Long Uncurled Poems

“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I...

eyes, down ...

at my yellow polo,
red spatters
so evenly placed that
they look unnatural -
as if printed,
but unfinished ... incomplete …
yeah ...

I can already hear the whispers
Before I open the door
Walking down the corridor
Fluorescent lights beam down
Illuminating, my faults

Some place somewhere,in nowhere
Oh! come dearly wind,come to the place and everywhere
Were it not bad of you to bend and bypass us in your haste
Eternal it would be-had love been bethrothe'
To the valley,slummed with valour...

Ten years past since Coyote deceased
The land became fruitful, with the help of a new priest
It was the time of the crescent moon
When the boys would be sent out across the desert dune
To kill a...

I open the door to pleasure, 
to see what I treasure. 
I walk slowly past, 
my hand trailing, 
looking at last, 
not failing 

This towering wall, 
is calling me, 
inviting me, 
planting the seed. 
Urging...

HELLO HEAVEN, HOW ARE YOU ANGEL

Princess Diana is dead!
What, have you heard, is it true,
How can it be, such a dread.
Yes, it’s true, put on your TV,
And you will see!
She died in a crash in...

We all claim to be the master of our own universe, yet fold under pressure of this small world. 
When we are forgotten and taken out of the spotlight, we are crushed by solitude.

She was taken by bears, that was the consensus,
dragged off in her sleeping bag; tracks confirmed.

Later the child was eaten, but not before she died of old age.

She lodged with the Grizzlies, growing sturdy, unusually...

Numberless now ...
Many, the years since then
When I uncurled my toes and reached thru soil
Pushed up and spread out

While beneath me the richness of the earth nourished
Spreading tendrils through the dark and damp
To give me...

She was taken by bears;
that was the unlikely consensus -
dragged off in her sleeping bag, 
tracks confirmed.

She lodged with the grizzlies, 
growing sturdy, unusually hirsute
for a human girl, 
but pretty in a wide-bottomed way.
Eventually she...

Parallel

Evening arrived scattering snowflakes,
I sought a solitary
Path
Through winter’s barren woods
Made magical this night
With glittering snow
Gracing every empty branch
Each twig
In the muffled silence of a downy dusk
And, thinking that I walked
Enfolded in the snowy twilight,
Only with...

Sensibilities shaped and slapped and stolen.   (aha)
I am indeed a borrowed man.
For where amongst my stirrings stand
priori grand?

Mission thwarted by a bell.
Noble tell.
Some soul such as mine
even, ever thus, declined.

Brokered deal appealed
in youthful...

living, struggling, life has funny ways...

Between it all my heart kept calling
Falling ever more in love with what IS
Write, in my sight and I came to a

Doors and windows in my world
Is like a vortex in my head
Floors and roofs in my life has been uncurled
In the matrix of my dread

You don’t see me...you don’t see me
We were like strangers in...

Parallel Footprints

Evening arrived scattering snowflakes, I sought a solitary path of footprints
In winter’s barren woods made magical this night with glittering snow 
Gracing every empty branch, each twig, in muffled silence of downy dusk.

The Unlocked Creaky Gate

The giant iron gate creaked 
At the touch of my feverish hands.
Without permission 
I unbolted the unlocked gate.
Sweaty forehead, numb hands,
Iced feet, my stomach tightened,
The palpitation of the heart 
Grew loud and...

A DIFFERENT DISTANCE

In the depth of my dreams I proceed
On a winding path to a mystical place
Although each world is mostly new
There’s always some hint of  similarity
Joyful and scary aim to achieve parity
Yet generally...

I pick a crumpled page,
from a basket of memories,
tucked in the corner of my old house,
they remind me of my bygone years,
sketched in crayons and rainbow colours!
a purple river with a yellow boat,
a green duck...

Surrounded by broken utopias I stand,
On a brave new world, in a brave new land.
Our Ford he was the man,
Who showed us the way we can:

Forget history, forget biology, forget morality,
Progress, progress, progress to our...

who has given himself to the world
he's endless in his beginnings
and left time for all uncurled

He's known to many as a savior
he gave his life without pause

My neighbors pot smells good
A herbal sweetness that lingers in the air
And then cloy the tongue 
With hunger deeper than love's desire
I smell the thyme, parsley, pepper
The onions and basil in coming supper

There was a time when freedom lived
She reached all parts of the world 
Like a soft wind 
Leaving the minds uncurled 
She was bold and proud 
People expressed their love to her aloud
All of her...
