Long Sullies Poems

Do you really think, that I am going to trade my eternal soul,
for your bowl of germ infested puke? Think again!

O' sullen sullies of darkness....

How you often paint yourself so very innocent and pretty

While...

Dog Star

The clarity with which youthful vision perceives the world
Is increasingly fogged by the successive days of life.
Simple magnanimity is replaced by complex reservation.
Knowledge is replaced by uncertainty.
Hope is replaced by the leaden awareness of...

Once upon a time holly loosely based 
upon a true story 

There was a man who shall be called

A true Hero in every sense of the word

Or so we all we're...

It never is an easy ride
And I don't mean to deride, 
But your imaginative sense, 
Far exceeds experience.

Of course you must learn how to fight, 
Gird your pen for unmanned flight, 
By never making yourself...

In the hold tears are shackled
White eyes stare dark corners
Bare breasts hang limpid
Humanity dowsed in sewage

The slaver pitches, rolls
Each wave a fathom from home
Each trough a deeper despair
The screams and creaks in rhyme

Lost souls ghost...

Dust decays the minds remains,
sullies clarity while slow it stains-
Slow it stalls each calm refrain
scowls so deep my new disdain.

Cloudless day, yet chill surrounds,
then quiet falls upon the grounds-
Eases silence until all around
I’m lost among...

As the Sun sulks in a somber place,
flakes of alabaster mask His face.
And like banshees crying out all alone,
howling winds bring a chill to the bone.

Freezing temps take the fun out of play;
when blustery winds...

To always have control, 
Live on deserted isle 
No one to interrupt your sleep, 
No one to ever judge your smile. 

But give up your control
And hear words children sing,
You might just find a stranger's...

Guess Who?
Charles Johnson

Unwritten poems thirst and ache for love.
In the still, a heart takes flight--Guess who?
For one, a sweet besotted flame-- Guess who?
One finds the mind adrift with dreams of love.

With every glance, a secret...

Defeat creaming,
Around wet minds,
Blear noisy eyes.

Colors discolored,
Charred black. 
If white peeps,
Threatens to amend,
Erase the black
And bleach;
I choose.
Black needles,
Defeats white.

Naked cuts.
Does one run and flee?
Or hide?
Or yield?
Or wanting to loosen,
Fetter the knot closer? 

Prejudiced happiness.
Serves the...

The best artists are outlaws
Vandalizing our sanctity,
Our sanctimonious freight trains,
Our parsimonious neglect.

The best artists are culprits
Chiseling our school desks,
Scraping our bathroom stalls,
Doodling our notebooks.

Graffiti spray paints the struggle,
Scribbling defaces the pretense,
Defilement arrests the complacent,
Disfigurement sullies...

Cut open pomegranate Christmas lights aril
Syrup drips erupt bitter volcano alluvium ooze
Blackberry gall sullies crust creamy caramel
Chroma pervades pavlova cracks in lilac hues


North Pole prepared sugar sack, sans limit
Blizzard whip season removes several months

indescribable,
untranscribable ~ 
imbibable, your exotic, quixotic perfume
spiraled me into a quandary
of dirty laundry, penance,
no superintendents in attendance

I come from ragged boys, no poise,
just noise ~ a quiver of quavers,
no saviors of silence,
but if some sap...

How can we sleep tonight?
Distant thunder raids our land
How can we sleep on green?
Smoking heavens curse us
And earth takes us in
We see the flight of the night
Death sullies our door
The street is blurred outlines
And we...
