Long Solar flare Poems

Misanthropic melodies played from a broken violin
Prehistoric prophecies that ignite new ideas before they begin
Telescopic telomeres that formulate a scientific grin
Endoscopic X-rays and a doctor drunk on gin

Valiant human beings with virtue among the discord
Salient...

In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus snow-melt-nursed and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn my mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires

it took me a while to...

You who warm us everyone
You who glow to make things grow

While watching my parents being mugged and killed
At age thirty-one my calling was revealed
Got bitten by a rare deadly bug
While surviving a nuclear blast so snug

In a exploding toxic waste dump
As a comic meteor from...

Ink blotting covers looks like souls trying to escape from a cluster
Shanking each other, blood spilling in a gutter
People hating one another, melting butter
The back of a butterfly, a hand partially covering an eye
Cloud in...

Yesterday the sun rose slowly
Over the lake glimmering glistening, quietly,
The calm wind took a wink at the blue jay softly
Flying over the fragrant pine trees and allowed the sun to
Burn in the summer morning, whispering,...

Mr. Joe's tongue bloomed as beautiful flowers
Petals falling down as crystal drops of rain
Went to the apple land to follow the shadow as bride's future
Left the morose marks from the woods where he came from

Hence,...

Just a single conscious decision,
hanging in the palm of your hand
A quavering sensation
breathing in subsequent rhythm, a pulse
dripping from the band
All these motifs around me
and I'm just a stagnation in time
Never will be or is...

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

JOHN M. ARRIBAS





I am demanding my own star in the sky when I die
I’ve handled all the hardships no judge can deny
I survived the obstacles nature placed in my path
Withstood the inanity...

The solar storms are flaring up;
Charged particles assault the earth.
Plasma distorts magnetic fields;
Effects are felt from Nome to Perth.

A syndrome targets human hearts,
Apparently, the brain as well.
Incredulous, the truth departs
Like dolphins, with a fond farewell.

Inspired by the unending love my grandparents had for each other and a story of one of their winter dates.

On this cloudy winter day, 
the sky is gray 
and I am too.
I kick a pebble...

Wally and I
Became friendly this past July
Hot sultry air as we ignored the solar flare
Taking a stroll nearby a family fun park
We heard a cry or maybe a fainted bark

Looking around to a definite plaintive...

Like chameleon hiding growls in chains
She fumes in defiance, such stubborn will;
A raging fire about Vie I can’t explain
Mocking fate when stars bind her daunting spills.
Oh woman, your patience bears heavy weight
Brisk moments clamor for...

You hadn't had any forewarning
as you take a spoonful of
Granny's 12 alarm chili,
not knowing its the

as its about to set off an alarm,
when you take your 
first bite, you try to show...

They say it’s no bigger than a helmet, 
 Half-sunk in moondust, beside a crater’s lip— 
 A sculpture of a child's hand, reaching 
 upward, fingers curled mid-gesture, 
 as if to catch a...

No one saw him come or go,
he just appeared
jerking around - a mute puppet on fire.
His strings must have been thin
too thin to hold a flame
or maybe like his eyes, they were fire resistant.

Wandering hearts
star-crossed
Another silent night 
celestial pulse 
scarlet letter comet tarry
Earth angels cry
A stellar love longing
sigh written in the moonlit sky
Straying asteroidal attitude
lonely tale
ice particle trail
Send out an SOS solar flare
in search of a 
quasar pulmonary...

Solar Flare

A long, slender dollop of dribbled concrete,
amidst others on a construction site,
liberally seen as a ray of sun,
I fashioned for a stony sculpture piece,
around an alabaster ringed flat rock,
to shine an artist's...

My mind is tribal, I hunt in the mud and slurry,
I track the stars in a wooden chariot

My thoughts are armored, yet as articulated

The whirlpool stars of the Milky Way appeared when she was feeling grey.
Mother-of-pearl constellations shimmered across her skin in the candlelight.
Saturn’s red rings spiraled wildly at her climax—
A solar flare unleashed in breathless surrender.
Turquoise desire...

I remember that night
when my mind took a walk
on its own.
Not in as a dream,
but like an inquisitive dog
escaping through an open gate.

Like a child living in a bubble,
just rolling around a strange land,
where mind...
