Long Unties Poems

he slipped into a dreamland
as the grass was turning brown
the king was in his castle
on the town he looked down
three men rode six horses
half of them for sale
and the undertaker hammers
down his last nail

the sun...

A body abandoned 
needs to mourns its last breath in death
a heart cast aside 
still aches to meet its last beat

and a free spirit yearns for a winged monarch moment 
to fly in the spirit...

Do you care to be a winner?
Would you fight on like a warrior?
Even when the chances get thinner?
Would you be strong like the superior?
Do you only wish to cross every border?
And so always input much...

I dedicate this poem to Thomas Cunningham,
who I admire for the tales he tells in poetry form. 

MUTINY

I stands at the bow
Proud to lead
I get the first catch
and splash
Pretense while I breathe
as if our lips...

I had a dream of you last night
I forgot which came first 
You or the dream of you 

People may think that I’m crazy
I sit at the same spot every weekend
Waiting for you to show...

A-	You measured me by my appearance and preconceived perceptions wondering if I fit the mold of black stereotypes;
B-	Your gaze holds a gesture of tired impatience and wonder of if I self-hate because my color of...

Little girl
Whats wrong with you
What makes you different
Then the rest of them
Is it how you look
Is it where you come from
Who your parents are
I know what makes you different
You only have a father
That is a...

It is now eleven at night
She waltzes into my tense bedroom
The owl looks with its eyes of light
Disappears the threatening doomsday gloom

About an hour or so ago
Collin from the Sub-atomic club
Visited our house and dealt...

THE BRIDE’S SONG
Reaching the market place 
My waist-bead snaps
My wrapper unties
	
Take the beads to my husband’s mother
	This wrapper I must tie again
	For life’s jewel must be hidden
Not left to the wishful stare 
	Of a watchful...

"There is nothing to fear, except the persistent refusal to find out the truth." Dorothy Thompson


In the middle of the dark night
Even in his heart, fear gripped the knight

There's a killer loose eating cereal
Whose dead...

Inhale
At this hour, I cannot see
What lay below, Beneath, Beside me.
As the earth turns, I can only feel.
As my heart mends, heals.
As I look above,
I simply wish to watch,
As earth dances under night’s light.
This moment...

Decades of memory's dancing around us
But sometimes love turns around and changes 
Turning what was once destiny into misery
Loves soft hands turn out to lash against us
Leading what was happy to sadness
Our emotions always lead...

It grieves me to witness our youth's demise,
Each day, each hour, another life unties.
Daughters, sons, announced dead, bereft,
In a world where cruelty has left.

What have we done to merit such woe,
To meet our end in...

Wipe away tears
Pouring from your aching heart
Whether in the present or in arrears
Cos letting tears depart

Paves the way for a brand new outlook
Away from dark thoughts
Where a somber spook
Trading in noughts

Creeps in wait
For souls who...

Paperless files prepared by pathetic people for patients never properly prevail
After the scanning is situated it seems their salary is second hand, sadly sadistic!
Nurses nurture but stick needles in arms nine times like a rusty...

Allow me to explain who she is
Before I get too far into this
She is the memory inside of the kiss
And so you don't have to guess the rest

She is the moment that you hold on

VERSE 1
One day I was lost in a world of sin;
Jesus came cleaned me up and took me in;
And right now I can say from this world of sin;

♥
I lay in bed at night
You entangled at my side
Palm upon your chest
Truth radiates beneath
Devotion's fingertips
Rhythmic heartbeats
Love's breeze
Gliding through strands of hair
♥
I lay awake
Hours
Can't seem to sleep
Your breath escapes
To dance across my soul
Your heart breaths
Inside...

A seed contains before it germinates or a sapling

each day we walk, slowly and leisurely, through our neighborhood
enjoying the sights of houses, purple, blue, yellow
gardens started and forgotten, left fallow for the fall,
to the grocery store.

We Bleed Out
By Sy Roth

Unbroken string of invective--
The world deserves it. 
It blurs our memories.

No need to sing its praises
When it undoes us,
Unties the laces that bind us
And drops us off at a station
Where work...
