Long Unnerve Poems

A Dark Identity

Days into nights... time without time
Normalities of everyday life beckons to remain
Shadows with lights.... to find to define
I am he who goes by without a name

The world is only up to date
And I’ve...

Ma,
Why do I need to apostrophize you? Why did you flew away into the celestial regions so earlier? Is it because you are from a land where ‘twenty is plenty’ for women? And hence, ignoring...

"go on" I dared myself
So I did
Booked an extra ticket for my Mum
"She'll love it" said my brain
"What if people break bones, you crash on the way, you forget the tickets, someone wears the wrong...

it's all about perspective
            illusion held in place, solidly
       visually suggestive of reality
   who are you...

The frigid metal against skin,
	My desperate ending without sin.
I hold it tight, poised over my wrist,
	I want to stop, but the knife insists.
Salty tears running down my cheeks,
	I apply pressure to the end I seek.

Corona virus sent to try us 
Unnerve  Confuse  deplete  divide us 
It comes to scare it comes to kill

It spreads it’s panic it spreads it’s fear

My guardian angel sleep how I honor thee,
Thy contrarian ways leave me breathless,
Thine art, the bearer of life’s synchronicity.

I am your vessel, a vassal on your highways,
Thou speakest in tongues, thy magic conveys,
Subtle shifts in...

THE DOVE

A bloody stain upon the sheets, how cruel!
Soulless weight of the wretched beast who’d rule.
With his bare paws and downward thrust he’d crush,
Rake over the virgin,...

Most local folk lore is intended to unnerve but
I think there's validity to the Haunted horse shoe curve.
The building of our nations rails took a terrible toll
on the Irish, the Chinese, and many other souls..

Do not steal from us the love and attention you and I deserve
Despite the way my innermost thoughts you paraphrase
Let us nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve.

In an attempt to establish an uncertain linkage between 2 parables,
Ivo Torena resorted to impress his colleagues all night long; hence,
awkward as a cow on a crutch, he was cowed into pilfering bananas,
and when he...

Green of the poison can invade deep
unnerve you and eat innards like creep
it sinks in slow from the injectible
which sinks in sharp like a stab.

Laugh,demur,smile,eyes roll
hand in hand and enthrall
sweet words and ready laugh
on all...

Anacondas crush to pieces
Bisons sport long shaggy hair
Cheetahs are the fastest species
Dolphins leap into the air
Elephants have large incisors
Fennec foxes, ears like Spock
Great white sharks unnerve the divers
Hyenas are laughing stock
Indris is a type of...

The feisty woman spewed torrential abuses
He holds her in his arms till her anger defuses  
To despair over her phobias he  simply refuses

Nightmares of being hated and unloved one day
Cloud her thoughts of...

Make you fall in the Blind

Life is about Difficulties, Face It

Life is an Obstacle, Hamper it

Some daysI feel it's time to move and
live by the sea, especially when the ghosts of
Altoona are haunting me..
Many cities in Pa., so rich in history,

They were hey days in their time.
It's no mystery...
This once-booming...

 Storm is fierce but I elect
To wend my way towards the beach
Clad in foul weather gear I suspect
'twill be a push to reach.

Down a path, that's far too long
Hampered by intemperate force
Under Sou'wester singing...

Someone recommends a book;
I put it on “Reserve.”
The list is often long enough
To actually unnerve.

Of course, I’m reading while I wait – 
A novel from the shelves,
For some just seem to call my name
To advertise...

Thrilled to the depths of my body and soul,
Time and wind had passed unseen,
Like an ice detached from a glacier,
It dwindled like a battered scream.

I'm befogged, benumbed and enfeebled,
An unalloyed ennui crept over me,
Leaving an...

A smithy peers into a white hot
Ingot formed square
Seeing the idea of a meaning
Form there
How many turns at the anvil
How many soakings
In the heat
Long sweating hours hammering
Out her beat
The shape of the curve
Coaxed, twisted
Unnerve
Rough forged
Dimpled...

I came across you 
as I stumbled through 
a darkened alley

shadows of the makeshift fire
shed light on your face

I wasn't sure if you were smiling or just 
trying to unnerve me 

after all it was...

I'm happy to have found the way;
I'm joyful for it's born the day
In which all jubilation is mine
And its attached to the truest vine
This meek branch of a prospered womb;
And though they unnerve the beckons...
