Long Uncured Poems

I’m in distress
I can’t express
How I feel deep down inside
This feeling is a terrible tide
How do I impress
Everyone here in excess?
I’m just here to simply abide
By God’s Law, I don’t subside

My tears are diamonds in...

Tears of forever echo in our years
over the lives of Haiti’s deaths
in debt we become overwhelmed with fear
deaths progeny inevitably un-done, born
the streaming blood of life’s prodigal matrix is done
a wholesome cocoon of chaos, calamity...

There was a jasmine in my neighbours garden
It grew across the fence
Perfect in beauty, white in inocense
Full of night balming fragrance
For my pain.
I could not resist the promise
Of happiness
I stole that jasmine sweet and mild
Then...

First Freeze

Aspen leaves quaking shivering
Beneath coats of freak September snow…

Gold sequins sparkle through a cloak of ice
New sunlight captures glitter
Captivates - no fool’s gold

Out of season – unexpected appearance –
Jack Frost’s second cousin
Sneaks up on...

If I could find a way to show you the words left unsaid,
From a time when it meant most, as we moved quickly ahead
Not knowing the dark curtain would fall upon us so suddenly
Burying all...

It doesn't seem to make a difference how many bottles I drained
What I smoked 
The medication I now take
The mask I wear upon my face
Nothing changes inside
Fast paced breathing
Clutching on to something
Never quite sure what...

In Bedzin and in Krakow they breathed in
What they denied in conscious thought or word.
The ashes of the Jews, the shades of skin

Penetrating lungs so deep within
The dead  unburied mixed, in air secured
In Bedzin...

Seeing your pain crucially torments me…
You asked me to kill you with love and sincerity.
My hands could never be lethal coz I am your cure.
Left me no option but still quite so unsure.

When they met, their pairing unlikely.
From two worlds, stories differed slightly.

Into the forest ahead they go 
He observes her, rosy cheeks aglow.

The pair ensconced in equal lushness, 
where the Redwoods grow, the moss touchless.

Streaks of...

It happened  all of a sudden 
My own village outgrowing its own space
With its sun bathing golden paddy spikes gone for good 
Usurped as they are by the murky canopies of rubber trees

Love is a song, sang by your soul
Through your heart
Once you start
To feel like a part
Of someone that makes you whole.

Love is a flame, that seldom dies
But is only obscured
By pain uncured
And can be matured
With...

The heart forgot how to Love
after many years of
Uncured
past traumas.

The Mind decided
to protect the heart in
a safe place and
it was placed in a secure vault.

The vault would open
for certain people and occasions.
Where expectations can be...

IN THE MIDST OF EVIL
I COME BACK FROM THE
BATHROOM INTO
MY BEDROOM 
IN THIS WITH CRAFT
PRACTICE SHELTER
I FELT A SATANIC SHAKE
IN THE FLOOR
THANK YOU JESUS FOR SHEDDING 
YOUR COVERING BLOOD
GOING BACK TO MY BED
SHAKING MY LEG

Clouds bursting on clouds from the uncured rain,
Where stemmed wicks snuff out flower smoke,
Fissures that droop so much deeper—
The air full of seed will burn out the storm.

Where stemmed wicks snuff out flower smoke,

Shear troubles make us realize
What‘s the real life's worth
O, dear Lord please! 
Have mercy on the earth.

We know mortality of souls
Yes we are mortals but
We pray thee, thy Beneficence
Life's door over us not shut.

Every soul...

Contradictions



Frosted eyes opaqued evanesence,
chilled bone soup luminescent.
Veracose veins, tight muscle tenses,
Awareness alert but unable to sense this.

Medical liquor uncured infection,
categorically diseased without no protection.
Split highway, wrong chose direction, 
a blue suit ordered ludicrous inspection.

Decision based...
