Long Shallowest Poems

Flatness 
	
	
	Consider the possibility of becoming 
	a two-dimensional surface
	with no thickness whatsoever. 
	No, face-down on the floor won’t get it; 
	at best your nose will be in the way. 
	You’ve got to get lower, closer,...

With apologies to Sir W.S. Gilbert

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list.
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would...

Beard looks weird,
that's a lyrical genius to be feared,
you wrote a 6 year song and got the facts wrong,
fired with the hair and safety still on,
I guess that scope's just a tele,
with sights and hopes...

It's dark.
Even through closed lids I've perceived the
monotonous treachery 
the day has in store.
I suppress a moan within my chest,
and my bones creak with illusory age.
Another dawn which is not
impedes upon my shallowest slumber.
The persistent...

In Youth-less Age
 


Though gentle, hopeful drifts we brood,
but age our wont be kind enough,
in threescores is when life imbued,
will partial be the earthly stuff;
but you'll still be my fancy then,
when Suns shall be the...

We've got anchors
1,200 miles away but we're mirror opposites
anchors to hold us down from floating away
or anchors to hold fast with a sinking ship
we've taken on water for sure
but that doesn't mean we're destined
for the...

The water was quiet
Like the world had folded into one slippery cloth
With moist air dragged by some unknown power
The origin had never been known
Of this deep bowl of blue.

My fingers never reached the shallowest sand
Where...

You were not
you were not my ship.

Simply existing in my deep ocean
that continues to deepen with every emotion.
I
thought I'd try you.
I
thought I'd try you.

Saw you occasionally on my shore
looking uninterested, even bored.
I don't blame you,
for...

Don't we miss the joy of holding each other?
We won't stare in anybody's pretty eyes
and say sweet things to mask our fear?  
There are no promised rewards when one lies!

Don't we miss the joy...

If mothers didn't bear children,
we wouldn't hear their screams
while they're laughing aloud
and are having lots of fun;
love them and be always blessed,
sparkle enthusiasm and dreams!   

If lovely spring stopped blooming,
how sad we would...

Inspired by Nancy Sinatras Song "Bang Bang" http://youtu.be/T5Xl0Qry-hA

In this little heart of mine
filled with sunshine, smiles, and crime
I let it roam and let it play
but looks for you all night and day

Fang Fang
I'll hunt you...

Eternity, where
Immanence-transcendance
mutually reinforce.
When alien is at home, 
the desert in the sea.
While impossible to seek,
knowing is bestowed
and all elect, 
the sons of art.

Here invention's noble thrust
sujects itself to faith in vanity
the measure of depth
a evanescent...

Its emotion itself moulded in pens hue,
The feelings in it are from vast ocean to tiny dew;
whence it hath filled minds shallowest lakes,
It flows down from heart as through snow flakes.

Proud and great are those...

No, I'm  not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause."
How much I regret this plight of conscience,
people walking around unmindful of the tragedy.
Have they no trace of humanity?
Are...

My anticipation like shimmering evanescence
Over a mountain stream.
In the stillness of the dark
My senses fine tuned, straining,
So as not to mistake any whisper of movement,
Any rustle in the night.
My body tense, my eyes wide,
Serching the...

The lapse takes place in moonlight,
Curtained behind the rain,
Where the raucous chimes of midnight
Mock with their cracked-ice refrain;
The gut-churning whiskey of sorrow
Swills on the palate of fear,
And the cigarette breath of tomorrow
Spills through memorial beer.

Resurrecting...

Prayer For Bad Noose
(The Goitre Psalm) 

The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want a Swollen Neck
He Leads me to the BEST Physician
He Restores my Throat
He Leads me through the dangers of Surgery
