Short Phased Poems

The moon took possession
of the sky
a blank slate of atmospheric haze
punctuating
the seasonal sentence
of solar cycling....

Beyond a shadow of a doubt,
There’s much to be outraged about.
But what gets my craw,
The final, last straw:
Chaco Tacos have been phased out....

My Throne

The golden emblem
On my throne
The tall and long backboard
Phased with pictures
And memories
The seat that holds
The power
My throne...

Life on Earth

God created genes
And phased birth verve, upon earth.
Once linked, life formed.  Grew.

Phlox of purple field, Bill's
photographing hidden
Phoebe, favorite bird.
Phased by nothing else, like
Pheasant flying up, he
photographs Phoebes. Next
Phalaropes, wading birds....

the Fall flame
died back
became
           twi-lit,
phased out
not
      dead,
            dormant
              sleeping
'til
 the sun
             returns
to spill..
        it's warmth
                 again...

Doc, can you please help me!?
 My love is back and lately
 My hearts been so crazy!!
 She just amazes me!

 Is the cure my baby?!
 This "Love" never phased me!!
 and now she prescribes me,
 with my cure for love...

They say habits can be broken in twenty-one days
I was trying to find a new habit but you weren’t phased 
At all the damage you caused
I forgot to breathe- my chest aches
Now i am going to breathe again soon-
When my lungs are full and I open my mouth
Do not tell me to sing for you 
Because I learned is how
to scream....

I’ve got the deep blues
Depression has a strong hold
Darkness lives in me

The world seems so bleak
River of hope passed me by
I live in the fog

The land seems real dull
Within bouts of hell I scream
It’s surely this bad

I’ll never leave here
This funk I have phased into
Forever I’ll sulk

The beautiful things of today,
tomorrow become outdated.
A Porsche building in the sixties,
is now numbered with the shanties.
The most recent and unspotted
models of choice vehicles may
soon be phased out from our cities.
Fashions and styles of yesteryears,
are today mocked by fellow peers.
Tastes are as much ephemeral
as our lives are temporal....

Silence seemed to change to less
His form almost incoherent in the dark
but for light
imprisoned in the spectacle and eyes behind
Stood is not correct
he phased into the darkness
as if the blackness was breathing
Too scared to turn
fear saturates the sweat on my brow
Terror twists my head
screaming look he is there
stood within the darkness
poisoned childhood care...

Supernatural Plenary

One hand on the paddle of problems, the other steering into the wilderness but it never phased me.

Falling skies, talking mountains, noisy walls and a hungry ground, l was never obliterated.

One of a kind the son of a warrior, born in the arms of survivors.
Jesus Christ my pillar of strength, his words and promises my secret weapons and prosperity my reality....

Days of
Your comfort
Your smile 
Your love
Makes me not want to cry
Days of
The thoughts
Of me taking my life
Simply fade away
My feelings
My beliefs
Are erased
You walk in
Smile
You become my saving grace
One name
One little girl
Can change me
My life, your life
You phased me
If it's anything but you
I dont see the change
Because for you
My life...
I would rearrange....

What do you do
When you discover
That superman is fiction
That Santa is a fake
How do you handle
The pain
Do you remain
Composed
Seemingly not phased
Or do you tell someone
To lesson the disdain
What state
Of mind do you take
Do you want people to know
Do you want to show
How naive you were
To learn that your hero
Has never been one
In the web of untruths
Your world has been spun...

Her Peerless Immaculate Incandescent Eyes


I stare endlessly into her peerless immaculate incandescent eyes,
That caught me by surprise,
That set my heart
Very far apart,
I become phased, when I glaze,
Into them while they are ablaze,
Sometimes I wish I could
Surpassively gaze if I would
Into her peerless immaculate incandescent eyes
That caught me by surprise.

The Cinnamon Bazooka Bun is an ardent dough
a pound of sticky heat that dissolves 
the tongue in an orgasm of butter.

There is an uncertain pantless fervor here
in the parked Impala, a craven pursuit of the 
spiral core, winding mounds of sacchariferous frit

A cop drives by--and we shrink in our non-chalance
our frosted, reunion-phased glaze betrays no chance
that something untoward is not happening here....

What beauty in your vices
my precious perfect Being In Total Control of Herself
with flash of fang and hackle 
for those unruly pups 
amiss
of which fashion to behave
indeed too inbred 
to be phased
by your stately curled lip
perhaps 
that gene of language
their generation skipped
for I have heard it said
that above all other primates
you read body language best

in my opinion better than
most humans put to test....

when she wakes up,
all the blankets pulled 
to her side of the bed,
she purges sleep from her body
in one big yawn.
you can hear the crackle–
billions of mildly annoyed,
slightly groggy atoms sparking up,
ready to move a million miles
an   hour. So, they do.
by the time I get both eyes open
she has already phased through
the wall, atoms kissing one another
on the way downstairs.

The kettle whistles eagerly
at her touch....

Tetrahedron Inception

The geometry of four equal threes,
A pyramid of tall pointy trees.

Green, red, yellow, gold,
Rainbows of music, arc through my soul,

Seeing the sounds past reds vast basses,
Symphonies of light hearing blues last traces.
Four phased spectra, aligned at the sixties,
Sweet melodic convergence of realities.
Touch, taste, smell it, too, with our senses,

Mountains lifted from the ether
With the touch of the Creator....

The Conference in Davos

Davos, men in classy suits, speak fluently
about the ills of the world-
They tell Greta she has to study economic
and coal will be phased out but slowly.

The young wonder why should they study
to get an excellent job in a multinational firm.

Davos, men in elegant suits, speak glibly
of growths, we don’t want more; we like less.
The young know this, we poor elderly too
and it is their future; those in silk suits fail to see....

This is one of the poems from my new novel "DoJez's Unjust"

"A feeling phased by color. 
A talent despised by others.
Man flawed with "Brothas?"
A time that's stormed with thunder.

The pale insisted manner.
Ignorance accusing the matter.
Will man question this matter?
Or just say it doesn't matter?

Simplicity raged with infurity.
Complexity disturbing purity.
Racism is crimson to the ability,
The ability to confide humanity.

But yet, it's still here."...

when i

first saw
you your
hair was
in a wrap

almost seeming
African in the
presentation
of yourself

was there hidden
a tumbling down
lost treasure that
i found or was she

bald but that never
phased me because
i saw her face without
make up yet made to be

simple purity of
poetry in motion
yet emotionally
i only need to

just softly speak 
for how dare i 
might mistak
ingly awaken 

her from her
night dreams
and take her
into my day

dreams...
