Long Particulates Poems

Reversals of Fortune
I. Most think luck’s just what happens, though love groks luck’s seized
by each seed that sticks (somehow) in less stone-filled ground
(which its siblings blow off or press past). That’s less luck
to my brain...

We The One Who Die


There you have it, something marvelous that is nigh impossible to achieve…
A small country hamlet that has completely banned smoking, you better  believe…

Somewhere in an offbeat location in Indonesia, people...

Our Earth weeps waves of falling tears-
   with hope, each one will be her last
to wipe away climatic fears
   from air pollutants that amass.
 
The floods are triggered by her pain;

Flowers blooming
Spaced out or in a tight-knit grouping

All around things looming
In space objects still or moving and zooming

Birds pluming
And other animals grooming

Downloads queueing
Electronics in need of a rebooting
Or powering off, to enable cooling

Below, on and...

Just an Apple to plucked from the tree!
Not one to let proceed wrongfully.
Create the character you want him to be.
Just an Apple deceitfully.

Just one Apple that is all he is.
Providing guidance via Psychiatry.
No one to...

Writings of a storm cold 

The house gently 
Creaks
From icy winds pressing against
Exteriors whilst slipping 
Through
Small inconsistencies.
Sleet dances against window panes.
Piling glass against glass,
Particulates of infinite possibilities. 
Fractals dancing down, 
Tap dancing on rooftops.
I sit...

2020
One in the afternoon and
Night has fallen
Ashes rain down like snow
And our world is different
Wildfires sixty miles away
Fill the sky with dark smoke
And the streets of our town
Yearn for its people to feel safe
Yet there...

In our hearts of hearts
Seldom does the mind thinks
Grandeur particulates healing for ourselves
Materialistic beliefs placed in spiritual sheets
Cover me, console me in my anguish and grief
Must I ask up in my chest for kindness?
Must I...

I

the yellow cries of creation burn in the subjective sun
staring rays of perdition’s psalm acidic as sinful balm
sear the fear of tomorrow’s bones into fleshly operas
observing with scientific malice the malady of romance

…the ghosts dance...

Living in fear of trou-de-loup
Jittering teeth as terror unfurls
Fingers of mist become pea soup
Unfamiliar with alien world.

Muffled sound hear dog bark
I think Hound of Baskerville
Vision has fled but fear is stark
Paralyzed ridged standing still.

Wendigo watching...

It all could be ambiguous

I would rather be chivalrous
Than frivolous

I work hard and meticulous
And do not care if others see it as ridiculous

I will keep my head up through any predicaments
Working hard with diligence

Among any...

Fiber Optics
Free verse

Humans are a conductor of light 
Filled with fiber optics of color
Sunrise is nature’s optical lamp
Splitting particulates into desolation

To be a waterfall in the face of fire
Quenches the fires threatening rage
When water becomes...
