Long Unpleasantries Poems

I refused to pick up this pen and vent the words etched in my mind
An invisible ball to float upon my thoughts like a sing a long as each letter forms a sentence I prolonged...

Avast emotional gulf manifested; courtesy
series of unfortunate events; sundered
biologically accorded, cherished, enshrined
paternal bond; resultant dereliction defies,
justifies, ratifies...dissonance; unbearable
hindsight excoriates impropriety reviewing

dirty deeds done dirt cheap; impossible mission
to excise indelibly etched psychological
impacted repercussions upon mine fountainhead;
weighing...

Dreamscape

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Camaraderie placates fools, nightfalls,
Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,
Whilst yon...

Smooth jazz playing
 on my car radio.
Finding myself reluctantly 
bobbing my head along
to the constant rhythm 
of the mild funk.
Reminding me of 
long car rides with dad, 
and being subjected 
to The WAVE radio station

Tables turn
And you’re that dreaded man
The table’s stacked
So high above your means
The table’s set
Without you being served
Neither fork nor knife 
No platter at your side
You’re uninvited 
At your own dinner

A two legged table
With no chair
Requires...

So I’m not looking good, you say 
From where you are sat
Well, let me tell you, sonny Jim
You’re not all that
I haven’t quite lived up to your
Lofty aspirations
A bit too old, a bit too poor
Too...

The contradiction of the rager
So youthfully endowed with unpleasantries
Of a child-man high in cumulus clouds
Stratospheres of anger that rain 
Down like spoiled fruit
Falling from the rotten vine
Futures of grandeur, illusions of manhood
Snuffed out by his...

What's a 'vacation,' anyway?
It should involve 'vacating' --
But need one vacate his place 
   of residence and 'go somewhere?'

Isn't it enough to vacate one's job
to rid oneself of the headaches, the
worries, the deadlines,...

In the midst of time and space are we at all of who we are
Drifting in the cosmos vaguely conscious within our soul
Aimlessly pointed we go
Weightless in space our former self with all of life’s...

PROCRASTINATION

Whence studying takes you where you don’t want to go...kicking and screaming in tantrum, lackadaisical, with need for cleansing and refreshment. Mind takes mini trails to anywhere. The task must be accomplished at some point...

It was a flash
and it was a bang
out of the night held sky
her electricity sang

tendrils to the touch 
tongued insurrection

and we were done

with unpleasantries

we walked effortlessly
out towards the sun

our back to the moon
and where we...
