Long Uncherished Poems

When I entered the City Senior Center
with my Open Mic proposal
to increase resilience
and decrease apartheid dissonance

I could hear no music,
see no dancing.

The quilting room
and the game room,
even the pool tables,
were as quiet as the library,
which...

When I see and hear,
touch and feel,
something

Somewhere unwanted
someplace uncherished
egocentrism

Making alienating choices
that follow group win/lose competitive norms,
this constellation of nationalistic patriotism's
monoculturing beliefs
and unbeliefs,
anthroprivileged values
and disvalues,
provoke out-raging
hypocritical anger.

It is only in epic transition times
when climatic health and...

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it..."

Amber hues kissed twilight's platinum pigments that night,
beckoning ivory pearls to weave patterns of astral flames.

Your voice is trembling, 
I hear above the rafters. 
The silence that haunted yesterday, 
Is new pestilence, 
Birthing the lies that creep up behind you, 
When you tell yourself, "It's alright". 
The valleys and the...

My GreenLeft side

win/lose competing AngloPowers
for making money 
commodified
secularized MonoTheistic
world conquering views

Supporting GodGiven economic rights
to colonize sinners,
more easily divided
from the AnthroHerd
when not white
not straight
not male

While my RedRight inside
recovers from ancient wounds,
frightened
angry
disappointed
sacred sad absence

If we lost our lives for every mistake we made
We wouldn't make mistakes
So I'mma give them a break
Some say my soul may perish in flakes
So for now I'mma cherish these blue lakes
Later I'mma give them...

you've broken me in ways I can't recount
unloved, uncherished, and unsought am I
the anguish of my soul I can't surmount
the pounding of my heart an echoed, "Why?"

You were possessed, you were obsessed with me
the sun...

In the dull and lonely days
I hate to wake my soul up
from the bed of goofy thoughts 
as I see my hollow abdomen
refraining to produce hunger juices
and my eyes dripping the waters
of yesterday's blurry thoughts.
Windows...

the foreplay and afterglow
isforgotten in the show
of virility and might
so she cries into the night

She's uncherished and unsought
All his tenderness forgot
In the rush of passion's need
Fantasies remain....unfreed

She remembers yesteryear
When he clasped her, held her dear
Now...

Some emotions are so very deep…
They bubble at the surface in our hearts, like a delicious stew that incises the lonely traveler…
Love and passion are two of these intense emotions…
You can give them away and...

Lonesome gusts thrust their course
Through doleful hours of the night;
Every head eased and slumberous,
Except one that here inks its plight. 

Blissfully prostrate with remiss peace
Lapses every somnolent eye and ear;
Savoring stretches of boundless rest,
Apart from...

Everyone knows best
Said and spoken from heart
What's best felt is what's best kept
     Under wraps and sure not to leave mark
Penciled in and stenciled
This trace left evident
Charcoaled in and chiseled
This pain...

LOST LOVE

Love at first sight
Having thoughts you're Mr right
Emotions creeping in so tight

An angel of love to care
You turned to be seen rare
Coupling to the envy of others fear

At the peak of deep affection
Came angel...
