Long Put it behind Poems

An open letter to new legislators,
new chief executive officers,
new judges,
and all new healthy climate parents and other advocates.

When you were in the process of securing this new position in your life,
and, hopefully, the lives of...

Go...away…
It comes a low mumble but I mean it as a scream
lying here on this creaky carpeted wooden floor it seems
I'm not going to sleep for while, getting lost with my dreams
not like they love...

On one dark and stormy night… on a local, lonely, wind swept moor,
A very young and slightly mad scientist did some craziness, for sure.
Now mind you, he was only 3 years young, but, yet, still...

Today, I'm thinking about a man name Zack.
When he was young, Zack thought a lot about 'tomorrow'.
He tried hard to put 'today' behind him and forget about it.
'Yesterday' seemed inconsequential and of no interest to...

I shout out in the dark,
My trembling voice echoes in the silent distance,
Sounds of breaking twigs drew closer,
As chruching pressures on dry leaves expose me from underneath my feet,
I struggle to keep my ears closed...

 Bang! Bang! Who shot and killed
   Jeanette and Harvey Crewe?
 By whose hand was their blood spilled?
   The cops they surely knew.
 Two fatal shots rang out that day

"CRYSTAL"

A Little over a year has passed 
Since I first met you
At first we really hit it off
But, then, I had no clue.

A few more months had passed on by
I always kept you near
"Crystal was...

Which explains why you have not been...

“I have seen what cannot be unseen.”

Confessed the little boy
To a uniformed interrogator
From a small chair
In Iraq,
The boy’s lips dried and crumbled
Around his mouth
Like chalk
Outlining the final place and time
Of his terrible crime.

Dust is glued...

filled with the years of a love lost
..and of the cost

-- left scarred with wounds that never heal --
the kind of stuff that stays in your head
..just can't forget...

not realizing that is all I want
I couldn't ask for anymore

To be remembered is a great responsibility 
I will wear this name...

She threw an understatement where my thoughts lingered 
Words hiding beneath the shadow of reason, 
Triggered 
Thoughts sinking in portrayed reality 
Silently in a raging mind 
As she sips drunk from the bottle of poetry...

But I'm inspired by Mike Tyson, so I'm not scared of the...

Is truth handicapped?
Why people takes an oath of truth,
When a person speaks truth,
He also needs witness to prove truth.

If a person fails to prove his innocence,
Is a trust of witness more powerful?
What is a value...

I had to sit through it all
the conversation that was inevitable
What they did
Where they went
What they saw...
My brother and his wife
On the their expensive trip to see Roger Federer in the flesh
My husband and daughter...

From the heart these words are sown
Borrowed from the word and on loan
Follow along as you will read
In turn these rhymes your soul they’ll feed

In an attempt to pen like Cowper and Knox
And share these...

why do you have to leave now?
denial has been my pill
and collapse seem inevitable
if I stop.

How can I hold time responsible for this?
Is there a way to put it behind bars?

It was one of those days

Started with the shower

She wanted to join me

Which in any other day would’ve been great

But her best friend was sharing it sort of to speak

It was a sympathetic sort of...

Relations we were
On all seasons, either spring or autumn
Assemble unanimously for all reasons
Like numerous birds in a single tree
We extend our feathers with glee
Our elders were pillars
Shadowed us from all sorrows
We never get tired
And spilled...

Click goes the lock on the door
Keys thrown on the table
Light flicked on
Waitress uniform
Taken off
Life, taken on
I can’t sustain myself
On silk charades and mental games
Memories to make, are too far away
The best I can do,...
