Long Venerating Poems

The title,
How the West Came to Rule,
disturbs me enough to continue reading,
like wanting to escape a nightmare
but too fear frozen with why it could never truly end well
to stop dreaming.
In this case,
is to stop reading.

I'm...

-For Justin Bordner’s contest


I long worshiped heartbreak,
From afar, often, though through the lenses, ceaselessly…
I drew ribbons in the midnight sky with the silken trinkets of sorrow
Riding in the dark with the sound of our silent...

Framed by moonlight,
Neither sunlit consciousness nor death's aegis,
Will come between our union tonight,
For I can no longer deny myself the happiness they promise,
Every creak in the floorboard and fluttering of my heart is talking,
Urging me...

love …

a crutch for you
but you wear it like a Prada suit
matching handbag, of course, to keep
your toys in …
(mostly men … alphabetically)
six-inch Blahnik stilettos for crushing
egos with similar style
but not via hearts -
straight through...

Thee United States bedrock foundation 
built upon premises sans, 
Greco-Roman template, 
whence freedoms as liberty, 
life, and pursuit of happiness 

revered as constituent concepts, 
precepts, and tenets, 
within which complex edifice

Axed dent of circumstances
finds yours truly liberated,
whereby no obligatory constraints
obliges forcible adherence
synchronizing Circadian rhythm

forcibly linkedin within paradigm
minutely crafting, daisy chaining
involuntarily ceding cradle to grave

...under oak, poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.
Hosea 4:13b (NIV)

WHERE THE SHADE IS PLEASANT

Let’s gather daughters and sons
into the complacent shade,
arrest our minds
with shady thoughts.

Meditate of mindful things,
writhing and diamond rings
— noses poked, like...

stating that a body at rest

Oh! how gems sparkle from glinted morning dew
Wooing your view, amber rays peeking through, 
Enamoring jubilation as missives of love I renew
On halo of golden sun inscribing ovations anew 
Blushing purple hues, scintillating skyline blue,
Venerating...

No, she said, it just wasn’t worth a try.
Her life, she said, it must come to an end.
Goddess Latona of the darkness said goodbye.
Mother enigmatic could no longer pretend. 
Her children caught in advancing adulthood,

Can we be more human?
A splendid idea came into a man’s mind,
Let’s make something to connect folks,
And this is how social media flourished.
Social media has lots and lots of pros,
But only if one knows how...

Pondering love’s inquisitions hitherto thine perplexities
as thou should knowest its tenderness requite.

You feel your body falling in blackness.
You snatch your shoulder to the right.
The nausea stops.
The bottomless pit is hell.
Do not enter the midnight.

Up in the window, stands a coyote.
His teeth are bared in detestation.
He howls...

I hear those melodies, romantic heartbeats...
