Long Waivers Poems

with a cat lying on my lap
a sough whispers in the trees 
as a summer day begins fading
the tiger lilies below bend as if trumpeting
a musical for ears yet to come into existence
evaporating the din...

“Thick Skinned – What it Feels Like for a Girl”



When you speak 
it’s as if stars cascade
out of your mouth 
galaxies you produce
musical incantations 
that I listen religiously to 

I watch your lips 
form glistening...

the city's sick scar, fuels my descent, into this abyss, where twisted creatures writhe, in the darkness. cyclops with one eye, on the ball, three-headed puppies, sealed behind glass, strippers selling tickets to the apocalypse....

The unseen presence, unfelt movement
Like a wind rushing to go west, successfully waiting for a feast

Darkness cradles with your quest
Protected by the silence of the night
The light that radiates your existence
And the feeble moonlight that...

After all of these years,
Because you have stuck by me through thick and thin,
Candidly, I can tell the world that I love you more each day.
Dawns come and sunrises go, but your love never waivers.
Every...

A peeping eye, like pendulum, swinging through the keyhole.
Just to pass the time.
It's a curious thing.
Flicks transfixed betwixed the clicks of the ticks of the clock as it shifts.
What is it seeking?
Is it trying to...

I sit down to write but I can’t see the light
The sun is going down and soon it is night
I try to fight off the demons but they hold me at bay
I feel like I’m...

You knew me before I knew me and love...

His bones have been to hell and back his body's gouged and rough
His chaps they sit upon his legs as he does each buckle up
He feels the pain in his neck and back from every...

Gathering within thy lightest touch
An ache so strong it bears no name.
Want, desire, need.. And lust
Burn inside, an eternal flame.
Candles melt in waxen splendor
While shadows dance in flicker’s delight
Moonlight waivers in consistent motion
And the night...

On the exquisite wings of fated infinity.  
We move with subtle elegance and fluidity.
To sail into odd space on a vessel of silence.
It is clearly the domain of the swanky credence.

I desired you to...

Fear paralyses me

As the tears pour down

And my heart breaks

Ever so slowly

 

The waiting is worst

Without answers or hints or

Even a look to go off of

If you were around I could read you

 

The weight...

Come girls, come and experience my bona fide offer
A sister, a female cousin, even your over eighteen daughter
You must keep me entertained
I am your Lion that needs to be tamed
You can look at me as...

She floats along a spiraling, intertwining trail.
With wingtips made of broken dreams increasingly frail.

She glides up high for all the world to see.
Her wings reflect every shade of color in every detailed degree.

The path she...

I have a stick in my eye.
It looks like a puppet's
Whos been caught in a lie.
The whole of my world 
Easily sees
The strangling hold
This stick has on me.
It burns and it stings
Never waivers its fire
And...

Days and nights may come and go but Gods love never leaves. Even in our darkest times his love shines bright for us to see. It's not a light that glows external but one that...

I am in love with him
He doesn’t know what love is
I want to stay up all night with him 
When his mind is playing tricks on him
He says he cares about me
I care about him...

Deeply Darkened

Deeply darkened, yet slightly lit,
Was the route I took, while the moonlight gleamed.
It carved a direction of glittered flares,
As I danced and murmured a hint of mystique.

I was not human, nor kindred soul,
But just...

Life is a straight road
Sometimes it bends, corkscrews or whips
But it never waivers from where its eye is leading it

Like a lemming it knows its destination

As young people, on the other hand, we think
We’re on...

A special someone in Heaven,
A star that shines so bright,
A light that guides us through our darkest night.

A love that never fades,
A grace that never waivers,
A spirit that will never die.

A guardian angel, a friend...

The fire’s gone out
in the last wooden hut
Fresh snow has been falling,
cold hunger abuts

The Red Coats emboldened
in far Germantown
The wind carries stillness,
with death all around

A General stands watch
on the farthest of hills
His heart never waivers,
his...

A famous quote by Gertrude Stein
Is one I can abide.
It says that, “We are always
The” (exact) “same age inside.”

A film on Leonard Cohen I saw
Embraces this belief,
For age and all its facets 
Is a dominant...

Noisiness neighs your code,
Loud, braggadocios, belching
Shouting sentiments and prophysying plays 
As your body disintegrates
And dredges your kidneys fail and your legs lilt frail 
Yet you claim life loud and braggadocios.
The football game gimmicks
The baseball booboos...
