Long Tie on Poems

Walk your Line 

A word to the blind:
From the day your first mount and ride
Till the moment you die
Walk your line
Walk proud and high
Through each and every wreck your stride unwinds
Walk your whole heart
spine upright
till...

I lay in my bed.
Thoughts come in waves.
When will it end?
The Dragon slain.

No amount of time.
No person, no thing.
Can change the fate,
That the needle brings.

Sights of Orange,
Delight my eyes.
I pick up a crystal,
And to no...

Billy Carts and Marbles

Yes, we all played marbles when we were just kids,
Had a big ‘Tom Bowler’ and a bag full of migs.
Held onto your marble with fingers and thumb
No fudging allowed, and your eye...

Mines the wonder
Living is an act of aggression. Every time I go out of the house it upsets the balance of the universe. Today I had someone tell me that things were coming undone, old...

I lie in bed, almost asleep,
But my mind has other ideas
And begins to mull over
Everything in my life!
Suddenly, I am wide awake.
I turn on my side and fluff my pillow
To get more comfortable.
I resolve not...

College party red cups  all across the room.
we caught each others eye.
Inbetween  dances  if eyes were a camera they'd 
be caught in zoom.

I know you came here with another guy.
Sixfoot four football...

She's oil in the water, that refuses to blend
With a hair tie on her wrist, embracing the wind

Pleasantly dowdy, breaking rules out of spite
Above laws and limitations.  She knows when she's right 

Don't go...

A LOST AFRICAN CHILD

You lost African child,
Who will find you in the wood?
What is your name and whose
Name are you bearing, your mother's or father's?
Do you know where your home town is?
Do you know that...

Career has developed huge glands
a surrogate, closing the eyes from loved ones.
Suit and tie on the pages of priority
sucking life away until age loses its lubricant.
Banks hold the candy, but only stored in the oceans

Rakhi to my brother



No distances can part
no bearing can breach ...

As tender strings of rakhi
I tie on my brother's wrist,
Send heartwarming wishes
to Illuminate those paths,
that we traversed together 
Holding each other's hands.

He reciprocates with a...

An absorbent allotment. And a pile of interestingly aligned vegetables is merely a soup pot in a ground. Garden then. Wow. Swooshing a washing basket. Swapping sunglasses for a basin bomb. And sausages form an...

In Britain, in Britain
The clock it is ticking
As people tend flowers
Or Q’s last for hours
And blood pumps and pounds
All in vain, 
Our time is misleading us,
The chase is deceiving us,
How! Does it all sit in...

what was my name? asked the passing wind,
how do i know... humming a song, the wind 
passes the wood hopping and jumping on the path

why am i standing here? asked the drifting cloud,
how do i...

Today I feel grounded, I'm missing my wings
Your hands feel so cool as they tie on my strings
With such a precision, you make the decision
Paramour's cage will become my prison
Where are you now when I...

I had a little mimic once when I was about twelve.
If my hair was in a ponytail, she would tie her hair in a ponytail.
If I was wearing an apron, she would tie on an...

Though young I am and small
A dragon I shall find
I'll tie on reins and ride around
For sure she will not mind

To seas of glass we'll go
Or to the shaded wood
She'll take me to a charming...

The first grade students, two by two,
Marched in to our applause, 
Their dressed-up outfits, top hats, too,
Gave all a smiling pause.

They danced the twist and cha cha slide,
All perfectly rehearsed,
Sang “Winter Wonderland” and “Frosty,”
Every child...

He's not just any chicken hawk,
He's very special to me.
With a hat on his head, a tie on his neck,
And some shoes on his little feet.

He's brown and tan, a little worn,
Well loved you might...

the little mice
that operate
traffic lights
recently went
on strike.

they said 
it was the working
conditions, 
but if we're 
being honest,
I think it was
because last
year the city
banned 
casual fridays.

have you ever
seen a mouse
try to put 
a tie on? It's...
