Long Perusal Poems

One day not long past our economy faltered
And wouldn’t improve if our course were unaltered.

'Cause we buy stuff at Wal-Mart (where things are dirt cheap)
'Cause they buy from China (treats workers like sheep

(So farmers left...

Yesterday, turned out,
To be, a magical day...
I got a great new drummer,
Totally excellent, I must say,
And he took the band,
To his amazing studio...
With every bit of exotic equipment...
A musician could know...
He mixed in like magic...
Making...

Dear Awakening Poet

Known to women but to men: still a mystery

You were like the proud king lion,
Strong with thick main, 
No hair out of place deliberately.
Constantly parading by your pack; 
Commendation stood tall in there, 
No questions, phraseology or rubs, 
The podium harmonised plans, 
To...

I’d devour leaves which printed knowledge grants
feasting on sumptuous reading delights
to appease cravings of perusal buds...

Amidst spiritual metamorphosis

Book-engagement to me is indeed a God-granted privilege…
Exposing me, through printed words, to realities I acknowledge
Imparting knowledge and wisdom since pre-school to post-college
Delighting my educational journey’s mileage!

The poetical books are nearly, by me, complete;
Next follows those once-furled, parchmentlike
Scribal tablets on which were calligraphically 
Indited the books classified as 
Naught but "prophetical"-
After the major and minor scribes, 
The authors of which, and...

Serene in stillness,
uncovering in sense 
poise and reverence,
albedo delineates a world
away in chaos,
whilst discovering 
this ease and comfort,
a tome 
thought long lost,
resides in hands
gratified  
at its homecoming

Enfolded
in recollections
held between leaves,
this journal of time
crafted with...

I went to heaven before my time,
In dentist’s chair through sky did climb,
And in his goodness, verve and youth
The dentist took dull pain from tooth

And when the empty clot in gum,
Said write your name and...

Actually getting all of them cut
Cutting just one would hardly be noticed
Now I'm being quite a silly nut

English is overloaded I find
Wanna hear others...

Let poetry be your candle in the dark;
let its flame burn in your thoughts,
fueled by the ink of your pen.
It's your literary voice, let it be heard;
it is your connection to other sentient souls.

From a gem-encrusted window’s moonlit sash,
I peer vacantly on monetesque impressions,
 as they wander every ink shade hue  pathway.
bag lady street hail loner, 
water colour lachrymose plight,
 across the spillway nights-cape,
cul-de-sac of shadow flitting,

Would fury and lust incite
Taunting him to revel 
At things lovely and bright 
And only annoy and dishevel
The beast like a collar too tight.

Some whimsy flame smoking ghosting taunting flaunting sporting spontaneity.
To tickle amused fancies  while causing some to ponder on the intricacies of life
Why this night to indulge in experimental elemental Watsonian witchery. 
What twisted fate...
