Long Poising Poems

1.


In the slow, dead hours that hang attendant
Upon the birth of the dawn,
When all things pure lie safe abed,
Nested in sleep's safe oblivion,
The rituals take place, unseen, unfelt
In woods or alleys
In the dry, dusty corners...

His synthetic skin made of wax, glass, and fibrous mass has more than an eternity brushed abrasively against my own....

The gods of oil have reigned downed their wrath,
For which we have not begun to see the aftermath.
For thousands of miles balls of tar will wash upon a virgin beach.

Phoenix rising

One can see the emptiness of ages in her eyes,
riding the beast of burden without disguise.
Dead to rapture and despair by daily routine,
taken another drag of smoke to be genuine.
Exchanging grieves for hopes by...

We have the purveyors
That hide the truth
Causing division
Poising the minds of youths
With hateful ideologies
And entangled roots
In a confused state
They spread the lies
In a toll of consequences
And on the streets
Innocents die
Their aim is but one
To keep...

Whose vivid avid amber eyes derived, it seems, from fable.

Her tiny tendons tied to nimble bones to each limber muscle enhanced,
By the hours and...

Once The Covered bridge





Till last fine month 
I was poising firm,
Aloft those giggling waters
that often went wild.

Taking pride of
my sinewy timbers,
As brimming loads of 
endless desires passed by.

In my days of youth
Condoned the avid,
Drudgery and...

12th Street

The curtain rises, the stage light
beams on the darkest street in town.
On a hot night, 12th street lives.
The old abandon buildings jump
with jazz, hot rock, and laughter.
Transient stars appear in glittering gowns,
poising for sightseers...

He sat on the bed of roses
They were spread in a confused manner
Certainly intrepid in their graciousness
Their petals waning at their edges
And there alone, he sank into another
She was distant in his dream
He was imagining...

Blowing breeze they are
Flowing fragrance they are
Glowing glee they are

Lively lightning they are
Tender thunder they are
Range of rain they are

Shining Sun they are
Moving Moon they are
Majestic Mountain they are

My Stars they are
