Long Unreserved Poems

Out in that sky, no one sleeps, not even the stars.

We are at the 24-hour late-nite diner

and they’re serving up fruit

from the plants growing out of the floor.

We watch bodies fall to the ground outside

A damp, dank odour pervades the saturated forest; pungent. acrid;
The stench an assault on the human senses:
Working subtly, slowly permeating every pore until it compromises the very heart of the forest.

Seeping easily between the debris;...

"This is dedicated to all who understand this. Whether we like it or not." -D.J.E.

I wasn’t gonna write this

But

Emotions are stirring high
Cannot believe
How much time has passed

Still feel your presence

Memories
Of the slowest death
Ever felt
Running parallel
To...

I see her, ecstatic under thundering skies, red flashed lightning
Long hair static, arms spread wide,
savoured downpour, dance.... exuberant

As if day becomes night, a crimson moon, tinted stars, painted clouds
Peering down, eclipsing fears and weaving enchantment
Her...

I know that I won’t forget you
Did you ever believe that I would?
What we had together was special:
Magical, and exceptionally good.
Even though it’s now over
And we have parted amicably
There is a little piece of you
That...

That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

(Christ's nature pictured in a little child.)



Should Christ desire his nature known,

 His manner so meek and mild.

 Could he not take one of his own,

 Reveal himself in a child?



 Wide eyed in faith...

Then was the time 

When life of contentment enveloped 
The expanse of the serene sky 
Where the flight was friendly without fear
As life flew like a free bird far and near.
 
When delight was found...

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Wow, this is cool.
Spectacular and groovy
So real to my intellect that I feel that I am a noetic ambiance.
Surreal and extroverted
I am unreserved.
I am spreading my wings to test the world.
See do...

TODAY’S WOMAN

A column can scaffold a back that is enervated.
We as women will burden ourselves with hate.
That is we will take on another’s disintegration.
All in that business is a mess.
It becomes our plight to fix.
We...

Nothing but have I upon this most
of auspicious moment to give

My total unreserved apologies and
resignation 

Unto who whatsoever anybody
tuning white noise out would
surely listen

But a steadfast random collection
of nondescript desperado proclamation

And utterances unlike anything
other than...

We're compelled to pause and ponder.

Almighty God, you are,

Astonishing displays of your great power.
Your name for us is...

I FELT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT


Heartbeats slow~to~rush, slow~to~rush in blue blithesome air,
faces spotlight the summer sun, their laughter notes: a choir of February flair.

When eyes match the brilliance of diamonds and cheeks bud like roses...

At Pearl Harbor I was a Second Class Gunner’s Mate, 
On the USS LCS(L)-53, it was my home straight, 
And we had radar picket duty with my proud gun,
Between Okinawa and Japan, my 20mm connon.

Unfortunately,...

Deprived life in the mundane dungeon bleak,
tries to find an escape route beyond the dark,
crafty mind constructs the wings of freedom.
The flight through the lower layers of self-belief
crashes in dire dejection on the sea of...

Maybe if I close my eyes long enough
this will all just disappear.
I’ll wake up to the eyes of God and
his voice whispering in my ear.
A dream,
this life, can be so cold and cruel.
A dose of...

Silent thunder borne of bliss ignition
The currents within, joyfully caper
Open secret of stillness in motion
Divine aligned, we need no translator

Sound of one hand clapping, dark void conquers
Our consciousness, joyous in cessation
Pure of heart, behold the...

His anger is as powerful as a thousand galloping horses coming straight at your chest!  I've been beaten. He suffocates.  He overwhelms and it takes days to recover. Exhaustion sets in as you...

A wonder she is like never before
In the hearts of all and even the poor
A woman so full of hugs and lore, 
To one, two and so many more.
Who can say less of her unreserved...

How easy do you trust
Does it depend on your 
Past
For me it’s no issue
With females or males
I have no time 
For petty details
I’ve never had a reason to doubt
If you give me one
I move on...

When will the cuts end?

An end to austerity seems further than the rainbow
And its dulling rays affect the nation
Increasing stress, pain and sleep deprivation
But it must be done they say

As if all will be well...

Another dreary journey down deaths highway
The daily life of cursed work
Outside Glasgows fair kiss
The free tv shows views as cars driven by the undead squeeze past
The grubby bus window that no one seems to use

Sometimes God will send people in your way
to either perk you up
wake you up from your stupor
or just pull you in the mood
My supervisor was just walking by
and all he said was "jingle bell, jingle...
