Short Thickening Poems

Twilight redness thickening
the last sensations are lost
of a day of solar magnitude!...

I fear the thickening shadows darkening the canyons of the mind.

Husband dines on deviled eggs
That comes from wicked chickens
Potato salad and legs
Somehow this great plot swiftly thickens   ...

Lifting from the Millewa;
swirling to the sky,
billowed to the heavens,
each particle drifts high.
Closing down the clearness
in an ever thickening rust,
from dry and harrowed farmland,
swirls the Mallee dust....

Layers of fat,
melted by acid,
he took in more fat,
and now acid was less,
less melted,
and more piled on,
he was thickening,
and lazily drawn,
it went on for long,
till  it rang,
the death gong,
and he was gone....

Swirling mist
Chokes us all,
Whether or not you’re
Gasping for breath.

Thickening fog
Blinds us all,
Even if your
Vision is perfect.

Pounding rain
Brings back the pain,
Especially the one
You never knew you had....

They warm, 

midwinter’s summer days.

And, 

by thinning  blood in thickening veins,

for lustful and immodest reasons,

cause men to think, 

against god’s odds,

they’ve managed to reverse the seasons.


We dumb-arsed, head-f***ed, simple sods....

It was a teddy bear 
Just lying there
On the floor
The baby had thrown it out
And then cried about
But the gun ended it
In father’s mental fit
No need now for a  bear
Or a father to care
Silence so deafening 
The air now thickening.

happy endings come from
happy beginnings
traveling story
thickening plot
building & rebuilding
characters unworthy
i cant turn the page 
myself when i am stuck
inside i thought it would
be fun to take a ride 
to do what i'm told 
scripted lifted from freedom
captive in the dungeon
of fantasy...

Do you love me on this fine summer's day
as I dream of the bottle brush bees?
Your heart answers 'yes'
fly beneath me, I'm blessed
as I swim through the thickening breeze.

The moon and the stars
are eternally ours,
a betrothal 'tween nature and men
In your slumber tonight
love your summertime wife
as we fly on the wing and the mend....

Fog thickening a mind
  seldom penetrated
Only at rarest of intervals in the
  autumn sunsets of life long lingered

A bygone melody piercing the gloom
  the scene fairly mocked him
Then floated off, leaving a groan
  in its sacred place

Yet a thrill ran up his spine
  his hair on end
Finding his lips pursed
  in long-forgotten anticipation...

earlier
my eyes
were lit
wide and
wild by your
sight now
slightly
they

are growing
heavy but just
as a cloud is
light mighty
storms can
darken and
form in the
thickening

quickly from
cumulus to
nimbus and
in this way
the sunny
day you
made

for me now
fades into
evening
even
then
in
to

my 
night
good
night

amor...

Naked, skeletal, the forest shivers.
Bark thickening in the wily wind.
Unadorned the trees slumber on.
Their limbs seeming to fight off the
onslaught of nightmarish Winter.

Twig tips claw avengingly at the sky
and rake torn nails across windowpanes.
Slumber soothes not the dreamer
who waits in a frenzy of anguish 
for the kind covering of snow....

Cowboy~s Song 

I`m just another singing cowboy 
out here singing in the rain 
I`m just another singing cowboy 
singing about my rodeo 
I `m just another singing cowboy 
singing about my pain 
I`m just another singing cowboy 
dying inn the snow 
red dust is flying down from the river bed 
red dust is thickening on the bottom of my tread 
I`m dead....

Wall Street


Like the poor, the comfortable
you will always have with you.
They hold good jobs, then

get better ones. Like coyotes
they grin and walk slowly
in circles. They hire,

even fire each other.
They wed their own kind
and selectively proliferate.

Theirs is a constant harvest.
Their voices are a sediment
thickening on everything.

Glitch
Systematic, stimulated, preformulated beast..
Popularity, sincerity, just another charity feast.
Direction, perfection, an infection of Lies.
We're fools, with rules, just tools to muffle the cries.
Why? Bye? To die, one fact we must face.
Scared? Prepared? Beware of what's after this place.
Sickening, and thickening the way; our path ahead.
Hate-to-date, so much to say, has yet been said....

Slowly the fog comes creeping, then swish
Fog covers all thickening fast 
Swirling, shawl like, curtaining
Sunflower's yellow gone
Wrapped in tapestry
Waiting for sun's
Appearance
Lifted
Veil 

Allegory: Symbolic work:
A work in which the characters
and events are to be understood 
as representing other things 
and symbolically expressing 
a deeper, often spiritual, moral,
or political meaning..

I'm lost deep and loose losing soul,
my center rapt worry frown and iced
set and waiting for the sun to skip
through warping as melt hope revive,
alone as if blue grey turn white,
thickening concluding folly,
stuck cannot, maybe never again
moved deeply in silent surrounds.
Everything will turn spreading,
what came before will become passed,
Everything laughable, discovering
life for what it is,
folly,
mainstream
escape....

The cool evening breeze blends
With the warm beach air
And the thickening summer
Fog rolls over the shifting sands

The fog moves gently 
Floating over the retreating waves 
And the hushed empty shore,
Toward the hectic urban streets

Fog muffles the sound
Of life, as if 
Tucking us all in 
With a heavy winter comforter

Nature’s nighttime breath
Edges forward, encircles everything, 
Gently telling us 
Be still, Good Night...

Aloneliness,
thickening fog
haze to look out of
safe in your bog

Aloneliness,
creating the space
for Laura to fill
her words to efface

Aloneliness,
time and again
taking me places
love’s never been

Aloneliness,
message so clear
thundering wasteland
silence in tears

Aloneliness,
faithful in pain
ever so near 
my eyes close again

Aloneliness,
most trusted friend
you that I count on
there till the end

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more, So much more.
I lay dying,
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal.
I lie inside myself for hours,
And watch my purple sky fly over me,
And I pull will the trigger.

Sundry torrents ask me for nonsense,
Veiled cloaks hovering in cinnabar sunsets, 
Hovering evenly in evening’s evanescence.

Nostalgia reaping neurons from presence,
So stress rapes neurons from futures,
Plans rope neural knots round tethered pasts.

And so tumultuous lassitudes tear wicked trenches into further trenches. 

Thickening malaise of everlasting unknown senses,
Of what, 
Of why,
Of when.

Until nothing responds with the rhythmic rhyme of more....

Loneliness
 Happy desolation passion
 Vexed my mind and soul 
I was lovesick a  longing storm
 Depressed
 and stirred sorrow
 Darkness borrowed
 Marvel Melancholy Unholy
 My hardship quiet 
By myself solvent and then the thickening I stood alone no One here so desolate no one cares I'm upset I'm a single Breath yet I'm in that 
quiet distressed Restless all onslaught
