Long Quiet word Poems

Pssst!

Hey you!

Yes, you.
Quick message
on the down low
so maybe not quick enough.

We need to keep us
under the WWW algorithmic
pulsing predative patterns
for suppression,
lack of positive impression,
unproductive repression,
anti-sensual depression,
lack of marketable massive expression.

Why is lack of public health

Beneath the sunlit dome of sky,
Where whispers of winds and rivers sigh,
Lies a shadow, a wound unhealed,
The truth of mankind, long concealed.

We stand, architects of dreams and light,
Yet builders, too, of endless night.
The seeds of...

War Horse by Steven Cooke

Taken from Cloven fields, 
Where skylark and Grouse Linger.
Into the bowels of a troopship,
No scent of Morning Dew, No Bird song
Only sweat and urine,
And the distant sounds of war. 
No light,...

A gentle cough, a quiet word, a morning breeze, a waking bird,
Into her box her letters fall, soft flip flop slippers down a hall,
A radio plays yesterdays, and on the wall a clock face says
That...

A funeral is not the place when you find you need to laugh
Here is my true story about my little gaffe
I hope this poem does not offend
It is written in memory of a very special...

Let’s get this straight, they are not green, they’re just like us instead,
So, let me introduce you to, the Alien called Fred.

He’s from the planet Zod, a trillion miles away
And when he passed the planet...

For over a year quiet it lay,
the big gray stones in the walls
framing what seemed more
empty tomb than church--
the stained glass windows
did not sing out their beauty
for no one was there to hear...
well, God, as...

did you know 
in the fog, the secrets 
coil in each reaching tendril
floating in the ephemeral pause, caressing me
knowledge enveloped within
peaceful contemplation
quiet word-games of hidden wisdom
"Where did you leave your game?" The Great One chuckles

Got no time for You Lord
No time for your quiet word.
My life is far to busy Lord,
Filled with things of material wealth
Got no time for You Lord,
All my time is needed for myself.
 
Got no...

Papa sat there, quiet, 
Reading his books
Never raised his voice 
Or give you nasty looks

He just read his books 
On metaphysics and inner self
Books I have not seen 
On any library shelf

One day my friend...

Quiet word
I am the quiet word  you  hear ,
That  warns  you when, trouble is near,
The feeling you get, going out the door, 
Did you turn off the power, are you surely,...

   Peaceable releases stowing within the cool black darkness;
     Free from sound of sleeping...

Falling into a fake world
does nothing for the imagination; 
It just makes the fire inside burn, 
doesn’t derail my destination;
Falling upside down 
doesn’t scramble my head;
The thoughts that linger are always there
following where my heart...

I don’t raise my voice.
I raise stakes.
One quiet word
can tilt the floor beneath you.

it’s about weight.
Where you place it.
When you shift it.
Who you let believe
you’re not watching.

I learned early
the value of silence,
how...
