Long Piercingly Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

O beloved chevalier, 
cloaked in shimmering champagne armor,
tonight I long to feel your sultry skin,
embroidered with emerald embellishments 
and twinkling teal topaz, 
tailored to tempt,
veiling these tanned desires.

My soul sways to a chained string 
of...

I was cursed with ink 
intoxicating blank canvases 
with toxic scribbles,
releasing twisted tales 
of suppressed troubles.
I was a forsaken  ebony rose 
in satan's grasp,
kneeling on ungodly needs
in a gothic fortress 
of woeful odes,
surrounded by...

You're an individual.
 You're unique. 
And it's important that you 
create the space to 
express your uniqueness, 
and become the fully expressed, 
fully unleashed, 
fully unlimited vibrancy that you are.
There's a stage in a mans...

As the sky weeps 
in periwinkle petals of 
multicolored roses,
rinsed in lemons, and lavender,
the poet within me 
releases a bougainvillea 
bouquet of unfiltered gratitude, 
swaying to the celestial duet
orchestrated by 
the angel of raindrops,
adorned in...

‘In the nearest Earth’s trajectory
A creature with sign victory
Has raised my curiosity quotient
Soon I’ve become just reticent
A strange heavenly presence
With galactic perseverance
No words to define it
Cosmic light has its face lit
Bluish blush and antennas twin
Flaunting...

There was a poetry slam the Sunday after 9/11/01..my whatever she still is to me,
….she said “well free, did you write something about 9/11.  She’s a very good poet 
as well, so I responded...

My mind is a puzzle of cryptic metaphors.
whilst searching for my sanity,
I've become my own worst enemy.
In this cauldron of despair,
time is like sand in my hand -
an oxymoron poetic 
paradox of cruel compassion. 

Sadistic...

When tuscan tunes of twilight,
cascade as clementine confetti, 
She searches for secret silhouettes,
swirling to the symphony 
of sunflower serenades.

In the midst of faded fields,
marigold memories crawl back,
refraining yesterday’s
tangerine dreams.
Swans glide in
sullen grace,
illustrating a saffron 
backdrop...

What is self-motivation to you?  What does self-motivation really mean?

Are you self-motivated or easily defeated when complications and depletion of any 
success you’ve had, rudely intervenes?

Complications will surely produce unwanted thorns that can be...

I am the birth of
an unholy emancipation,  
watching dusk settle 
upon forbidden shores,  
unfolding sinister shadows,  
while ravens gather 
as harbingers of my arrival.  
Tonight I am the seductress, 
tempting temptress...

Writhing wickedly inside my cryptic cell.
This impeccable insanity that creeps
Like the phantom spider on my cobweb arm,
Tangling screaming insects in my sticky veins.
The blood red heat that steams my reason
To a bland white stone confusion,
So...

I was looking out at the great beyond
I saw you staring back at me
you were amazing to look at
with silvery hair and your piercing black eyes
and somehow they shone piercingly
and your aura, so mesmerizing a...

Oh how I'm so tired of feeling tired..... 

Weak and helpless, as if my days have been spent. 
Bent double, crippled backwards, now cast aside. 

It seems that, one by one, my organs crumble,

The Bowman's Shaft

Solo archer gathers mist of amour clouds, dipping venturous arrow tips in a veiled concocted potion, drowning its mettle in a whimsical bliss of a dreamt liquefied mirage that defines the elixir,

Cupids errant...

Please contemplate on the following line of spiritual inquiry:

“To what avail are scriptures etched on stones ~

If it’s true, we must feel it in our bones”

ON TRUTH

You rested the pinnacle of your breast
Piercingly, against my chest
Seizing the breath in my lungs
My nostrils failed me
As your fragrance choked each and every opening
Until a second felt like an eon

I remember everything about my...

you …

came to me today
(from anon)
wholly untold to your concerns
but real enough …
I was plodding the beach, tending wounds
when you tossed your smile at
me from a shrouded sun
off whitecaps, bursting into dazzle -
echoes, alit
each a...

Piercingly epodic passages, 

indistinguishable as snowflakes

to the discerning eye, perceived 

  as  prevised precept,  

distinct misgivings groveling

        about ego's mucky absolution,

 flaunting deeply defiled relevance

All up in a cloud
Foggy, cold, and dark
Everything so silent
It's piercingly quite loud.
I'm lost and lonely
No one to pick me up
No one to kick me down.
I'm flat on my face
But yet I'm spinning 'round.
My night...

Night in Lisbon 

Once, I went to a dance hall in Lisbon
 an awful place full of desperate middle-aged women
hoping to catch a man, any man.

Ah, for the horrible colours looking putrid on the wall

Ushering in the winter, auburn autumn is gone,
the feathers of snow dance with the arctic wind,
blowing piercingly across the blanched lawn
where bare trees stand defoliated and thinned.

A squall spurts from the horizon’s hazy domain,
and gathers...

My worst fear occurred and I did slip and clamber, 
With people watching my statements of thunder, 
But I did shout my attributions of collectivity grand, 
Until they understood not to tremor my shaky hand....

Gentle, yet hardened appendages reach out from her being
As eyes, that have seen many years, look piercingly about
My mother, she greets me as she has always, like her baby
With a smile and with love, her...
