Long What is more Poems

I have heard almost nothing about New Year Resolutions
this pandemic year;

Although personal sound waves are filled
replete with incomplete invitations
to take better health care
of personal

and green climate nonviolent communication
wealth optimization

As we move...

Forever penetrating the soul who knows…

Always showing its intentions, bound by emotions
Yet colored in hues of the most...

Line of inquiry:

“we look for that light eternal 
that does not come and go 
the screen upon which life plays
cognised in staid stillness slow”

Blanket of stars mask a dreary sky
Haven of shadows, listening for the...

Every 16 hours a woman is shot
by her husband or boyfriend

One American is killed with a gun
every 15 minutes

Over 80 Americans are shot and killed 
every day

7 children are “unintentionally” shot
every day

33,000 Americans are killed...

Once upon a day, two pretty women strolled down a pastoral park that offered their cheeks the most countrified caress and their eyes an orchard of assorted pomegranates. 
After succumbing to weariness, the two courtly...

while at work, droning through the 9 to 5,
or the 10-12 hour beat down for us unlucky saps
the jaws of the shark come crushing down

Seeing this now, I still, being blinded by them I find I am still frightfully often fighting Him and 
this, and these facts. 

And knowing myself and knowing no other viable future, without Him.

I will guard not against rules, but my conscience
And never shall exult in the esteem of men
For we all are brothers and sisters and friends,
Offspring of the muck whose bosom we embrace.
I live my life...

What natural
Is, tell!
The hawk in tabloid swoop did boast –
Whose sweetened-toil doth but
Stink, becometh it
A merry-menu nutriment.

The floods and the woods
Of their own stead in silent-words
– As a sentry –
Sendeth but a sober plea of...

TALL TOWERS AND DEEP WELLS

My love, come and feast on my two round mountains
whose perky tops are as dark as red roses,	
and that are as soft and round as marshmellows.
They stand tall and erect as...

There was once a man.
He’d always wanted to write,
But his biggest failing was
That he wasn’t very bright.

Whenever he started 
On a story or a plot,
Before he could pen it
He simply forgot

What he had thought earlier
And...

A map spread out before my eyes, white as an untouched manuscript,
For those without imagination, an empty place, a desert of meaning,
But for...

Each style, each movement, and most of all each...

All my life I longed for you.
You filled my thoughts and dreams.
You'd stand majestic, head held high,
My mind's eye saw the gleam,

Of vibrant health, unbounded strength,
That shone from a glistening coat,
The look of eagles in...

What is more important the future or the past?
Where loves concerned, and three people are the cast
One had been devoted and loved me many years
The other had my heart, and I had to be near

A perfect picture can't be painted
Or always illustrated 

To those that respect me, I am gracious
Look, I'm sorry for the hiatus

At times our lives are set to 
change
Through no fault of our own 
range,
A change you know will 
break your heart
And keeps it pieces miles

But what is more important

To live a life...

A place of sorrow that brings such comfort,
One of death yet cherished by the living,

Amidst the “pitter-patter” of diamond rain droplets,
As though tearing the soft womb of the dark sky like rockets,
Lightning “crackled”! As though electrified, thunder “rumbled”!
