Long Saner Poems

PROLOGUE:

For what's in a name,
That Shakespeare untamed,
A lyric gained fame,
But when it became,
A different ball game,
For one who's insane.

Yet if twin Yanks say 'Gogh' , 'tis equivalent
might meant, to be, like 'goes',
Dutch disagree, cite, annunciation,
could...

Decades of art, and some as oil paintings, 
whereat, had most work made in just the last two years.
Persuades the heart, of similar taste, seems,
fair that, Van Gogh's work may be the best than of...

I flip the history of Bojangles
On a cool Sunday evening
Los Angeles coming down
A flow of oboes breathing
Through the lung of the street
The hobo not stopping for air
Fingers moving in a dance
Across the strings of consciousness
Milking...

There've been times in my life
 where I've just had to say,
 "I must, give it all up,
 for, it's that kind of day"!
 
I must, really say this
 I really, just must;
 if I...

That night amidst cries, clamours, din, 
When coffin scandal headlines claimed, 
We shuddered— such was stench of sin, 
Those in snow felt ash grey, ashamed, 

In sullied caskets feeling ill, 
But lay still, stunned, shocked...

When I was a boy I’d hike through the woods
that were living out back of my neighborhood.
I’d go down to the stream and catch a trout
and marvel at nature that was all about.
When I got...

Terrified moments are frozen in time 
another Black Friday inks history 
as fear gripped innocence wrenching
it ripped it from their astonished eyes 

Then lights turned off on a Tower
normally filled with life and love, 
Mothers...

Dr. Seuss: “How did it get to be so late so soon?”

I sat down to write, 
but no thoughts would come.
Still thinking and thinking,
I said, “This is dumb!”

One look at the clock,
and what did I...

May tranquility reign and grace your Thanksgiving board this year,
As you thank the Good Lord for all the blessings you hold dear!

I pray that it will be a time of good cheer and not a...

I held you in my blood
Long before my womb was home
I endured the sentence of "barren"
Among blessed mothers...alone

When proof was in place
I rejoiced with those who jeered
Finally, when you arrived
I endured entitled cheers

As you grew...

Would you care to flirt with something volitile?
I know a fire that burns - hot and melting
In vivid undulating ripples of heat
That will steal the youth from your skin
And dry the tears hidden in your...

I'm awake
and I'm bored
been thinking…
Round in circles

How I can't shut 
Down the hill is a giant 
Lesson learned, but I
Do not think I'm ready

Awake and tired
Silly deep in thought
Less changes nothing
Of how tomorrow will be

Sleepy,...

Oh, I can dream of you and toss and toss in my bed
And snap your crazy feelings with dizzying eagerness
And pump my ventricles for you in crimson red
Leaving me in a state of thorough helplessness

An enigmatic and ludicrous wave.
Despite the seemingly endless love.

I am a soul weeping on the moon.
Place a step on the clouds strewn.

A mystery and a horrific dream
I am a random person on this beam.

Lonesome was lost behind the...

I wrote this song as a sort of self-therapy. I've only just started up writing again, so I'd really really love criticism, in as much detail as possible if you have it or feel like...

When...

Inside a bar in my town
I drown brown sorrows, swilling beer after beer
Feeling tall in my gaunt gown as I play the clown
Wishing I could wipe away her memory into a low gear 

Which in...

Oh Ann! Oh Ann! Poster girl of the radical Right!
Love to have you to myself one night!
We could nosh on bagles and cream cheese
As you dutifully serve me on your knees
As we listen to some...

I from that Saner, Kiest and SOC.
Where relations is deadly shots.
And your base is basic spots.
And you racially gone get marked.
I have to blast through game.
For something to change.
This life is insane.
Roll an ounce of...

Oooooooh bagels and bread by golly
Rumors and ramekins, fools folly
This attitude aggregious 
But a knick knack fecicious
Hold a tick, did you say napkins? 
Not for glass jars and captains
A twist off jammed and stuck in...

Now I don't have a decent job
Or expensive, flashy car
Somedays I don't brush my teeth
Or brush my beehive hair
Get my bra's from bargain bins
My coat's a hand-me-down
I try to act all grown up but
Let's face...

So much

Once I was so much bolder then I felt my heart break in two
Once I was so much colder then I realised I couldn’t make it through

Once I was so much clearer then colours...

We have scarce put our lips 
to a drink of sparkle,
through years of wishes that 
fizzed, only to fizzle.

No cork missile has exclaimed 
into our ceiling’s muted white,
trailing bottled-up yearnings
a triumph has given flight.

Rarely has...

It seems to happen frequently
At least in this millennium
All the freedoms we enjoy
We now must keep to minimum

They say we must can cel our plans
And figure out why tissue
Has disappeared from grocer's shelves
When toilets aren't...

Could I capture time?
Seasoned beyond my hands
While consciousness raved
Traumatized before graves
Till second breath was mine.

Twilight trumpet sound
Two were as gifts long lost
I perked from waking
Yet craved sober thinking
Grace and mercy were found.

Each dawn electric
Unconquerable fears
I...
