Long Subsisted Poems

All we eat is elk meat, boiled elk, roasted elk, elk jerky
sometimes fried elk if we get bear or whale oil,
oh, and sometimes elk soup,
for four months we've subsisted exclusively on elk
except for occassional dog...

Aiiiii, Jimmy --
what shall we say, now that you've gone,

days later, in your filthy Mexican rooms,
amid the soiled...

'Twas a timeless and starless era of dense obscurity.
But there! a self-perpetuating luminary--the deity:
Being of old, the first around.
No one knows his age... those numbers abound.
His name subdivides into many.
He can be called by any.
This...

From Poland hailed your Uncle Max, who in matters of manners was a bit lax,
While from France came Aunt Belle, whom I thought was really quite swell.
Next up from Russia was Cousin Boris, whom I...

Valentine has come
in the smooth dispersal fragrance of the newest blooming flowers
in the thrilled embroidered wings of airborne butterflies
in the sweet songs of spring birds, in the voices of cuckoo 

Valentine has come
in the luminous...

I remember the dream of Austria
As the war for me was finally closing 
High in my turret upon the Sherman
I entered this mountain paradise at last
Until I reached the earthly gates of hell

Within those eyes...

Yesterday, playful children engaged with the outside    
Endlessly enjoying their midsummer day's ride    

Today, another car collision, stuck in traffic  
Overwhelm by the society’s demographics  

Tomorrow, weary...

The Blossoms Cleared Out


When she was alive
She talked about the good days
Pineapples and sugarcane
Wild and feral 
She worked in those fields long ago
As a native of Hawaii
And as a child growing up in paradise
She loved...

They assembled and gathered
Like they have done forever
One joining the other and another
Simple, friendly and smiling faces
Trotting calmly to catch the pace
Knowing destination will be exceeded
As the abundant will continue to drive
Weakened limbs energized by...

Once Earth was full of wild brutes, 
Hunting animals subsisted their livelihoods. 
Slowly, steadily they learnt upliftment, 
What we accepted later as civilisation. 

Today in this modernised world, 
We follow new-fashioned approaches and genres.

My affection for you
     Wholly unmeasured
I’ve breathed of you
     Precedingly
Before my eyes 
     Drank your quintessence
My love envisioned

lapis lazuli offered me 
protection,as I walked 
the land of the dead


being just half woman 
and the shadows puppet,
i subsisted in nowhere
for eons


my darkness ended
as a mirror of  light,
shone a course
to cross a river

Awakening from dreamy fantasies,
Equal to departing birds from their nest
When prime rays of sun wake up Earth.

Towards exploration of world,
Voyaging out of customary dwelling,
For explicit proficient life.

Forging purpose of composure,
Innumerable entities subsisted 
Just exceptional brought...

Goals Are The Legs Of Dreams
Written: by Miracle Man
January 30, 2021

then God enlightened me with this fact.
 Ambitions without goals would remain futile wishes,
and wishing would get me nowhere,...

as soon as I spill ink on paper
I can't stop it.
it's like filling 
recollections into the paper
Once subsisted or not


feels forgotten
to recollect the recollections once more
woebegoneness that I have been imbibing


from a to z,
from top...

his life had been exquisite
not a grain of worry in plain sight
when the sinkhole appeared
life was a beach and then he drowned

fully submerged he fell 
into the void of eternal time 
subsidence subsisted into
a labyrinth...
