Long String along Poems

A tale of greed, power, 
deception, discrimination and 
love. 

Miller, daughter, king—
All the actors are present

for some reason. Summons a 
humble working man. 

Miller, shaken, scared,...

Sometime, someone somewhere was so passionate about someone!!!!

They met- it was fortune!
They liked- it was fantasy!
They loved- it was destiny!
They separated- it was tragedy!

How could she say him no?

Halloween Night 8/25/12

Night is coming fast,
I really want this night to last,
Halloween...Halloween,

Ghost, ghouls, muppets, angels,
Little witches practicing their spells,
Halloween...Halloween,

Cobwebs string along lumpy toads,
Halloween, Halloween,

Fog comes from no where,
Frankenstein and Dracula want your...

whose cousin’s mother’s sister
legalized love’s distant dream

with in on and beyond

a key hole of time’s future now
spooked bejesus out of bounds

when shoes string along
black wholes...

It Was Spring When I Met You. 

I met you in the spring,
When blue birds gather and sing,
With butterflies' wings fluttering,
Stirring above flower petals.

Our whole life's beings, in joy,
In full swing, of living things,
Amonst slices...

you may not be able to easily relate
what happens to me from time-to-time
a tale quite hard to assimilate
especially if you're so disinclined

I examine my cell phone for incoming 
checking my wait, in vibrate mode

What is it

You expect to see
When you string along
Verbs and gerunds to be?
Do you fancy yourself 
A poet in history divine?
Do you really believe
Your verse is in time?

What is it, do you want to 
Get...

So reader
Amaze me
With your interpretations of my soul
Those bleak enough to peel the onion dry
And gawk astonished at the
French-fried layers tasty and rubbed
With mesquite anger and lament
What worth do I carry
For your own contemplations
Pressed against...

My eyes are leaking more,  
my throat is kind of sore, 
my nose is runny 
like a captured and released, single witness 
that knows of the buildup.

Through shadow, with my heart

I tried to shake a sense of inner

But I kept up with you just the 
same

We string along, gaze to...

Cutting the caustic cordial,
Rearing a rabid recall.

Pardon the potion
When blind and blundering
We fathom the favourable foul.

String along the slug
When casually and crazed
We concede the caustic cordial.

Split the sauce
When tardily and turbulently
We receive...

Whatever I do, it is never enough
Or it always ends up being much too rough.
There is never any satisfaction
It always ends up just a fraction.

What does it take for me to succeed?
