Long Unceremonious Poems

The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep

His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious...

UNCEREMONIOUS CEREMONY

Will weaponized with wounded words,
Purpose unbound against all odds.
She shades shame showing sheer strength 
in the face of a situation of "Life & Death".
Eyes heated and heart blotted rashly,
He's hunted, his hands harmonised hastily
So...

How pretty this placid sea 
appears to everyone's eyes
in the quietest morning,
not a single sail challenging 
the surf of waves rambling;
do I hear a scream
of desperation arising
from the bluest depth? 

How somber is to stare

Naked to Nurture.  Naked, to Nurture.



Why not naked into woods?
We yank up gumboots.
Enshroud our piggies in wicking and itching sockbags.
Hoping to holdfast against the forfeiture of bought heat.

The city slickers in their shiny slickers
clasp...

It's been covered 
by that christmas tablecloth 
for years.
You remember... 
the one with the large poinsettia pattern 
directly in the middle, 
with the cranberry stains decorating 
sporadic spots along the border.

I almost forgot it was...

‘Twas a mellow evening overseen by a crescent moon
A ludic breeze playfully lurking above miles of glittery sand
A zillion stars out in full bloom commemorating a late June
I remember as if yesterday how you nervously...

Do you know what it’s like
To be required no more,
To be put out to grass,
To be kicked out the door,
To know your work’s ended,
No more will be done,
To be slung on the tip,
Pushed aside by...

We spent 15 years together and,
All I have is this stupid tattoo 
Wrecking balm can’t remove it 
'Cause you inked me thoroughly 
We didn’t know it’d go there 
Capturing magic out of thin air
I was...

I am a man 
I am the bearer of our name 
I am in part the maker of my fam 
I lead by behaviour and stature 
I lead with and not by fame 

I am...

Luscious night overseen by crescent moon
Playful ludic breeze toys with miles of sand
A zillion stars out in full bloom this June
T'was yesteryear nervous you took my hand

The charming way you were so chivalrous
Stories shared with...

In the shadow of the Second World War,
Fuehrer wanted to augment maritime power
and control the waters of the northern oceans. 
In the North Sea he proudly set sail Bismarck, 
the largest German battleship ever built.

A cloud without a sun
So dim, it sets the heart to burn
Across the wild redemption is heard
Awakening the unknown to be bared.

All around the drums of revolution is heard
Flashes and grey smear the end.
The rhythm...

unabashed anticipation
    unblemished appreciation
unbridled exhilaration
    uncensored imagination
unceremonious recreation
    unchartered exploration
uncomplicated communication
    unconfined aspiration
undreamt creation
    unfading veneration
unfathomable exaltation

Cool breezy swirl
Pregnant with rain;
Abrupt metaphor


Man walking dog
Faces so alike;
Harmonic motion


News flash
Warring fractions;
Lose-lose situation


Grass verge flowers
Unceremonious strands;
Beauty unnoticed


Old rubber tree
Nature's monument;
Wears a regal countenance


Sky of grey-black
Random lightning flash;
Nature re-decorating


Feline chorus 
Evening entertainment;
Midnight madness


Easy breezy
Zephyrs swirl...

An unceremonious finale
Where humbled, clean beginnings
Awaken as I continue my sleepwalk
Through it all
Evidence collected
Self-worth resurrected
Dusty pasts remain infected
Careful to traverse
The spotty crumbles
Jagged, pure and uninvited
Failures in their attempts
To lead me astray
Modest sustenance in a world
Vacant...
