Long Warded Poems

Balaam's Third Oracle Numbers 24:4-14 part three concluded

who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose
eyes are opened.

How beautiful are your tents,
O Jacob,
your dwelling places, O Israel!

Like valleys they spread out,
like gardens beside...

To be warded for breathing problems due to a lung infection...
And getting a good doctor and ICU attention upon arrival at the hospital...

Elan's word?
Zulu's sword?
Heartsichordiums-convulsive-verb
"Anabantium", O wraith of mord.

So is it, it is for Hilerides-Dales, 
which green-discourse, 
Southeast of Wales 
or some other perch 
of liaisoned Angeles-porch ? 
Is one-way with a steep of glades newly born....

And God led Moses to Mount Nebo
for his lush, new domain to survey,
in the riches of the Promised Land
among valleys of trees and olives.

Where birds in the sky soared free
and wild beasts roamed the land

Unto Us A Porn Star

Stormy turned out to be  her obnoxious name;
Big breasts by her would be eventually worn;
She did end up being quite a deplorable...

Dark corners, beige walls.
Scribbles telling you to "Beware, Be Aware."
The shadows pass and a woman croons. 
"Let me buy my milk, 2 percent."
Laugh it off, "Get some rest."
Deep emotions for a "child".
"You're an adult now."...

When Water and Fire Collide
Tongues knoted in Silence, Silence Preside
Mercury Dulled Lovers Communication
Muddled Messages, Interactions Barely There
No Interest, No Warmth, No Feelings Shared
Creating Distractions to Minimized Relations
I am Here for Me, You're Here for You...

The Pale Rider

Astride an ashen horse,
a raven perched on his shoulder,
and a melancholy moon
beaming down gray shadows,
He held a gleaming scythe 
in one hand, and in his other, 
a damning edict from Hades,
the Lord of...

I want us to walk
To a place we had, months ago
To access that instinctive calm
That warded off all calamity
And be who we were.

I want us to sit
As we had on 'our bench'
With your mass, rested...

The Warder 

The old man spine was bent his head was hanging at an awkward angle he 
searched the ground while he was walking for what he could not have stopped 
and picked anything up....

In between a wand and a warded space 
lies an old Book Of Shadows to embrace;

Fee fried foe thumbs, 
throw them in as the guitar strums;

Picked over hair follicles and toenails,
A few fast words followed...

Disheartned by misery, I went to sleep
without praying and laying down so restlessly,
then awful thoughts drowned me in sadness:
the strongest soul that always warded off demons...
suddenly became the weakest and most miserable of all!

O serene...

Song in the wind
Gentle reminder:
Rain through bamboo trees


Chirpy delight
Instant enlightenment;
Heavy heart uplifted


Postcard from somewhere
Far far away:
Greetings from long journeys


Old photograph
Faded with old times;
Ancient memories linger


My mother's gaze
My father looks;
Picture of the dead


Pain taunts
Sufferings preside;
Soon liberation...

No other would be my hero, 
No other valiant combatant I have seen,
He gave all up until zero.

On his premise, I’d rather lean,
Imbibe his bravery and courage,
Fight every opposition until I win.

Do images of I appear in her thoughts?

Or simply the fostering of quaint fantasies?

Through all pandemonium paramour is sought

Though warded within profound secrecy



Frantic I plea for reprieve

To recover voluminous wounds

Renounce excuse to grieve

Slaughter the walls...
