Long Screaming(a) Poems

“Liber Novus”


Life is read
it bleeds continually
we simply need to stop
and breathe forgive

ourselves for tripping
over misspent thought
too caught up and enraptured 
in the chapters we imagine

we always dream
best beginnings
and tidy arduous ends
unicorns in black matter

Life is...

Before my fallen wings I plead
Let me carry out this deed
Find a love in desperate need
Of a white knight on a steed

I already have a girl in mind
Are souls have met forever bind
Lost in chaos,...

Eyes have gone cold
making a statement bold.
'Dont get near me.
not if you want to continue to see.'

Skin turned rough
she appears tough.
while melting inside
No matter. the pain will hide

greiving the loss
agony clings like moss.
with no give...

Seeping through families of oaks,
Surrounded by pines, laurels and all…
Gentle leaves, so alive – yes, they breathe,
Silent like the peace I find here,
Enclosed in their embrace, 
Soft music of dove and robin, praising,
Ever praising with...

It can’t be art 

Spun in a windstorm of caustic insisting
Plastered like mud on the walls of Pompeii
Frescos of joy before charcoal was misting
Writing in ash, catastrophic display

Poetic spittle once cast to the broken
Scribbled in...

Yo... Man... Really? That word echoes, hangs heavy in the air/ You say "no," dismissive, a flippant affair/
 But the air vibrates with possibilities, unseized/ Two "yeses" shimmering, carelessly released/

 You could have been a...

The wind calls my name,
 Silent whispers of freedom to seek.
It takes me to a special place,
 And now i know there's more to life than what i see.
A place where the butterflies flutter,
 And...

Zillion supporters screaming, a loud buzz,
 Yearning to return home cheered by victory.
 Xerox machines preparing the next day’s papers; Max
 Wit for the shame or fame of a member of the show.
 Violent vitriol...

He awoke to the sounds of his alarm
Tedious sounds he heard bearing arms
Though gunshots blazing through his spine
The sounds of his are now yours and mine

His dead weighted arm hit the clock
The sounds disarmed for...

Where does the madness stop? When does the healing begin? 
conforming to flesh that was my own resemblance I'm making my amends. 
We all lie naked, only in truth can we blanket the scars,

He's never around when his wife
needs him and climbing the staircase
leading to the separate bedroom,
he falls and makes a boom; 
he didn't expect to get caught,
Susy wakes up screaming a lot.

Lover of wild women,
don't you...

The forgotten memory
Years ago I received a video from a place I had left I put it in a drawer
 where it languished for years, yesterday I played it an eerie a part of

From the infinity of the hidden windows the cuckoo cooing ushering the morning through the darkness

Feroz has just set fire to the oven, and his brief body cloth he stretches to cover his ears and...

the reasoning the fishing in the trenches
beyond tire swings and monkey wrenches 
follies crawl behind the hanging logos 
of unseen filth across 124th street 

tassels dangled above an oasis 
of fine dining and soiled linen...

A Poem of Sex


A poem of sex
But not in this text
I just used this title to see

If you would come
Looking for fun
And open this poem by me

You will not find
Words of that kind
No moaning passionate...

THE DECEITFUL SPIDER
In him toppling of his moment
But rather to heed, he clamps in harrowing lava
Buried in it a shackled advent  
Give your screaming a rest. Never!
Will it come, the white angel foil 
Whose...

Jumped by fighters
Hiding in the Sun
Firing Brownings and Hispanos
Young lad was on the run

But quick the fighters learned
Their surprise was for naught
Soon they were the hunted 
They were the caught

Young lad 
Whirled in a hurry
Face...

There is a garden where I wish to go,
Up on the ridge of Hunters Glen row.
Where peace and quite work as a team,
with various gramineae simple and green.
Up on the hilltop, where the green grass...

Jagged rocks that tip my balance,
Vein like roots that trip my feet,
Branching weeds that scratch my legs,
The chill of the wind that steals my heat,

The steepness of this endless mountain,
The wanting, longing to reach the...

Facing final darkness
Loudly screaming a challenge to Fate
Ancestral reunion or battle
Will I be early or late
Should I stay graspingly  haunted
Drifting on sea timeless space
Riding and dreaming undaunted
In mysterious uncommon place
Fearing and turning in darkness...
