Long Romps Poems

Speak thee softly, of my countrymen.
Who gave their lives, their blood.
To launch this very great and noble land.
Neither you nor I, could do that task!
America is under siege from within.

Ah, indeed, most vociferously from
without.
I do...

cause i used you
and your new girl

Rain ©  

I walk on slick shine streets 
in the night with my lover. 

Freshly out of bed and ravenous 
for other food, he pauses and 
licks the tears and rain drops 
from my...

(Dedication: For Demetrios Trifiatis)


Troy and sure war, Trojans and Greeks;
Report mad flaws -- rouse warriors' peak;
On for ten years, on both sides dwell;
Yes tear for tear, yes death did well!


Urge firms glory, urge frames action;
Love...

Dark angels dance overhead
Storm clouds swirl within my head
Smiles are the veils of hidden thoughts
Tormented souls question not what is not

Ile St Louis, a swamp of nighttime beasts
Where soon poets shall roam
All that changed, the...

It's late, and my eyes fall;
the day brought lots to think about.
But what I think about most of all
is one that's tiny, and stout.

Sweet little guy with those big blue eyes,
and that big shining smile.
Ones...

I walked into the castle
Up on the hills and in the glens
There she was dressed in white satin
She was wide eyed and smiling
The princess of sleep, mist of the morning 
A fantasy to keep


She was...

As I wake up to the dawn of another day
I wrestle with myself and ask why bother
Just another day, without any warmth
There is a chill in my heart, sadly this is true

The coffee pot sings,...

I lingered at loves' door
Lips waiting for a kiss or two
A brush of passion 
A whisp of warmth
As many lovers do
The first was quite dull
Fumbly digits all like thumbs
And when it came to kissing
A mouth...

I do foolish things
when I’m blue
when I’m sad
and missing you
I do foolish things

like dancing all night
foolish things
drinking everything in sight
foolish things
shopping til I drop
foolish things
somehow I cannot stop

doing foolish things
when I’m blue
when I’m sad
and missing...

...This rankled Ethan, deep down in his core,
his drummer just quit, but Ethan wanted more,
he pressed on touring, writing out new songs,
from catchy romps to grand epics, long.
Their next single climbed to thirty-three,
then the one...

The weight on my shoulders and burdens I carry
Are straight from the mouths of Tom Dick and Harry
The end of their day, their highlight in life
is a swift, cheeky pint before home to their wife
But...

Queueing for busses
Even though not going far
Been queueing for busses
Ever since I sold the car.
I still can’t believe
What a bus passenger hears.
What have i been missing
For all of those years?
 
I sit there quietly
Occupying my...

It's in fashion here, in the United States, to hate.
It's so depressing, what a weight!

As if hate were a trophy or prize?
We hate, long before we think or analyze.

People who don't think just like us?
We...

Our love continued to grow as the warm gaze of summer came forth, shinning light on the skeletons we’d became, bodies ravaged from the merciless vulture that was and is the winter.  No rays...

Last Night

Look up there.
Do you see the seven sisters?
The night is unusually warm.
I hear speeding cars going down Broadway.
The freight train is screeching across Canobie.
Purple-blooming jacarandas cry petals of rejection.
You sat on the curb and...

I yearn for shades of Autumn and all that it could bring 
the chromis strews of redding bricks the chilly burrr 
Blushing apples high as kites tied to apron strings   
and acorns full...

With shining eyes, the prettiest
advances leading all the rest.
She skips with glee beneath blue skies,
the prettiest with shining eyes.

The second, with a warming smile,
comes dressed in lace, and all the while
she lithely romps beneath the...

Which pair of shorts to wear today
  What color T-shirt best romps around and plays
Should I sleep in 'til eight, eight-thirty, or nine
  How about 9:30, Central Daylight Time...

Hmm.  It's ten already....

Late night party
Board games and booze;
Happy laughter romps

~~~~~~~~~


Whiskey aged
Booze on the rocks;
Mellow fragrance

~~~~~~~~~


Blessings loiter
Smiles on faces;
Party mood

~~~~~~~~~


Purple sweet potato
Warm soupy dessert;
Zest greets fresh

~~~~~~~~~


Evening drizzle
Hazy darkness swirls;
Raindrop orchestra

~~~~~~~~~


Scary movie
Late night interlude;
Impromptu shocks

~~~~~~~~~


Once again
Slumber's limbo sensations;
Sleep talking...

The duet of a garden's music in June,
afloat with all the season's notes can bring...
The milder one is where chant of orioles 
join honeyed air's refrain 
as dragonflies flip a spin  to answer
the humming...

The sinner's debt has Jesus paid,
And saved the world from Satan's raid.
"Death, death," rang from hell;
And thus did sin's death knell.

In anger, He left the throne;
Stormed the earth with victory tone.
He dealt with sin once...

For there abide beef, pork and chicken
and the greatest of these is bacon
hot sizzling crispy to the tongue
satiating succulently scrumptious bacon.

For bacon curries no favor
plays the field tempts the stoic and saintly
slides into gustatorial beds
