Long Solitarily Poems

"Skinwalker"


That one’s mind 
is like a scene from Chagall
dreams flow like blood bleeds
across the cortex page curtain call
an audience with the silent speakeasy 
cerebellum with its swift
matter-of-factness 
logically guides the fingers 
to dance across keys...

Do not look to me with questioning eyes - I do not possess the answers you seek 
cannot taste the bitter sweetness on your tongue or smell the withered flowers 
along your path. My heart...

OMG this is what I think as I am reading? 
thus pus poems and yes they stink
simple in word mire contrivances with 
rancid rhyme scheme redundants that
exude explanatory expectorants spouting 
word wormy willy wally whilst...

My co-worker posed a theory to me
That our boss was born one hundred years later than she was supposed to be
Neither of us could exactly put our finger on why, but I had to agree
No...

It’s always better to move on and not forget 
Why forget when you’ve been around so long
The future never shapes
It’s just some hope for the waste which is the past
I live in the moment and...

The clattering fan
brushes the
hair from my eyes
And
through
sunspots
in clean window patches
I watch them
walk by


Do they see
What
I see
With the trees so delicately catching the wind
And
The
dew drops reflect
light from 
its leaves
which clap and wave 
with their long branches
almost...

He visits the coffee shop every week
On Thursday, his personal treat
Buys skinny latte, with biscotti
Then takes his regular seat

In the alcove, by the window
Sits to watch the world go past,
With book taken from his ‘man-bag’
Settles,...

We used to share dreams;
thoughts, my sister and me.
I occupied the top bunk, she the lower
in the cold, dank bedroom
we once inhabited from dusk to dawn.

Not prophetic dreams, the future;
we had no perception, illusions.
No exchanging,...

Who could deny you?
No one’s ever felt this way before
Passing through the open door
Shaking your fist, screaming
How could you dare keep me out?!
Solitarily unified
And home at last

Who could deny you?
It’s your money after all
Look at...

Jack-y
Jack-y
Ohhhh Ms Jacky 
how you court your life’s only lover
Huff and puff and contort, the smoke of your
Newfound Newport 
(Long not short)
Lazily lacking worldly desires

If I had your sense of humour
Maybe I'd too sling new...

The house of my dreams,
A place where everything
Is filled with my imagined themes.

Dream house,
A dome roof of glass,
All stars in viewing.

The house of my dreams,
A place where all seems
So clean and at peace.

Dream house,
A windmill...

Memories blurred in the past,
At most I can outline the images
Of times, they are everlasting.
My mind’s functioned to forget,
So I should never hold regret.
Yet my soul constantly reminds me
Of a memory and many more.

Moments now...

"Go gliding like an Eagle 
where Poets go
music will lead -
through truth, 
Love will show"
He said,

"When you think 
all is gone,
that’s where real
Love 
will show..."

"Fire and Lava flows,"
He said,

"Hell freezes over
While Snowglobes
are turned upside...

Mythological ruthless Cleopatra
Larger than life in 30 B.C.
Her Achilles’ heel being Mark Antony
His untimely death too much to bear

Solitarily confined in her mausoleum
Desperately recluse with her royal asp 
Her only sanctioned confidente
Sole witness to her...

Is there a place for us
Lonely souls
In this big, glowing city?
How ironic
To feel solitarily
In a city of fourteen million
Been slinking in the shadows
For a while now
The light can be burning
Frightening
The shadows can be reassuring
Rapid
Train headache
The...

Rigged green vines
coiling upon a cold steel gate,
within,
a numbing mist hangs over the land.
Twisted, dreary trees
stand solitarily
amongst the stone garden.

Listen,
you can hear their groans and sighs,
wheezing in the eerie stillness.
The creeping fog clings to tree...

Cave was carved from crumbling rock,
inhabited by a seagull flock,
which chirped and squawked the day away,
mottled chicks would stretch and play.

Above this cave a gnarled tree
sat watching guard, solitarily,
it felt ashamed, neither green nor tall,

My unguarded heart once had a home.
But, was abandoned; and now on its own.

Loved and nurtured once upon a time.
Never to be the same again; in this lifetime.

Hollow soul searches for amatively. .
To give "whole-hearted"...
