Long Satisfyingly Poems

Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical, 
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.

He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

Norwegian bachelor farmer days I never lived

Woebegone and egg foo young on you
meaning me of course
sidestepping a crucial positive
electric kool aid battery acid test
prior to pledging troth,
and tying Gordian knot
to strangulation point,
never fending for myself,
nor...

People often say I talk a lot, but I hardly think that is true,
Like the whispers about the bluebird, of which he never knew.

Talking helps a lot with my job, which is in public relations,
As...

Ruminating on the events over two-thousand years ago:
the life, suffering, death, burial of Jesus, and the exciting,
dramatic, and supernatural arousal of Christ, incarnate -
from death to life, of the imputation - his sacrifice.

Jesus is the...

Oh, I have become
Satisfyingly numb 
Conceal the way you feel tonight
Oh, I have succumb
To a saturated crumb
Deal with the pain I feel damn right

I...have...become...undone,
A neglected, sad boy
Ease the dread frustration
Just give me some joy

Give me...

A happy healthy and wealth-integrated Right Brain
grows maturely silent as a calm winter night,
content to allow LeftBrain to ego-chatter away
debating further cooperative plans
for Earth's and RightBrain's and, 
most immediately and satisfyingly nutritious,
EgoSelf's better beloved belonging...

my cigarette carton smells like gum
like my mothers bag when i was young. 
the cicadas are hidden in the bushes 
as if surrounded by the dwell of freedom
which follow me throughout the country. 
i prefer...

the lilac lake lulls me
touches my hair and pats me gently
letting me doze into a comfort
reminiscent of a womb of irretrievable memory
i fall asleep

the moon, like hope
shining serene through darkness
mother nature's nightlight 
beckons me into...

You are far away from me, 
But don't worry you always belong to me. 
When we were kids we often played together, 
Now we are apart but suffering together. 

I remember, the first time we...

Love's Like Sugar Cane

Tender tendrils
of the same vine, 
we entwine
with hearts a fluttering, 
beating ecstatically as one, 
floating on wings
of iridescent butterflies, 
satisfyingly satiated by
love juices squeezed from an  
orange, bright summer day. 
Cherry...

My last poem will be a humdinger, will include
a hummingbird in a ruby throated cowl
sipping satisfyingly in Caren’s Krutsinger’s
faerie garden - we’ll be sipping tea or something

stronger. Our muses are quite old by then,
and surely...

The poems I never wrote are exquisite
Deep clear pools that reflect and reveal their readers
Nuanced and subtle, full of symbols and hidden meaning
Peeling back new layers upon each return

The poems I never wrote are bestsellers

Mum, The Financial Advisor

‘You are the tea leaves I am the teapot, I the tiny snowflake and you the snow’
Thus sets the stage of similarities and whatnot, lighting the mood for the afterglow,
The morning after,...

HASTILY HIDING WISELY WAITING
Flying fish are really gliding, gracefully so.
Frantically, from so many predatory piranhas.
Silkily, sliding into the most fearsome fray!
Hastily hiding, in very thick growing, sightly sedges.
Wisely waiting until the predators pass.
Satisfyingly safe, start to...

FRUSTRATED
Overly religious
Somewhat contagious
Satisfyingly together
Representing the Father

I tried and I tried
But they just kept on lying
I tried and  I tried
And I said to myself, what is it all for

 The beauty of it all
Is that...

Silken skies surround
Secure sailing sloop
Skimming Sargasso sea
Seeking salmon, sturgeon,
Shrimp, scallops;
Several savory species.
Suddenly stampeding storm
Surrounded, struck swiftly
Skies striking, slashing,
Savage surly seas.
Skipper sighted shoals,
Slammed, sending seamen
Swaying, scrambling, scurrying.
Swift southerly swells,
Sending struggling schooner
Smashed somewhere sandy shores.
Seamen survived swimming,
Suddenly...

Amidst the Barbaric heathen hordes
Mordacious majesty’s scrofulous swords
Corroding cathedrals in the morning mist
Rampageous residuals that we must resist

In the valleys of darkness, my soul savors still
For the bloodstained moon begins her spill
The ruffled red rains...

Memory Lane takes me back
to sunsets on the balcony.
Dogs by my side
and a cup of tea in my hand.
We would hear the distant thunder
I would hold my breath, waiting.
One dog would run scared,
and the other...

My eyes are but orbs of their former selves.
How am I seeing?
What do I smell?
Is it blood?
Dracula’s or my own?

He clutches me and ravishes me.
It is satisfyingly delicious.
A wolf howls.
Wait.
Is that me?

Oooooooh! Oooooooh!
I am shameless.
A...
