Long Patching Poems

The World has been playing a game
Oh what a shame
The world has been playing a game
This is insane
Leaders come and leaders go
Leaving me to continue the show
Leaders come and leaders go
Repeating the show of long...

I once spent a week in the drunk tank
couldn't handle the spirits that I drank
the cuisine wasn't half bad
we even had a few laughs

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first

We are all Nameless



What else is there to do
but to tell you who I am,
but most of all,

I know of a river of more than average 
Sorts...
Meandering, when not dallying to maunder,
Between many differing contours 
And unruly contorts;
Where a privileged youth once
Happily sought -
Pursuing about his passions
In the traditional methods 
By which...

Where are the women of old, those who knew how to please God,
Not with eloquent words or impressive deeds,
But those who knew the real work was founded on bended knees,
Because they knew it was going...

The stone, icy and arid
He brings it to the table, all the while a fable plays in his mind
He remembers a girl, a girl from long ago
His blade in hand, shining armor dawned,
He charges forwards,...

How little the clouds think when they glow white
forming shapes tossing about
when filled with moisture oh how grey they will be
until they shed themselves of this heaviness
like a heart in love skips a beat

  they break on through, sneaking inside my head
  far above, front-nosed pilots point high-flying seated people tubes
  passengers squeezed in tight, some...

We weave opinions like threads in a loom,
each strand steeped in the waters of fear,
each dye is drawn from the wells of desire,
stitched by unseen hands that pull the loom taut—
a tapestry frayed, its truths...

Twice beaten by life in my race but
Am not shy nor intimated to stand again.
Life herself is a lesson of Gold to learn,

Narrative and pattern of nature in...

Far adrift from the shores of myself or anything else,
wind and current don't play any favorites
they just do their own silent-timeless- 
unravelling dance.

Whittling days into wormwood,
making friends with a chatty gull
or is it just waiting...

Young hallow, how long will you let this one?
The brewing of Dizzying Falls,
The perching of your quiet screams.
The Aching, Panting Frowns that steams stiffness from your heart.
The Patching pains doesn’t seem gone.
The echoes from the...

Owning the ability to strikingly be on a rough road. 
Need the pride to cross the hazardous paddled rowed. 
Caesar energetically settled on a terrible decision. 
Cross a no-return line for Rome's dictator to goad.

The earth spins, perpetuating processes
And as we recount our travels
Our hearers marvel
Stories of prophets' heads on silver platters 
Representations of old things
And we should be somehow flattered
By images of our saggy bottoms...

Who told you ?
Who told you that I would still 
be here waiting ...
Bandaging and patching, 
cooking and cleaning, hoping

Anticipating your love towards
