Short Motioning Poems

And through that door is the morgue
The editor said, motioning toward 
an unassuming, flat-black, painted door
“Do you want to see it?”
The wanna-be journalists from high school 
Began shaking their heads ‘no’....

a blood moon Awakes casting spells
be wary of the Ringing of bells
clinging and clanging, Motioning
darkness upon A land awaiting
evil unlike any created by God
folly, foolishness and Endless
grief will let loose Demons from
hades with Death in tow
it will be Over in an instant - the
judgment of a perverted Nation...

Hanging in mid air
In defiance to wear
My hand stretched out
Tolerant and patient
In genuineness it sought
Friendship beyond the horizon front

It wasn’t begging
It wasn’t warning
It wasn’t betraying
It wasn’t threatening

IT WAS BECKONING
IT WAS CALLING
IT WAS MOTIONING
IT WAS SEEKING

A friend
A companion
A confidant
A fellow warm hand

WHY DID YOU TURN MY STRETCHED ARM DOWN?...

As the wind blew upon the scattered seeds
Randomly it spreads over the enormous greens
Into a delicate pattern as nature intended
As if mirroring a maze of blossoming flowers

The world waltz on with its spinning wheels
Still it spins and spin it still
Spinning in stillness motioning at its peak
On the earth bull's horn
On the mixed soil with clay
On the burning from smokeless fire
The wind 
Still blowing the seeds over the entire universe...

Maddening thought to process such a word
Mad definition defining more than anger
Mad upset feeling fever flushed climatic danger
Mad mangled minor class offense verse major
Madly suggestive messages a madden proclaimer
Mad made digestive mental notes selective 
Madder matters making moves motioning more
Minds mad capacities hijacking brains plane
Mad makers massive maze uncontained 
Moistening our various vented veins change
Mad to be or not to be?
Crazy…...

scurrying around, a bark to hear,
eyes see only, one of five,
paws remembered, your home
felt whole.

lines so romantic, motioning emotion,
blissful movements, clouded by
betrayed promises, your faith
was undisguised.

earnest tears, fall without catch,
relationships severed, voluntary release,
mentally tangible, your touch
could heal.

dire straits, listening, a weakness,
poring through archives, beauty's detail,
a picture found, your smile
wore love....

Winter approached 

in hours of finality, 

quelled midst midnight's 

imperfectly lit enticement 

of darkly notable

impressive spirits, 

motioning a welcomed 

goodbye gesture, 

laying to rest 

a chilled salutation, 

as ghostly ambitions 

commenced to play 

a well articulated

empowering seduction, 

chasing lullaby's softly

dreamt enchantment, 

sleeping peaceably

unfurled beyond

destined reawakening, 

condemned to limbo...

medieval monsters 
mischievously meander 
in the mind of the mad minstrel
like maggots in mazes 
his mysterious muse
masterfully mining for misery
melting in molten memories
of macabre mirrors
ministering malicious mistakes
morbity mottled 
with the maniacal matchmaker
who masquerades with malevolence 
masticating the meat 
milking the marrow
the minstrel's music 
a maddening march
motioning to the murder 
of mental mortar
mashing morals
his mouth moving
malignant music
marked by madness...
