Long Refuges Poems

Beware, out-Lander for thy tread on the sacred ground,
Of Louisiana, guarded by the ghosts of the Mississippi,
And here the dead tell know tails, of the living's returning,
After adventuring into the darkness of the night.
Rattle them...

Think of the first world war
think of young Princip
his mud floor house 
with stones for walls

Poverty and shame
it was hard to make an existence
it was hard to make a life
the food that they were growing

What am I, a product of a mad man's obsession to play God?
A cross breed’s creature between medicine and science?
For the whole of my parts taken from convicts, and social rejects,
Sown together by skillful hands...

You've stumbled off the righteous path, into the hushed
Wilderness of the unknown, beware for salvation's sake,
Go back nomad; travel not these paths of no return.
But nay this is the domain of the shades, little is
The...

(for America’s original true Veterans)

Government of Kings
where shall you bide?
Now that the
Great Horned Serpent
has appeared while
Thunderbirds screech
and lament in
desolate skies?

Oh great people of
Our Grandmother!
Amass your island
conjure the Turtle
retreat upon the seas
of your origination.

Oh Yakwawi!
Hairless Bear...

Opening a new 2019 calendar,
January unveils an Arctic Wildlife Refuge view 
of glaciered mountains
behind a frozen river
surrounded by bedrocks
grey and bleak black
and rusty brown.

The Wilderness Society caption
claims this as our "treasured landscape
that the indigenous Gwich'in...

In the desolate temple of the soul, flesh weaves over bone a silent epitaph,
Spirits lock thought within the ark of thought, and sometimes, a divine spark,
And women in furies pour vessels into fragments of petrified...

Look at the bible
it was written as a rock thrown to the future
in case history repeated itself
and there was yet another religious war

here it is
in our presence
bullets and bombs
and enemies who have no reason to...

Starless night, a fire ahead
upon a wind sheltered hill.
Drizzling rain and steamy breath,
I feel the yearning for you.

Lighted by the flickering shine
you seem to be nameless to me.
But your words, your versant vein
recall the charm...

Ignorant Madness

I thought initially and first my worst fear is fear of fear
that is too global though and I hold dear the fear quite near

Writing soldier

I am a writing soldier
My weapon is my pen
Write about the battles
Of a war that never end

I am a writing solder
My voice is my pens
Made a lot of enemies
And I lost some friends

But I’m...

Everything was easy and the good guy was me
Chasing bad guys through the cobbled streets of Galilee
The wine was sweet joy, the mad loving intense
Lead bullets were flying, lives lost makes no sense
I’m a man...

Pouring out the golden glow
the full moon of Vesak,
trying to melt in the blooming sky...
Given the courtesy of trees & breeze
Even the birds show their clarity
Reminds the glory of a legendary day

We the people of ‘Poetry Soup’ land,
Stand united, supportive yet very sad,
For we stand for peace love and no hate,
And cannot withstand,
Or understand,
We ask,
Why innocent people have to suffer and die.

God in heaven will one...

Remember
how many dawns
did we have?
how many mornings
did they belong to us?
how many afternoons
we carried to the meeting
of the nights...!?
remember
how many nights
did we do days?
were moments
only our... our
refuges outside this world...
Moments that belonged to us...
Moments when...

The Arab Spring 

Saddam Husain, Mubarak and soon Assad
will go… and we can be jubilant and call it
democracy and freedom. 
But this does not include the Christians,
In Iraq there are hardly any left, in Egypt...

I always thought I could change
The line in my course's reach,
But whispers still floating on nights
Doom.
I've learned how to recognise
The limits
And to keep my lips sealed
With stamps cerous,
When Silence wishes to comfront
The echo of my...

WINDBREAK    TREES


Unchecked prairie wind cold   
Engulfs  our  archipelago 
Of  barns and farms,
  
Small snuggled refuges 
Swathed  in  birch, oak and ash,
Warm  yellows ...
