Long Unsuspectingly Poems

Impossible mission to captcha infinitesimal moment

alternately titled: tick tock runneth amuck
seconds elapse imperceptibly 
leaving me dumbstruck,
how quickly fleeting tempus fugit; 
ofttimes imagined as time thief.

Hence following vignette: quiet as a mouse lurks the time thief...

New Year's Eve 2022

Yours truly riddled with social anxiety,
hence (billy me) he will idle away
December 31st, 2022 
sequestered (with the missus) 
hunkered down in his mancave
while madding crowd  
entertains reckons partition of time 
into...

Snoring bush pig
Relishing in  reverie like a hog
Trudge on day-dreaming
Wandering  beyond yonder
Think of no blunder in wonder-trance
Junking the Fourth Estate 
Jumping at the Fifth Columnist Estate

The men in trance  
Unsuspectingly saddled with...

My mind awakens
to this extravagant pull
  like being jerked
when standing to close
to a jet engine starting.

   mind diving
      for the feel of the...

I just can’t get away
It’s become so common and frequent 
That I find myself rejecting anything that makes sense
And even that confuses me
But I’m trying so hard
To...

At a corner table 
Of a poorly lit inn 

Her blouse pink 
The color of 
Sweet smelling roses 

She had no clue 
Who else was in the 
Tavern and did...

My wedding day is special because

I stalked the prey
baited the trap
lured her unsuspectingly
out of the thicket
into the openness of love.
Circled stealthily her resistance
creeping ever closer,
listening to the thunder
of her beating heart,
feasting on the scent
of her...

It’s unnerving how so easily
And nonchalantly I deviate 
Spin off in odd directions
Off on a tangent lose my path

Without roots and effortless
adrift I sway in the first passing wind
And let myself be carried away
By any...

Strung like beads  into a design that is precious
A collaboration of the senses and the mind
To the poet heart. the two...

I'm a wad of gum,
Waiting patiently
You're my lowly victim,
So unsuspectingly!

All gooey on a sidewalk,
Diggin' your classy shoes
A sticky treat is lurking,
And you don't have a clue!

I can see your sole,
I even know your size
SQUISH! I...

Lazy streams without a murmur
Flow silently stepping over rocks and pebbles
Carrying with them fish that merrily glide
Along muddy, shallow carved credentials
Of forest land.
Running waters meet a flourishing river
Where bigger fish enjoy the rush of waters
In...
