Long Shyer Poems

I have been on the road of recovery once again
Abandoned, but that’s alright – how have you been?
I hope you well in all you do…I’m unlike any other man
Remember the train who said “I think...

The spider Queen, aloofly vain!
She rules a silent ruthless reign,
with black-bead eyes like pearls of rain
that damp the depths of her demesne. 
          .

While I gaze in your eyes, cool cerulean blue,
Sifting night, straining stars through morning’s sweet dew,
I can fathom the depths of empyreal skies,
Angels fluttering by, riding wild butterflies

While I gaze in your eyes, changing, aqua-blue...

Birdman

Bold Dewi Jones would leave his home
first thing every morning,
and trot him down to Towy Wood
just as day was dawning,
and there he filled his Tesco bag,
five pence from any store,
with chickweed celandine and seed
and other...

Healthy HomeSchool
therapeutic mindbody homelife,
especially for those who feel and think homeless.

Where we learn how everyone is a parasite.
Some more benign.
Others not so much.
But, still, beyond their bloated enslavement to rabidity
and terror
lies what is left of...

He left with the early train
He left in the rain
He had left only a letter
He didn't bother to wake her

As she slept like peace, a glow on her face
Bathed in the memories of the pleasure;

At the Planet Gym
embodying my best business
when suddenly I wonder

Why am I here?
repeats
and repeats
in my wandering ear

And what magic
might appear

Isn't that queer?
Not WHY am I here
with these Straight People

because this overpopulated question
may obscure other
quieter
ambidextrously resourceful...

Imprisoning textures
and routine lectures
in loneliness,

"your own fault"
"not Other's loss"

blame
shame
dipolar co-arising

Loneliness effacing
cognitive/affective reason
and denying access
to more social future seasons

Including primal memories
of self-appreciation
self-sufficiency
communication resource-fullness,

And yet,
     and yet,

Beneath such reasonable busyness,
when I can sustain
opulent...

place me on a gentle thought 
where i can stand still 
about all that is, of worry

plaque me not
oh trickster, of all that is of the unreal
fade into your blissful victory!
of mean, and vigorous deceiving!...

Better Living Through Chemistry?

With chemical kindness, this life’s demagogic,
genetics of chance gives some lifeforms a leg up,
but ‘dust back to dust’ sings Time’s Brownian movement
as years guide all matter (the refuse of starlight,
frail islands of...

Digging through the trash I find inside myself,
discovering more and more things to hate.
I hate the way I give and give,
letting others use my generosity.
I hate the way I’m always too blind to see,
that so...

And if at night the stars do come
shy in cautious dim
I quickly count them - the night is short
they give me time
if they have such a thing!
But, not the nights I need
The sun makes them...

all the wild in it's wisp and brood.
fly nature in and scented skin.
fell silently her silk new bloom.
back in the arms of the one she calls him.
lay on clouds of pull and press.
arms of brambles...

The Meewee that lives under my bed,
Has purple skin and an unusually large head.

His eyes are large and green,
And although he looks it, he is not at all mean.

His fingers are boney, and his feet...

The rage inside my broken heart is rising.
The fight I maintain is weak.
Tears fall as I sing.
My music is strong, but I am meak.
I will not give up hope though.
No matter whatt it takes to...

If space had more than a billion stars 
I would still bring them down for you
I will make you a necklace
I would take the moon as a ring
And distance as a thread
And wrap it all...

(Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Delight)

I used to feel disjointed and frazzled.
Now all my connections are fine.
I have a red headed girl with my coffee,
And a strawberry blond with my wine.

I harbor twin sisters I treat...

All senses alerted, I'm certain you're here
Your hand snakes my waist, confirming the fear
Attempts to fake brave, just making me shyer
Dancing with Daniel is playing with fire.
If I reached up a little,
Close enough to kiss,

I’m growing old inside my eyes.
Through that lens I cannot disguise.
She saw them today while magnifying.
Tiny cataracts is what she was spying.
Emma the optician must be lying.

I’m growing old within my knees.
When I struggle to...

BLUEBELLS



Silent bells chiming  in this  harmony glade.
Trees float on their  airy carpet of blues,
Inviting me  to glide in them, with their hues  
Of damp ground and smell of cool shade.


Patches...
