Long Tenable Poems

I was chatting with a friend the other day when I suddenly realized I’d missed a good chunk of the conversation. My brain jumped off the focus train without my being aware of it and...

Please do not weep for me!

(alternately titled: dost newt expend
precious tears toward pitiful poet!)

Intense passion to read
doth foster divine enlightenment...

Also simultaneously, albeit instantaneously
triggering brutal mind-numbing self awareness
starkly underscoring how existence (mine)
devoid scant trace
positive life enhancing...

The new 950-ton bridge would beat
down time dashing to classes cheat
ting vulnerability asper thick traffic 
     putting life at risk, 
     thus laudatory alternative
 
     intending to offer Sweetwater 
     to last a lifetime would...

Martin,
Not the German patrician, his vision was a stair
But our own peaceful prince
Well he invoked you
And not by calling Samuel back from the dead
He invoked you as seeker
He invoked as our searcher
For history, he said,...

Horse


Sixteen point three hands high sparkled with sparkles
with a sparkling bay colour covering his coat
shimmering in even the darkest of the darkles
every part of him had a shimmering mote
a white mane that shines with shinning...

December 25th-  The Christmas Wedding

Head-to-head,
Surrounded by seasonal silver bells
Scarlet passionate pink poinsettias sit
Foliage scenery 
Entwined by Christmas and Wedding bliss
Frosty winter weather warmed up by:
Rings of “I Do!”

The eyes of Eve hide underneath a...

" Milk & Bananas "

Hmmmmmmm~ Thought Tea ??
Does this blend require lemon a'plenty?
Or shall it find lime more then amenable?
Shall such cup as is drunk from thus be dainty?
Or should we drink from whichever we...

Let us use our diverse tools 
to build hope in their hearts. 
Like opulent homes 
developed with care, 
We must take the time to 
create a strong foundation 
in young lives bursting with 
potential. For...

I have considered at some length, the incronvertible
Evidence of malignant intent also conspiracy to end
Lives of those oblivious to, and devoid of any ill intent to others (murder by any other term)
I am enraged..Which beleive...

I get pretty disillusioned with petty illustrations
Expressing lush lifestyle of unattainable wealth tenable to a select few
I get pretty flustered with beautiful posters
Impersonating as the real deal, imposing, intimidating with a candid sly smile

I get...

You were exceptional 
among the ancient Indian emperors
with vast learning,
yet your silhouette stands
under the signboard, 	
engraved with ‘Intelligent Fool’, 
in the recess of history. 

It was tenable 
to transfer the capital
to the thorax of your...

The illicit flames of cajole will wane like an impetuous act of wind.
Annul with impervious aplomb
Waxing perspicacious avenues
Clearing the nebulous
The schism extricate judicious clarity
Vicarious envoy
Omnious stance
Intrinsic string of which I now belong accrues each dawn
Tenable...

like retching up food poison
until there's nothing left to 
take or give
you want rid of the destruction
that never should have been
and thirst for what was 
meant to be
but it's all poison now
you have no immunity...

If all you need to ask, "Is beauty truth?"
It isn't much you need to know on earth.
It's less than what appraisers say it's worth,
This jar with frieze depicting frozen youth.

Curators and collectors both agree
If forged...

Sometimes in a black-veiled night
When sleep eludes my frame.
My mind succumbs to fright
Of things too wretched to name.

I ponder the possible eventualities,
"What if this?"  "What if that?"
They seem to be tenable realities,
And I am...

There is no understanding;
Suicide is the final act of an individual,
Who has reached a point where life
Is no longer tenable.
To ask Why? Is to imagine there is sense
In this finality.
To speculate on the state of...
