Long Sedoka Poems

My Beautiful Encounter

I’ll never forget the first time I met You.
It was at Mass on Christmas morning.
You were there and so was I.
I’d seen You at Mass before but we had never really met.
This time...

You unfold the mantles of paradise in my eyes,
As I, ambassador of beauty in curtsy arms, rise!

“I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination”

Lavish locks sprawl pillowed in peace this morn.
Gently whiskered cheeks hint of last night's lipstick
Tensions banished blue grassy fiddling lingers
Let's take it easy

I'll make the omelets

Vibrant life is Creator’s gift worthy to be enjoyed
Triumphant in vanquishing selfishness, arrogance, apathy
Radiant to exude peaceful bliss, marked by love midst care.

Heck, you asked for it
The base in a vortex locked
Crumbling with the torrid shock
Of maligned money
Bonding the world in duress
Spewing for policy cess

Who fooled you to vote
For shrivelling tax and more
Crime and crumbling of the...

Back in the fifties
America seemed much calmer
McCarthy's commie blacklists
Sputnik's shocking launch
Ike's wife Mamie so sedate
That pre-historic hairdo

World War Two over
We needed some time to heal
Alan Ginsburg penned his 'Howl'
Chuck Berry goosed his walk
The West Wing...

Winter’s silent soul
Kisses away the darkness
With trembling flakes, snow feathers
Cardinals whisper
Blessing the breathless prayers
From hearts who feel love’s inklings

Soundless as snowdrifts
On the edge of a shadow
Caressing the mountains, the stars
Imaginations 
Lift the spirits with lights,
Dazzling...

Lavish locks sprawl pillowed in peace this morn.

Oh? You'd rather play some...

Time held in his hand,
a shoebox cradled the past,
treasures saved for a grandson.
Granddad's pocketwatch
was tarnished with memories
in an attic of summers.
A family bond,
sun-drenched hours with his granddad
captured through a window pane.
The laughter of kids
was heard...

Eden pedestalled
On burnished clouds of dawn
Is dew melted famished leaves.
Diamond visions
In our bright dreaming glory,
Bolt castle doors flaming grief.

That heaven is gone
We were too far gods to know;
We wear pearls now, frozen tears
Of soft sufferings.
It's...

Laura Mackenzie,
Phillips was checking out while,
Doting fans were near, waiting

For her autograph,
She had a City Ledger
Account, the studio will

Pay, she only needs 
To sign it. Constant trouble
Made for the short attention 

Span, "Please sign here...",...

****************** 
I write of true love.
For you, you have been my life,
forty-eight years of friendship,
openness, true bliss.
With words, I have worshipped you!
No doubt in my mind, love you!

As each year went by,
our love grew strong,...

Old family recipes were written down in a book   
Cakes, cookies...

 Your scent still soothes me,
I can still recall your voice,
Reminiscing in day dreams,
Redemption moves me,
Absolution had no choice,
Connected by our heartstrings.

Flooding memories,
Rivers of pictures of you,
Retrieving lives you have changed,
Your sky, masterpiece,
You never sought...

Lady Bethevere strolls through the flowers; placed in the field…

Their hearts brought together; from the power of Heaven,
Strange as it may be; with the...

Word paint this uncanny illusion,
fluid in state of mass confusion

Product line of numb minded sheep,
in fear of difference, 
holding doubt in reverence.
Minds and feet now anchored deep,
having slid the slippery slope steep
unto worn road of...

He feared not his death,
because he came to know well,
Him who gave us all life’s breath.
He worked at his goal,
taking life’s problems in stride,
Humility was in him.

I remember him
smiling, laughing and patient,
as generous as could...

Again, this time comes.
I shall undress these freckles
and wear your youth in honor.
Long journey of life.
Seconds of sand in my glass
shall fall upon your small hands.

Young beautiful nurse.
My husband older than I;
paralyzed and mostly mute.
