Long Sleep off Poems

Like Hannibal we crossed the pass and crossed 
   the Alps (okay, the Brynderwyn Hills) 
and a bridge too far on north-west passage.
   From out of the Valley of Mizpah

THE RISING HILLS, THE SLOPES, TO QUENCH MY THIRST.
In the last century, the hopes were little,
Grasses they collected, yellow bananas, they peeled,
To move up the slopes, preparation was fore filled,
Oh the grower of banana trees,
To...

My hands are elephant hide.
I mean old, weathered, rough, 
a shady glen of crevices with ink stain valleys.
They are the window to my soul tonight.
They sleep off bumps and bruises from
me moving too fast, as...

twas the night before 12/25, and all through the country
not a believer was praying, not even mitt romney.
s&m gear amassed in closets where stored,
awaiting the moment “santa” showed, to commence the beatings
once more.

Southwold (Suffolk).
 
 Dear Southwold

 How I love to visit you,
 To stand barefoot,
 On your bright yellow sandy beaches,
 To stand and admire your pretty streets,
 Your glowing white Lighthouse,
 and your quirky Pier.

O, how I have dream't this night would come.
Me and you, and you and I together;
in the same room,
on the same night.
The night is young, and so are we.
Tell me all your dark secrects,
as I...

I rue chances missed and days spent
Prevaricating whether to break the ice
Hold back, keep a low profile with my back bent
In a vow to sprinkle no more spice

In moves and grooves meant to cosset pride
Keeping...

Just imagine if you could time travel,
What sort of mysteries could you unravel? 
I would stop every minute of the day,
Pull down the bosses trousers for all the deductions in my pay.

I would go back...

My mind is dirt and this soil my curse
The seeds you plant in this heat make me worse
I just get so nervous, like I should believe
So perhaps I am wicked and not meant to be

I woke up
My room shines bright
Moon light is pretty tonight
Barely strenght to move but effort is my fight
Clever move to stand up
Now the walls blow up
The sky is dark
Moon becomes red
Candles turn off
An old blood...

What if I said I love you?
Would your heart skips its stepping stones and you fall into a bottomless hole?
What if I told you each time, I see your buoyed up face as early as...

A room lifted by the sound of a bed
The ruffles meander about itself
I desire to leave my imprint on it
Knowing how soft the sound is
I want to lay on it with my soul
The powerful allure...

I wanna write a poem,
Ideas are fairly dead;
As I lie here in my boxers,
Stupidity enters instead!

I'll share a word with my pup,
Discuss our vibrant laws;
I'll ask why I have fingers,
And why I can't have paws!

Maybe...

And there she sits, the lady who takes your breath away;
Her absence from my life would just mean a flay.
She sits with a smile but her eyes twinkle,
She would take whatever given, but a ray...

The winter approaching, 
Snow glistening,
The sound of wind so strong,
Midnight fuel burning,
My heart is so lonely.

Listening to unfriendly loud screams,
The snoring and friends’ bad dreams,
Very faint in my ear but close it seems,
As silence creeps...

With a new world in the making
Positively no mistaking
No need for hesitating
With no line and no waiting

Welcome to the new world order
Closed minds with open borders
What have we done to our sons and daughters
We'd call...

There were nights I'd stay up
Keeping watch until you wake up
There were nights I'd sleep off
With the lights not turned off
Your cushy breasts my pillow
Your beating heart my lullaby

The stars looked up to us
The moon...

Washing the sleep off my face, at me the sun smiled; 
Telling me it’s a brand new day
A bright young day, a foot to start a mile
And to gather my tools and make some hay

He was my former student,
In whom I found not a dent.
On the day he took the leap
I’d seen a knotted crowd weep:
Way back 1998
While Service Allowance did wait...

Passers-by he’d shocked with stereo: 
A yelling one...

In A Deep Forest

In a deep forest I did find myself lost
Trying to cool temper with some frost
Then went to sleep off into oblivion
And now am a North Carolina Bolivian.

Is amazing how Bolivia got its...

Lastly, the light, curry sun falling
against the walls, against your eyes
has washed out the fire we carry, ignite
and tired our thoughts left to smoke
We sit, Indian style, toes touching in kind
while we blessedly breathe, while...

Lesson as a child is an inborn
It's of course right in the bone.
Like the early privilege souls:
Shakespeare, Yeast and Milton.
They are the history of years that sings in me.

Wait.. till this wicked night passes away,
sleep off the dreads, just try..

Wait..Till the moon draws away from sky, 
let tears rain till clouds dry..
 
Wait... till this ombre grass disappears,
may amber soothe your burning eyes.
