Long Waterfalls Poems

When it struck 11, I sighed in relief

The time kept ticking on and it wasn't brief
And I'm so… patiently shaking like a leaf
Vigorously feeling vital everyday...
Every minute...every second...come...

"Conceits"



Such conceits
as veils between 
our windowed worlds 
torn torrential incomplete

mayst thou watch and learn 
the one I spawned,

carried soft and harsh

strength and weakness
both carried soft and harsh
ego and...

My black and white future is full of grey blurs 
(Remember, we are...

Inside you…
Yes, I do…
Love you unbearably and truly,
So don’t be such...

The Fish Crow is an outcast amongst the seagulls
Standing on the hot Miami sand
At the end
Of our rose-colored beach towel

Nodding and blabbing half-heartedly
Nuh-uh nuh-uh
To the lack of crumbs

From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old...

Damian and Dolly met at the small Park 
A mile away from her and Molly's apartment.
They were touching loving kissing and a bit of
Caressing.  It was intoxicating.  To much
For a Park bench. ...

And I sang my heart out each evening, in all of the local hotspots.

Who knows, but it does show...it does show aglow

a plentitude of flower beds,
all just outside a charming postcard Town.

"Two Worlds Split"



One world 
fell into unlit hues 
black swallows 
black dogs their consort
murderous their crows
black wings of darkest blue

dark knight,
their oceans
locked in 
another's,
lost eternally,
dark nighted

corralling 
the purple heart bruised,
deadly nightshades pierce
the shadows hiding
under the...
