Long Vindicated Poems

Did I hear that wrong?

with the vampire bleeding Quest,
big stage conversations on the radio
travel way too fast
for me to stay tuned in
to our nesty mess
at my normal liberal-conserving pace.

Hello world
Hello universe
Today I apologize
today I apologize to you
today I apologize
for giving you my worst
for performing below my best
for making empty promises I can't keep 
and for banishing people from my life
out of anger, out...

The one with a shattered soul
even if he rebuilds himself anew
he would still feel the ache

The one who hungers for flawlessness
even if he's attained mastery
he would still perceive defects

The one who covets dominance
even if he...

that misery loves...

Life so complicated, so vindicated
Life never so simple in the dimple
Smiling, pining, piling up pressure in indicated
Moments and torments in a pesky pimple

The Valise

The brief case has edges and mystery surrounds it
Accompanied by men on the periphery of law disordered
Perhaps the economy there is equal to Greece and Spain combined
Fiduciary responsibilities and pride at stake
If the case...

A PAIN CLOUD ON HORROR’S HORIZON

I’ve tilled the tired soil on which a torn man toils
I’ve tread the fettered flag on which an aspiring asp coils
I’ve stared into the face of ghosts, goblins and gargoyles
I’ve...

Hell breaks loose through the trusting door
Whining its splintering, wooden hinges
Claws wrapping onto the arches beyond
Gnarled feet pressed on the threshold
Lower limbs jingling with sparky anklets
Ready to catapult and kick with spitting mouth
To shove its...

Almost a century ago
Innocent blood was spilt
Almost a century ago
But there remains the guilt

The world must acknowledge
The Armenian genocide
The blood won’t wash away
There is no place to hide

One million and a half
Of Armenians met death

All glory belongs to God alone
for it's His gospel that meets man's need
His mercy and His anger meet head-on
for lost sinners are brought to mercy feed

God's holiness leaves one mystified
His godliness is beyond man's mind

Blood Brothers is packed with humour and poignancy.
It was a play I was privileged to study for GCSE.
I learned that I was connected to its history
And this came as a huge surprise to me!

It tells...

I was encompassed within the sullen lust
Of gentrified prepositions

Incomplete adjectives layer the magnitude of
My emptied valor

I became entrenched in the touch
The smile
The tears
Of wistful elegance

This onyx cry
Now turns into an everlasting echo

I sing to these...

Come Father, become human and kind...
sit at my  blessed and abundant table,
and have a dialogue with me!
Many questions assumed for myself:
like uncotrollable rivers flooding their banks...
pitifully susceptible to oblivion;
a disaster so real and not...

The corporate guys with gray flannel suits,
And brief cases swinging on arms to boot,
Came around to the conference room,
"Computers will bring paper to its future doom"


That was back in ‘84,
When a young apprentice stood in...

I was outside in my shed with my lawnmower in bits,
doing some repairs, for lately the mower’s miss and hits,
and getting me riled up because the darn thing wouldn’t start,
so that is the reason why...
