Long Reinvigorated Poems

Abounding in gratitude 
my heart bursts out delightful praises
worshipfully testifying ---
 “God has blessed me this 2021.” 

January’s thanksgiving glow 
greeted me with peace and hope
to surmount quarantine hurdles, propping my zest---
declaring “Thus saith the...

the rhino & cougar conundrum 

fair enough to say that when
s/he got into it, when she dove 
head-first into the pool of passion with
both eyes closed & arms outstretched,
that there was an inherent excitement
to be...

Paths of my destiny are filled with thorns and thistles

Not only where I walk but where I lay my head to rest.

Rest is my God given ability, the way my body is capable of deciphering...

Without a warning from it nor a whine from me, I was first captured. In that
same moment I was arrested. I then embraced the moment, or was it I who was embraced? I shall never...

Box of Light

A little box, within the Light,
A part of dream, a shining bright,
Revealed to me, a great insight,
Health and well being,
Delight,
Produced by the all-seeing one,
interstellar flight, yet is done,
to build the strength of only...

what we’ve got here

is much more than a failure to communicate---

for what has been happening for years is only

intensifying---

our behavior as a society is not one in which we even attempt to rehabilitate,

medicate or give...

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...

Amplifying vehemence of thunder, roaring on skyline ablaze,
Lightning strikes, shattering clouds, sparkling scorching haze,
Blasting dry, sunstruck meadows, drenching thirsty terrain,
Gushing streams, rushing thrust ferocious of turbulent rain.

In realms of dimming yonder, trees whirl, shake, and...

Essence melancholic bemoans, echoing soul’s doleful cry
When clamors of unrequited love, earnestly amplify,
Bruised yearnings of deep desires, as lovelorn heart sighs,
For the longings of shattered passions, tearing her eyes.

Deep feelings of emptiness, no longer can...

At the ascension of the crystal
Stair of humanity, I embrace the totality of each step, each more carefully  navigated. The creaking of uncertainty and discord from previous steps flashes before my thoughts, as each...

{"I convicted myself into a death sentence when it came to dote on, bear the witnesses because they saw me alleviate the tears nobody had reconciled or dared to wipe away; they simply did not....

While sitting back and listening
to my confreres in their conversation
a glass of wine – red and quite strong
with Tuscany’s best Brunello as a brand,
gives that taste so good; a fodder.


  Its spirit makes me...

the fins
of human
quake tremendously
spills grotesqueness while dumping
the ox cosmos in the middle of smoothly
mirrored
ocean Walls

where ones choice is fixed
at dawn stagnantly brimming
in obsolete enviable damp colours
woven in a volcanic
oasis of anguished circles embraced in
loneliness fronted
with...

Middle aged man in Docs, 
vintage leather jacket and
grey haired pubes around his cock.
Ill fitting tour shirts rekindling a hazy past.
Barrowlands, The Bunnymen. Hammersmith Odeon,The Clash.
U2 at University pre Bono crawling up his own arse.
Danced...

She's losing count of the times she's cursed
Inconsolably cast my destitute self in hell
She's forgotten the periodical instances she's dumbly paused
Sentient to her reinvigorated hatred
Entwined in inexplicable feelings of attachment
In a layering gone wrong
Probably for...

Loitering
  isn't idyllic imaginations
 facilitating fastidious, fertile fellowship flings
 evolving evidentiary elusive elucidations
 safely securing surreal sterile  sways.

 Mysteries mismanaging mundane miracles
 yield yes, you, your youthful yesterdays 
 slip, stir, select sagacious...

I'm walking with my mind turning over
Changing calibrations, resetting composure
Spoke to the wind, it guided the way
Step by step lead out of this day
Set scene for tomorrow where I will arrive
Reinvigorated, rebirthed, my zest alive
Maybe...

REBIRTH
glories
of
a cultural flowering
a revival
  once barren
in a
traumatic fragmented
                schism
 a comeback
an
elaborate
   creative perspective
on crossed
    horizons

this discovery
  &mastery reinvigorated
immediate
  in maturity
with small measure
yet simultaneous
possibilities
     of patronage arise
extravagantly
grandiose & complex
 to proclaim & emphasise

 a lifestyle
well made
in symbols
   anecdotes
on a small scale
genre scenes
    a relative calm
of elegance
simple
   satisfying
     longings

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two...

Dark thunderclouds hover uneasily 
over the red mesas and arroyos. 
I can feel the tingling sensation of
charged air, an unnatural quiet
as the thick, humid air seems to
catch its breath, anticipating. 

Suddenly the landscape is overwhelmed

In the grand scheme of balances, distances, experiences, instances, circumstances, I forgive you
Although previously I wish I knew
Your love could sometimes grow untrue
Prompting me approach and tactic to reconsider
To avoid making a serious blunder
That turns...

The full moon shone down
On them as the world spun round
And the magic of its light
Foretold on the dangers lined up against the right

It’s power reinvigorated the festering ones
As they were awakened with their evil...

Never be bewildered 
That my instincts submerged
In the malevolence and
Dearness of the world 
Could have been reinvigorated
By you, saved and renewed
Just like a resurging lep 
When the latter opts out 
I am created of giant...
