Long Unloosed Poems

I heard the dreadful Dryad's scream
As axe bit into woody flesh
The sap oozed out as scented cream
My veins stood out in rictal mesh

My wits all scrambled left me quick
My hands and face were full a-sweat
My...

In an old vineyard 
When Jesus was just a lamb 
His coat eight years old 
Working with the chaste Joseph 
His father and guide 
As the beloved Mary 
Kneeled and prayed to God 
In their...

Pick up the plaid skirt curly,
ride to the rave party on the down low
Sneak out the lame pimple place early,
take the cutie to the Hush Hush ‘Mo ‘Mo
Trying to act playa Romeo ... like he...

THE BLOOD MOON

In the crimson illusions of the blood moon,
The creatures of the night howl and swoon,
As the cursed emerge from hallows of the cryptic
Shadow realm, for it is the devil’s night, of incantations
Mystic spells,...

Sand only looked to alight,
find some alone-time in the muck
no fuss was meant, it is only a space
as big as a grain taken, escaping its identical
brethren of billions on the sea floor.

Oyster only opened his...

Sweet Spot

On the ever shifting sands of time
The spectrum of human action balances 
On a fulcrum between extremes:
Total government and tyranny on the Left
Zero government and anarchy on the Right,
Two ways that on paper may...

Thrust in the center of the storm
All I could see was You
My deepest fears had been born
My sanity like strings unloosed 

Nerves unglued by life events
Perhaps this broke my mind
Strapped to a bed I no...

this is the month that cannot breathe… 
in the spine of night 
a blue cold wind 
caragana roar the heart unloosed 
and full of hell 
swallows the silence
and all that is the fierce orbit

I heard it from an anvil
the metal brookside churning
and fire brass inferno
that later took my silence inside a broken shadow
I heard it from an anvil
he spoke of words unweilding
like protozoa brooding
and elvin skin and tatoo...

Drifting

Drifting here, mongst would be demons,
Cursing all who come their way,
Laughing how its computer, feeds one,
Smouldering thoughts be yours today,
Damaged minds, so full of hate,
Working making misery,
Oh I can upset you in the thousands,
Makes me...

Parable

I just want to come before you brother
And tell you a story
Expound on a moral glory
Lord let your word fit my mouth
Convey intended meaning
Making it plain
Christ unloosed the chains
That bind me down
Jesus found that He...

English sonnet

I ponder him who pledged to me his troth.
Our marriage came to shreds with pressure wrought.
He saved each tangled ravel, wove new cloth,
resuming our design with errors naught.

Haphazard doubts occurred which caused some snarls
of...

I caught a glimpse of the muse today
ahead in a crowd
coy smile turned my way
in an instant gone
spot of color in a monochrome fray
my heart, for an instant, forgot to beat
teeth catch my shout to...

Crazy 2020

Up side out – downright up –clocks get surly;
Rivers flow north – time faints – Murphy’s Law scores;
Early runs late now late running early –
One and three just don’t make four anymore. 

Rosters crow...

Between the witching hour and saffron dawn,
When guileless hearts are peacefully asleep,
An evil prowls a wolf amidst the sheep,
With fangs as bloody daggers swithly drawn;

And erelong the warmth of blood shall spawn,
A frenzy thus unloosed...

Horton heard a Who
   Or Doo-wa-diddy see
One fish, two fish
   Slipped onto a dish
For that Sam-I-am
   That Sam-I-am
Who never ever liked
   Green Eggs and Ham
Since 'twas too...
