Long Run like the wind Poems

The Judas Scroll

Sometimes the night is laden with
guilt. The nails curse me. The
mob applauds like children
scrambling for the safety of

their lies. Your eyes curse me,
follow me to hell, hold you to
a lie that never lets...

Twenty-six letters in the alphabet:
Vowels and consonants be soldiers to defend my message

I'm like a twenty-five cent coin rolling on a parking lot;
destined for the machine or the storm drain?

Twenty-fours in a day, but all...

AWAKE  ~ IN and OUT ~

Spring arising, before morning light,
I walk under the new epic sun
The aroma of yesterday, gone
Today's the day that will follow tomorrow
I quickly walk a certain walk
Unique is all I...

I was given passion.
I was given eyes that fall in love.
All of them betrayed me
and whisper that I’m not enough.

I tried to breathe, stubborn and be,
but all they could ever see,
is someone who’s not worthy...

Did You Ever.............?

Did you ever stop to think,then the signals change?
Something in your heart,you're feeling kind of strange.
You run like the wind,to escape from the cage.
History just stops,as you go to turn the page.
Life becomes...

There’s emptiness this night;
Good-byes are everywhere.
Life is such a hard thing;
Sometimes it’s too hard for me.
    Those with initials preceding their name;
    They might conclude I suffer.

How many friendly faces do I see in my chambers of recollection as I call up retrospect,
Cherished scenes rush to mind as its pinions bear me to the times which won't ever return,
Scenes now changed...

Big Boy Shoes

by Edmund Siejka

She was in the living room
Evening shadows slowly inching forward
When I came home
The look on her face said something had happened.
Reluctant to say anything at first
Words suddenly came out 
From her...

Ahpla and pack more than capable

A dreary journey thus far

Everything in this world has turned upside down 

Wherever I look all I see is sadness 
I can't think of any reason to exhibit such cheer 
Lord only knows...

We bound down the stairs, out into the light-of-day, and into the blue of the
misty breezes, heavily laden with the smell of wild sea salt roses that grow in 
perfusion along the winding road, that...

Small Towns Revisited


by Edmund Siejka


We Long Islanders
Live near a large City
Of
Tall buildings 
High end stores
Apartments with gated windows
A place where people live like strangers.

Here, where we live 
The land slopes downward
Towards Merrick Road
Inviting us for...

I once knew a boy who could imagine 
great things. He could run up a mountain, 
swim the depths of the sea. He could fly 
a jet fighter then come home for tea. 

As life...

The Cage… 

The Cage… 
I am caged in a body, shackled with my pain.
One of these days, I’ll break this rusty old chain.
I will be so happy, flying in a breeze,
In the realm of light,...

A childs laughter is a precious sound, 
To watch them smile as they play around, 
Filled with gleeful giggles that resound, 
It will fill the blackest of hearts with joyful glee, 
As they run in...

I climbed a stairway high into the sky, 
blowing a kiss, I had no tears to cry.
In a moment, all I knew left behind.
On this quest, I felt blessed. Joy I would find.
With a gentle...

Where I live 
The land slopes downward
Towards Merrick Road
Inviting me for a walk.

Stopping at a corner
I hear my name
Turning around 
I say hello
To a neighbor
We exchange pleasantries
No need to say anymore
And I continue on my...

I LAUGH AT YOU LIFE!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…..life!

What do you think you are doing?
How shall it all come to end…?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha……!

Such an intriguing event;
What a spectacle of fate –
O, my heart beats catharsis!

Oooh no, come to think of it,

We
bound
down the stairs
and into the light of day

Into the blue
of the misty breezes
where the scent
of sea salt roses lay
and grow in perfusion
along the winding road
that lifts and dips
to the other side
of the Funday Bay
to cross...

Love
A sting of devotion
It's wild emotion and smiles
It's being so caught up in the moment
Wind lifts up caution, your guard down for miles
You can't sleep, you can't eat, you can't stop to concentrate
You're constantly lost...

In the daytime sky,
singing birds fly and flutter their wings,
as their feathers shimmer in the shining sunlight.
The leaves of the treetops that grow from the branches,
reach for the warmth of the bright sun rays.
Flowers with...

My Heart Is No Longer Mine
By Rick Rucker 

I used to think my Heart was mine,
I used to hide it away, like fine wine,

Bring it out, to show a friend,
To no particular end,

I left the...
