Long Stashes Poems

2/6/21

Since the Jurassic
Time continually passes
Animals and people smoking or eating different grasses
Staying active
Instead of remaining passive
The population now massive
I roll around solo or among the masses
Seeing it crystal clear, or it's fogging up my glasses
In...

The morning paper is everywhere, the breakfast dishes, are here and there
Her feet up in the easy chair, the old man in his underwear
The phone starts ringing loud and clear, so hubby quickly disappears
When he...

In cut throat fashion the sadist kindly applies the garrotte

The guitar is a bit out of tune and needed some tension

Two love birds in soft tune and no further strings attached


Lights nearly out and the...

Sweet music in my ears
When in my ears she whispers
You’ve been mine all along through your tears and fears
When super love instead of dwindling shines and breaks through, prospers

From her loving heart to mine
I pinch...

Doth it not thrill thee, Poet,
Dead and dust though thy art, 
To feel how I press thy singing 
Close to my heart? 

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,
my poems recite my plight.
As two souls mix...

Send him out of his mothers womb!
into a new moon of snare free engagements
fragrance seeps through his skin while animals fall from the cloudless sky
like rainstorms 
the animals send worms to pavement, as all things...

As dogs pant in sweltering humid air,
sweat drops morph into dewdrops as night cools.
Summer's sunshine smiles are no longer there,
for the children have returned to their schools,
abandoning their sandcastles and pools.

The leaves are slowly being...

Chicken, potatoes, and cold pumpkin pies
The food on the table is covered with flies

White ones and red ones and black ones and blue
Just look at that mountain of laundry to do

Dishes and pot lids and...

"You'll floss your teeth, you'll brush your teeth
Four times a day," he said.
"Hand over all those scary sweets
you hide under your bed.
They fight your teeth, they bite your teeth.
They give you gum diseases.
My pretty patient...

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...

Preferably, today will be a day of the reassess. 
We, as a whole, work to clear the street of progress.

The ailment appears as a refusal to...

They say opportunity comes with birth
I do believe it's true, 
However, human inspiration is never just for the few
Man makes his own luck, I've heard it said
Spoken with privilege from ones homestead 
Catchment areas are...

I am older now, my
body creaks, but it
remembers.
As if it happened
yesterday,
Walking through Camp
37, east of Dresden
Germany
Dark, sorrowful
overcast skies
Hang like a wash of
black ink

Rusted razor wire,
empty guard towers.
Sentinels to times
past, a reminder
Snow crunches like
ginger crackers
under my...

Squirrels are scampering over the back yard
Finding the stashes they missed during winter,
Looking very self-satisfied and accomplished
Tails shimmering, signs of mating energies.
Seems rather early to me, but they know
More than I about the approach of...

An aromatic whiff of evergreen
tickles my nose as I approach the woods.
And those scented breezes smell fresh and clean,
unlike the crowded city neighborhoods.

A pathway of pine needles and green moss
leads me to a grove of...

Sensory reveries float feathery,
Softly, through my summary treasuries.

There are flashes, small splashes
That wander in random dashes
Between my head and heart.
Some precious memory stashes
Often break dark and apart.
I will feed on photo books
Hoping repair requires but...

I feel so tired, so wasted, so tough;
But what I’m doing is good for me, although it can be rough.

Its times like these when morale collapses, 
And emotion flows out from tucked away stashes.

Autumn's breath is swiftly blowing
Trees and branches gently bowing
Leaves of red and yellow strowing
Over streets and gardens going

Leaves are turning, tumbling, showing
Autumn's breath is swiftly blowing
Orange and golden brightly glowing
Twirling, pausing, down they're flowing

Paths and...

stealing my

stashes under
mattresses and
door mats that
