Long Waffling Poems

Invocation to the Muse

From the gleaming skin of life’s underbelly, 
sin unreconciled, formed from Nephilim seed,

Coffee or tea?

Fragmented frogs frolicking fruitlessly freeing flavoursome fairy freckles,
But what of the speckled hound in the bin?
Well he growled,
He snarled,
The sole paw pilot pivoting,
How interesting was it to note though that the frogs although...

THE SENTINEL

I’d been here six days the ennui was starting to tell
I’d been sent to cover an international gathering
Sessions so long and dull...

The Old Soldier

And he sat around the Legion, 
Telling...

Always prepare for the unexpected!

Just as you want your child to finish school
Outline what you want to accomplish too.
Understand there will be many obstacles.
Rocks can mar the best planned roads.
Next, commit to be kind to...

When Miss Doubtfire moved in
to their heart,
she entered dragon tail swinging
Plastered smiling walls of bachelor resistance
got knocked down
at every single candlelight date demolition

And as the henpeck frowns
rose from the rubble,
an arthropodic shell of a man
was...

I’m just getting started! Why?
Well it’s the beginning of the poem for one,
and secondly......yeah well, I’ll get to that later!

I have walked into that secret haven, found solitude,
  where in harrowing, sorrowing hours, agony gnawed this soul,
nevermore was an oath I sworn in my aching...

I have wondered at what completeness truly is....
What would “walking on hot coals” actually feel like?
Would completeness really involve that?
And if it did, could I actually do it?

I have wondered at wholeness....
Would I recognise it?
Doubted...

At least I have an understanding now,
Of what's causing all my pain,
It doesn't really help yet,
It's still driving me insane.
I'm having trouble sleeping,
My pills make me feel sick,
My head's filled with cotton balls,
It really feels...

NOONRAY IN WINTER 

Noonray in your navel 
a locus for language light
whale wave wishes
in water songs kisses

Winter wonder words waffling 
storm crown chakra baffling 
cold she stirs potted iced rice
as rain...

Where has it gone? I had it thus...
To make bold a troubled mind.
For as you see... it's up to me
To keep the dregs in line.

I feel naked with its absence...
Unsure how to bear the cost.
Beset...

Butter intentions were good

I try to write right,
But often write wrong
Do you think this might
Be my poetic swan song?

I hope it is not
I'm having a blast

Gasp with delight
Or maybe in horror
They...

and suffers smoke n other such,

When railing aggressive
at impulses suggestive
my wisdom begs for flashes
uplifting in scope and mind
to sift lost jewels yet refined
from the smoldering ashes.

Panicky blasts of heat peel
to grind the flesh on the wheel
in re-entry reactions
copious against the...

an upgrade from offline
like a magnet folded in two 
she had me sputtering over gutters
