Long Unthinkingly Poems

Apology to the missus at nighttime...
first day of January
two thousand and twenty three.

While the wife then in the process
of leaving a telephone message
for our eldest daughter,
(on vacation, thus unreachable)
her cajoling tone of voice
beckoned, intimated, and...

I cannot forget Trayvon Martin - slain teen

no matter manifold more young people
unthinkingly killed, who spirits aspire
to ascend higher than a steeple.

revisited and slightly revised today
March 14th, 2021.

One deliberate shameful death,
whose demise linkedin
violent cessation of...

JAKE CASTLE’S - THE THRILL OF THINGS

Characterized by routine or superficiality, his mouth was full of draught when he spoke unthinkingly.
Awry was his eyes as he told of events that had transpired.
He laughed aloud with...

Nobody knows the grief in me 
Nobody knows the misery I feel 
Loneliness feels to be eternally destined for me

Where is that lady for me? 
But I guess I’m being a bit over zealous cause...

That three-dimensional solid so symmetrical, 
Suggests how life could be - understandable, 
With only six faces, all square for equal sides,  
And a formulae to describe what makes us stable.

This staple of stability is...

You hoped she'd be strong like an agave;
instead, she bruised easily like a rose,
feelings like silken petals carelessly
scattered along paths she finally chose.

Full of daydreams, she was given her room
to search until able to find...

THE CREATION OF POETRY
 
From deep inside simmering and covered 
with fragrant sauce, an imaginative dish will 
sometimes bubble up. 

I cover it with clever condiments, taste for flavor 
and serve it with anticipatory delight.
Afterwards,...

She cried and screamed what's wrong with me
I believe I'd sell my soul
To find out why this anger haunts me
Why do I lose control?

I always hurt the ones I care for
It's a battle every day
Do...

Just as we breathe 
With effortless ease
Automatically 
Unthinkingly
Let our reflex instinct
Be empowered & distinct
Radiating love divine
Seeking to align
All who we touch by sight
With thought in fond delight
Both alive & dead
In books or on internet read
All...

Pretense blinks unthinkingly
prominent neon sign
Promoting delicious wishes
heady aspirations primed

Porous ears absorb spiel
Charmed python entrancing rises
Web weaving traitor traps
victim with outlandish surprises

Silkily wrapped casualty constrained
unsuspecting pawn amusing lure
Deceipt's imminent death awards
trust's established pristine pure

Glitz will blitz...

I was appalled, no I was horrified
flipping through
the channels and I do it quickly
I saw the Steve something show on.

I could not understand the speech
of the whites
they obviously suffered from
some type

I don’t write pretty poetry.
Life’s just not like that.
Sometimes it’s high,
Sometimes it’s flat.
Love doesn’t run smoothly
For we are human and frail
And sometimes we succeed
Most of the time we fail.
We often hurt others
Though not meaning to
It’s...

CONSEQUENCES

The closer grow the trees, they more contend
To reach t’ward sky and seek the Sun they crave
Competing yet makes harmony in blend
Like soaring columns of a gothic nave

The meadow grasses now above waste high

There are too many of us.
Unyieldingly sane, unthinkingly sane, all too sane,
too few know this.
There may be enough,
there'll never be enough for you,
but we'll persist unfailing
because I need some of it too.
The City. Madness pretends...
