Long Pendulums Poems

A prawn masquerading as a peanut can be quite disturbing. So many times a peel is a garment used to shroud. A tentacle hidden. Here and there. Then to reappear with an often violent burst...

When we fight in silence, like titans abound by egos
An eager poet overcome by words.
A beautiful model delicate as raindrops
When the silence in the room is as thick as our nostalgia
Wanting to hold each other but...

I can remember passing through
this town as a child,
stopping for a pie
on our way north.
Now it’s bypassed – barely more
than a clot lodged 
in the spidery veins of a map.
Most of the houses are empty,
the...

The stars above are as beautiful as you, love
That, I know of

The heavens above are pure and peaceful as doves, love
That is where I long to rove

Nightfall is as gracious as your eyes that shine...

I Think OF YOU

Ticking grand-father and grand-mother clocks
Are we facing each other in gilded frames of the
Timeless, ticking with ages movements slowly down,
Yet resetting each other with the golden keys of
Loves unyielding devotion.
Swinging pendulums swaying...

While racing on the rocking horse of youth
Going nowhere closer to the sun or faster there 
When swinging pendulums from Democrat to Republican 
Age picks up the pace, in speed it keeps us in our...

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum...

The changed wind today,
Blows a spontaneous rhythm;
Endlessly on broken chords.
As every He/She pendulums blindingly,
To blend and bend themselves craving for,
Inquest of a roller-coaster joyride inside;
And ultimately is found to return,
Tuning itself in-wards;
On blind voyages from...

Pendulums have been used for divining -
for finding bombs, water and gold ore
But you just need a crystal on a string
to find some answers you are looking for!

There’s something that you really want to know...

Life is like a pendulum…rhythmically swinging to and fro…
it swings back and forth through opposing forces wherever we may go.

Nothing ever stays the same…our world is in a constant sway…
it’s like there are a multitude...

My mind and heart will never be friends.
Sworn enemies, they wrestle and box
for control of me, the battle never ends
like the tick tocking pendulums of clocks

I ask my mind when it keeps me awake,
"Tell me,...

?? What about the darkness?
 Incapacitated Captain captive
        In the light why must we gather together 
And hide in the open

As early dawns sunlight, of golden glass....

Now drips from the ambient forest of green

Showers of light reflected, from across the pond

Gazing amid the cabins threshold; these love laced thoughts

A nightingale lingering; singing atop the windows...

When two rays intersect at a point
It is called an angle
It is found in many a shape
Like square and rectangle
So let’s journey through the realm of insanity
And meet their war-torn, weird family.

The youngest of the...

Tracking time has changed throughout the years
Improving how hours, minutes, seconds appear 
Sundials, hourglasses, pendulums and more
Wall, wrist, mantle, waterproof - clocks galore

There is a certain beauty to time hanging from a chain
A charm of...

The Bride and the Gambler

On the cool forest floor, 
she flows, 
like the fog rolling, away.
and guardian beasts held in stoic capture.

As the cold Night it steals a Gamblers Stare.
It leaves well enough alone,
folds it's...

A wizened little old man hunkered over his bench.
Gnarled hands wielded screwdriver, hammer and wrench.
Hung on the walls of his shop, all types of clocks were arrayed.
He'd been a clock maker for decades - he...

Time

Like a shimmery satin
Ribbon blowing in the wind
Time slips and twists,
Its meaning constantly shifting.
How much time is there?
Do we have time? How long?
Can space be time?  Is there
Only a certain space of time
In which...

grandma bare bosomed and barely covered by frayed crocheted pants
looked like a mixture of parakeet and paragon in a fairy tale’s garment
under cover of darkness she would bare her wickedness and emotions

Thirsty Water

I should have gone to work today but
your tongue convinced me to come
inside and play with you…to ride our
red rocket ship to the  distant planet of
lust where our sensual sins are instantly 
forgiven...

Just when twilight and dawn finally mesh
in the quiet passage of breaths released...
there in that moment, I witness
a thousand wishes dancing
through the shadows of my mind,
each and every one in the form of chiaroscuro
marked by...
