Long Unfamiliarity Poems

I am whatever you say I am...
but, let's get back to reality...

       Three short years ago, this room shined welcome mats across a screen of doldrums.
A place of unfamiliarity...

Do you remember a song from not too long ago
by a popular singer of the name Tommy Roe?
This man had many hit songs credited to his name.
Some were certified gold records that brought him much...

Deep within my heart a hollow resides,
A hidden love, concealed from prying eyes,
Its flames, like embers, burn softly and glow,
With no hope of flaring up from the faux.
Only in secret, do furtive eyes meet,
Forbidden yearnings,...

this town is a stranger, multiplied
both they and i, completely unknown
this motel is home, while i abide
home, yet i'm out of place, all alone

i find myself missing people that, most times

Second sight in some infants, short tenure belies
Unbiased newness unpicks societal manufacture
To passers by, lurking spiritual assets recognisable
Pervading expression classifies their clairvoyance

Such was toddling dandelion darling, Aubergine 
Unphased, observant, chillingly serene in nature
Cherubic smirk absorbed...

Another hidden gem
To the public, for free I give to them
In the face of business men

On top of the window stood a cross that shined
Beside a man that almost lost his mind
A lot of times

Back...

I sprung from fertile soil like a garden blossoming into a mosaic kaleidoscope of
vibrant colors

|that I no longer have the ability to see|

but I still feel the ghostly rose petals haunting my skin

Alyssa danced in the center of the 
empty historical ballroom.  
Imagining suitors standing in line
for one more waltz around the artistic 
ceramic tiled flooring.
Her dress, ivory full, swept the floor
as she turned and sauntered...

"Sometimes things only become clear when we are old enough to grasp what the universe is trying to tell us."   ~~The Poet~~


Had it been labelled charity?
Gazing at that star of clarity.

Watching it make...

They go to the beach 
beyond the big trees. 
 A salt march where the sound 
 tumbles around them.
 They walk through 
 their unfamiliarity and differences, 
 taking a hundred photographs. 
 Strange...

Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Pitter patter the surface of their planet.
Almost atomic in demeanor!
Though bulldozered many times over.
They mutilate, bleed,
Their infected flesh ooze with green.
 
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet,
Live their lives
Scavenging from...

The silence is deafening within 
the shadows of my heart 
Amongst waves of whispered 
emotions from the start 
Constantly awaiting confirmation, 
yes that I resisted
Unfamiliarity of a life without 
you has me twisted 
My surroundings...

I just needed to be
That young woman in the red, cable-knit cardigan one more time
Who mama had to make excuses for…
“She’s very intelligent.”
And there were silence and blank stares all around the table
I just needed...

UNFAMILIARITY
evolving
  exceptions
with unusual clarit
the
 night shifts
spanning
&deliberately
 posited
as a hybrids
form
 flaring

 in the
distant
  gloom
a
silhouette
 an
 alter ego
obscured
 visible
secretive

a sense
in a dreamy a
illusion
 recedes sharply
into the
distance
  vanishing
 beneath a
    yellow moon
glowing
  incandescent
distinctive
  primordial
abandoned
  separated

She's past the point in her healing process where her heart doesn't feel quite as tattered and raw.
She's used to the fact that her daily routine has changed, and has accepted that when her phone...

I was broken,
I decided to go,
I was down,
I decided to come,

I didn't mind the distance,
Neither the unfamiliarity with the place,
Or the costs it take,
I just want to run away,

And as I ran ,
I never thought...

I am a republican, i speak with utter certainty
I believe in my own facts, the press is my enemy
I support global warfare, paying for them warily
I support oil revenues, with climate killing clarity
I support big...

My past hides like a shadow from me.
My past hides like a shadow from me
As I pass through this hallway of time.
The open doors of my memories
Lead to nothing but thine eyes.
Those sparkling ruby orbs

If I had to explain to a child 
What is fear?
I could not 
I would not

But for the adult 
Fear is all too familiar 
Yet so unknown 
Transcendence is skewed

Fear is natural 
Yet it is...

In the Tranquil of night, I wake from dreams,
A sound, like glass, shattering at the where.
Quiet serenity or a deep wound
I try to hide, but can't escape it.

It's scary enough, being done
Falling into this deep...
