Short Elongate Poems

Red streaks run across the locked canvas.
Tears of anguish widen and elongate both vertical
          and horizontal lines.
Is it the lives spilled out on city streets?
Green blades of eternal renewal is the painters last 
           stroke....

A priceless time upon life
As time tells the story of life
upon reckless abandonement; elongate
a  present image of liars that try to condemn many
I endorse the right way to make something out of nothing
I am not going to conceive anything evil at  any price
A true idealistic reason to survive what's coming forth
How can many illusions in time impact life
As  the story of life is a priceless time...

Prying breadth to groan and stretch
a gauze of stars elongate
Tent pins held in both the hands
pinned on the sides of the earth
Canopy twinkle to lift the night
Shadows gone blue in the moon
Eatable air with a breath and a grin
of night flowers fully in bloom
Head arching body to reach into skies
palms full of star dust and black
Sealing the earth in it's mighty decrees
in the square of your lit soul window....

The route seems to elongate the race
character speaks loudest, to score the brace
limited ideas combine, there is a Logan berry
too young an opportunity, not really hairy
indoor is not nice, better a Lido
this will be retracted when there’s a tornado
a situation to cause a semi cheer,
this limited space will accommodate a lawn chair
the one who snubs and expects a spillage
uses his own arms to embrace spoilage....

Killed all my own crew
so i i could take yours
on myself
Elongate my language
My elan is obvious
oblivious to my goal
dont you realise this is my mind
going for a stroll
Take your threats so empty
and toss them in the air
Careless words aplenty
from a man who doesn't care
well wishers drowned within the well
sorry just a wisp
away from worry
but no need to fret
i am just a loser
and thats the surest bet...

Day End
5/25/14

The crow caws and takes flight with the diminishing gray half light
Shadows elongate over a field of yellow green spring grass
This high day full of living nears its sweetened terminus
Through the upstairs open window of our bedroom
We retreat to a welcoming lair of dreams
As we hold each other in loving caress
Warm skin to cool skin rises
And black night descends
Deep sleep can wait
As love smiles
We drift
Again....

Hushed morning.....
A winter scene from my bedroom window
of soft pearled fields sloping to the sea
Rose hips, blood red with white frosting
Naked branches as snow falls from bough to bough
Pale melon sun shines, as a thaw struggles in

A steel grey sky mirrors a stilled ocean
Shadows of Spruce elongate the milk carpet
Pistachio ivy clings to the tree trunks 
freezing fog lingers, the feeble sun waning
as a blackbird hops, mirabelle beak pecking...
