Long Salivates Poems

I returned to God,
No fear in my heart,
But comfortable communication,
And trusting affection.


Heart bleeding for my losses,
I had missed His presence greatly.
He spoke easily and lovingly,
As I lay in the grass with a
Nearby grazing lion, running
My...

For destiny lies below....

At the core exists his emptiness
Spineless unrest smothers him
All due to nature’s wavering obscurity
And stumped awareness of inherent security

Fear took charge and penetrated his inner skin
Seeped into his veins 
Then settled in marrow
And so his...

All of you are invited, whether naughty or nice

She walks like a bird that had just learned how to fly, 
Ignorant of...

November and December, his favorite time of year;
those other months, stuck lonely by himself.
The darkness, isolation, just amplified his fear;
oh, how he longed to be upon the shelf!

The glorious night prowling amidst the children’s toys...

Earth left shattered, broken ground
Call of duty raised the dead
Screams are felt, no need for sound
Blazing orange spotted red
Douse the fires with blood shed
Pillaged homes and raided farms
Burning bush may well have said
All men rise...

Along a summer road of eternal dust
that flies in the face of poverty and disdain
red and hardened faces with hands
as brown as the shine on shoes that
at one time reflected in their youthful faces
oily overalls...

Sit Transit Gloria Mundi
Rick Folker

Our current consumptive culture
Salivates over
"Tech" and "Cell" and "Screen"
That transmits the lurid, pornographic
Apocalyptic scenes.

We long for the end
Of the endless 24/7 hollow info
Hoping, even praying that 
The Moral Arc would start...

New Yam 

Death brings life
New, tender and green
Earth brown, immaculate white 

The priest heralds her coming
The town crier drums it
The farmer dances to the market
It's time to celebrate

Let loose the masquerades
Celestial visitors from yonder
Let the...

I see the universe within,
Crashing tides,
Midnight skies,
A BBQ on the forth of July,
My mouth salivates,
The smell of flesh on a grill,
A cold corona and a buzz,
I love key west.
Complexity so easy,
Simplicity, 
Pure genius,
A universe always...

jalapeno peppers
parading their truth proudly
making the fried tortilla laugh

oranges and the brightest azure blues
the sizzle of a skillet
my mouth salivates

strumming of a banjo
bluegrass music and cotton candy
my food hot against its cardboard sleeve

glitzy pink neon...

I appreciate
That these two can be served separate
Or mixed together to create
A drink that is first rate.
Who isn't passionate
About coffee and chocolate?
My brain starts to pulsate
As the coffee percolates
It detonates
A heavenly aroma that I anticipate
And...

THE BROKENNESS OF CHRIST

evil salivates
at the brokenness of Christ
unzipping of flesh

a lowly mock crown
the nettles dig in and sting
blood like tears forgive

holes punched into palms
surreal Roman nails impale
perpetuity

worn down and lifeless
his body lowered to ground

On a clearing morning I awaken,
yesterday’s ruckus subsiding;
corporal tensions having
been slept away, a dove softly
cooing on my window sill
in the flower box having made
a nest – room for both buds and
nurturing…

the cat at bay, the...
