Long Weans Poems

6 a.m

It is time to wake- 
After being bludgeoned by sleep.
A quick brush 
And a quick wash
Off to the bus-stop in a quick rush.

It’s another day 
To work for a pay
Loose soap lather-
Sticking senselessly by...

Nothing really matters when you're living in a time of forget
when no one notices the secrets of your simple speck
Nothing seems to be in the cards any longer of your tarot deck to tell you...

Hunger sends cold fire round
       Through my veins
       Desperation baths me with hot sweat
       Of despair

Grouin up in Glesga wis nae mean feat
Pleyin in the back courts an dreepin the wass
Plouterin in puddles manky water sploshing aboot,
Searching in yon mucky middens fur treasure
Thrown oot by the families in the closes.

I'm happy when....Christy is feeling Hardy....when Heidie buys something she 
enjoys...when Jack reeds all the good comments on his work...when Ruby's Mets 
win...when Patricia laughs at the movie "The Addams family Tree"...when Sandra

Meandering river, 
Just passing  us by,
Looking so blue,
While reflecting the sky.
Gently the flowing,
The trickle sounds small,
Louder the crashing,
Of the waterfall.
The sun on  it glistens,
As it weans it’s way,
Creating the background,
For this sunny day.

As he stood in the middle o the cobbled street.
Tae nae yin in particular.
Did he vent his anger.
Fu as a whaulk he staggered and swayed
Wan pin rooted tae...

Yes I know love, I know her well
For I'm a hunter who excels
Who knows his prey by sound and smell
And signs that tell, and signs that tell.

I've hunted love so long it seems
I'd know her...

Surge swallows stress
Plunder proud press
Gripe glimpses guess


Feel foolish fuss
Bear blooming buzz
Pick pretty plus


Choice charms crafty
Poise pays plenty
Voice veils vainly


Veer vaulted vice
Shrewd sexy spice
Nymph naughty nice


Frenzy frames fool
Crazy comes cool
Plenty proofs pool


Lovely lines loom
Bright brilliance booms
Ripe...

Survivor

In nature some are the survivors,
The weak don’t make it along,
Death weans out, the not to revivors,
No pan lickers make it, no nongs,

In order to be a survivor,
 There’s only the weak n the strong,
The...

Mindless the mission with visions unseen;
Open to wonder that transcends the pure;
Rest beyond tension the friction that weans;
Embrace the thunder that creates allure.
Time after time we hurl unsure wild complaints;
Reach within a whole that stumbles...

Baby blues bite
Worry weans write


Apt anxious angst
Bearing burst banks


Choice clusters chance
Daze dangles dance


Ends exploit etch
Feel frenzy fetch


Glimpse gloomy gaze
Hide heavy haze


Ire invokes ink
Jest jump starts jinx


Kind keeper knows
Live lavish low 


Meet mangled mix
Note nimble next


Odd...

An open window frames a scene        
Compelled obsession’s wistful sway
A metaphor imbues my dream

Entranced a moth, in porch lights gleam
Around it flits, a cruel ballet
An open window frames...

Life floats, a  hazy shadow;
Weans on a morning rainbow 
That glitters, nothing in store, 
But hopes that make the heart sore.
	Soon, the haze drifts asunder, 
	Leaving the one to ponder.

Often full of dreams, somber,...

Nurture deep dance that comes to be,
Observe the feel of words that come;
Work on fond chance that sets you free.
Note how time heals odd pains that sum,
Allow your tears to wash you clean;
Use sparkling joy...
