Short Landslide Poems

Pilfered promises
Needless to my somethings
Landslide refractions
Where angels think twice to tread
And fools rush to their finish...

You build it up, to stand against wind
You layer it up, to withstand anything
You shelter you, to repel away my rain
You and a bluff, to bury me once again...

Lost in your landslide
Unable to control
What comes next
Or what has passed
I gave in
As the water trickled
Calling for more loss
Of balance
Of knowledge
Of life...

How the wind blows,
a gusty muster.
My thoughts explode!.
Caught up in the whirl-
wind. A once empty
mind is now a landslide
of raw emotions.
Do I have the notion to
to turn this life around,
towards true devotion?...

The snow has melted 
From the right on the mountain,
And now it's like a landslide.
Her side is blushing from the sun,
Like a  wound that is so fresh.
And the coming April with a blade is coming in hope
Take all the cold off her....

It was so a tree that I saw
It was too a branched man!
He let a ripple pass under him
And then his root ran.
Which I know is out of character
And a laugh beyond hysterics;
But is what is brought out in folk
At the Landslide Frolics....

My roots are trembling
through clay orgasm,
tumbling the landslide
that speaks every shake or so.
Leo roars and I await life,
Generic roving rumbles
reminding me of the world around,
but I never remember
how to cling to the ground....

Caving in
as my mountain
begins to fold

A mountain that was so steep,
tall, wide, and proud
has crumbled.
Caved in

My mountain has gone,
not gone as
other things go
but gone.
                         Leaving no trace

As my mountain
turns flat,
once admired
Is now walked 
all over....

If you can't beat him, indict him
If he goes up in the polls, convict him
If he is more popular than ever, imprison him
If he will win by a giant landslide, murder him
If he lives on through his populist movement, smear him
If his movement takes over the world, you always loved him.

white winter coat

first of frosty ground
sneaks in quietly with fear
does it's sagging bit

first snow gently falls
warning of  growing power
to bury what's green

snow in strength of time
potentially deepens for
smothering landslide

The news was wrong
But no one knows that
People are spreading the rumor
That was started on the news
One hundred children in a school had been exposed to Covid19
The news reported that one hundred children in this school
have Covid19
A retraction will never be able to stop this landslide of rumors...

Look into a liars eyes...
bleeding locked up failures
Unwilling to fathom compromise
A falseness stays in layers...

Keeping truth safe inside
A liars lie needs one to cover
Misinterpretating a landslide
Wait a bit ...uncover another

Liar Liar you'll always be
Telling lies comes easy to you
Justifying your harmony
Pittiful is me..I want truth!...

Cherry pick the parts that fit your narrative.
Discard the others, they are imparative.

Cherry pick the parts that agree with you.
Diverse ideas do not see you through.

Cherry pick all the "Yes Men" you like.
Trust what they say, believe the hype.

Cherry Pick this slippery slope we're decsending on.
Plunge down this proverbial landslide we came uopon....

hammer swung
learned them leaches
found in riddle
formings
under seeping bleachers
the stands jesters hide
below on mountains
landslide
teardrops bound
to
faces sleeves
auto correction
arrested like thieves
life spiraling breeze
grabbbad a direction to go
chain shackled winds blow
migraines grammer dung
could never match

hammer swung

A poem for the young

The house on top of the hill
Has no garden
A landslide sent it to the bottom
Lemon trees and roses in a maze

The house on the top of the hill
Has no roof 
A storm sent it down the hill
And boys broke the windows.

The house on the top of the hill
Patiently waits for another land slide
So, it can join the missing parts
At the bottom of the hill....

Like quicksand under the ocean waves,
you can break and fall away,
this landslide so undisturbed,
for the life force of my brightly smile.

All of life is in the palm of your hands,
but you wouldn't have to see that,
to believe that.

So Farewell to the skies and the rolling of the waves,
like all things in life, the beauty of a sunset fades,
but not all things always return....

I would predict a landslide (Blue!)
Without a hint of déjà vu
But superstition rears its head
And warns me to shut up instead

Or else I would absorb the blame
If vic’try came to What’s-His-Name.
The reason why might give you pause – 
A kinnehura*’d be the cause.

*a pronouncement indicating good fortune
which should not be uttered for fear of 
attracting the “evil eye.” (Yiddish)...

Eyes
Searching fervently for someone.
Smile
That could outshine the sun.

Realization
Cascading like a landslide
Admirer
Heart breaking inside.

Laughter
For someone who's not me.
Heartbreak
Painful as it can be.

Yearning
That you'd someday realize.
Wishing
My love you'd recognize.

Tears
Brimming yet choked back.
Lover
Who's presence lacked.

Who do I have to be
For you to notice me?...

God From Sin Saved Me

God from sin saved me
Which is way I want to be
Free and with no fee

By God have been see,
Understands what I may mean
In each cell and gene

God for me did much;
Have found His love in my lunch
And do Him a bunch

Changing of the tide;
Biden will win in landslide;
Cannot be denied.

He had smoothly cruised;
About Biden we were enthused;
Give up he refused.

The Meaning

Welcome to your crossroads
Welcome to the fork in the road
Which path are you choosing?
Which way are you gonna go?

Are you lost or just wandering
Inquiring minds would like to know
   Stand strong
	In the landslide
   Rise up
	And reform the mold

Yes…this life has meaning
Whether you know yours or not
Just slowdown lose control
And you never again
	will be alone.

We roam in the wilderness...

Look what you have done to me
ripped a hole where my heart used to be
watched as my tears fell into the sea
no one will notice whats a few tears in an ocean 
words tumble of your lips
causing a landslide of my emotions
oh to be loved for just one more day 
but now your a seldom visited profile
on an often visited facebook page
who would have thought 
the one i loved is just a bunch of unloved pixels
on my facebook page....

O' Soul, why is the sound
Of heart break so desolate 
In the dead wind by the overflowing river-side 

As if a gaggle of wild ducks flew away 
Carrying ripe autumns at their beaks 
The moonshine fainted by the mirror 
In the midst of 
A dream's course 
The moon sank 
In the landslide 

My Soul, everything's over now 
Twilight has descended on the graveyard.

(Translated from the original in Assamese "Morixalit Kalsondhya" by Prof. Anita Baruwa)...

At that time
I was thinking something else
when you gave me a half-kiss,
my winter naked moon.

A souvenir left by sun
for the sake of night. I remembered
pink roses
unpetaling green thighs-

for quest of shelter in civil war
of reminiscences.Merciful was the landslide
which buried the whispers of
dead dreams.

Unpretending, unleaping, the ocean
sucks the grief of clouds. The
rains have started a dance
for the suicidal gods.

she looked at me
with questioning eyes
and asked me 
why the sky is blue

i answered
"it's sad with envy, 
jealous of the beauty 
i see in you

it cannot paralyze me
it cannot move me
it can't break me
the way you do

and no matter the mix
of vivid colors
it can't replace you 
as my muse

it mourns and weeps
o'er this landslide loss
in it's contest 
against you

it knows from you 
it can never steal my heart
and that's why the sky is blue."...
