Long Pinches Poems

This situation has no basis in reality; in fact, it is ludicrously unreal. However, the likes and dislikes shown of its author are completely true!

I was forever losing things, and my laughing friends called me a klutz,
Like darker skies misplace buttery sun, when a severe storm develops.

I had once lost the keys to my house, and waited locked out...

Back when the strange appeared uncommon, 
I knew I was just beginning 
To scratch the surface of the truth.
So I got myself a shovel.

As I dug deeper, I discovered my scent so jaded
As to not...

An elastic band
Held between two fingers.
His index, and mine.
He takes a few steps backwards,
Gently stretching the fragile ring between us,
Testing its strength from either direction.
Two forces, working together
And against each other, at the same time.

Sara tiptoes across
The kitchen floor
To get some heat
She opens the oven door

Sheets in the window
Sara calls them curtains
Mind weary, Soul hurtin'
Sara

Sara lives by the train tracks
At Sixteenth and O
Her Mama calls it a shack
But to...

The asphalt forms the perfect landscape
Its been laid down for these words
Its been placed here for this very escape
But its been created for the backwards

And its my only company 
As i lay in box of...

My Love



I love you much, my love, therefore I beg you
Give me that which till today, nobody have asked you
Don’t puzzle, I hope, you’ll help me in this regard
Best beloved and well wishers have supplied...

Women are like dogs, but they are not dogs.
Whatever name you call her, that name she would bare.
Should you call her a dog, don’t you expect her to act like a hare
She would certainly give...

Take a look my Love
do you see how the diamonds of our dreams
are burning so brightly and violently
silhouetting the lips of our wishes against the walls of ancient Latin gold
in the sacred villa of Love's...

I believe my mirror is not truthful
Because it says " i m not beautiful"

Really do wonder , what beauty actually is ?
Leaves no word in throat when i realized the bitter truth

I m not like...

I stare at birds flitting branch to branch chirping happily
but birds flitting branch to branch don’t touch me anymore
my calloused senior feelings come more frequently now
just like my urge to pee

Sad, pitiful, stupid stuff enters...

Condemned
I
I just woke up from my breathless bed
And wondered why I still live
I thought death would take me on a leave
Unto the path I never dread.

I sat down on the couch
My sins stirring at my...

Fasting cleanses both body and soul
It breaks you only to make you whole
Its spiritual connection plays a vital role.

Now not only the wearer knows the shoe pinches
for you get the chance to be in the...

The streets are shadowy and solemn,
shook only by the drunken alley cries
of men in dance and celebration
of a Saturday night spent well
at Madame’s.

I sink into the fire escape,
as I always do after dinner
to gaze at...

three words
eight letters
whisper them into my ear
and I’m all yours, love
never thought I would ever be
ready for love
ready for love
and then
somehow
sometime
I was ready for love
and you were ready for me
fallin hard and fast
and you caught...

It’s again that time of the year
When words bandied are ‘Love’ ‘Romance’, and ‘My Dear’
Question popped is,
“Will you be my Valentine’?
No, nothing wrong in it
That’s fine
But to find ‘genuine’ love
And not to be scoffed
Take advice...

Polithiefcians are 
here
again
The 
polithiefcians 
here
again with guns
The blood of 
innocents
about to be 
flowing again.
In the silent 
breeze mouth
about to stop 
chewing
And body about 
to be
tormented by 
hungry
dearth

The 
polithiefcians are 
here
again
Villages, cities 
and streets
about silenced 
like
mooless...

Tips slide on smeared plastic
A decision is mulled 
With a mantra of “Ah”
A muscle curls on lips

A ritual is completed
A summoning has been made
A Wizard scribes a spell
And stabs a wand into parchment

An alchemist perspires...

I reminisce, I miss

She pants in low moans,
Meandering through dense brush,
Shrouded by evening sky above a forest.

With damp and matted fur,
An amber-eyed predator sees no prey;
Her hunger grows.

While creatures huddle with their clans
In feathered nests and sheltered lairs,
She...

To her I wanna give flowers
I want to surprise her with the most expensive necklace
I desire to take her out for a vacation in Miami
She absolutely wants to see me
Getting the most romantic dinner recipes
Irresistible...

Last night I dreamt of them
Fleeing under the cover of darkness
Liars, adulterers, murderers and thieves
Terrified of the monsters on their heels 
They flew into an abandoned house and began pushing old furniture against the flimsy...

If streams of my dreams should screech to a halt
Inside a smart heart gone stone cold
Enabling losses, mosses and tosses to unleash the thunderbolt
That with no iota of care clinches and pinches my gold

In addition...

A rhyme isn't a reason to hate the way I write these demons 
if only I could see a light for seasons changing 
a reminder leaves are changing 
or a night to rearrange things 
but...

1929

Depression. 
"Way back then..."
A terrible time, 
when good people 
were tested.
Some did okay. 
They lived through it. 
They still raised their families. 
Some did not do as well. 
The other choice, 
was to give up....
