Long Slaking Poems

...Then one looked at her sand said, “Let’s have us another ’bout.”
But the man on her horse said, “No, I’m claiming that one now.
In lieu of my share of the gold when all of them...

NOT incarnated in an unlight inside this Great Hookworm's duotoroidal traumedy-

NOR feverously skeined 'tween the Void's warp-weft over timeleft psukhai shivering-

NIL latency in thoughtfoam friths or thrice-past-madness witnesses to Tantalus' entelechy.


IT wasn't borne on echoes...

Where once verdant rolling highlands...

Spanned into infinite vista
far as these myopic eyes can see
now yellowing Whitmanesque
leaves of grass encompass field of vision.

Nary a dark dreadnaught cloud in sight,
nor unbeknownst if/when threatening storm
looms on horizon slaking...

The Passing of the Lord, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s La Mort du Seigneur by T. Wignesan

Lord ! I’m unable to think of your passing without crying
I count the flogging blows I rain upon you
And despair...

Overnight the calm was shattered asunder
as lightning, presaging rolls of thunder,	
reverberated across the darkened sky,
flashing warnings heavy rains were nigh.

Next Nature’s pyrotechnics, in awesome display,
turned the black sky of night, into day!
As the deluge began...

The mossy green lump juts invitingly
An overhanging face of vertical formation
Moist rocks often kissed by hovering clouds
The steep trek is overwhelmingly dangerous

Fearlessly she set out for the daunting climb
A pull that attracts goal-driven people like...

Twas a dark knight, 
whence there came a pawn the hushed crowded movie house
A phantom of horror sprung out of the rookery that wrought deadly havoc
Renting asunder innocent audience members
Anticipating Batman annihilate evil within Manichean...

Lean into me Luv,
abandon the logic of romance,
be naked in the nature of my need,
pant openly as weightlessness prickles your pink parts,

Tonight I do not want your love,
I don't deserve it anyway, a villian in...

Forgetting is a vain refugee camp,
    Madonna, for still these walls get
    breached, amidst the daily, frenzied
    barter of honed art for bread,

While slaking arid, thirsty...

1904-1920

Who was that coughing at my side?

Which of my manly pallbearers

Leaned upon my casket

On that distant funeral day?

Who was it that yawned,

Loudly, sleepily, lazily,

On the day they covered my bones with dry dirt,

Here in...

The rewards are beyond any earthly values.  If you could and would, I suggest you daily do some...

From a gentle sprinkling
That keeps the garden fresh and green
To a raging summer storm
Where lightening cracks and thunder roars
From a tiny little stream
Right up to an awesome flood
Constant is the flow of our Lord’s love!

Blot out the whole emerging gesture
To demonstrate leading astray thy pace;
Don't rebound to toil and wrestle,
Be temperate tilt not at any rate!

Outrun ne'er surpass in celebrity quartan,
Submission ties settle better productive gain;
Prepare to ignite flame...

Hand on thy hand, no walking distance
Under the yellow sun wandering glance
Silence of pebbles with the striding sea
Snail pace towards the soaked shore tree

The thirst grips the tongue of our mute love
Shadow of the coconut...

Ahhh to these new beginnings on the horizon,
Bridging so sweetly into something new to dive in,

I look upon the next chapter in life,
Does it involve a job? Car? Maybe a wife?

All these things can bring...

so, this is what life is about
no use to scream
no use to shout
this is what life is about

the cream floats to the top
the top to taste
first
slaking the thirst
of what life is about

but the cream

Here I am, captive to your charms,
Dreaming of embracing in your arms
Enslaved by sweet addiction, 
Gazing at a ceiling of satiation,
Slaking our thirsts of timeless fire,
of each other we never seem to tire,
Captured by the...

Roiling,simmering,boiling while quivering.This toiling ,this Maddening Lust;Gifted Hard;this thing in Me.Til dawns light first breaks,feel a Rage,Pure so Freely.Bended knee;drink deeply.Fill the Cup:Satiaite me.With Glistened Lips ,lick them sweetly.A ton of Ash.Burned Hot ,Completely.When looking...

the

hallelujah! 
nightingales abound
go "tweet! tweet! tweet!"
at long last, 
healing

petrichor wafts
through the lush verdure
beautiful earth
young again
