Long Unscrew Poems

(##background singers##)
Honestly, things are getting out of proportion (Do your part, man!)
Give me a portion of your love (a portion of your love)
You’re my ultimate luck, desire and devotion 
You’re as beloved and spectacular 
As...

Each time I try explaining how I feel about you
Paradise is the most beautiful sight...

Every drop won't be enough 
to bribe a heart that feels so much.
With every well dried to the bone

You warm my blood you'd be my crutch
Just take her...

ALAFFIA EVERYDAY COCONUT SHAMPOO

Yours truly (me)
just an ordinary primate from the human zoo,
who while ambling along
the boulevard of broken dreams on a Green Day
(just me and my shadow)
I experienced unexpected lionizing flattery
courtesy Pink Floyd,
he went...

Parachuted squirrels glide onto leaf piles and laugh at my heroic efforts
to keep them from taking apart my bird feeders.

With xylophonic fingers they lift the lids and unscrew until the feeders 
give up and fall...

I - Barley Pettigrew

I'll tell you a story, outstandingly true, 
of the young lad called Barley Pettigrew.
He was born with nine fingers on his hands.
For how high he could count, it met his demands.
You see,...

Our black is beautiful
It's not just a color 
It's us as a whole supporting each other
You don't know the magic 
The whispers of our name
Just like storms 
We have overcame 
People used us 
Abused us...

I am drawn to you as an alcoholic to a glass of whiskey, 
I lift you to my lips taking a simple sip, 
I pour you from the bottle I’ve enclosed you within, 
Without fail,
Another...

I’m on a nasty drug
Disguised as kindly beauty
You’d never find my dealer;
I’m the one who sells it to me

Yes, I’m the dealer of my love
Spilled those pills straight down my heart
I never feel I’ve had...

The songbirds are plentiful where I live in the middle of oaks
I had four birdfeeders, but white tail deer slammed into them
Until they broke into bits, for they were plastic and did not survive
As they...

Germany, 1964

In barracks bare of beauty
I lay restlessly in bed. Around, a rife
of lifeless characters
from some Saturday charade
sullenly invite me to their ghastly parade.
I merely pull my blanket higher up
and blatantly yell out "Shaddup!"
A spot...

Numb the pain is what I pursue
May take one may take a few
Need to forget the pain of losing you
Your love was my sanitys...

DepressionDo you ever feel that nobody cares?

That people walk past and do nothing but stare?

Depression is the deepest depths of dark

When your the bait, and the worlds a shark

When you look at my life I...

To pitch a B itch 
Mostly about those F-N...

CHOP SHOP

The Villages at Carver ate
Four tires and a steering wheel
Their hunger pangs would not abate
So they acquired plans to steal
 A screwdriver
And a wrench too
A steel hammer
Golf carts unscrew
The Villages at Carver hide
Its many...

In the centre of the silence, a giant fills the space
He carries but a trumpet and a battered old suitcase
I watched with baited breath, the street was dimly lit
He puts the case upon the ground...

Statements are the treats
To the spoken,
But to the intended;
They still might ill-treat.

The Dreamer still dreams-day dreams
To find his passion
In his day,
But realizes at  nights
That he spends his time in nothingness.
The Merchant says,
Where and...

Lower your soundless voice please!
Unscrew your mind to him my friend
For it seems they come in peace...

Here is your world, your managed little lives
Put up your walls and dodge your awkward...

Food packaging was once simple.
Ketchup came in a glass bottle
with a small cap that you unscrew.
Now we have plastic package new.

Man’s cleverness comes to the fore
to give ketchup a novel pour.
What clever gadgets we are...

Dr. Phil, that talk show host
Likes to talk; likes to boast
What he just said gives me the chills
Not about his patient’s ills
But about the time he and a friend
Snipped his manhood – comprehend?!
He’s wide awake...

(Quatrains in couplets) 



My pen gets stuck a lot at night 
I try and try to make it write 
Seems this pen is out of juice tonite 
And this muse has no pity of me...

I am feeling fraught,
And, stupid too,
I don't know what to do.
I need to open a screw-top bottle,
Which I am about to throttle.

Bottle tops and lids on things
Also, those with tin pull rings.
Exasperate me.

I feel useless...
