Long Self propelled Poems

Fall Of Berlin

There on the wall hangs a mixture of paint on linen,
Leaving the impression of a city besieged, encased in ice;
Purposely frozen in horror to remind the living,
Of blood oozing from the rubble into...

Inevitable death defines afterlife - deux

Flinty stones figuratively rolling inside
whooping out that primal 
binaural beat of your drum
ma mind haphazardly 
ricocheting axon to neuron
inducing inxs of chaos 
wreaking entropy beheld 
by beauty and the beast
enveloping...

Who is Sod and what’s this law
Sod’s law, what’s it for
Mend your car engine, drop your spanner
Can you reach it, no you canna
Perfectly aligned beneath the middle of the truck
Sod and his law, hard luck

Who...

Pending next droplet, drip mirror spherical

The measure of immensity
is a small step,
just a footfall
snagged by a tufted hole
in the space-time fabric.

The way you fall is the way
you get out of your bed
when the day is already too bright.
All things fall...

I endure the presence of caterpillars while it delegates in such power 
If I wish to become acquainted with the butterfly I'd treat it like a self propelled flower
Seeking life from barren ground
There's one that...

Sometimes I can literally feel the burn of silence. 
It’s somewhere within my bones, 
a blank slate made of heavy metal poisoning.
 Perhaps if I cut deep enough, I can retrieve it
 and find the...

Jungle clamour
Banter twisted like vines
Lions with psyche scars
Monkeys as crackpot sleuths
Snakes in a labyrinth guise
Parrots preen an oily beauty
Giraffes creak in rumpled posture

Immersive labelling
My colleagues salivate slippery ambition 
Pre-occupied with image
Our digital frontier, computer glitches
Terrain...

I see rainbows big and bright, 
This world I see is happy tonight 

I wrote a poem that brought me down,
I will not post it, it made me frown.

Happiness and love I’d rather share,
Especially to...

Head-heart conspire, the plot thickens,
slowing thought flow, ego quickens,
choosing thus to negate desire,
the plot thickens, head-heart conspire.

Soul’s sheet wiped clean, karma’s erased,
for we have been by bliss mists grazed,
revealing our heart’s lustrous sheen;
karma’s erased, soul’s...

Robotic!
Courageous, fearless and Inquisitive guy!
Wild and free, I would be,
Self-propelled intelligent tool.

Pacing through the darkness!
Screeching the storms and meteorites!
Defeating radiations and wandering free!

Travelling silently through the space!
Bouncing on the moon!
Spinning around the blackholes!

Exploring the Sun,...

Hibernating from the spring until Autumn,
who knows where, maybe under garden heaps,
now triggered as December snowflakes come,
the single glove now rouses from it's sleep.
On pavements fingers point accusingly
or maybe show places where one might slip,
one...

Battle weary joints in intuitions arrayed lines,  
Reconnoiter the ballistic armor dish,
Spy work encounters soft voluptuous designs,
Muzzle lifted arrogant projectile as gripe ball?

Overshoot or underplay enemy rights,
Miss fit charged by the trigger happy brigade,
Blooms...
