Long Untangling Poems

Date:   April  2046

In Damian's mansion the twins
Justin and Jordan were preparing 
To celebrate their 15th birthday.
Damian and his older brother 
Carter Junior were talking in the 
Dining room. CJ said, I bought...

Washed ashore on the lost island

Skin already peeling on the beach

Burning from the hot green summer sun

Meat melting off to become bone

Jumping back into the water

Cooling off with the clams and fish 

Washing the sand...

“since thoughts speak in past tenses,
drop mind, rely on senses,
embracing and releasing,
pain pangs and pleasure pleasing” ~ Unseeking Seeker

and the ether
undresses corseted ruminations,

I rise from the white-wine siesta,
letting go of the serpentine songs,
like a crimson-winged dragonfly
lost in the poppy prairies of Persephone,
untangling my prisoned heart
chained by the churning
deceit of Hades’s immortal chains,
savoring pomegranate promises,
pirouetting through petrichor nirvana,
as...

Nonsense==> Time consuming is an interesting concept
To me anyway, as I'm terming myself a time stealer
The hours just disappear in my company
It would be quite wonderful to see that as a positive
The majority don't notice...

Every time I get happy
the Nana-Hex 
comes through.
A dog's canines 
change into chainsaws,
toothpicks turn into knives,
coral reefs diverge into dirty sponges,
a sandcastle into a mausoleum,
a soldier-ant burrows deeper
into my borrowed grave,
reveille trumpets tap 
a tip-toed...

In the late summer's embrace, I find solace.
Bathing in the sun's warmth—nature's grace
The world apricates, as I do in kind,
A symbiotic peace, an eternal bind

Two silhouettes tested harsh jazz,
Waltzing in the field,...

Look  for the ancient pathway
Where the path breathes with life at every sacred step;
Heaving and yearning, 
gradually freeing our souls;
untwining and untangling even the ugliest knots. 
Until all we seek is Your  face,
And...

We were kids, we had our squabbles 
I'd have a fit, and run to tattle
A few disputes, a fib, a shout
Until mom would come to sort it out

Untangling kids she'd gladly strangle...
She'd send us off,...

The streetlights flickered as she walked, her shadow trailing behind.
Her breath visible in the cold air, each step a muffled echo on the
empty pavement. The city slept, unaware of her thoughts unraveling,
untangling themselves from the...

When memories melt like sunset skies,
mirroring my thoughts,
slipping into the salt-dipped
skin of the deep, warm ocean,
I drink from the stardust chalice
of your unspoken sonnets,

steeping me in...

You and your pliant touch lit me up, there my diva, morn.
After the shower, your wet hair and your braid, in trying untangling
Humble effort, down to earth

"Notes on a Wrist" 

the pulse felt
under nibs
of fingertips
translates a life

the semicolan
stretches like 
the devil
hungers 

it can 
wait a long time
eternally feeding you
drip by drip

ever present
the missing 
hovers, like a  
hummingbird

never sits

beak and feet...

In my dream I lived on the edge of the future
Untangling the schemes and webs of the past
I sought out the leaders of nations that reigned
with havoc, division, hatred and blame
 
I gathered the cannons,...
