Premium Member The One That Got Away - Silence of What Ifs

If a poet falls in love with you
you will live forever.
Atticus Finch - To kill a mockingbird.

In the midst of conundrums, of 'what ifs.'

I dislike the ocean,
its bitter saltiness, brings no joy.
Perched safely, upon the highest cliff,
watching waves surge upon the shore.
They are a constant reminder of
how you waved goodbye.

Each ripple carried you away - forever.

Lost in reflection,
sentimental memories remain eternal.

Recalling how the sun caressed your face,
mirroring your spirited smile -
like a lantern in my darkness.

Still unforgettable -
the joy in those soulful eyes -
each time you glanced at me.

Nonchalantly, I would follow you.
As we walked without a care -
you never seeming to tire.

In our youthful playground,
rusty see-saws and swings 
still remember our laughter and tears -
that first sophomoric kiss

and I can still taste you.

When night would arrive,
there was no fear, hand in hand.
You were like a mystical pixie,
glowing in the enchantment of moonlight -
it would illuminate through your eyes.

We could have danced all night,
our souls ascending to the heavens.
But, I was afraid of new horizons,
because, I knew you would depart -
just like a shooting star.

Without thinking,
I broke your heart -
before you could heal mine.

I remain in the silence of 'what ifs.'
But, I smile, content -
knowing that once there was a time,
your heart and mine, 
merged like day and night.

Off the Beaten Track

A plethora of attention
focused on twentieth anniversary
regarding terrorist attacks
upon American soil nine eleven
two thousand and one,
thus Schwenksville poet
opted for his best métier write.

While riding atop a yak
both feet went wickety wack
trudging beast of burden a throwback
to the brainchild
of John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert
devised Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer
otherwise dubbed ENIAC
cumbersome invention
programing machine no easy knack
also impossible mission or fit in pocket
book versus handy to tote
laptop perfect fit inside day pack.

As an aging long haired
pencil neck geek baby boomer
who reckons himself
as schleppy (snoop doggy dog) self groomer
cannot escape scornful passersby
sneering, snickering and snorting
at me, an utter embarrassment to humanity,
who also sports sophomoric humor.

Unfair for yours truly
to saddle anonymous readers
which travails of mine
analogous overburdening
an old decrepit ass,
hence lumpenproletariat
marxist (brother) fellow,
whose insensitivity
could be interpreted as crass

subsequently aiming figurative sights
upon fresh fields,
where leaves of grass
harvested by me one
Norwegian bachelor farmer wannabe
ofttimes dashes off to Lake Woebegone
to escape madding crowds who harass

him, cuz he accentuates whole foods
with plenty of fiber to avoid
experiencing lower gastrointestinal impasse
acquiring moniker windbag
courtesy humongous formed rectal mass
necessitating the expertise of Nass
(another name for Nishga -

a member of a branch
of Tsimshian people
of British Columbia inhabiting Nass
River basin and/or dialect of Tsimshian
spoken by Nishga)
homeopathic remedies outclass
those of 21st century medicine,

said indigenous people
interpret objection toward their
age old medicinal practice as sass
even consider disagreement violation,
a figurative criminal mind to trespass
and the subject in question
a veritable, (albeit harmless) wiseass.

Port of Spain

Manifestations of your Gauzy Fantasies
Unravelling Bonds of Tangled, Mangled Destinies
Sun of Man Set His Right Eye on Me
Tenaciously Searing, Calculating
To Entrap Me, A Prisoner to His Needs
Inspired A Premedimated Deed did He
With Intent To Plant a Seed!

Stormed Wrecked and Invaded My Archipelago
Pirate Prowess, Sophomoric,
He Stared, I Jeered, Blotted Proviso Smeared
Drenched In Salted Sweet, Freshly Spring Showered Awhile Ago
Armpits Crying, Young Sun, I've Done No Wrong 
No Shade to Evade the Soundless Seranade
As The Father, Not the Sun, Pearched In a Chariot
Cascaded, Paraded Crusade

Blazing Rays, No Mercy, No Refrain
Solar Purgatory, Solicited by the Solar Nova Hovering above Port-of Spain
Evaporated Senses, Smothered Disdain, Budding Foliage Scorched and Drained
Organically Syphoning Hydration Reserved for Lack of Rain
Heat Rashes, Depleted Cortizone Stashes
Senses Assunder, Lost in  Wander
Drifting Sun Stroked, Begging Pardon, Parched and Punished In Port of Spain!

Going To Church

I have decided go to church.
A deeply prophetic interior voice 
has declared: 
'enough is enough.'

Since Christians are derided, abused
and killed around the world
without even a headline,
since the intelligentsia and media
jeer at any mention of prayer,
since I am not 'saved' and never shall be,
but since I will always stand for the 
guy with the sweaty shirt collar,
the woman who has faith in her womb,
the thin dog under the fat man’s table,
the individual not group-think,
I have decided to join a church.

I am not going, just joining
no one needs to know
except the Jesus in my heathen heart.
It’s just my little church built for one,
and when some sophomoric dimwit
with a college degree in the humanities
mocks my sacred belief,
I will enlighten him or her
with a curse straight from hell.


Sans Scribbling Scrolling, Scrounging Scrunching Scrying Scribe Section Sixty

the following quite quirky epistle may not exhibit the ordinary characteristics of poetry, but i decided to share this self made challenge (where every word begins with the letter "S" - no explanation can be offered why such self cerebral torture imposed, nor what motivated me to focus on the nineteenth letter of the english alphabet at the exclusion of other noble vowels and consonants.

Premium Member There Once

There Once Was 
By Franklin Price
3/5/2016

There once was a rich man who spent
His own money to be president 
You can tell when he stands
He has very  small hands
And to the debates he soon went

He found as he started to speak
That the others their noses could tweak
Some came back at him
But there wits were quite dim
Heads were bursting and starting to leak

He did quite well in the polls
Twice as well as the other poor souls
He rose to the top
As the others did flop
They began setting downgrading goals

The media jumped on him too
His opponents  began something new
Came out with rhetoric
That was really sophomoric
Even  green slime they did spew

Then one of them said something grand
Its meaning we all understand
You know what they say
In bathrooms every day
About a man having small hands

With that they sunk lower than low
They contested how low could they go
Much lower than we
Thought we ever would see
Did not take him down and then so

The whole party joined in the fray
To take him down in whatever way
Dig up any dirt
Bring on losers to hurt
Guess that's politics of today

October 6

Yesterday was 6th and it was less romantic,

Waiting for such call is little bit sophomoric.

 I think it’s odd to expect nothing on a blissful day.

Little disappointment strikes in my own lay.

 

 

 

 

Have you remember those last 3 months of 6th?

We were the sweetest couple running with our own old sticks.

I was in the darkest corner for the last 8 hours,

Keeping that old music playing by Swift called “Ours”.

 

 

 

 

I wanted you to utter those magical words over the phone,

Watching the clock, expecting you to call, is so much alone.

 Elevating this feeling is a bit awkward to do.

I guess this is how the spark of love can always do.

 

 

 

 

You promise that I will always be your only,

Why I’m so much bothered and feeling so sorry.

I guess this one great love is all about sacrifices,

3 months of relationship is ne’er as ill as bitterness.
