Long Resurfacing Poems

Date:  September  2049
 
Early morning pleasant weather 
Time. Holly woke thinking she would 
Visit her mother today. She felt ill
Lately she's been feeling this 
Uneasiness. She couldn't, she didn't 
Want to think about...

My most troubling client
told me he died last night.

While this did not appear to be his somber case,
nor, sadly,
did my home office silently resound
like this was his actual historical peace,
I did conjure up sufficient energy
to...

I'm an enlightened 
equinox, strolling in
faded universe, 
dreaming poetry in
susurrus serenades 
of rustling 
ruby-leaves which
whisper cool 
beamish hues
to my autumnal-
quartz heart, 
when the nucleus 
of unborn flowers, 
wishes for a 
meditative 
musing amidst 
this mocha...

Alot of you folks have been able to say what you feel this holyday season with exquisite 
wording and beautiful sentiments. I can't do that. Maybe if I tell you a story about a 
little...

I wave vaguely toward a boat in the distance, but
can't think of what I would say if they invited me on board.
"That seems excessive kindness," I say, but a voice laughs in my head,
"Yeah, but...

“I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.”
Chuck Palahniuk


Is there such a metaphor as an avalanche of time?

Each second can be cold, but never...

Willingly, I ran
That was the first sign my life was falling apart
Strange bike that brought me back in one piece, damn you
That hope of abduction never came to fruition 
I am complacent in the wake...

I know I'm slightly losing it and Jill sees that now too,
So all we can but hope for is to Bluster and to Woo.
What If I sometimes falter with names or something more,
Only Fox is...

It's a curiosity to me
how we are so alike,
yet, so different in this manner.
I could never survive in your union,
my soul craves a more intimate bond.

You want things to change, and
need a starting point.
The definition...

Involved with illumination in my imagination
Feeling the urge of sudden frustration and agitation
My spirit, with wit, is legit and yes, I admit
I’m a believer and a giver
But, I’m not your chopped liver
So, don’t butcher me...

If only I could have understood,
The game we were destined to play,
Could have been privy to the dance steps,
Prior to the music beginning.

How helpful it would have been,
Prior to combining the ingredients:
You.  Me. ...

I walk into an old brick building on a campus.
It seems so familiar. . . as if I should know it,
and yet my memory is blurred.
Climbing steps, I’m sure of where I need to go.

The one that got away will forever remain a mystery.
And any thing said about it will forever remain a theory.
We met at a very young age, perhaps the age when love
Was considered 'puppy love'. We...

the stink of the swamp slaps you in the face in the same exact spot
never disappointing, memorizing the land mark where you began to hold your breath
after years you become accustomed, how will you know...

The Shadow of the Sun
Empty conversations full of 
words with no point…
Happy statements that hide 
what is real…
Long talks that betray nothing 
of the past…
Days on end of words 
exchanged…but no insight to 
the truth...
Years...

Looking back I wonder how we got here
I remember life when
we couldn't get right
every other day was a struggle
communication between
us would crumble
but somehow here we are

It was bad, but we both knew
that it should've been
better...

Uterine contractions growing stronger,
Cramps and aches getting referred to her lower limbs,
Quivering voice occasionally letting out screams,
Rivers of tears flowing down her pale cheeks.
Sweat droplets studded on her skin,
Every sound reaching her eardrums growing weak,
She...

Dolphins

Watch the aquatic mammals reigning warm waters
Riding ocean waves zestfully flexing playful behavior
Jumping high in air performing acrobatic maneuvers
Synchronizing movements impressing fond watchers.

Be dazzled by their graceful moves peeking up for air
Turning around buoyantly raising...

Today's unvaccinated experience 
within
and upon natural spiritual Earth
is yesterday's clearly
most purely
manifest destiny.

On the other hand,
what tomorrow's post-pandemic destiny
will most healthy manifest
cannot be rooted
in other than silent gratitude
for currently positive deviant,
healthy ecological,
economically co-invested 
multiculturing democratic 
socio-economic...

Self-Realization for Preservation

At 3 and a half I met mom number two
Only after mom number one just wouldn’t do
Nine years have passed, and I survived the abuse
Mom number one took too long to get stable...

The noises & madness inside my sick brain
Every day gets more & more insane
The overanalytics of mundane life on the daily
Of course I'd rather dream of you - blame me?
Wondering & wanna catch up on...

You're uniquely sexy
The curves you
wear weighs on my mind 
light  headed, 
breathing suspended 
fixated on measuring 
your exhales,
I want to direct you
for a spell.
Oscar nominated 
"I'd like to thank"
in the midst of our
performing it.
Slivers of your
ubiquitous exclamations 
keep resurfacing 
as if His Holiness 
was...

It's that time before Winter and all through the yard
run pathways of petals all beautifully charred.
An assortment of heartwarming hues can be seen:
deep reds and bright yellows and shades in between.
How my innocent heart beats...

Could you love
an old white redneck
with HIV,
inhaling too much medicine?

Could you love him
if he were able to listen
without judging,
but commiserating,
curious about nuances,
finding dark humor
transcending rumors
of ego’s timorous tumors
and climatic anthrocentric tremblers?

Could you love a sad...

The flames of passion cannot be quelled
Even though they were watered in a
World called cruel.
Searching for the word called fame
I seek out your name 
In the pages of a book called flame,
Attraction, magnetism, together floss
