Interdiction

Poetry…
  arresting the mundane
  acquitting the spirit

Convicting
   all redundancy
    —freeing the truth

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Wheat Fields

I first saw her in the wheat fields, 
as faint as a whisper, 
as arresting as the sun, 
making her way through the straw, 
with the straw, she was one.

I Rest My Case

Men brood their loss and lie in jail
until their patrons pay their bail.
And then they lie upon the stand,
arresting truth on shifting sand.

Arrestation of a Robber

When a robber is 
                    Arresting , he feels shame of 
                       Crimes than stop to rob.

Unmarked Graves

Arresting the future
 as well as the past
Time the great jailor  
its prison precast   

A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny preying
—perdition the cost

Premium Member Prayers Answered

a rainbow appeared
marking the long drought's ending
song from the treetops

awakening blooms
in heart arresting colors
summer's turning gold

greenest gratitude
rising again from our knees
sunflower sun shines

scents
wander
near and far
on a kind breeze
yellow mimosa trees home to bluebirds
arresting senses make their presence known
at red sunset

Premium Member Impossible Primroses

vibrant primroses
in countless arresting shades
bring back the glad smiles

sunshine symphonies
in fields, beds and flowerpots
rhapsodic summer

fragrance from a dream
dreamt in the heart of winter
under the pearl moon

teeming colors mass
for a doomed beauty contest
baffling all judges

Premium Member I Love You Because

The sky turns blue around you
And the warmth of days are found in your clothing
Where nothing ever grows or changes and the smell of
Your clinging velvet hair brings maddening fuel to my heart
Like the heating of elements, our need: the brimming,
Spilling ache of eye contact; soft and arresting.

Nightmares

Now I lay me down to sleep
I dread the thought of what might creep.
Garish goblins slither into my dreams
However hard I grip the seams of 
Tousled duvet above my head.
Monsters messing with my mind.
Arresting sleep of any kind.
Rarely do they let me rest.
Every night they try their best.
Soothing slumber seldom seen.

Premium Member Snail Mail

So romantic love letters mailed
Now enchanted by the perfume smell
Amethyst art on cherry blossom card
Indigo ink drawing poetic little hearts 
Lavender love language shines like star

Melodic moods within winged words
Arresting my heart soon as heard
I’m hanging on each silver sound
Living for love wherever it’s found

Walk

A bulging extremity,

a feminist integrity,

a swaggering centipede,

the cops arresting me,

my dick the right size,

the bang coming out of your eye's,

the sensitivity upon demise,

the dew and dripping from the sky's,

the eagerness of eloping,

the magnitude of doping,

the honesty of groping,

scattering scorpions glowing and scoping.

Premium Member Bored In Manhattan Nfc

A young broad was bored in Manhattan So got dressed in outrageous fashion She looked so out of place Wearing satin and lace When a cop shocked her with his baton The cop was amazed by her attire Many men were filled with desire She was such an arresting sight That much to her delight He took her home to warm up by the fire 6th December 2015

Cracked Summer

not enough
howls of tormented birth
under a homeless roof, arresting the light,
a bleed from the pungent breast,
you lost the marriage with marigold,

to be grave purple eyed, missils killing
the shrieks, i let a paperweight
sit on the vessels and stop a free run of black
blood from nipples: dawn, it was far
away, the goddess inhailing earth’s ice

Emotional Tree

AN EMOTIONAL TREE

The gust came like punches.
one of those arresting, blustery blows. 
It was like a giant stood behind that tree
cupping his hands over his mouth
blew as hard as he could.
Without mercy

blood shot almond-shaped leaves.
stood frozen
then making their slow, deliberative dance
toward the asphalt below
where they lay silently without notice
and a heart breaks.

The Island and the Cloud

Between freedom and Instagram
  there is an island,
  where men go to be alone

An island of words
  in arresting colors,
  with meaning indicted—but seldom heard

Between Facebook and tomorrow
  a cloud sits waiting,
  where men go to find themselves

An Angel calling role
  in blind acceptance,
  all names rejected—the letters whole

Premium Member Early Morning Spectrum

Listen to the forest in the depth of one’s mind 
and craft arresting soundscapes from within.
Gaze into a spectral morning 
dazzling  anew and 
watch those scales 
that slither from one’s eyes. 
Utter silken threads that pulse 
each vein  with choral church bells  
ascending  thru a literati conduit.
Wallow in the cascade of an oceanic
 blue and cherish 
every vital sea green moment.

-jail-Bird's-Prayer

Oh Lord,forgive the arresting officer
who first caught me when I committed crime__
for destroying my future.
Again,I pray to blindfold the inspector of police__
that He may order police officers to delete my 
picture and name from the 'wanted persons list'__
Also, make lazy police officers assigned to arrest
me from my hiding place__
Jail changed my life!

Premium Member Utter Silken Threads

Listen to the forest in the depth
of one’s mind and craft
arresting soundscapes
from within.
Gaze into a spectral morning
dazzling  anew and watch
those scales that slither
from one’s eyes,
Utter silken threads that pulse each vein 
with choral church bells  ascending
 thru a literati conduit.
Wallow in the cascade of an oceanic blue
and cherish every vital sea green moment

Weeds
                                pesky, noxious
                           reach, creep, agitate
              dandelions, plantain, tulips, daffodils
                        assemble, restore, thrive
                              sterling, arresting
