Long Shacking Poems

In a foreign lush green sprawling land
A patchwork carpet stitched together
In shades of tawny browns yellows and green
Rugged rock forest and wind-swept moor
Is a awe-inspiring spectacle to be seen

In summer's adorned frock adorned bushes and...

a conspiracy nut 
everything is a lie
shouted his gut

but the t.v.
says,it's true 
do you love 
me baby
or the half naked singer
looking at you

damn this brainwashing
box 
it's always on
even when you turn it off
the 20th century...

So I trickled out if
your life
As water through a
spring
Smoothing over the
points and rocks
alone
An adventure
I didn't give you
another thought
You were irrelevant
to me
I told myself this
religiously
Just someone I used
to know
Until now that is
Now I've done
everything I wanted
Traveled...

Warming lights surround you
Quilting the sharp silence
Outside dawn begins
Earth starts stretching 
Straightening out the knots
Caught from hours of slumber
Night moves on to blacken another sky
And Calmness stills the room
All is as it should be

As you...

Big, blonde beauties
so beautiful and so pretty,
such girls of high class
drinking from glasses,
filled with the best champagne;
and smoking their fine cigarettes,
while gossiping their fine stories
bragging and spoiling on themselves.

ha! ha!

Tell me again about your big,...

With day full of sleep, moon falls in the river.
Its beams danced on water with shadows of trees
to a beat of rhythm from wind till it died 
and buried in music of quietness of night....

He fought
Strong and hard
He did
Especially since
He got that letter
He fought
As if
There was no tomorrow
Worth living for
It changed him
It saddened him
He used to laugh
Like a Kookaburra
Even among
All the whistles
Of impending death
Over there
On the Dardanelles
He’d be the...

...The hard-core just leave men altogether,
but in the rank-and-file there’s a trend
of these women speaking of ‘gentle’ guys,
then shacking up with the dominant men.
Tale old as time, women love the ‘bad boy,’
there instinct responds to...

Did you feel the trust?

Oh, effervescent lusting

Cracking your core

As the trysting truffles of love

Unfolded?

 

Cranking at your heart

That came into you, to start

And the piece that you felt

Was it always so irrational?

 

Misunderstood, by change...

She plucked up the courage
To help these stricken creatures
Strewn across the 
High tide mark
Scooping one up
From the sand
In her little hands
And threw it 
Back in
Shacking her hands
And little fingers
For the bite and sting
that didn't begin
A...

Bridge cards aren't for everyone
just those who have real need
Not meant for all those college "kids"
that party and smoke "weed"

Not meant for all those shacking up
with a "daddy" in the house
His room and board? It's...

Opened my eye awoken by a thought
Palms all sweaty, hands all shacking the worlds definately changing.
Everywhere I turn is re-arranging
Everyone is ex-changing soon there will be no refraining. 
Father, there is too much complaining this...

A plate of hunger unsavoury to taste
My belly groans,worms meander in haste
once upon a dream packed with love and care a meal I wish
Unfair a reality of a belly inflated not with a dish

With speed of light, my tender heart dropped
Stitches burst open, my repairs unlocked 
Wasn't something I could avoid, nothing I could stop
Neither was the handful of salt tossed on top

I had truly been feeling a...

When we married in church
            you swore a solemn vow,
now you’ve left me in the lurch
shacking up with that vile cow.

A giant bee is buzzing
Just outside the window pane.
My silent wish that he would leave,
It seems, was made in vain.

He's circling around the roof
With not a hint of going;
His loyalty to that one spot
Shows not...

You have left me:
Happy, spiritual, able to fly
Invincible, numb, light as a feather
Ready for the world, gracious, someone new
Generous, shaded, needed, loved
Rejuvinated, bathed, reborn, cherished
Wanted, held, comforted, warm,great...
 
You have left me:
Broke, ugly, smelly,mean
A criminal,...
