Long Parch Poems

A Dark Identity

Days into nights... time without time
Normalities of everyday life beckons to remain
Shadows with lights.... to find to define
I am he who goes by without a name

The world is only up to date
And I’ve...

Unblinking  sun stares down but this fire-bird will not fly,
Has no...

Since I started dealing with that adult style wage 
The Orange one used to welcome the new year 
With an evening date filled with cheer

beauty of life tugs at heartstrings

Each step would lead me further still, from yesterday and you
I forced myself to walk awhile, and savor morning air
While hoping I could clear my...

It was the time of Hadrian
18 years old, became a man
Said, goodbye to those back there
Left, became a legionnaire
Bade farewell to all at home
Serve and protect the gates of Rome
Became a mason, built the way

I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Of tango I wrote, and how dreadfully a brief one!
Terponei the queen whose loathing was as mine;
Of ignorant readers who eulogize nonsensical poetry
And a good-morning-life destitute of usual tranquility.

Dust dry winds that leech and parch,
Skeletal soldiers that endlessly march
O'er barren sand and rocky crest,
Examples of nature's cruel jest.

Plants that bristle with vicious quills;
A land that teems with ancient ills.
Cursed and blighted by gods...

Massively mighty thunderous rumblings
Orchestrate incendiary ‘arcings’;
Towering black titans roil, darkly twist,
Heart’s lifeblood readied lands shall soon be kissed.
Earth’s gales rise, roar, the screaming aether rack,
Reel further as seared heaven’s bellow, “Crack!”

Nature begins her cleansing cold...

Rugged, uncompromising and independent!
Unfettered by rejection and scorching sentiment!
Autodidact, Philomath and valiant quotidian debutant!
Confident enough to blaze a trail, ever unrepentant!
Ever untarnished, dauntlessly volitant!
Infectant, epatant, a true combatant!
A Benevolent dawn, nonfraying ever extant!
Be a lone...

There was a season, precious was that time,
When you were my dawn of ebullient sunrise,
Song of my mornings, exuberance of spring,
Blossoming gleefully life’s verdant prairies
Whispering to dreamy nights hints romantic
Adorning love verses in indulgent promise.

Joy the waters come
Joy in the window
And as the rain falls down
Onto the parch grounds
There’s a rainbow in the skies
I can see it with my eyes
Joy surrounds me
Joy embraces me
Joy kisses my soul my spirit

accursed creepily haunting
Phantasmagoria wraiths
vandalize residents psyches
within their sleep induced state

Sublimation shunts
slumbering souls
unknowingly held hostage
successfully sacrificing

Semi-smothered silent species
snoring simians steadfastly succumb
subsequent sibilant sounds
woo woebegone wicked transmogrification

dilapidated divested bodies deposited
wizard waves wand
watching whirling wretched lovely bones
whipsawing (in...

What a difference the sun makes,
All the flowers begin to show,
And the meadows we pass
Are full of lush green grass,
While all of Earth takes on a warm glow.

Yet we know rain is also needed
