Tribute To Albert
Without time
wonder stops
Questions flounder
barren crops
Without time
motion falls
Beginnings vacant
—endings stalled

From Toil To Rest
From toil to rest you heard the call
Farewell to changing weather
The clock lies broken; forever stalled
Now you roam in fields of heather

We Were the Cancer
Humanity itself
Riding off on horse
Not just pale, but albino
Leaving in its wake
Filth and destruction
Life reduced
To the most resilient
Nature’s wonder
Evolution
Stalled
For now...

False Hope Again
Before you fall,
you’ve got to stand
Your voice once stalled,
no reprimand
The paradigm floats,
on swamps that drain
Where praise cries out,
false hope again

False Hope
Before you fall,
you’ve got to stand
Your voice once stalled,
fates reprimand
The paradigm floats,

Where praise cries out

Automat Acrostic
Air stands still
Urban anonymity heightened
Toils of the day weigh heavy
Obfuscation of scene with light and shade
Mechanical servery de-personalises
Attempts to leave stalled by self only
Thoughts drift but don't settle...

Indecipherable
This evening sky
Lies low, stalled,
Sowing light,
In surrender.
Insignificant,
Vague verse
Emotions, obscure..
Across the room
Dark clouds gruel.
Misspelt claps,
Rumble pursuit,
Chime of nine.
Indecipherable
Thoughts of mine....

Inside the Young Emo Heart
Black tears
Dark years
Many fears
No cheers
I am sad
I am mad
Things are bad
Haters are glad
Cold nights I wept
Hoping secrets we’re kept
The wind often called
But I always stalled
So depressingly here I lay
So ready to pass away....

Or Am I
Stalled out completely on an abandoned road
Phone service is left unreliable
The nearest town is miles away
Karma has finally done its due diligence
Mysterious cries echo throughout the corn field
Just a loner on a lonely road---
Or am I?...

Her Magic Room
No longer can she play 'midst waterfalls
or dive into a clear blue lake
Part of her forever stalled
part arthritic ache
Yet in her home a magic room
wherein's dispelled the gloom
Flick-o'-the-wrist a gentle rain
to wash away the pain...

Believe It Or Not
I've never been so appalled
By such a sudden shock!
When ev'ry plan is strictly stalled-
Like Luck lies in a Lock.
A powdered nose makes way for prose-
Try to relax; it's not that bad.
But it's not fair, and God, he knows-
Just think of all the Love you've had......

A Nose For Spring
Air laden
with the fecundity of spring,
sweet, powdery life brushing every
passing wing and foot stalled
on a budding stem,
receptors greedily unfurled
in vast arrays
to snare pollen dancing
on a breeze
though leaving too much
to float my way and be wasted
on a sneeze....

Rewrite
It's imperative to alter the narrative,
so get out a round of ream.
There's a knot in the plot,
a lost theme with out a seam..
You pause and you pivot.
The script leaves you livid,
falling short of your dream.
Stopped, stalled between acts,
little time to retrack,
as your pen is running out of steam.

The Wait
Tomorrow's dream-like state
has not yet arrived
not yet met its demands;
could it be the frozen clouds
possesing a fall of rain?
And so I pitch here
under the blue of stars for now,
in the climate of lethargy
sinking my feet in a journey
that is stalled, inching a foot
toward hope....

Light Verse
No Show
evening falls
darkness calls
every whisper
emotions malled
love stops
hearts clot
every move
stalled
emptyness sets in
seems theres nowhere to begin
here is to me all there is
sitting in a dizz
wanting to throw a tizz
hurt and pain
nothing there to regain
nothing here left to win
my hatred my sin...

Melancholy
MELANCHOLY
Spring of silence---
No bees,
No ants,
No birds,
No trees,
Silent indeed,
Spring for thee,
Melancholy,
Eden paved evermore,
What we see no more--
Bees no more,
Ants no more,
Birds no more,
Trees no more,
Air no more,
People no more,
All rat race stalled,
Paradise no more,
What was it all for?...

Here After
Seven-thirty-seven on time
But wait! We just stalled on a climb!
Nose dive like a swan
Boeing going gone
No more time to finish this rhyme. . .
Saint Peter has just met the wife
She's still chatting about her life
This queue's getting long
She broke into song!
Hark! Do you hear Beelzebub's fife?...

Today at 5:00
In the morning,
Tina and Nelson
Had intercourse
Behind closed doors,
I saw 'em both
Through the key hole
As Tina stalled above Nelson
Like an elephant
they've been free-lancing out
Along the razor's edge
They do not know
This road has a dead end
Their reward?
I'm yet to decide
I bet it's huge
They'll be back here again
It's a revelry...

One Small Promise
The world twists under the sky
A thought burns into a smile
More and more the days between.
Freedom was a road
and the hitchhike was stalled
Out in the middle of growing old.
Meandering is such a cool word
Unless it's your life
and your lost or cold.
The feelings spit out of the sun
Warm and driven nails
Back in all directions
Pulling us toward promise....

Conversations With Maria
Long walks and innocent talks
the fire in her eyes felt warm
First time kisses leaping
with secrets held back inside
Silence ripped her tongue
as white nights turned to run
Long lost lyrics played down under
stolen from artistic walls
momentarily her hesitancy stalled
tell this girl all
In solitude her black plague pled
another cancerous cell was dead...

Precious Time
Time – I plan you out,
but you go so fast.
You’re going, then gone!
I can’t make you last!
Where do I go wrong?
Perhaps I’m called.
Then things get stalled
or forgotten,
which is rotten!
Precious time -
hang around
just because
I need
you to . . .

Autumns Falls Times-
temps random heated
summer has now stalled it's
now autumns call fall~
*
cool breezes forming
divert distant calms fallings
pumpkin spice coffees~
*
candy apple bleeds
of nuts, caramel, chocolate
cooling down weathers~
*
blistering heat ceased
it's now Autumns Fall time
season of cools calm~

Blocked.
My pen is stalled on paper,
Halted in mid-sentence.
I search my brain for the next word,
But there is nothing.
I look out the window,
Trying to see if anything comes to me,
A memory,
A current event,
But like a tree taken by winter,
My mind is barren.
A songbird always finds the perfect note,
A dolphin always finds the perfect wave,
Yet I cannot find the perfect word....
