Long Upping Poems

When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled

Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two...

Raid versus woe

Black flag(s) show up
on social media platforms
when potential homicidal maniac(s)
communicate(s) intent to strike
with ambush and ready
read - able, eager, and willing
to embark upon murderous rampage.

Prospective killer armed to the teeth
usually a young bucking...

but this is certainly not intended
to be an instrument of terror
except maybe for the habitual

and from whom I am occasionally rescued
speaking of which
it looks like time for my fairy godmother's...

We can go for dinner and have a discussion,
a bit of mass debating when we're done masticating.

If you come and eject fluid situations,
give it hard with the exact impact you lay shown,

My favorite President is yet to be
  He may well not go down in history
For he'll do what really needs to be done
  Antagonizing almost everyone under the sun

First he'll fix Social Security;...

Everything is too simple. 
Nothing is the way it seems. 
It has gotten to the point where I can't even think.
Constant dreams of ruthless killings.
Beatings, screaming, bloody murder.
Shall I take this any further?
The sun will...

Failure to come to a Complete Stop

Auto battery. 
Clicking.
Depleted energy.
Feeling grumpy, harried, 
Impatiently jump-start Kia.
Leave Mom’s neighborhood.
Octagonal, purely quintessential red sign taunts.

Yikes!

Extraneous white vehicle (undercover)...

By committing to nothing, one retains infinite options.
I have hid inside these words for moons and seasons and New Year’s toasts.
The lone wolf roams fertile pastures unfettered.
The thrill of the hunt.
The chase.
An empty bed is...

Morning

Having sighed a great sigh
He perused all his tools
From the mainsprings and tweezers
To the wheels and the jewels.

He removed the large case latch
From the pocket watch cover
To survey all the insides

Some see serenity in parity
Some seem open to disparity
An institution as old as the hills
Marriage is marked with unclarity 

Some people unable to think straight 
Champ at the bit, they just can’t wait

I awoke a clock and watched it countdown towards known silence,
I arose and given the floor the reason for its presence,
Day spent amidst the greenery moored to tawny sturdiness,

And I get way too loud when I hear the happy.  Sad, angry people frown at

And my hands hold on tight

Blast off and leave this planet
With every spin and turn

Sit them down and serve them well
Crystal cut glass, French Champagne

Place guilt across from regret
Whilst heartbreak and sin reacquaint
Thoughts starched up...

Words are only words til they are anchored to change,
Which shouldn't sound strange,
To those within range.

Mouthing just the words leaves lips still unaided,
And feet unmoved,
With mountains waiting to be changed.

Change only happens when there is...

Even though I’ve done only a minute

Oh god, I think I might vomit
