Long Waterbed Poems

Awakened and degenerated, I feel I am clashing somewhere 
The clouds appear and then depart, just another face amongst billions  
Millions of colors of the rainbow at one point I thought I was rare...

An ordinary Australian from an ordinary country place
Who rallied to the flag's call with god's good grace
He was one of the 33rd Battalion "New England's Own"
Into this swirling maelstrom they were duly thrown
The Great War...

My life is broken 
My dreams are crushed
I cant trust her 
And my life is wrecked
My plans are destroyed
And my life is down the drain
They are mad
And they hate me
The broken one is dying
I cant...

The idea behind this poem came from reading a poem of the same title, written by Richard “Canadian Man-god” Lamoureux. Now, his poem went in an entirely powerful, yet other, direction than I thought it...

Omni-pre-sent


Are we yearning to remember
Are we learning to forget
Living in the mind
shows we're not there yet
Are we earning to remember
Are we turning to regret
The present past
knows we carry the debt
along the line that is cast
beyond...

 The Small Hours

Ceilings can be mesmerizing 
From crop circles to popcorn
Ants on parade, elephants 
Brought to life, a picture show, 
Night light seeping across corners,
Cast over plaster and wood, 
Cool white light, computer or...

Soft flame flutters gently before surrendering to darkness
wealth of golden glow.
Your mind has been captured by dreams, pirates of the imagination
controlling your activity.

Crescent of gray light fades through the arch windows;
you become spotlight bright!
I study...

Bring out your white, bring out your red,
Bring out the grapevine's daughter,
Enough to fill a waterbed,
We'll drink it down like water,

Pour it cold, pour it cool,
Pour it a little hotter,
Fill the glass - the golden...

my emotions are caught up
somewhere between here and there
your real intentions have been brought up
somewhere between fear and scare

sadness and disappointment drips off
the definition of unexpected
i resisted the temptation of greater queens 
because i thought...

The Waterbed Sea

Melinda went to sleep in her waterbed,
(Not on it, but in it, is what I said,)
Took not a mask, not a snorkel nor fin,
Just a deep breath 
and she jumped right in.

//Swim, sweet...

Our dad drives with the recliner down like a waterbed as uncapped bottles of water gushes down. My older sister putting on her third face now, none of it hides her stuck-out tongue at me....

That disheartening obsession
is detached from reality
Another retinal wink message
blinks SOS pillow bleak

Drifting off to sleep,
void dreams of awakened passion
falls into an impotent abyss
The empty anesthesia bottle,
caressed by a pained heaving chest,
has swallowed all of yesterday’s...

You thought love could be found
laying around,
common as morning sunshine
Meeting easy beach smiles,
awash in waves of fun times
But the cool crest of day attraction
never swept away your surfing heart
Seeking risky queen of club action,
you soon...

This story was relayed to me......

Was there magic in those rainbow lights...
Shining on that bar room floor
'Cause last night something turned one beer
Into seven more!

Well...I got home just a little late
And I couldn't find my...

I sinned against my body exceedingly so
I’m ashamed, I feel like a nobody
Everyday, I see people succeeding though
The temple of God is in everybody

I need endurance and patience
I also need self-control and guidance
I love my...

Drip

Drop

Water drop cascades under sapphire afterglow
Undoing 4 month deprivations

Muffled moans surround crimson fireplace

Crackling of fire
Thrusts of skin
Retinal vibrations shutter her pilot light deep within

She ascended to blue moon heights
As embers of his inferno
Bow in collective...

I have a ridiculously large head,
I think I’d opt for a smaller one instead.
Oh, sure, you say that it suits me fine,
That’s because yours isn’t near as big as mine.

I bet that it weights at...

Wearing clothes to bed simply makes no sense
I must float freely on my waterbed
But when I wake in the morning, I’m tense
Wrinkles from the sheets on my skin imbed
Rolling out of bed, I lower my...

“ETHIOPE RIVERSIDE”
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]

How come
We once paddled our canoe
Along river Ethiope
And nobody saw us
Come and go
Till tides come
When sweet memories
Of Ethiope riverside
We cannot remember 
Is it those delta bitches
At the river motel
It is those...

Many thoughts enter my head
Wish my mum hadnt garlic for tea
Making me cry and raise my knee

I hope my life will be full of fun
Laughter and tears for me...
