Long Pushy Poems

He didn’t really meet Sally as such, more she met him. He was walking down the High street when she tapped him on the shoulder. I’m in a real hurry, but your brother Tom says...

I took the only seed of hope
for any future healthy Truffula Trees,
but reminded my clinically depressed acquaintance
we are all born co-redeemers,
not addictively incubating extractors.

Ours is not to commodify 
what we did not recreate
for its sufficient...

A transitional skill
my Mom taught me,
good to use when I start to feel at-risk,
somehow and anyhow,
whether in my relationship with her,
or with Earth’s more kosmic garden of naturally wild and domestic spirits.
Remember to ask permission...

Out with his boys drinking, feeling rowdy
Special occasion
Rolling the way they do
His lover is not with them
She stayed in for the night
He misses her company
But enjoys his time with the guys
He'll swing by later

So I was feeling badly,
sad,
because I share our mutually complicit status
for my compatriot's difficult terrorizing
chronic stress disordering
time.
I too have been there,
lost there,
to a more moderate extent.
I just walked away.

I wish I had done more at...

Falling apart is human nature from the start
We cry when we break down with grief in heart 
Don’t walk away, but smile away the yearning of yesterday
Living, in general, is tough and fills me with...

So the ship will sail
For those who have the price to pay
And I have a tale
To leave here if I pass away
This journal will speak
To the journey I now shall take
From life here so bleak
To...

These secrets of the things I went through
As a child are so hard to keep, so hard to tell
I've made no pact, no promise with the devils
To keep the secrets, I just went through the...

‘Ossi’, what Western side likes them to call,
East returning complements with ‘pushy’,
No more stands there the brick-and-mortar wall,
Love’s lost still in old animosity.  

The wall o’er a decade and half back fell,
Yet, an iron...

"We've a choice, it's up on the board." ... "Be quick and write it down."
"Do you have it?" "Yes!" ... "Well, let's be away from here, time's a-running."
"There are too many eyes and too many...

“Loud, Louder”

(They call me, what they call me. Lonely, oh-so lonely.)

The heart is loud,
The intensity louder.
She is lost among their words,
No one has found her.

They are pushy,
They are wrong.
They are lucky,
She is strong.

They should rejoice...

A Pity-Pillow So Comfy
Placed & Plumped Consolingly
It Is Plush & Puffed With Feeling Sad
and Sulking Sorrowfully

Upon Hues of Blue & Charcoal-Lead
I Heavily Lowered My Bowed Head
As My Pity-Pillow's  Pushy-Perfume
Overwhelmed My Canopy Bed

Silken-Sorrow, It Softly...

I am the Project Air Bridge, 
The veritable virus lord-cum-felon of duty fraud.
Fumaye's privileged his bridge that projects pompous airs.
Maelstrom, mammon coextend where it forks and fares.
Transpontine ambulances shriek, hearses creak;
Cispontine pandemia profiteerings peak.

(Meaning Congratulation)

Mom, see this is my prize, the Golden
trophy; timing record I've broken
while reaching first in the sports event
of 'The Half Marathon race'; it meant
one to cover 21.1 km distance with no stop.

Smilingly, with tears...

You create them
You give birth to them
You nurture them
You raise them
All the while seeking to rearrange them
For you insist on always owning them

Kids are forever
Children are our saviour
Dynasties become prolonged
It is never best to have...

Like a prisoner caught in a cage, wires and strangers
People quietly watching from windows at people on the grasses
Silence in the golden skies while people walk their dogs
My dogs getting pushy, demanding nipping at my...

These are not events that took place very far in the past
These are obviously ongoing racial gaffes and contrasts
Where human beings are bombarded and mistreated
Where human beings are veraciously discriminated
Against, where politicians with supercilious smiles

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting

In "The Shootist", J.B. Books is not feeling up to snuff.
He has cancer. What are the concerns
of a man dying.

To die
commensurate with the way he lived his life.
Books dies in a gunfight.

Just like cleaning the kitchen floor,
The school convention was such a bore
Dire Straits flyers preoccupied the walls,
As pompous cheerleaders strutted the halls
Rosie Garcia such pretentious feign,
Was once a friend but never again
An island girl who...

I guess I'm not important.
I guess I'm not that great.
Some people say I'm wonderful,
I look at them with hate.

I try really hard to believe them,
But their true colors always shine.
One minute I am fantastic,
The next...

Cars raced passed, 
As I patiently waited, 
Nervously filled with distrust. 
At a crossing where safe crossing, 
Is now indicated, 
This courier of fortunes 
Not yet out of luck.

The band was loud, but in the other room and the bar was jammed.

One need not be David Copperfield,
nor a card shark/sharp, scrutinizing
random display codified

The chance to "win"
may appear tubby zero
analogous finding a diamond

with help of
a heartfelt superhero

nonetheless toil away, asper
