Long Unwrinkled Poems

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be...

Ei-rian The Befallen

How is it did I know her name?
I ask myself still, since pass was the tranquil night
If I should sleep will I see her again?
To seek if a darken truth, be flourish light

Those...

I totally adore distance learning!
               I realize, it’s the best for me!

My jeans I’d wear, twirling in the air
the cousins, loved those kids; I’d
see them hardly ever, flying, laughing,
rising. Mother couldn’t understand
the wriggling out of the purple dress;
nails were temporarily permanent,
bought in Poughkeepsie, when it
was safe...

I've seen you through a past sunrise; sunshine. 
You are like heat, warm to indulge in
Identify you, connect with you, and more.
Living in a world that is filled with poetry 
Opening the skies is possible...

Demitrios the golden Spartan captain sets sail for Italy 
against the western wind; he will certainly mourn Piraeus,
and with sorrow-striken eyes, he'll invoke Poseidon. 
Then he'll depart carrying the long hunting horn.
The small vessel will...

In four days from today
I wish you well as you go, and you shall walk again
Through the shadow of the day
Where memory forever my spirit keep in chain
And you shall inhale once more
Jasmines naked and...

My explanation for my insecurity,
in a secure society might still not be clear to me.
Even though I’m status quo, 
my mirror still lies to me
I’m not who I see, 
its what I portray, 
its what...

Living the dream, in your teens, not hardly.
If you forever found yourself back in time
but with memories of all that is lost, and
find you cannot even locate your Valentine,
even with your good looks, shipshape body,

Flipped Hourglass

Bits of unwrinkled sand, harried ageless seconds,
Rush through a narrow neck
Pushing to birth
Moments of elegance or horror
Shoving aside other grains
Like words of regret flowing unrestricted
Into a ballet arabesque of transparent history 
Irretrievable
Uncatchable
Lost like a...

Creasing Out Happiness

My little luxuries of life I refuse to barter
With Solomon's or Queen Sheba's treasures
Its ecstasy bewitches and beguiles me
As pirates to laden vessels to surfeit

Scrubbed and freshened from bath salts
I prepare for my...

I thought you were lying beside me
I was so warm in your embrace , side
By side not a care in the world just you 
And me, king size bed, guy and girl

But when I awoke...

I look at my life like a piece of paper, as clean and smooth from the time it was produced
from it's maker. But, for evry negative event that I was afflicted with, a creese would...

we pull the car over
photo op for a toddler
a scintilla of snow

moments like this
a kiss from God

~

arms are  open wide
for a Vermont bouquet
a spectacular display of poppies

“honey, honey!
stop the car!”
i pose aunt and uncle

The next day,
Filled,
With the dreams,
Of uncompleted history,
Promises hope,
And time,
Except,
You have things to do,
Others need you,
Depending,
Requiring,
For their absolutes,
You are a means,
To their end,
A helpful partner,
To their process,
You drift,
Through the day,
The week,
The year,
Even the leaves,
Get their days,
Of...

Still Life For Words in G Major

Our slippery searching years peel away, 
From a central pulsating rind beating fast,
Which glistens like a deep sky beam of green fire,
Emitting unseen filaments with tiny balls of sap,
Crowning...

It seems ages since we met over your long, golden hair
an hour glass on the table keeping the meter.

It seems like too many dress up doll days when we played
take me to the river but...

Rain rushed in like a concert audience.
There’s nothing calm about Spring’s arrival.
The specter gusts regrets and survival,
Strip limbs for whips — a sore obedience.

A path cut through, a cold subservience.
The robin’s heavy breast with cheep...

FAR AWAY

shell necklaces tinkle
  palms and fingers tell a story
 awkward hips expound

humidity low in Waikiki
    the eighties so far away

     our garlands in our grasp
with cherub...

Intimate cushion of your embrace
Eyes open and cocoon was just a farce
Elapsed moment a dream
Present abode like any other place
Absent mortal impression on sheets unwrinkled
Madeup lodging, your absence more pellucid
Arrogance, an escort to rising phoenix
To...

Luxurious intentions looking for balance 
I crave purity in a world full of dust
Being reborn stirs up deja vu's
Relentless, Dark Evil throws  weights on my scale
Angels descend remolding my Soul...

Take these old hands into yours
remember how they felt when
they were unwrinkled and belonged
to a young girl.

Take this tired smile honey I know
you don't miss and see the temptation
of passion that even now old, burns...

Loveable unwrinkled witch had a lovely ho-ho-ho.
She got mixed up with her sister who was Santa’s wife.
Early dementia is no laughing matter, so….
We gave her a pass, but never let her use a knife.

We cut...
