Long Uncaught Poems

In the depths of nothingness, my love, a flower sprung from snows,
I dreamed of you as a splendor, an undying fire in the night, an eternal promise of beginning,
An ode in the whiteness that migrates,...

In the orchestra of being 
   life’s patterns emerge. 
Ancient voices resound / 
   as harmony sounds its surge. 
Music breathes life into the silent stars, Plato said, 
As heavenly tunes...

It's not about love, not about hate.
It's the promise of two that one can negate.
It's not about dark, not about light
It is about peace found after a fight.
It's not about courage, nor about fear
It's less...

Spring, the mischievous libertine,
Has twitched from the chrysalis of dull realities,
Sneaking, slyly, among norms and tasteless thoughts,
A live torch in the old auditoriums where science quivers with emotion.
With the gesture of a diva, she shatters...

When Jacob fled from Laban’s house,
He went with everything he had.
With Laban off and shearing sheep,
He set his face towards Gilead.

It was while Laban was away
That Rachel did a thing most odd:
While packing for escape...

"discarding narrow thought flow crutch
we learn directly by soft touch
and what we garner we relay
to the vast void in childlike play
entwined thus with the universe
we dance without need to rehearse"

Feeling free as an uncaught Christmas goose,
I left on a Valentine's Day with a Dear Bruce
Letter and a tie. Wonder why he kept it for years.
There were tears I took his children, but when he

In the depths of verses penned in ink and thought,
There lies a fear that lingers, unbesought.
To press delete, to erase what once was wrought,
But courage falters, leaving dreams uncaught.

Years have passed, yet still the words...

I am going to be the next Dr. Suess.
I can make things rhyme at the turn of a goose.
I am terrific at shaking people loose
Stand back man, I am enjoying my juice.

Hold up!  Maybe...

Someday............ 
This grey sky 
will become blue 
My grey sky, 
changing too 

My thoughts 
scattered like birds 
Kicked up autumn leaves, 
swirling around uncaught 

This knot,I cannot undo 
I cannot turn 
my stomach begins to...

Words like birds encircle clouds in altitudes and attitudes 
that stretch and strain my feelings to contain.
Atmospheres so thin they are denied their place, no words or birds in space.
The history of this world contained...

You don't have to worry about me 
I'm as light a  bird in the night sky
All your mean words,and nasty actions
don't give them a second thought
I haven't at all
Everything you got away with on...

At a time of wicked crying when our disappointment's there.
There's an anger building in our hearts demanding we don't care.
That a man could harm another for the chance to feed inane
for the shaming of another...

Let’s rhyme as if we can and could
uncaught poet's schnook traced and pushed.
Writing rhymes words fluent posed well N, good
Poet on the end of each sentence a hood and crook

Dear, Spring!


It's May! It's Spring! Sweet aromatic perfumes
Waft upon the breeze, conveying lusty thoughts
Of passion! Timid birds tweet beguiling croons!

It's May! It's Spring! Love seethes the air yet uncaught.
O' May! O' Spring! What stirrings rise...

There is nothing within these lines
The uncaught hand of the fallen
Nails digging into a palm 
That split second chance of connection, lost
Gravity and time pulling
As I scratch at smooth surfaces
Grab at missed holds
I couldn't have...

Today gives me an ethernal hurting
of the raging night, my moon had crashed
on the wings of flamingoes

While saying farewell to crying winds of the
creek when waves slapping sideways on crazy
shores of silence, another watchman of...

Before I knew of choice 
My God was still. 

This empty cup 
Far too fool to fill.

My eyes untrained to see, 
Were married to belief.

My heart sought other than itself 
To find relief.

This chambered heart...

Without caught exception,
a zero divisor, with no one the wiser,
deception

undetected;
divide by zero's end result:
wrecked id.

Uncaught,
adding insult:
naught.

Without caught exception,
divide by zero's end result:
naught.

The moon, the ever-unloving moon
has nothing to say, and yet
we write sonnets and odes to it
and hardly one poem to the noble toad.
Gentle endearing creatures they are
and they sing freely and for free
to that uncaring...

( I SEE SO MANY FACES )

How much would you pay for a smile today?
A few pleasant words will prepare the way.
A smile that’s unexpected will never be rejected,
A ‘Hi’ that’s quickly tossed will never...

Listening to your moans,
between broken stances of naked
stardust; we were afraid of each other.

In midnight blue of doubts
never asked for the voice;
it comes on its own if you shed the pain.

The hostility burns further:
the hunger,...
