Silently stormy shadows 
are gathering dreams to
dim the clamoring cries of
good-byes!

beget ever soul spirits

grating sky noises
elongated screechy scream
clamoring airplane

destroying silence
threatening my peace of mind
in flight path daily...

Could peace beckon
Calling from the
Ocean depths
On wind with
Regrets
Outside
Us all
Clamoring
To come from 
Behind and bite
My tale...

frigid clamoring
daunting spoils winter's winds snow

ghosts and spirits 
ancestral entities
clamoring around new baby
delighted with her, all excited
thrilled to be invited 
to a family christening
at the family church...

thoughts pounding
echoing loudly inside my brain
feelings hammering
clamoring tinges of this pain
a facade that slips
its anchoring clips
strength that's feigned
a tin heart, that's dangling from
a braided chain...

Flowing freely your ebony hair
like the night sky
scattering fragrance 


my heart clamoring in my chest
like a storm you triffle with it

your pristine glance
like a feast when you smile


my thoughts disturbed
my breath like opium
it drives me mad...

Stillness sweeps horizontally, then
Swells vertically. It is zero below
South wind meshes with north wind; it
Sends us clamoring for feathers of goose, we're 
Secluded in layers. Closer and closer we seek
Somebody; a lover, next of kin, The Mighty Comforter.

During a many troubled times we see,
A few brave souls who dare to speak.
They have the courage to stand up tall.
To resist the crowds clamoring calls.
To not be silenced and just go along.
Now I shall leave you with this missive.
It takes the same courage to sit and listen....

A fallow tree stump
ritualized by the empty
Bath of Salvation
creeping painfully as if
thrown by the wayside
The retort of schoolchildren
smoothed by the evenness
of taken innocence
Arisen from a fruitless slumber
Clamoring for the germane
but destined to be wholly
irrelevant...

Long languid days and sultry nights
Speckled starlight of unreachable heights
Spellbound and I but a traveler be
Cast asunder on a cosmic sea

No sail, no compass, and no course
Rendered helpless by this invisible force
My clamoring heart the only sound
Lost in love and destiny bound...

Whisper
When the world shouts
With exaggeration
Desperate for validation
Falsehoods infused in a sham of sound
Quiet the clamoring lies of
Idolatry - when you
Speak truth to me
Whisper

Stick figures
In shadows running dominoes
Savoring the synopsis 
of the multitudes clamoring 
Against the forces stripped of gratitude
 Hearing the voices of death choirs singing loudly
Silent bogus is the boogie dancing in the streets dire
Animated conglomerate

Their ships must ride
a rolling sky,
masts too high to sail into view.

They appear, board the land,
they buccaneer.

The clamoring mob
fall upon a scuttling prey
pluck the weakest
into hungry holds.

An eye-aye cocked and ready,
they raid and maraud
as only
treasure seekers can.

The gulls are here
and for a while
sea and land broil.
the air erupting
with mutinous calls....

Meenie was clamoring against higher prices of milk
                         My Sullivan hit a clinker he was not of that ilk
                                        Sullivan screeched a lot
                                        My Meenie shot her bolt
                        And both in revolt ate turnips artichokes and silk




Meenie= my pet female cat
Sullivan=my pet simian ghost...

Cold dark and still as death
A place in my soul that I enslave
Thoughts so primitive, raw, and grave

Hold them back, never to see the light of day
For chaos would ensue

Clamoring to escape the bonds I’ve forged
Imprisoned forever in the deep

Hear them whisper in the night 
Tempting me with ecstasy
Nay say I, never to embrace
Neither the wicked nor the damned  
A price too high my soul to pay
Forever this is held at bay...

Flim Flam 
the hero man
sold his story
and away he ran
From Hanoi to DC
before swamps could be drained
karma would catch him
and rot out his brain
But the damage was done
in the Great Halls of power
as his bombs of war
the whole world did scour
So what is now left
when the hero has faded
same as it was
a nation all jaded
Clamoring to praise
what was clearly a fool
a spoiled near despot
the ultimate tool.

That Phil Collins 80's ballad,
Playing over in my head
Clamoring with thoughts of you and her, 
And the sharing of your bed

Damn that thoughtful gift I'd sent, 
Intent to helping you sleep better
But now, oh how alluring
The scent enticing her to enter

Your claim that "we have separate lives"
Permits your feelings true, to hinder
So, did you wash the bed sheets clean
Or does the lavender field still linger?

Arising in me 
are the voices
of two different
worlds.

One calls for  closeness_____
with
its rise of 
passion and gentle decline.

The other calls for 
distance
without voices clamoring
for attention.

Ears that are yet
weary of
human sounds
and physical closeness.

Distancing from vespers,
It calls up pain________
not understanding____to
weary to ask.

Just needing space 
to heal, 
Space that honors
what is!...

My sexuality
Was like a hidden treasure
Hunted by the many pirates of the sea
All clamoring 
to unlock the golden chest
Their keys had trouble
some to small,
some too long,
some to short,
some tried to pick with their fingers,
But one key held by the daughter of Adam and the son of Eve
Fit just perfectly
I was perplexed as to how I opened so freely
But I had no trouble,
Just release,
I came to see
The Climax of this 
Story lie in me...

Silent surrender

A soft pitter patter of rain
Washes over silent sorrow
Pain in silence teaching
Tomorrows grace

Feet moving with the beat
Dancing in the subtle breeze
Defeat of the nights moon
Keys show the way

Sleep in comfort dreaming
Symbols awaken the mind
Gleaming bursts of intuition
Find meaning and purpose

Follow the path of the heart
Outside in the clamoring rain
Part ways with illusive time
Gain peace within the moment...
