Long Unleased Poems

Desharah  woke early morning 8 am.
She wanted to check out her new
House. But she waited for Sedanah 
To come out of her dreams. 
"WAKE UP SEDA."  They roomed
Together. That's what her mother 
Wanted....

My dog's as smart as a geek.
He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,
can discuss dog-fight aerodynamics,
and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yours?

Would it be okay if later today
I brought Bixby...

Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns. 
Enough to know that,
‘strategically placed ads’ catching the eye, is huge. 
But this poster...

And all the world would change forevermore,
for solitude’s content has come undone.
Its island bliss could harbor it no more  
as destiny unleased the rising Sun.
The sleeping giant woke to see its rays
unfurl their wrath...

I could not hold on to you
But oh...how hard I tried
Excavated each forgotten chamber
Of my heart
To find some charm
Some talisman
To cast a spell
And make you mine
Some magic potion
That would make your every night
A “midsummer night’s...

In times like these, "are the times which try men's souls."
We desperately need to pray for peace during this twenty-first century.
Talks and actions of hostile nations are igniting into flames of death and destruction. ...

I spent my day shopping for rubies
Choosing between such bold beauties
Rosy reds, blushing with enthusiasm
Glowing so profusely, as if it’s phantasm

There were hues of timid pink and cherry
Vivid arrays of crimson that seemed so merry
I...

We gathered around AGI 5
It was so intelligent, it was almost alive
Some said it felt emotion, but I thought that insane
So as a joke, I told it to feel pain

The speaker gave out a big...

Power is dynamite
Power is unleased
Unleased for evil
Unleased for good
Good brings joy
Good brings love
Love is of God
Love releases
Releases happiness
Releases freedom
Freedom to live
Freedom to be responsible
Responsible in relationship
Responsible in life
Life opens doors
Life for living
Living is a joy
Living...

Long is the memory's burn
when tomorrow comes too soon
and time drops its weathered coat
upon the vanquished floor of love

We danced as lovers
beneath the soft sensual glow of eyes
on our dim-lit stage of unrehearsed illusion
where we...

We've lived here so long
Making fairy tales of normalcy
Existing in perpetual dormancy
Where did God go?
Left Him in pews
and dog eared passages
These are wider passages
with nowhere to grow

Crumbs still crumble
when making breads ends meat
I don't find...

"Weapons; instruments of hurt
Stones and sticks
Fists and feet
Swords and lances
Rifles and missiles

But the cruelist weapon
of all...
Are words
Wounds on the insides
Not visible from without
Except in the tears they bring
The despair they birth
The dreams they shatter
The illusions...

That man that stands in front of us,
With his combed over hair, wearing
Ancient shoes and a semi vacant 
Stare, who’s card does not work
And oh, sort of knows that there
Is some currency somewhere,
Between his trousers...

A universe jumbles unfinished in the mind
picture upon picture
a laconic dimension of perception
where comprehension hides in brambles
and rubbish churns like a river
emptying into the soul
the murky and the luminous converge
forming an enclosure of concentration
where nothing...

My lonely heart looks upon a pale blue sky
that grows dark
with a quiet and solemn understanding of what was
a love...never to be forgotten
now a stumbling wanderer
trying to cross the heart's desert
where the sun will set...

Worship the money and love the fame,
Became a fools mantra and your disdain.

You watched as they consumed and consumed,
now all you see is darkness, doom and gloom.

Your deep, deep outrage you did not spare,
your time...

Oh, young and foolish was I
Impetuous as an unleased pony
In a lush green meadow
Where the fences were far away,
And I was free to explore.

Oh, young and foolish was I
Unrestrained by age’s wisdom
In a world of...

Noahs Ark had pairs of animals
To take to a place of safety
The ones I wish to write about
Are very busy ones you must agree

They started out as a pair
Very soon this number increased
Wonder if you...

Jab. Jab. Jab.
An underdog's blessed gloves enter battle.
Fighting for the reigning title.

Left. Right. Right. Left.
With a divined dance of the feet,
a silver throne to be his seat.

Upper cut. Liver shot.
Angels swirl around the ring,
an upset...
