Long Silver tongued Poems

THE HAUNTING
 
Entombed behind isolation's walled prison, a haunting 
Malice has so trapped me within, evils chamber of the forsaken.
It crouches beneath shadows shroud, its leering eyes pierce,
Through the darkness’s pitch black covenant of the...

2, 000 people in this God forsaken crest of a town
Am I the only one to keep the balance
To count the half second before midnight
To bring philosophy to a women's monthly
And call it quits
You don't...

A mountain of grounded rock reaching to the skies
A rabbit burying into a whole
A pig building a house of straw
Why, concrete little pig, brick and sweat
A tree, untrimmed and ungainly
Buzzing insects, foaming with diseases and...

A milk bottle of combustion is a silver tongued spoon. A dragon headed fortress underground. Weaving wavering waving wandering. A teaspoon of cataclysm in giant catacombs. Dominatrix circles and whirlpools. How very stylish Madame de...

See me a visualization of the truth. A fatal portrait selfie. A dose of reality. 1zt card life dealt me waz the high joker. Nocturnal Mojo. An ounce of venom. Mixed wit buckshot. Inhale freedom....

Entombed behind isolation walled
 Prison,
A haunting malice trapped me within.
Crouching beneath shadows shroud,
 Leering eyes pierce.
Through darkness’s pitch black,
 Covenant.
Pacing beast intercepting motions,
 Movements, mocking my,
Feeble attempts to evade frenzy's,
 Tormentor.
Deceptions deceiver, silver tongued, 
Weaver,...

   that we were born and grew into the world

   revealing all we have heard and seen,

You swear your word is solid
as a silver serving spoon
Well, why does it always feels like
another mis-spoken dog day afternoon
		Hotter than July
in the middle of June
		Cast iron sky
	making fainting hearts swoon
Butter pecan words
all dressed up...

Eight bells.
Starboard watch.
Tightened up another notch.
Holy upheaval rages ‘neath a cathedral sky.
Losing way as the wind whips up the spray.
Stormy tormentors rubbed salt in my one good eye.

Felt the tension in the rigging.
Sensed the strain...

You cannot shift a mower with a motionless stance but a stance is not a stanza nor a stem so never put fifteen flowers, blades of grass, and a sweater together in the washing basket....

He was a silver tongued devil from New Orleans
Carried a new deck of cards in a locked brief case
He came up to Texas in a pair of pressed jeans
With a stiff demeanor they called a...

He stands before us
to deliver
a poem, a prose, a
verse a rhyme, or message.

His manner quite
manifesting,
and his confidence
puts the crowd at
ease.

Soon and very soon,
too soon- we loath
him.
There is
too much cluster on
his magniloquent,
vine, of strung
together
words without
substance.

Though the...

Happy birthday Kris
For the Good Times that I’ve known
The hungry years were lean to me
Yet you made me feel at home
Searching in the darkness
For the truth to set me free
Lost somewhere in forever
Your spirit, still...

Oh! How it must have looked back then
How you looked oh so small
As you gazed into your future
In that mirror on the wall
Family is as family does
And God knows that we need 'em
But that image...

The post industrial lack of revolution continues to spew its poisonous fumes,
Into our mouths from its radioactive decay whose half-life is replenished by half of our own.

Plucked ripe from the fruitless laurel of she who...

the tongue is just another muscle
gives strength to what we think
amidst life's daily hustle bustle
helps thoughts to words interlink

so the father with his mother tongue
speaks to progeny generations come
lessons learned to offspring young

The Political class

The problem with politicians is we need
someone to represent us and they do for a reward
the power and prestige.
Delegates speak fluently give promises they have
no intention of keeping and a prone to corruption

An imperfect girl in a perfect world
With dark brown eyes and messy curls
A chameleon adapted to blending in
She feels like she will never win

In a world filled with carbon copies
She is unable to distinguish the...

today the past is now present
jarring brass voices carry weight
high-pitched illustrations
shutter light from daybreak dawn

future tenses refuse reflection
engineering a blinding bluff 
seeking slogans fruitful echoes
crisp loud voices snap rebuff

the past passed to relegation 
discreetly forecasts...

what a date that day
you appeared like a damsel
with your innocent look

captivated by your angelic smile
my heart longed to know you

as you smile from that distant mile

Shall we meet in Cairo, 
‘neath the ancient, mystified monuments
 to forgotten love?
Halves rent apart worlds ago, 
reintroducing first wild desire.

To explore scents exotic,
a tangible feast upon my tender breast,
tasting honeyed hips
with sugar-spoken lips 
‘neath...

Love has always been an elusive, unattainable feeling,
and yet, its absence is like a gaping wound in need of healing;
a hurt that continues to burn.

Lust is a concept that you are intimately acquainted with,
lauded by...
