Long Spectra Poems

So, like I was saying,
before so rudely interrupted by Ms. Earth/Heaven Outer Space,
I enjoy many multisystemic and paradigmatic ideas
for applying PolyCultural Design Standards 
to develop both Interior and Exterior 
Trees of Time as Life/Death Landscapes,
evolving...

God, are you sending Earth an electron avalanche?
Was supplying sun’s particles part of Creation’s goal?
Is insulation why we have such a cold snowy North Pole?
Is there a light cycle, scientists’ least explored branch?

The suns’ fiery...

I can't be thinking of what others think
I have a life to live
Or do I?
Should you always think of what others think?
You can't afford to
If you always think of what others think
You would be crippled...

I open my eyes within your mind
Trying to see your world as you do
Yearning
Searching
Seeing
Hoping to find our self from within…
You
Us
Now
 
There we are within an image
projected upon the haze of our desire;
A rolling mist at...

 Append the seal on the opening glee
 Of performance agog with clapping drums,
 The cylindrical bell calling to spirituous mundi
 Screaming flew about in the air;
 Perched on ears
 And pecked on fertile hearts,

How is it viable that life could alter the course,
from people to people? 
What makes you quiver in the middle of the night 
to play with my agony?    
Until it is encircled...

Her cremated ashes still remain sealed in the same nondescript box
white, powdery and chalk like material
devoid of any vestigial semblance to her once living and vibrant self
that unique persona pulverized and vaporized

All day out of sorts with self I fluttered like a leaf
Upon a monstrous limb of grief
There was nothing in psychology or even belief
I found to bring my soul relief
All day with smoke filled eyes...

Glossy and translucent face, as a cold night
Into your desert of darkness there is no star
Only a black moon and a deep scar by diamond
Feelings traveling by trails on high cliffs,
Looking for in the vastness...

From single drop of dew guillotined on light
The blood flowed leaving the day white
Above world of red rage of racial rituals,
Orange mellow of satisfaction sought.
Yellow roses say angers end is admissable
Blues change to country songs,...

Like castles build in sand
The wave of time has left me nothing
Of letter or rhyme, I made
Since my hands stammered my heart
In broken spectra of words.
My childhood is lost, and manhood's bud
Like ash in the...

O Haiti, Haiti O how dark the clouds
That flock your sky like screaming birds
For victuals, how pensive the crowds
That mourn your history of frail shepherds
That could not keep Tousaint's dream
From crumbling like spectra in a...

Shine on, Shine on, O prism of glass
Spread your spectra across my life
Infuse your magic into a late morning dance
Your energies transfix me into a welcome trance.

Shine on, Shine on, wipe away my strife

Light spoke nothing so tenderly true
For many paths I depart to go
If, by moon’s delight, the one beyond our eyes,
Can be a miracle for a pleasant peace,
Which in despairs I dream nothing more
Even from the...

Allergic species of alphabets causes itching in my mind,
Like rashes, lonely frail but gigantic when unite,

Words carrying meaning in accord with linked dialect,
Languages holding cultures but biased,

Such a biased word the SUN whenever screaming,
Compelling east...

A spectacular show enlightens heavens above
In ephemeral musings of burning meteoroids
Mimicking likeness of falling ornamental stars--
Beaming streaks of rainbow-colors earthbound,

When earth crosses trajectory of comet's path
Encountering in its way pebbles of cosmic rock
Colliding, illuminating in...

We are new colonists and we embrace 
A hostile and unforgiving land. Lay

And the callous palms of tired hands, 
But the weary lesson lidded, did not 
Stay...

All nebulous dreams prospecting,
A hideaway in cloud atolls,
A nightly ocean, warmth awaiting,
In quibbling flow, to dawn's aperture
In spectra falling, spectral play crumbled,
Sojourner stars: their lamps parole
In a distance, behind amnesic lights
Razing autumn clouds, amber hues...

The crimson sun of demure dawn	
Climbs up the smoky sky seething slow
Burns air for the summer hasn’t gone.

Embracing the trees hot wind blows
Lean leaves filter sunburst streaks
Weave lattice of reverie on cool shadows.

The wind whistles...

You walked forlorn, waned in winter wasteland.
If you’re wrapped by warm arms of azure sea, 
enter my enthralled heart holding my hand,
you’ll find love, not lost in obscurity.

You’ll see silver moon set the sky aglow.
