Long Uselessly Poems

Nemesis, Confrontation And The Rejoined Battle,
Now Completed


(Nemesis) - Part One

O'lord of blight dare thee to now abide
Leaving thy abode to earthen realm ride

How to attach a shower curtain...

I revisit rather than write from scratch
a poem crafted May twenty third

How to attach a shower curtain...

Suffering permanent anatomical
disfigurement, nonetheless
maintaining marital bliss
at steep price despite more or less
musculoskeletal dislocation,
I eagerly, readily willingly confess.

Ideal for someone whose height
trends toward above average
unless you don't object tilting
head back in...

What happened?

I bolt awake, the heat of the fire 
Still burning in my brain.

Oh, it was just a dream.

Or was it?  I look at my skin, 
Realize it’s black and bloody all at once
Cracked,...

Addictive The Butterfly

Stains and needles, an addiction shown,
Eternal my pain, this addiction grown.

In my blood, into this, and my veins,
I'll spill it all, the admirable stains,
See my hate, see my emotions, see my pain,
You may...

The cold silent room startles like a slap
Mouldy images stare back from the past
Prints are all she has now
Memories that still cling
To the old...

Semifinals won by each
The day of the finals is said
Boasting begins by the two groups 
Or supporters Two weeks to the march
Hummers for mansions
Cadillacs for damsels
One billion for one billion
Any price for any price
The day...

"A mess, a disarray, a chasm of chaos, - Sariputra thought, passing through mango trees, - an ecstasy of alliterations, which iambic pentameter as such represents none other than yet more...

The first expanse we crossed was called Delinquent Sea.
We trolled its murky depths with dreams of piracy.
Though landing swag with no regret, 
Contentment slithered through our net.
We squandered all our plundered booty wantonly.

The next gulf...

This excessive weight of the past
overwhelms me more than a swift
and impetuous river that never reaches
the remote sea I spot from miles; 
I wait in such a dire disappointment
and sobbing, I breathe silence,
holding off the...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So this is what they call anomie?
A grayness,
A blank,
All things devoid of beauty?
When the eternal arms,
Have left me to my own devices,
To toil in deaden land
To paint futile pictures?

I’m wading through waves, through fires
Surely to...

Still I trudge on to find you.
Still I search desperately to see you.
Still I hope uselessly to be near you.
Still I wander aimlessly in search of you.

I curse with all vengeance
the undeserved desperation
that fate chose me to bear;
and I've asked myself
if ever there would be a sudden death
to this so-called affliction and fear...

Will I endure this unneeded pain furthermore
and suffer uselessly...

Standing cautiously at  precipice, leaning 
backwards-looks down.
Sudden thrust, feet leave ground, heart 
pounding. He leaps.

He doesn't fall, reassuring earth beneath 
spoils adventure.
Heart craves-helpless feeling of fall, 
thrilling freedom & fear enslaved.
And fear enslaved rational...

Ignorance....

How is it...gifted with
abilities to reason
we can all remain so unaware...

How is it...gifted with
mental ability of logic

Even with our limited sense
of language and words to communicate
how do you describe in uncertain...

The clock hangs on the wall, dead
And unmoving. 
Its hands grasp silently at its black borders, 
Pulling uselessly at peeling black letters.
Analog?
Maybe, but it doesn’t matter.
The numbers blink with eyes made of lines. 

It’s out...

While breath-taking day by God was breaking

And could constantly hear people cheer

About His darling Son who is so dear.

I wear blinders of my own ignorant
Creation I stumble aimlessly albeit
Backwards into a pile heaped with 
The stench of her own devilish lust 
To feast upon my immortal weaknesses
