walls
That look beyond the window
At the...

We stand on ice that feels much too thin,
six feet suddenly feeling like miles.
Our footing is loose on this shaky ground,
and the cracks can be heard all around.

I see the fearmongering, the conspiracies,
the boredom and...

A sonnet I will write with you today
Inspired by the beauty that I see
Beyond this pane of glass where snowflakes play
Beyond this pane where raindrops used to be

The creek behind the house has turned to...

The thief leaves his imprint on the door handle or pane of glass

And he takes your precious treasures and stuffs them in a bag

A child's xbox, your ring of engagement  and sells them

They are...

Water flows from the dam of life,
Not easy, but not all strife.
There is a point at which we die,
Lest we forget, not all goes awry.

Often, we denounce and scold,
As we pass from young to old.
Friends...

Walking down this road rattling my tin of pain, like the man on the corner asking for alms.
 Destitute and racked outside looking in at one who was more than friend or kin, won’t you...

The Old Man In The Mirror

Who is that old man who looks at me in the morning?
When I shave and shower he is there living in a pane of glass
Grey hairs replacing the dark walnut...

Oh, darling 
You are so broken;
You heart is broken, like a plate of glass;
You and your heart quite so fragile,
 you're like a  glass; 
How long will it last;
You're heartbroken like shattered glass;
Now...

Our world is but a pane of glass
    And I have seen the Grim Reaper
Lift a wearied hand with a stone --

The meadow's radiance gradually dimmed
and evening littered far and wide
it encouraged the unfamiliar 
and everything uncertain.

The night accelerated sounds of anticipation 
as a thousand strangers loomed
 
and I thought him to be a foreigner 
until...

I tucked my head into that pebbles pillow.
Grasping the night would be rather restless.
Your sight crams me, my love and fiery foe.
If ardor was aimed to be creepily hotness.

Grasping the night would be quite restless,
Why...

my lips brush your fingertips
long after your departure
your place next to me
awaits my embrace
as I bask in your aura
scooting closer to make contact
startling a blackbird at the window

tracing you onto a foggy pane of glass

Seems like always I sit in the same lonely chair, 
but no one ever hears me, 
sees me or feels my presence; 
I might as well not be there 
for all anyone seems to know...

My Bones Under Trees With Very Deep Roots

Life flown past is a broken pane of glass,
My joys were coffee dregs to be tossed,
My victories were not gold but mere brass,
And my awesome tales enlarged and...
