Long Zeroed Poems

Every day, ‘round 8 am, I climb up from the subway and pass a guy - a blind guy -  who is there to beg for change.
But one day, as I paused to watch...

"We have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will."

Dragon snuck in with the Basement Trolls, to watch a movie, one fine night.
They watched “The Day of the Triffids”, unbeknownst to us, creating our plight.
The next morning all Heck broke loose as we piled...

Alone these thoughts like annoying buzz,
zealously trample across minds agenda,
beguile what plans I had planned to play.
Yearning for release from ancient scab,
can I not sheath their crashing climax?
Xenon prayers list low and anaemic,
downtrodden by shoe-tied...

notification of fire evacuation 
     slated to occur 
April 12th, 2018 (between the hours 
     of 9:00 am and 12 pm) did spur
me to validate Google asper,
 
that direct object heave ving,

Not so long ago your heart was irreparably broken
You didn’t want to hear his name spoken
Your misery was so all-consuming -
And you were full of dooming and glooming -
That the threat of self-harm was bandied...

Le Squirrel Sat For Le Painter

His canvass set
And oils based,
He zeroed onto her providence.
His lips miming
Rhode Island here
Big Apples there.
She scowled her impatience.
Her eyes dismissing his.
Although,
Him noting her dark chocolates,
Sweet looking,
Cloaked as balls of fire,
And...

I'm on my way to a different day 
A day of long ago. 
Where the buffalo roam 
And the long horns groan 
As down the trail they go. 

There isn't much time for them to...

When next I visit the temple
My eyes will look  for a girl among the ample
With a bowl in hand for begging
But in sandals and legging
Sandals I zeroed in on
But from my possession gone
After trying...

I've given thought to "What if Rubik's cube was round?"
My answer might be considered to be somewhat profound
Initially, my reaction was, "If it ain't broke don't try to fix it,"
but that would be a lame...

Upon their parting each commenced to launching old cliche's, takin’ turns at tossin’ well-used comments back and forth.
Zeroed in on Waco, Rowdy started walkin’ south...while - bound for home in Butte, Montana - Jethro headed...

A reporter balked at his assignment for the week.
Too insulted to keep quiet, he complained, “I’ve never talked
to a grain of sand before!”  “Yet, you must become meek
and DO it,” was the response. To...

"Yea, Let me get a number 5,


					
					...with a large belly, overstuffed with drama."


America lives their life zeroed in on
the happenings of fictitious characters;
Studying every infinitesimal detail.
Doing their best to lose themselves
in the scripted world of...

You’ve been toeing the line
from the onset 
twiddling your thumbs 
while you waited your turn 
keeping your wobbly chin up
even as gloom piles up and
begins to dampen even 
the upper crust 
But then fortune prances...

A lass saw her dream man seated, waiting there
With highlights of sun in his auburn hair.

She coyly sat down at a table near-by
Then took a deep breath; let out a long sigh.

Her heart beat fast...

They elude me now ...words
Drinking befits a drowning man possessed
Swimming off this broken page
Baton winning in a relay race
I breached the ribbon sliced with chest
Joy! I gasped


Grown tired of my own riddles
Those halting jagged lines
Conversely...

The cat eyed the dog, warily
   The dog licked his lips, hungrily
The cat backed away, tremulously
   The dog edged forward, intimidatingly

The cat retreated faster, alarmedly
   The dog zeroed in...

There is a spy within me
tapped into suspicions
one eye zeroed in
round the clock

There is a ward
of smuggled wounds
convalescing in my notebooks
smudged so badly
that only I can decipher
their blood

I wake early
before family commotion starts
before the endless
mandible...

Resting deep into dreams,
my future is at stake,
lost is my present !

Eluding realism,
eyes fastened,
alive to memories !

Lovely moonlit night,
a walk along the road,
hand in hand !

Making haste to reach,
and celebrate a meet,
sitting close !

Moments of...

past passions passed parting
present pains pleasured prolonging
love's longings lowered lingering
world's weight winded waiting
sadness's solo silenced singing
freedom forgotten feared freezing
brittle bones bruised breaking
taciturn tears tattered tumbling
mind's memory mangled melting
reason's remnants ruined remaining
kneels nobody nighted knowing
gutless ghosting...

My poetry reflects so much that moves me in the world... It's a combination of my experience and feelings and emotions; and my perception and interpretation of the feelings and emotions other people feel. We...

A pencil to write my own little story
An eraser to rub out the bad patches
Sketch the tits bits with love and care
Far and gone with my own lone soul
Live for myself each every moment
No complaints...
