Long Unburied Poems

The orbiting host of a forenoon sky claims a sunny day. They are attributed for the better part of each year, primarily affecting the island's leeward side. On its windward side, periodic downpours from time...

This poem is too long for one submission so I have to split it up

THE KILLING TREE
Come gather children listen well
sit closer now to me
And hear the story I'm to tell 
about the killing tree

He has no grave
In the fields he lies
Unburied, in the fury of battle
He leaves behind his love
A love letter in his breast pocket
All to be added to the dust
There is no cross to mark his...

I KNOW SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS LOVE SONG

As she slowly slips away I say
Now every love song I ever hear seems written especially for her and i
Not a lover bared, bedded or wedded
Nor those...

As those inflicted by greed and corruption
become Angels of death stalking the land
with crimson flaming eyes
they search for those chosen to die
and fill their stomachs with satisfaction
to quench their thirst and hunger

The arguments are many...

Shadows

Silhouettes, shades of night
Obscure the hope, the heart, the right
Murky doubts, floating silent
Quiet as a mouse, abiding discreetly
Spiritually tumbling into the melancholic
Flames of a burning, breathless
Mourning, grief unburied, dreary
Dreading the moment… 
	Shoveling darkness over a...

My wife and I traveled here
To walk on water
With ice pics and an old shiver

The Mackinaw Straits
Where Huron and Michigan open their mouths
Kiss and hiss
Under the legs of the great suspension bridge

From which a high-rise...

A scarlet daydreamer marbled in blue velvet
marooned in confidence mired in yucky mucky chucks
Twas a heist at gunpoint to honor those petted   
I have brained the threshold and my mind turned to suds
On...

Someone who once loved me dearly
Now despises me.
In such small things are paved the roads to hell.
A turning away from grace.
A tail-spinning stumble down the stairs,
Hitting my head on my lofty ideals
On my mistaken belief...

Her country a war zone, where death was the king,
She held her baby in arms, left for unknown land,
Followed the crowd, and walked miles after miles, 
Hunger and thirst became curse, couldn't withstand.

Her baby cried,...

Behind my desk of daily duties I hide obliged,
blind in perceived intent in days debilitating me,
grinding relentless against my need to find meaning…
my bleeding mind leaning against my breaching heart,
preaching intent I cannot grasp.
I gasp...

Relationships are hard,
As soon as you think you can trust someone they remind you to keep up your guard,
Therefore you should always remember in this game of life to NEVER show your cards.

Relationships are scary,

 Waves crash against the ribcage of shore
  Where unburied bones play on the beach
   The dead swim in shallow pools beneath
    Lost Souls never finding their exit door

Fully Autumn
——————————
 A fine, clear creek
Trickling water 
Flows long on by,
As Earth presents 
Such a festive
Winding valley’s show.
Sun’s rays sigh.
Sprinkling lights shift nigh.
So sooner do feelings rise
To gift
Such a landscape with its due awe;
To sing...

She pounded the last nail into the lid of the coffin
The coffin that held her dream
She sat there for a while
In the silence
Thinking of all it had meant
What it was meant to be
Her dream
She threw...

i was just a kid the first time i met him
he borrowed my brand new wrist-rocket
and scampered off into the night, laughing like a ghoul
the sound of two young lovers on a beach, punctuated by...

I don't know where you came from.
But one day you walked up to me,
and I couldn't resist your smile,
It made me feel free.

I instantly took you into my heart.
Telling you, from the very start, my...

Gravestones in the park
Scary place when its dark
Empty plots marked by string
Morbid figures trying to sing
Pretty flowers dead or trying
Grace the path on which their lying
Scripted rocks with glowing paints
Must not be read if hearts...

FLANDERS LAMENTED

In NAM we watched rare shrapnel bloom
no fields of poppies marked our doom.
So trusting we marched forth to save
yielding grief’s flowers at every grave.
Those alive cannot console friends who lay
in forlorn peace through out...

A legendary dark, so thick,
A corrosive smog to my young eyes that itched,
My kid-glove skin crawled like the parasitic tick,
It felt as though my whole system glitched.

A welcome into the dark cave,
Exhilarating walk from the...

A thunderstorm was approaching in the wee hours
The sad phantasmagorical spirit loomed 
Beside the emaciated gentleman bed
Was his dead mistress unmistakable contours

The gloomy chamber was the forbidden love nest
For the treacherous and clandestine wencounters
Of the...

What have you given that I've taken away? 
A mixture of pain like feelings that twist.
Once we experienced, feeling's of heaven.
We were childlike and happy, yes even glad-hearted.

But our love like the wind it drifted...
