Long Unruffled Poems

"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly 
of a ruinous pregnant cloud 
bilious with buxom promise

it came crashing down 
like school fish released 
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Don’t be fooled by me.
Don’t be fooled by the face I wear
for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
masks that I’m afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.

In its deliberate and unconcerned   ...

GHOST MIRRORS

Ghostly images captured within the prism of reflected light,
Ethereal waves rippling against reality’s framed surface
Of the translucent, as phantom hands press, slamming at
The fragile glass of dualities deadened zone of existence!
A sudden shimmering, in...

In numerous locales countrywide, they hold sway
Pirouetting at intervals like ballerinas from Bolshoi
Beauteous, feline and very feminine
Slender to the point of emaciation, not quite
Cultivating the undernourished look on a frugal diet
Decidedly austere for a longer...

"Petrichor "



Two minds 
have made an entrance
magnetic bodies electric
minions babble 
it’s just wasted white noise
sandpaper against back stories hit
The Wall of Wasted Time
He’s read most between the lines
He’s all hard hot and cool

Surrender, sweet Madonna, softly moaned, 
In the luscious bud the atoms groaned; 
Skin incandescent, hiding one 
Most beautiful, euphoric son.

Then laughing, knowing, out of sight 
Beneath the purple roof of night, 
Beneath a behemoth umbrella...

Though scattered, focus on short tasks.
Pro-actively,  with respect, and QUIET way.
If you're depressed, these are your circumstances.
There is nothing to gaze to if you exhausted the try.
 
Foray to unwind or do something pleasing...

Image: Cloud Fantasy, by Susan Lawrence

On spring's green carpet I repose, revitalizing the soul
passing slow minutes pondering the sky

The lake whispers a morning meditation
as memories abound of cloud fantasies
a thousand ships of condensation dreams

Broken by the yearnings
The feelings and the burnings
Through inequity, the imbalance
Two hearts, two souls, two hopes
Never given the impartiality,
The fairness, the equality – balanced
Joys, promises, peace… 

Broken by the partialities
The biases and prejudices, the favoritisms,
The...

My life stumbles in blunder pitfalls

Plunges my essence in darkness of torment.

A bunch of human beings,
Who claimed themselves, butterfly watchers,
Entered into a beautiful garden,
Filled with butterflies,
Of various colors, forms, shapes, structures, sizes…!
Observing and analyzing,
Diverse aspects of butterflies,
This was what, by way...
