Long Prostrating Poems

The earth moans the earth and blood is soaked into dirt, the beatitude stands still and the mountain goat is grazing patiently on the hill. The birds are conducting Sunday morning mass and the leaders...

Become my air,
pursuing my scent 
  in sweet fragrant  fields,
where devouring tastes 
   of bohemian spirit,
delicately descend 
    in subsistent sighs.
Distracting the 
     tones...

If I became an ascended master
No doubt I'd be a zealot
To see mankind empowered
I would openly proclaim my assignment
As I explain my desires
To my ascended colleagues
They all chuckle to one other
From my words so naive

I...

Nothing boot toe till rot and duff feet...

Attempting nightly ritual
nsync with sole and
instep of beat
January second 21:08
two thousand twenty
footwear equipped with
custom made cleat

proudly standing tall
(think) as an elite
able, eager, and ready
to sprint skyhigh fleet
ting into...

I weep for those tortured and misguided souls
    Who in waste take pilfered solace from above.
And ply a trade in cloddishness to avoid the toll
    That Death demands with...

Hidden beneath the leaves of trees is a blue shop -
Gleefully I smile;  half - construed but true shop.

No soul in sight, parking heedlessly, now I plight -
Wearing chapals, I go in - flight...

I chanced on him on my track to school
He was baronial and majestic as ever
Clothed in his outfit and elongated tunic
Clenching in his hand a printed work

The nugatory schoolboy in me promptly surfaced
As I proceeded...

Farewell, Sweet Summer!

Autumn near, flowers bent towards the sun
Almost prostrating themselves-so distressing 
Like beggars clutching at Jesus, craving the One
Sunbeams turn their backs without even a blessing

So the brightest star pulls away, off somewhere else
It’s...

Oesophagus is an appetite yet is it appropriate? Well in some cases it is merely only a handful of peanuts that shroud an already crowded melon. But what of force in a nation of static?...

A band of truth
A circle of love
An ownership claim
An advertisement to the world

With this ring I own you
I promise to cherish you
I pledge to take care of you
I hope what I say is true

With this...

Devoid of signs,
Clothed in widower gray,
Paths blank, mourning..
Above heavens clouded by nightmares:
Hovering as vultures,
warning of hailstorm:
Death of dreams
and silent screams..
She hears them..

And darts through the blocks-
empty as her heart,
calmly bursting..
Lips salted in dust,
Smoke filling her...

Catholic education taught me all my Ps and Qs
 when nuns and priests coached a child's reluctant view,
in a  quandary  and a  quiver 
   to kneel up straight and perfectly...

There is a war on earth against God 
attacking the very corner stones within pillars of belief 

Shepherd when the stars of doom eclipse red faced 
cornered facts bleeding innocent the silent screams tremble 

Unheard...

An aged pilgrim prostrating at the steps
of Potola Palace, to her piety I bow
My feelings long since forgotten now

A coroner speaks beside an unzipped body bag
talks of my sister's suicide with furrowed brow
My sorrows long...

I was awakened this morning 
To find an orange shaded horizon 
Shining brilliantly and magnificent 
So Plain to see 

The cool temperate atmosphere surrounded my 
Body with a mysteriously sweet aroma 
Oh Lord, I truly...

More precious than pearls are they;
Diamonds come not near in value;
Their weight impossible to be
Measured in carats of gold.
Oceans carry not such vast
Turbulence…

They flow from broken eyes,
But stem from a shattered heart:
Squeezed and crushed,
Beating arrhythmically...

As My hands go up in urgent prayer 
‘the question I wonder ,is anyone there .

Waiting patiently and hoping for a reply 
‘Is my call viewed as important ?
I ponder the reasons why .

My eyes...
