Long Shies Poems

Is It All In Vain?

Experimental scientific observations inside a laboratory 
Consequential specific consecrations that combine to form a sacred story 
Monumental consternations that speak beyond the allegory 
Environmental commiserations as the situations become horrifically gory...

I let the fires in my bosom burn on and on and on
Resuming on with my gladness, smiling — now, it’s your turn
To shine on like...

Don’t make fun of me
Don’t laugh at me
Don’t jeer at me
Don’t scream at me
Don’t cry out for me
Don’t call out my name
Don’t tell me that I’m lame
Don’t tell me lies…my High Spirit shies…
Away from the...

Ah Consuela! Invoking vast vistas for visions of green Spanish eyes,
I discern them again where she left me back then,
                 as we kissed when she parted, my friend.
Through those ruins I tread towards the footlights,...

Slept outside to save her sole
Staying outside might do her harm.
Gotta do summin’ to keep her warm.
Got her a pillow, got her a mat.
But she slept...

He is courageous, hospitable and kind.
He never shies away from responsibilities;
In his hearts of heart he controls all within him.

Mist, Mist..
Why not whisper, why not speak?
When upon thy shrouded depths,
Thou knowest truly, what we seek

Darkness, Darkness
Why be quiet, why not be shrill?
When your hoot and squeal and growls,
Shivers our spine, with unbidden thrill

Cat, Cat

'An Ill-fated Person Meeting His Loved One'

And she appeared like the snow
She appears like the speed of a storm
I do not know when she arrived
Like a pleasant breeze 
Why do I look for...

Where can I find you?
Where are you hiding?
I've asked the Stars
they remain silent
I've asked the Moon
night after night
from full moon to crescent and back
she shies away from me...
Not a word
I ask the Sun

for what other Force may decide when Heroes should die

With eyes full of tears of happiness 
And a heart with a bit of craziness 
Walked towards the mirror 
And looked into my eyes 
I blushed and smiled

"Will someone please answer!"
I scream and I Shout,
I'm trapped in this hole
And there is no way out!

Will someone, anyone find me?
I'm stuck in the abyss.....
who ever said that ignorance was bliss?

Never seen sunlight, nor moon...

Oh’ little star, you was always there above my head,
But I missed you when you were hiding from my eye sight.
I opened my window in the night time from my bed.

But sky was clouded and...

Darkness persists,
Then in moments appears the vitreous hue
On the horizon
as vision from nowhere filters through
the benighted heavens
the lonesome moon shivers 
in apprehension 
as her belamy flickers its last 
and regresses into the past

Tranquility resounds everywhere...

Along the paw-trod path
Narrow and dainty through the gorse
Where yellow flowers
Lie dim like fallen stars in the mist
Comes a silent visitor, hesitant
It licks its lips
A taste like vinegar
Humans of old and long ago
Their lonely essence...

If you don’t like me,
It wasn’t a matter,
I analysed me,
And blames myself,
Perhaps my colour is dark 
or my features are ugly,
Or something is wrong in my conversation,
Or you were more wise than me,
I praise for...

I try to pretend to be hard.
Cold, made of steel.

I wrestle with my silence.
Refuse to show emotions.

I lock my heart away.
I crush down what feelings may come my way.

There is a weakness that lives inside...

He wonders in silence aloud screaming
speaking to his own reflection unseen
memorized moments unfolding backward
like a rubber band unwinding
in its given way and own time
as fear brings clouds nearer
yet denial looms larger than life
a victim of...
