Long Throwers Poems

Herpetologist meets actress (Cameron Diaz).
If he's funny he's me.
South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must:...

It was on a Sunday morning in the village where I stay
Out walking with my dog, I heard some pensioners say
Did you hear about the earthquake, it was somewhere in our State
No magnitude has ever...

Dear Mr president

I seem to be in a spot of bother,
Would you please grant me a pardon
before you depart the oval room,
 
Seeking a change of reality 
I ran away and joined the circus

The posters said tomorrow
At eleven on the dot
The Mishkin Brothers Circus
Would be here ....on this spot

There would be no carnival or midway
Just one tent and three rings
And all of the excitement
That a good old circus...

To the question of tolerance, I do so tolerate,
The ignorance of the sighted. not to see the hunger
Of their own brethren.

The ignorance of the wealthy, not to...

[Guitar instrumental intro]

I feel just like tinder
whenever you are around
you get to your sparking
and embers form around

I can't help but start glowing
you set me all on fire
you know it too those embers are for you

Acrobats in the center ring
Ballerina bears on balls and bicycles
Cavalcades of clowns with calliopes 
Dancing damsels in glittery corsets and tulle skirts
Elephants parade in wrinkled suits
Fire eaters flourish flames
Giants on stilts wave ribbons and flags
High...

You're bored, you say? Let's bring on the bears
and dance them around the ring.
You should learn how to juggle or fly a trapeze
'cause I'm sure bored by YOU, ding-a-ling.

You've nothing to do? Let's bring on...

Time is the fire in which we burn,
ripples of lava on inner landscapes,
eddies and swirls which twist
and turn.

Kerosene progress burns me now,
I feel 
the pain of sweet conflagration
dead cold and real.
Hypnotic the effect, I embrace
it’s...

Gained success and shinning in the world
There were issues, came straight or curled
As a pigeon fallen and bleeding on ground
But it recovered and flew around
We survived with a surrounding as a stormy dark desert
Which didn't...

"Stone Throwers, Love's Release"



Cages
come in all shapes
and sizes
all different ages

the ones
who circle their
little locked rooms
counting time
in calm rages 
steel bars 
dissolving lives
scream please 
release
pray for their 
safety daily

for daughters 
mothers
fathers
sons

Some never find
peace, freedom.
Love and kindness
somehow...

they say that
the traveling carnival
will visit our town soon
whether the weather
has been lately
somehow filled with gloom

and I'm just lurking
by the railway tracks
waiting for the ghostly train
and feel in my bones
that something wicked
is on it's sinister...

But today he saw her for the first time.
She walked his way 
Her smile and laugh carried across the field 

The field was freshly cut
The aroma...

The first drops of new monsoon knocked our doors,
Oh! The wet howling winds used to call us out,
To see the jolly frogs and dancing peacocks,
And to see the scattered beauty fell about.

Oh! The splendid summer...

head to head,
brunette and sugar blonde.
snow angels and soul mates.
cheekiness of wings,
as college students
only daydream into the sun kissed room.
the professor taps the glass
displaying a wry smile and a warning.

eye to eye,
blue sky peeks
into moss...

Curiosity came to visit
My mind the other day.
The disused farm shed was filled 
With boxes, bags, and bales of hay.

The boxes could have had anything,
Any type of something cool.
Dusty cans, old flame throwers
And an old...

UN soldiers fought and were forced to retreat
Behind sandbags protected by barbwire hoops.
Many GI's died as they held off attacks,
By 810,000 Communist troops.

Our guys used phosphorus, flame-throwers and napalm,
For without these weapons they could not...

The Unbiassed Media

Bombs rain on Gaza, the youth throw stones, the Israeli soldiers killed 
or maim stone throwers, a dance of death.
What do the leading media say? Not very much,
the Gazans must be partly blamed;...

Come one! Come all!
Come to Carnival!
Let us celebrate the Fall
and partake a small measure
in the pleasure
of this season,
a party for no reason,
save tomorrow we die!

Hear the cries of the party-goers
the bauble throwers,
forgetting for the moment...

Before the crowds entered in, 
Before the lights would uncover the stage 
The Ringmaster would stand and gaze. 

Such a wonderful sight as they would bring in the clowns 
Their colourful bicycles circling round and...

It is I,
Only able to 
Sit before
The mischievous screen
Of the TV 
And watch
Palestine, my country,
Fall like a
Corpse
On cold land
	
It is I,
Deemed
To observe
The homes and 
Lives of my
Brothers and sisters
Turn into ashes
On an embellished LG
Flat-screen

It is...
