Long Reconciles Poems

Learning disabled, hopelessly unemployed
Troy can't write the address for his next interview.
Warehouse stock, 331 Tiffany Street, in the Bronx.
His girlfriend, Trinity, also unemployed,
with one child by Troy. She's more resourceful
but doesn't realize it. For one...

I feel your anxious pivot to create
We flow the same irresolute way,
Often in raging storms
And sometimes in playful gallops
We see ahead 
That path onto the light of laughs
I am in awe of your effort to...

Posed such, in its formidable array
would guess that all protection in refer
not deem my soul respectively, relay
but from some archway's character of serve!

That guard of my esteem, not turning gray
is from some inner peace, not...

A single’s net is cast
A single climbs the mast
To view a sea of profiles
Catching eyes, some color-blind

Some emails are soon returned
Some senders have not yet learned
Most personals are not for wiles
Or just adult friends to...

Whisper's of October  

Whispers in this soup bowl
20 minutes after its muse explodes,
Daylight remains nothing more than a dream 
Warding off the howling sound in mid-September's stream
Casting a line about a ginger light,

Light falls soft against my heart
Pouring joy through my soul
Preparing me to give with a love
That is more alive than the thought
Who breathes a prayer, a plea
For hope that leaves a heart freed
From darkness, despair...

press ganged or poetry


head on collision with the truth

beheaded by ignorance’s sword

full steam towards censorship


synchronized fabrication

redacted news to follow

blank lines on the page …

A SYNOPSIS OF LOVE:

Love is not a folklore appreciated only in hindsight
Nor a fairytale told only to children under the moonlight
Love is real but rare as gem, like diamond and amethyst
It is far more valuable...

He is the voice inside your heart
the one that makes you care
the voice that cries at injustices
when life becomes unfair

He is compassion deep within
that stirs and makes you feel
the hurt and pain and helplessness

I remember the days before spring break being pregnant with buzzes
Of stirring summer drafts that rubbed elbows with me in the museum, in that hotel in St. Louis
Where his visage turned a new leaf of...

Dance and prance my sincere lady of the night
Always listen to what’s clear and bright.
Never disclose your joy from the light.
Carry your soul happily not contrite.
I am amazed at your moves, without a fight.
Never looking...

I gaze upon the spectrum of the past in rainbows and oil stains,
The lights dissolve into a sea of colors, of green, blue, and red,
And I fade with them, like a dream slipping away at...

Through the faded door of never mind.
Couldn't find the button to rewind.
A lost cause that was left behind.
Two stars that just never aligned.

The what if's stayed where no one looked.
One little taste and then you're...

With Divining Heart I Could Have Foreseen

With true divining heart I could have seen
little ripples of thy deep discontent.
My heart a meadow, once lush and bright green
now aching from lost days so sadly spent.

If thy...

And believe in the opulence of your
Devine being, BEHOLD IT,
As the proof, You seek is THOU
As Heaven’s Breath of Spiritual eloquence
As an Infinite horizon
In the radiance of light of...

Here comes the dawn
of a thoughtful Mourn. 
Month of the desecrated demise
of a Monumental personage.

Unpleasant feels beclouds the air
I consume,
My structure reconciles itself
to the dreadful wake of the dawn.

Hushed his grief within,
As though He counts...

The laughter of women sets fire
to the Halls of Injustice
and the false evidence burns
to a beautiful white lightness

It rattles the Chambers of Congress
and forces the windows wide open
so the fatuous speeches can fly out

The laughter...

After breakfast
And a few chores,
The weight of the day
Is heavy upon me.

And so I strum, strum, strum,
Trying to sum up the
Essence of a sleepless night---
A night of hogwarts.

Not really--------------
There is nothing magical
About insomnia,
Or sleeping alone.

A moment in time where we must face ourselves
A moment that not all of us will treasure in the future
We are naught but a life, a soul, and a posterity
Forced to seek inner guidance
A moment...
