Long Unwholesome Poems

Last evening I noticed another disconcerting Trump headline.

toward integrity of health and regenerative safety,
which I thought was front and center
in our...

I often read the poems of Ogden Nash,
whose humourous rhymes on many themes,
was motivation for my own poetic dreams.

Later when I took to reading Edgar Allen Poe,

This town was the place we used to call our haven 
You don’t remember which road we’ve driven on

Yours is my sacred non-zero soul
core center shared
within

Surrounded by your robust
fertile 
masculine energy

Not to exploit
and yet not too shy

Not too retractive
nor extractive,
equipoised

Anticipating
our cooperative re-investing,
powerfully ebbing
and succulently flowing
further enculturating future.

So, I do not cheat without you

On the stands beside the paths they yell that you make a choice; 
At the gates of bazaars both do cry hoarse and loud, 
And wonder how orderly the...

As blood hunting critters, applaud our woeful quivering
By fiendish fireworks and guns souls bleed
All for a dotty tenet; an eerie greed
To gratify such unwholesome belief
Hence, stir souls...

Have you met, good old Grandma Goodie, Goodie,
With her gingerbread house of sweets emporium,
Tasty treats unwholesome to eat, but oh in pleasures
Indulgence, she corners the market, the bitter,
To the sweet, with her delicious confectionery delights.

Food For The Gods 



We overload young flesh
With hordes of old meat!
We defile bodies so fresh
With unwholesome treat

We forsake healthy veggies
In pursuit of fat steaks
We re-direct our wages
Where Butchers’ knife hacks!

Not fats by many a...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake- Part Six

Awake! Dour Dreamer! And draw the curtain of benumbing clouds
Fairies hover by ears to whisper mantras dispelling doubts
Already unheeding magpies cluck rudely tongue-in-beak
And trans-continental flights from Orly pierce through...

STRANGER HOLDS UMBRELLA

Rhythmic ripples of an h2o body,
  smooth saunter of disciplined legs,
    shadow in the dark, headless apparition.
      umbrella held steady, with a dustless glove.

Overwhelming all the victims they can.

In their destruction of the glory of man.

Populated land of plenty
Yet hearts brimming with sin,
Dishonourable thoughts, unwholesome deeds
Blessings, provision, no gratitude thereof
The young mirrored such ways
Distaste all around, high and low, near and far
Preoccupied souls, distractions abound
Within such surroundings, righteousness remained
The remembrance...

Dislikes neighbors that’s nosy

Cooks from scratch not from a book
In cookbooks she never looks

If only hearts were larger than the mind.
Bleeding for what will never be.

To having sweet release from what I find.

No two paths the same, in this complex game 
There are journeys that cannot be understood

The last good days of innocence
are dying with the blood spilt soul,
going away when we cursed our existence
refusing to embrace sanctity.

The last good days of innocence,
are leaving with the guilty lies of deceit,
