Long Unseasoned Poems

Have you chosen what you will become,
my son,
or will you become something yet unchosen?

Become?

How will you keep yourself gainfully occupied,
dare I speak of vocation?

Oh yes,
I will be absent.

Absent from…?

From you.
Absent from you.

My wisest son,
thank you...

 “looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was
I’m different now, though not without flaws
Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on
God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn” Unseeking Seeker

Such an interesting color, Rodger -
Green - like our mysterious calico eyes?
Yes?

You?
An idiot savant submits
into me - a blooming
garden of emerald delights? Like our
first encounter - regulated and raw (green).
Drawing our hunter-hued
curtains closed and tittering

My healthy right mind 
is not one likely to retain left brain
disparate details
more than elastic and interconnected trends.

So it has been with U.S. religious history recall.
I live immersed in impressions of indigenous communities
without investment in...

My life is untitled

Maybe because I have no direction. I am always stressing to keep with the group in fear of abandoning the safe shield from opinion. Shielding me from the choice of a goal...

I only be looking down now, looking inside myself now,

Though I posted the following poem 
(B)efore (C)ovid, a sense 
of glee donned my being 
the notion arose to trumpet anew
said literary handily crafted endeavor.

I stand, waiting, out of the dappled sun light.
Listening to the hollow timpani that is my 
stomach, the adrenalin coursing 
through my chest, telling me 'its time'

My neuronal switch 'clicks'. I am no longer
inert, I...

Love Rejoice Spirit

Create a life
Create by love 
Love holy yet sensual
Love hot and natural
Natural I call to you my love
Natural spawn toward earthen bounds
Bounds are the hearts and minds
Bounds where need to be untied
Untied are...

You played the game of thrones
with devious glee and amoral passion
Nothing was too low for you to stoop to
Your career-cutting teeth were honed
in staid institutions of medieval bastions
Ruling class initiations helped toughen you,
made you understand
the...

What was he thinking when he dropped
by shoelaces his unseasoned shoes?

Did they splash or plip-plop land on lake?
Did they sink like a pirate’s treasure or

was this considered treasonous, by land folk?
Oh, definitely would be, if...

Just imagine
this life
without music

Amidst reality of my life two single things remain 
inflection of your voice and glow of your tender eyes 
held safe by this memory we become transparent rain

Epigraph:

When Sailors go to Sea,
and seek distant lands.
As every man Knows,
The Reaper's at Hand.
So, that's how it Goes
and that's how it stands.
When Sailors go to Sea,
And seek Distant lands.

On thirty-foot waves,
Now rides their plight.
The scraps...

The house I wrote this poem in 
became an apartment for the ocean,
then a zoo for the innocently maladjusted,
then a garden for dreaming cats,
then floor-space - just floor space
to walk back and forth on. ...

Pumps my heart to see you take a 180 degree turn,
Lumpen and thinking of the wonders your acts had
done to me.
That a life is made sinning against the creator.
It came, yes it does of a...

Crying out in anguish.
Flesh, and blood, and voice! 
A cleansed soul left to dry! 
Such searing pain, such poise.
Gnashing waves rise, 
to salty eyes.
No mercy! 
No release shall fall! 
How shall she live, 
this wicked...

That kiss is still moving,

lips pursed, migrating in time
until my own lips pucker
sensing bubblegum lipstick.

That unseasoned taste of young lips

now wayfaring and rekindled
within a hundred mature women.

Landfalls, rainfalls, waterfalls,

all that falling into willing mouths
as if...

Overlaid you with blithe when you're in frown

Sprinkle of grit in the creases of faces terrestrial
Depravity aided by YouTube love advice tutorials
Doll eyes gloss lips curvaceous torso ubiquitous 
Entices spiceless meat frozen with unhappiness 

Piled minuscule crystals emenate white vibrance

The Pond was drained,
revealing umpteen minnows;
they wriggle in the residual water
turning in silvered arabesques
choregraphed by a water-rippling wind.

Large ocean-going gulls descend out of a troubled sky,
they walk among the writhing small fry
pluck out the little...

My love’s as hated as an April snow,
When newborn buds are touched by Winter’s kiss,
A barren stroke which grays all greens that grow,
An unrequited love which springs amiss. 
Unseasoned fancies must I put to sleep,
And...

Add some water
Bring to boil slowly
Condiments will come later
Dolloped desire dropped in
Edibles let her entice
Fresh with filled flavor
Grown lovingly at home
Heartily stirred to cooking
I read the recipe and see
Jelled images of repast
Kindly koshered believers
Larders of...

Out into the open,
gone an, cast away from thee.
Living the life I'm living,
needing to be: a chance to be.
Who's always understood me not,
feeling the price I pay.
I wander through the maze;
ever hindered by the day.
Oh,...
