longing of train whistle

such longing in a long sad, drawn-out train whistle
do metal objects have feelings?
this sound makes the idea plausible

Psyched Out

   brittle as a tiny twig
     the girl seemed not to grow

   strange, her appetite 
     drawn out, her nights

   stumped the psychiatrists
     out went the lights

Produce More Despair

Produce More Despair

With Mueller much does remain there;
For Trump will produce more despair;
Was much about,
And all drawn out;
Better start handling things with care.

A Lesser Feasting

Less turkey bones to trash
less to be left over.
We make a feast on smaller plates.
the following drawn-out days
of casseroles and sandwiches
will be shorter
and we give great thanks for that!

Obnoxious Laugh

It's funny when people complain
about you having an obnoxious laugh
(and yet they're as cold as ice).
There's no need to explain yourself to this person.
Not when a good drawn out fit of laughter
would suffice!

How Shy I Am

Stay in my house
Five days straight
Perfectly glad.

I have good food
With good coffee
With good music.

Good internet
Cozy chill place
Read few good books.

Fav shows to watch
I have no fret
I'm drawn-out long.

Black Head Verses White Head Composition

Black Head Verses White  Head Composition



at first a small bump underneath the chin
take a pill to drawn out my friend
then a volcanic splash that nearly kicks my ass
Black head smiles back at the scene
Whiter head approaches fine

Drifted Dreams

The long-drawn-out throb of my core,
Mounting up my red lane,
It is so cold, my eyes are all sore
My atonements have been in bane,
One swell of solecism
Exonerating mine deeds unfeasible to deem,
My soul cries to death
My beautiful dreams drifted.

Artistic

Pull out a single sheet of paper after burning a fat doobie.

These colored pencils,paints, and pens. 

How you do something to me.

As my thoughts are drawn out in black and shades of grey.

The color within 
reveals the cluster f**k
 that is my brain.

C H a O S

Could I not see such ugly drawn out choices.

Hollow I feel such nothing for people it is fear that feeds me.

Alone in this forsaken world with nothing to accept.

Order is such pain that it is nothing but chains.

Souls that bare nothing but lost cause to confusion is such utter mistakes.

Sacrifice Recalled

I dreamed that by a grey-blue sea
Familiar columns beckoned me,
An onyx temple rearing stark
Against the surf so dark.

But in the temple drawn-out screams
Destroyed nostalgic dreams—
The screams were mine, some four
Millennia ago, in life before…
Black deja-vu, on Time’s far shore.

Goodnight Kisses


     At the tail-end of a drawn-out day, I feel 
  the gentle arms of Morpheus enfolding me.
                    I have not one but two 
         soft cheeks to kiss goodnight, first,
             my sleepy doe-eyed baby, then...
 the big one clutching the little; my better half.

borderland


deep in the trenches a forest of cardboard trees and stained glass windows twiddling pieces through fingers sizing up like private eye a piece here…and there like a long drawn out story finally middle latched shut and made the sign of the cross now I aim for the quadrants

Spring Dawn Splendor


Dawn raises night’s ebony shroud 
Drawn out is the grey screen of cloud
Sunburst rays descend with tinged flair
Dispersed sequins spread hues in air 
Bright pearls of dew sparkle and glow
Light up luster of my meadow       
Spring drives color spectrum to dart
Zing of joy I feel in my heart

War Factory

War
Drawn out from Factories 
in Assembly line 
as always seen
spanning
all kind and all time
horizons

War
Blueprinted consistently
to win an idea or a space
or anything our fancy

War
Somebody has a right
and the supremacy
to feel bored 
why should everybody
feel we are all right
we are intact

Slighted Apology

My words to you are formulated slowly, excruciatingly, drawn out.
I do not know how to make you understand and so
It all ends up in a jumble
Each word rushing over the next in their haste to escape my clumsy tongue.

In silence I wait
Regretful eyes trained to awkward toes
While you shove it all back down my throat.

Vamp

Hiding a hint of melody
In the free-wheeling ramble
Of the piano’s opening phrases

It’s a pitter pat preview like
Kelly’s singing steps as he
Splashes through a street of rain

It’s a long drawn out unraveling
Of the tune on Ray Charles’ piano
Before he shouts out a bluesy version
Of our patriotic America the Beautiful

Fabric of My Soul

Oh life that beacons creativity.
Thy pleasantness has taught me oh so well.
Drawn out from fountains flowing deep within
Onto the canvas waiting for its sight,
That when paintbrushes strike with flow and flare,
My visions issue from me with no doubt.
And thus my soul becomes with fabric won.

Indignation

Your voice, your fickle mind...
It makes me scream. 
I scream from inside out, 
With no noise escaping my mouth. 

Indignation closes my eyes,
Tired. 
I am so tired of screaming, 
Pretending to tolerate this. 

My heart is heavy with the rubbish.
You've gathered it, 
And I've hauled it along - 
Weighing down our drawn out affair.

Museum Lights

The museum closed for ever,
and I was there
when they turned off the lights

They were turned off one by one...
At first the boardroom's
where Jacqui cried, I think

then the conference room
where they dismantled
all the plugs

then the rooms on all the floors,
and I could not stand it -
the long drawn-out goodbye

Harp and Sharp

Harp and Sharp

This on I surely do have to harp
With me should stop being sharp
Be more patient and understanding
Less drawn out and also demanding
This more on I must have to carp.

Must be a sign of age. The best
thing about Trump is him try to
laugh off. Some people wanted 
tell a joke. Well, the joke is on
them.

For Every, Each, and Always

For every time I have to walk away,
For every time I'm left behind,
For every time an outstretched arm just can't reach,
For each knowing glance we know we can't show,
For each starless, half-less night,
For each drawn out, angled silence,
Know my heart is worn on your sleeve,
Or lies in your pocket.
Write away the weakness of my name,
And sign me to yours.

Cough From the Next Room

a cough from the next room
fear sets in
Covid?

A wheezing cough; this is my husband.
Even worse.
The dogs stop chewing and stare toward his door.

Even the refrigerator is silent.
We wait.  Listen.
Nothing.

A long drawn out cough now that sounds like croup.
We run for the door.
The refrigerator gets there first, blocking it for the rest of us.

My Best

for all your
confusion, 
your forgetfulness
your awkward questions
and masterful responses
your visits cut short
coversations drawn out
your uncertainty
your innocence
your unthoughtful splurges
and quiet apologies

for all your pauses
and drawn breaths

throughout your day
for every song you play

i love you more
than i can find the guts
to say
