Somnambulant schlemiel schleps...and says Shalom...

to anonymous readers March 22nd, 2022
(blustery and chilly Tuesday)
reminiscing about mein kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within
emotional wilderness of mine.

Into lonely senescence -
more'n three plus decades 
plus three extra orbitz

...But with no drink to bring them enjoyment,
more folks went down to the music halls,
finding relief in the soft swoon of strings
that echoed out from within crafted walls.

It soon became so very popular
that many didn’t...

to anonymous readers March 6th, 2021
(blustery and chilly Saturday)
reminiscing about mien kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within
emotional wilderness of mine.

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation, abdication... unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating...

Do not tell me anymore of mythical mermaids lurking
In the fine gradient of the sea, eyes heavy with a snaring desire,
A monalisa smile framed on their faces or of

Sexy mermen and smiling salacious simpletons
To stereotype...

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating accumulation
of "baggage" thumb

of right hand thrust out
silently raving, quaking
cursing ultimatum parents
(soffit to fascia in)
saw fit to fashion
and hammer home

red hot poker rage
their...

Anguished pained introvertedness
choked, immobilized, paralyzed...
rigor mortis frozen state held sway
over mine adolescent body as if...
scared to death upon unavoidable
close encounter (perhaps maybe

third time within same number of
days), sans wretched mortified
inevitable orbit, this bodily Earth-
ling on...

Gonna stop, and think a few
Expose what I'm committed to
Take a closer look, and see
What it is that's running me?

Let me introduce myself
Fun and friendly, hooked on health
Generous as you could wish
And considered quite a...

She peeks 
around a corner 
to spit a seed at me  in my dreams  
then turns her head  
pretending not to know 
of it
sometimes she 
is in the body of

Mr. Butcher, the undertaker, did a capital job of laying old Cheatum out,
Though he had to cram him in the casket since the senator was rather stout!
During the viewing, folks marveled at Mortician Butcher's cosmetic...

Love you're
the first
lighthouse
with a bright beacon
that shines across
this ocean 

Carved into foundations
chiseled within emotions
plastered covered feelings
etched in stone
Climbing each step
a winding staircase
one skyscraper
heading towards
the Heaven's

A lofty 
tower built
standing tallest
rising from
out of the ground
one kingdom
White stone...

They said he had no heart at all
They said he felt no pain
The stone-faced man just gave the facts
No feelings would he feign

He talked of floods and accidents
He spoke of deadly quakes
There were reports of...

I watched the snow on the
mountain tops turn to liquid gold
as the sun set swiftly
as if fleeing from the cold.

So black was the night that
the peaks just disappeared
and everywhere was stillness
as the wraiths of night...

Young Soul

Dear young soul who stole your smile that you go around stone faced like one who wears the weight of the world holding you down.  Where is the joy that once filled you...

Beneath a columned structure people watch
     As man and beast compete in a deadly match
        Soon the drama  before them will unfold

Look at your hands.
Tell me the stories they would tell.
Will they speak of the deeds you have done??,
the good, the bad, 
the decisions they've pondered,
the wonders.
Eyes caught in stone-faced modes 
while being next to chins,...

Rogue and destitute, 
In dreamlessness I drift
Stolen by the numbness of routine
I lack your acceptance; I crave the pristine

Your pivoting words both lull and dull me
I harden day by day in its power
Though inside, the...

Shoved on the stone cold floor
Thrown into a hard wood door
Slapped in the face
And given no grace
Strangled by his hands at the throat
As he smiles and begins to gloat
Blood and tears stream down
As he runs...

To a tattered-clothed monster, the city of lights looked so dim,
only stone-faced gargoyles never grimmaced at the sight of him,
everyday, with hideous cries of horror, voices rose and rang out,
it may have been his tears...

In ancient cities and times,
kings, rulers and their often-faceless consorts,
were exalted in marble statuary,
yet
so much of those effigies
now remain headless.

Those bygone exalted figures
have lost their heads,
(or occasionally the odd arm).
I ask myself,
where did all their...

Rivulets of raindrops cut tributary streams
On the panes of the windows, running freely they cling
Stone faced and staring, motor skills corrode
Just snippets of memories in unbreakable code

Rumbles of thunder, sudden flashes of light
Draw no response...

Time
Stone-faced clock with big black hands
Circling the face time and time again
The second-hand rolls by a recurring space
Never touching the clock with the concrete face
Twenty-four hours slowly slide by
Not to be changed regardless of tries

I saw a woman brought to her knees by the death of a child so sweet; her pleas have no bearing in this cruel world.

Just 3 years old and hair of orange gold she was...

One by one your bones are stacked,
to hold back Mother Nature.
Or as a need for privacy,
a man made stone enclosure.

You turn a graceful curve around,
a walkway or a drive.
At times you are snap-line straight.
A Canvas...
