Long Seconded Poems

That which is neutral,
no big deal,
normal,
not noticed,
enjoys an intimate mirror effect,
behaves and misbehaves
with the logic of eternity.

Time steers virally clockwise,
eastern dawn toward west's setting sun,
birth through death,
with day's completion duskly hoping
for red skies at night.

As you chameleoned in this red restaurant
I passed by you nonchalant
You came near hoping I’d notice
Little you know, Already I have sensed you in abyss

We strolled over chaos and headlights
We talked over fermented duck eggs...

Where the arrow falls
A life is taken
Its flight was always destined to find
The rebel’s heart
The believers who shake this world
Extinguished by the powers of state

For the rule of law defines society
This history that made all...

A nine letter word 
That is very commercialise
A word which has the ability
To raise billions in a second.

Nine letters one word
To con, to manipulate
One seconded before you debate.

It is said that Christmas is Christ birth

A man from the Canadian Mounties 
Joined the Strathclyde police,
Seconded to tame the gangs
Of the inner Glasgow streets.

But on one sunny day
In Southern Lanarkshire,
A horse escaped from its stable
To bring some local fear.

So they called our...

"I present this because we all as I too included remain with our own individual

His heartbeat is at home, whom he cherishes as a cub
I am the spice and the escort for every night club
he claims with tears, his matrimony is morbid
my opposition has grown limbs to completely forbid

"Seconded Away"



The Primary input 
third person,you were I, 
you were seconded away
the interloper sashayed 
laughed victorious through lies
stole the gift given to you
from your mother line
a mother to a mother to a child
dead - born,...

The hush sound of the mountains 
Such an eloquence that thrills the mind. 
Beautiful landscape terrifies the drumstick;
Groits! 
D blizzard environment, a scene to flourish the hyenas 
D still waters, fogs sent!
Such blessing I dare...

Inside our parents’ bedroom by the door,
our sister Jenny played the old piano.
From all of us a melody would soar
in varying degrees of voice soprano.

A high soprano Jennifer would sing
as pretty Melanie would sing along.

I love the way it feels when you hold me,
I love the way you look into my eyes.
I love the way you make me feel needed,
I love the way you make me think there is...

I do not love you
I have said so
Reading my love letter
You misread it
You forget that I am So... you regret it

Ones meaning defined by anothers presence
seconded to an angelic beauty designed in heaven
Fighting to calm
Quench

My mind broadsided by my great-nephews imagination
I heard…

“When God made “Spongebob”, we weren’t here.”

Curiosity, the controlling force that it is made me ask,
“Where were we?”

5-year olds’ ideas are often in bold primary colors.
Another brain-broadside,
“We went...

Xenophobia 

Fear seethed in reluctance, 
Rinsed in the stream of laziness, 
Conception donating annoyance, 
Aggression and guts embroidered with thoughtlessness. 

Offspring set for war, 
Migrants to fall by his sword. 
Vice versa, the crescendo swings,...
