Long Redesigned Poems

Enola Gay

There on the ‘North Field’ tarmac of Tinian Island, Marianas;
Taxis the sleek designed ‘Boeing B-29 Superfortress’ to ready for take-off. 1
Glistening, polished aluminum under the blaring floodlights filmed for posterity,
Maneuvers' the ‘Enola Gay’, chosen...

Into A Dark Raging Storm, Tempest And Hail


Into a dark raging storm, tempest and hail
alas, sadly all was to be to no avail.
Twelve pounders broke loose crashing about
some over the wind praying in a shout.

Prisoners...

Messiah’s portent
His advent, descent, ascent
Returns to cement

Apostates conspire
To douse the prophet's hellfire
But reap God's backfire

Curse your weighted scale
Your oppression leaves a trail
God's scale will prevail

Salvation has highs
Persecutions brutalize
Faith to exercise

Human worth erodes
Divine judgment at crossroads
Man's...

Was it just imagining
Which brought these eyes to see inside
Another world
We could have realised
A different story
For all our lives

Looking into this stolen world
Where the peaceful dream has unfurled
Its banner of love beneath the sun
A flag...

she's not rock postal... 
she designed the plank... 
Knows how to avoid the edge... 

she doesn't need to talk to you, 
...but will listen with intent... 

she used to pull the wings 
off flies... 
something,...

Hail to the thieves
that retrieve
lost trees. 

Hey! Where do you disappear?

Hail to the piercing taste of a pear. 

Hey! Why do you gaze at me so?

I don't need reality unless it's mine. 

Talk to me....

Peace is though difficult 
Yet not impossible to uphold,
All the kings of the states 
Must remain self-concerned,
Without poking noses 
Into the affairs of others,
Curbing cupidity 
To expand the territories,
Subjugate the nations of the world,
Enforce the...

Affliction fiercely force foreigners out of the nation ..
Citizen set sight to the sovereign one above..
The ones on earth becomes earthworms eating our happiness and paying it with extreme hardship..
Their heart is ganished with fallacy..

October is Dancing 
she is a trap of joy for a mark
to those tunes tapping on line
stepping out in her black
before the white for a remark
for the dance shoes redefine
the effect of all the months...

In times of retrospection we discover
The miles our vagrant compass trekked 
Silent horrors from which we recovered
What be righteous or unworthy we assess

For to all children life is not toys and hugs
Or enchanting dances on...

Here I am, Shake & Bake in the Far Out West
     where they now smoke down and out, their

Out of the pot of Nature's Heritage we were created.
The taste of originality to savor, such novelty to behold.
Fearfully and wonderfully adorned with a spirit nurtured as a replica of our being.
A magnificent culture of...

Alone in a room, 
alone within eminent doom.
I simmer so deep in saturation
that I forget that isolation happens in extended duration.
For the sake of direction, I reference past chapters
to avoid tried and true mistakes and...

There are places in this world where seldom a day goes by 
where someone doesn’t weep.
Where the night rings out in gunshots…
and no one 
ever 
soundly sleeps.

Where, if you look and listen closely 
no children...

Horizons
June 26, 2013 (Revised February 11, 2014)

Through my numbness at night
I won’t give up the fight
Toes can't feel the cold
So let these words unfold

These timeless hands that brought you here
The days without you...

Sidestepping the shadows and agony
 
A trance spelled vision offered
 
What body-broken progressions lost:
 
A miniature emblem in the holographic light
 
Healing minds belabored with aggression
 
 
 
For a second, all subjects grieved
 
Casting...

On the cusp of stepping into your promised land
Listen to the little voice 
Enjoining you to cling, to hold on for dear life to the hand
Of God where your boundless choice

Lies in wait to reset...

A galaxy, the type that’s spiral barred,
is based in Horologium the Clock,
whose circle center is profusely starred
with infant clusters in celestial flock.
Its ‘circumnuclear’ galactic core
so vast in span it’s said to be unique
is known as...

The art of conversation and Titian
 

Hail to the thieves
that retrieve
lost trees. 

Hey! Where do you disappear?

Hail to the piercing taste of a pear. 

Hey! Why do you gaze at me so?

I don't need reality...

I’m very pleased to introduce to you
something once a toy made completely new.

All you need are two good legs and balance! But it’s not a bike.
It’s as healthy as biking, so cyclists, take a hike!

It’s...

Good things will grow, from planting healthy seeds, 
Bad things develop, when we start to pay no heed,
Grains grew and flourished, filling up our fields,
Why oh why, did we cut down all the trees,

To move...

It was but a sandstorm, wind blowing hard and high 
Nature’s way of redesigning the landscape 

The mountains stood like guardians of the desert floor 
Their jagged rocks did not sway as the earth shifted...

Getting Back On Track

You can’t be tying a string around your finger
Every time you have to remember
Why it is you went into the kitchen,
Or what it was you came into the garage for anyway.

You stand...

Glimpse
By Kevin Robey
December 2, 2013

I'll steal a moment, right out of thin air
To break it apart untill walls realign
A moment I'll will stretch untill it tears
Shine forever where paths intertwine

Outdated history the last thing I’ll...
