Long Removable Poems

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of  
one obsessive/compulsive disorder
nearly left me starving to death.

Anorexia nervosa absent bulimia 
nadir of onset 
diagnoses...

A miniscule minotaur is a mini mayhem by the way. In a catacomb place ones feet in a small bowl then look in the mirror and sing to the shaft of light beaming down from...

I (Samson wannabe) feel aghast at latest turn of events regarding Gaza

Omnipresent grief and horror
abounds toward ceaseless killing fields
impossible mission for me
to summon forth fading magic powers
since Delilah imposter hashtagged,
(and subsequently outed) 
as a mortal...

O' Please do not forget how to  pray
For all of your friends and your family
As well as anyone else you may
Recall existing in your family's tree

O' Please do not forget to pray for
The Peace...

In the black and white days of the 1950’s schools made youngsters learn and learn well or else,
Uniforms were as important with short trousers and knee length grey socks with elastic garters,
Garters would get so...

even angels are silent
in this lonely room
where i cannot sit
though chairs dangle
around me
so i perch
as lyrics run roughshod
through my head
and my face to the world
is right behind
my eyes
waiting to take its place
should anyone walk
through that...

EYE SHADOW
-----------------
WOW!!!! 
I love the color and how
It accentuates the tone of your skin
Truly, it brings out the brilliance
Beaming bright from your face
As I gradually gaze
I lose myself in a daze
Simply amazed at the light
Leaping...

American patriots to lead and end this tragedy before it fully breeds, you want to

Ah, twas only by a fluke conversation,
whence a speech pathologist
informed my parents about
the Lancaster Cleft Palate clinic,
where oral an examination
revealed minor birth defect
identified as a submucous cleft palate,
which explained the severe pinched twang
somewhat mitigated by...

One in each bedroom. Where am I to sleep? 
Little listening devices, dot lime green light
Steadily gazing down at me all night
Surveillance recording my data to keep


Smoke alarms linking conspiracy 
Three roomed spies, tracking my...

THE GOOD OLD DAYS – JOURNAL XVI

Looking back from this point
I’d have to make a division
Between adults and children
For adults the many tasks were more

The thirties were the ultra-sparse of times –
Men out seeking work,...

Everything is normal
so not much to sing or say. 
No summer thunderstorm,
the snow was magical only for an hour.

Old men
aren’t removing women’s panties with removable dentures.
A belly laugh now and then,
an empty belly’s holy.

With simple...

words,
like wind,
sweep away thoughts,
of dark cyclones twisting,
truth, friction, half-lies and neither,
informing or deceit, inane and blowing,
mouths moving on removable friends,
smiles on plastic faces,
syrup or pap,
save us!
no,
not now,
maybe not ever,
this bed we made,
then wish not to...

I got this glittery, ruby-red, smudge-proof lipstick the other day 
and I really have to say technology is what separates us from the apes.

Well, technology and hair.. and.. - ok, let’s not dwell on the...

Believe me divine beauty
I'll fulfill to you my duty
I swear to you i'll love you
Hold, laugh, play, cry, and smile with you

You want to change your looks
Wishing you had different colored eyes
But to me you're...

Hearts broken, bleeding unkindly deeds
Gothic flighty missions behind enemies  
Sand storms ragging beneath sandcastles’
In the sand, star lighted passage rumors a merge
Impossible measures undisclosed 
Ventures, seductions lustful curses

Empowered trustees guided missiles
Heavens educed powers, misplaced...

What is love?

It isn't something you make,
Nor is it something you take.

Is it an expression,
Or another word for obsession?
Maybe a feeling of progression,
Or removal of depression?

What is love?

Something we cannot define,
Something in our hearts that...

I wonder what it would be like
to have a removable headstone,
to have my own portable waymark
for this ever passing world.

Stuck in heavy triadic
the road slithers slowly forward
on my wet surface.
I am the traffic I move...
