Long Sardonically Poems

LIFE IN ETERNITY*


1.

The cheerful trumpet of miraculous life, imperatively sounded in 
My mother’s life-giving womb,
Heralding with its melodic tune another animation: MINE!
And as my innocent infantile heart was provoked by
The challenging divine call, 
Started beating...

CHOREOGRAPHY of LIFE and DEATH
(Three times I have crossed swords with death up to now!)


The cheerful trumpet of 
Miraculous life,
Imperatively sounded in 
My mother’s life-giving womb,
Heralding with its melodic tune 
Another animation:
MINE!
And as now my...

We went to the concert, my cousin and
I

While we tried to find parking, a man in a yellow beetle hit an Acura, thought that no one was 
looking and quickly looked for another space. My...

Beneath the River Somnium,
Abandoned Wishes hymn: quiet in the viaduct:

Reverse the Lodestone;
Reverse the First Sin;
Reverse the Autumn Hearse;
Reverse the Universe.

We are the murk men, intangible ends—inebriated together
With Beelzebub our friend. Absolvent now in burning skin,...

Squalidness—Squabbling squeamishly;
Scrutinizing stigmatized scandalization, substantially scarce
Sprightliness...skeptically surrendering
Shamefully—Scolded sardonically;
Snarling splenetically, severing sensibility, scowlingly simmering
Strenuously...sought survival
Sparring—Sinister sisters;
Seductively swiveling soreness, sarcastically snared, swirling
Storms...sporadically striking
Slowly—Sacrificing stories;
Scorching slanderous subversiveness, suffering suffocation
Senselessly...smoldering serendipity
Sinfully—Silent stranger;
Sneaking skillfully staring
Presumptuously—Pursuing pretentiousness;
Promises protruding pithiness,
Potential problems...penetrating
Frantically—Forsaken fantasizes...

T'was the night before Christmas,
Satan feelin' kind'a blue,
Cooked up a devilish plot...
To repay me and you...
For all this religious fervor,
And holiday joy....
Annoyed him like hell,
He would take every toy!
Inspired by the Grinch,
I'd guess...
He'd make this...

The Queen's henchmen penetrate professionally the porous perimeter,
as a Phyrric victory I pacified your Lady's legion,
for both in the open,like charriots missing riders,decentralized command,the measure,
I, like you maneuver behind the superior shelter of  Praetorian's...

The White Charger
White is the steed that gallops, sparks fly from his mane 
The rider reaches out to my heart, passion burning as a flame
Entwined in hope, flames burn high, passion ever ascending 
The white...

"Destination: New Covenant" 

When we arrived
at our destination,
the place they called
"New Covenant",
we were assigned 
fresh armour.

we thought the war 
left long and far behind us;

of course, 

our ranks had changed,
but our allegiance 
for saving contracts
in...

The mist rises inches above the water 
An angel of silence holds back her tears.
Cypress knees jerk
And the egret slides silently through the mist
The swamp is a sacred place. 
Inches of water hold a danger...

An endangered species, living on a ledge,
100 seconds to Midnight, then over the edge,
Nearest to Doomsday, humans have ever been,
Vaporised! inside mushrooms of boiling hot steam.

Casually go about our business, without a care,
While the Sword...

An angel proacting as a contradiction to Spawn,
Hatches plans to murder the Spawn and bring in a new dawn;
The hatred turned into a romance, ironically, 
Killed, many a hellspawn, so very sardonically...!

Did Angela able to...

-Collaboration with Justin Connor-

I should be joyous and glad
I should be drinking and celebrating,
But the images of the battle still play in my head
There is a part of me that is proud,
And another part of...

A terrible crime has happened...
  a young girl is brutally murdered,
  her father is near destroyed,
  torn to ribbons, 
  he is in a great darkness,
  swimming deeper into malice,

I am a true contemporary
who knows how to acceptably 

write a poem.  First with a tangible
aroma of burnt toast, I will run on

my imaginary couplets like a stroke
victim of the modern prejudices.

Jamie decides today will be the day 
we take off to Kansas. 
We've both dreamt of it, 
driving off to flat lands 
where we would be swept off, 
cackling, 
on our brooms to Oz.

at times the moon shines so brightly I can barely stand to look at it
surreptitiously glaring down at me with those eyes
those eyes that leave me abstractedly ruminating over whether 
or not
or whatever the case...

They’re closing the downtown 
Legion soon, taxes are too high, 
what with gentrification and 
only a few of the regulars are vets. 
The younger associates, whose
parents or grandparents served, 
can drive to the new place...

Early Morning Sonnet 
Woke up at four, no moon or stars, stygian the night.
I switched on the tablet to read the papers, but
the light disturbed my wife who objected, I switched 
it off. Then I...

The last minute
The one we wait for our entire lives
That appointment with destiny
We all deny exists
But it's always there 
Gnawing at the back of your brain
Each passing moment 
You are a little closer to the...

She mourns the lost of her happiness. 
She regrets the day her eyes saw him.
Staying all her days in tears and pain.
She dances to the sound of her heart beats.

Sedately does her heartbeat and cry...

Silly sister Sally Sue
Said she saw a smiley seal
Said it stole her sugary sap
Said I to she sarcastically
Certainly; sure a seal stole your sugary sap

Said she to me sardonically

Evening is settling in.
I empty my basket at the counter.

A pint of vodka
(the kind that comes in plastic bottles),
a bottle of ’Tums’ antacids.
A box of frozen French Bread Pizza.
A jar of jalapeno peppers.

A world-weary Latino...
