Long Shuttering Poems

The large, bright Winter moon shone it's heavenly light over and out amongst the snow-covered city. The city was large, the city was noisy. It was midnight and the bustling still urged on. People ached...

Hope for richly resonant peaceful warmth
wraps perfectly and mutually redeeming moments
correlatively weaving absorbent straining ropes
woofing full wefted tapestry
through subtly suggestive tipping points
predicting dissonantly ruddered resolutions,
transitioning shuttering events,
prophesying regenerate Tree of Life RootSystems

Crowning eco-nomially balanced appositional...

Stretching at the very heavens are the braches of autumn,
It is becoming the season of death, and mother natures promise
Of rebirth is with drawing, leaving nothing behind but stilled
 Whispering echoes.
The very ground itself grows...

Management here at
Highland Manor Apartments sent out word
that tomorrow, January twenty third,
two thousand and twenty one,
we (all residents) will receive the first (of two)

The year is almost over. 
And I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with that notion. 
It’s just another trip around the Sun for some semi self-aware

Countless instances submitting poems
finds me racking
quite a hefty collection of rejections,
the responses lacking
disappointing voluminous vicious
venomous vitriolic backing
quite the contrary,
the prefabricated responses

unsuccessful at hijacking
my "FAKE" toothy gumption
(since I wear dentures) lip smacking
bite size packing
not exceptionally appetizing,
but...

Go for a lot of one person to blame

I watched the water shuttering on the table.
I was stunned as this seemed out off sorts:
an earthquake exactly at twelve, high noon
on 12-12-2012 . This is the day, that the
Priapus Award finalist had to have

Silent sobs echo through an apartment whose walls are cluttered with pictures of 
what was.
My tears coming too easy, too quickly.
The flow of release not bringing peace or resolve.
There's no deep sleep following this.

In times like these, where I live,
Days are rising in exuberance of spring
Blossoming season’s scented revelry
As hatchlings are chirping jovial music,

Yet, the news dominates COVID-Nineteen:
A world trapped in grip of quarantine.

Silence of the streets speaks...

I.

I’ve lost my sense of silence…

I’ve lost my self
So now I hate everything
I want nothing to do with anything
Does this make you sad?

It makes me sad, sure,
And even as I curse even that sadness
I cant...

Hearing some sort of sound,
From the room upstairs,
Looking down the hallway,
You wouldn't ever compare,
A bright light,
From the bottom of the door,
As you think to yourself,
Do I turn the knob,
Or just run away scared,
As curious I...

Can you feel the footsteps
Of time running out?
The world’s standing…
On the desert remains
Of the sands of time

We stand on the doorstep
Of a new beginning
The future's upset
Life's a shameful past
History's reset

High on nuclear
Minds so unstable

she …

stood on tiptoe ...
her hair knot, now unpinned, softly burst
tawny, gold-streaked tresses
tumbling down her shapely form
coming to sassy rest upon her rounded backside
and on the cool of his hand 'bout her waist
his deft index...

If no longer could I inscribe, upon tapestries of rosy skies,
Dreams tinted violet, blossomed in themes amethystine,
And no longer could I weave-in the dreamscapes of life,
Failing to decode the missives of your clandestine smile;

If bluebells,...

By a heart attack, from biting grime

By divinity, a pirate gave up ghost
With “heart” his heart to find a host!
