Long Shambled Poems

There was a bongoman, and he dreaming
Where the rock hovered above the blue sea
Looked through the white mist of a dew drenched morning
And clenched tight his memory of history
Black as midnight: showed me shining like...

There is us and them, but we must learn
Who is us and who is them ... whose blood is on the floor?
Whose illusions like shambled mansions burn?
No lack of compassion here makes the suffering of...

My Child, 
I Need You to Realize, When the Storms of Life Threaten Security
Like A Predator Stalking it's Prey
Unpredictable Devastation May Occur
But Storms are not Here to Stay
When Peace is Plundered,  Security Shattered In...

Under warmth of bearers quilt,
safe and sound in cave of red,
calmed tenderness and touched in silence,
they hang on, awaiting without a clue,
for that twilight to bless lids open.
As the clock ticks and pain rings,
they arrive...

When in my heart I feel a shade 
And I see that darkness blend into a grey.
When a soul corrupts from spite and hate 
When all they are is led astray, one kind act.

Among thou wistful bask of I, belies a heart of breaking, 
A mist within a mask of lies, corrupting my soul of eternal aching.
Shrouded upon my throne, used to be such exult,
A mistress in green,...

Smoking Hot

Once upon a time there was a little girl
She carried a chipped edged bowl in her hand
Charity had been generous to her riding years
Gifts were ripped, unwanted and unsized clothes
Grandma loved her Red Riding...

I danced with an Alien
At the Diplomat’s Summer Ball
Though I’m not sure Dancing
Correctly described it at all.
A dancing partner with six feet
And thirty six naked toes?
Trying to be graceful while avoiding 
Kicking or stepping on...

Tootle Lou met the gang at the McDonalds by the sea,
She shambled in with pants too big and stains for all to see.
We chewed and swallowed but never tasted,
Brain receptors craving stuff that Tootle Lou...

In the hushed forest a deathly silence prevailed
there was a ram shackled hut in the clearing
Three men stood in chains waiting their fate
with a bright flash the witchdoctor appeared

Cavernous of face and skeleton like body

ONE FOOT OUT OF THE BOAT
The white hotel! “Clinic”, slips behind his dragging coat and shambled shirt
He surprises himself once more; swallowing prescribed prescription freedom,
From who knows best for both of them?
It seems to be...

THE BRIDIE PRICE OF AN UNFORTUNATE LADY
Quietly her love fathomed
The glittering incisor,
A puissant one unravished,
An aesthete affirmed.
Wide in comb of friend
A pilot stood aghast
In rapt marvel of a portrait.
With no joy of dislike he lust:
“I...

 And as I lay there in repose    ...

Unleash your reign to only I, truth be wary of accost,
Many tyrants ripple kindly, though chilled I enflame the frost,
High Thronehood, I shatter thou, endorse the Chain of fallen veins, 
Gentle godhood now to falter,...

I’m out here in the wilderness.
I’m baffled, Lord, and in distress.
My heart is downcast, troubled, gray:
O Lord, be merciful today.

At times like these, I’m far from you
That’s how I feel, though it’s not true.
I feel...

The black curls, oh the resemblance to the night

clings to her forehead, distraught,

like the spider's web shambled,

crooked,   rubbing the forehead like the harsh waters 

rubbing the grey stone, by the riverside.

Polishing it maybe, intriguing,

forlorn tales hit...

she woke me—
	I sprawled, numb, eyeing her ass
		sashay off to pee
then I sort of felt crass,
I mean, what was her name?

that’s when bells tolled
church herding its fold,
	well, they can have that fake shame,
		that organized ruse.

After breaking his heart,
His love turned into hate,
All that is left is her scent,
He let go of her sweetheart,
Though it's so hard to forget,
A love story came to naught.

Trembling with alot of fear,
While playing truth...

It seems as if you are slipping further-
Further from life day by day
Your skin ages faster by the second,
Morphing to a pale shade of canary.

I cannot imagine you leaving me,
Though the truth becomes crystallized
Potentially fermenting...

That day was my last
It took my soul away
The sky turned dark
I was led astray.
The sky rained ashes and 
tears

I wiped my tears
as they ran down
my face. I spoke
the language of the
dead

The sky turned gray
