POEM: Defamatory Uncertainty


Defamatory Uncertainty

All I do is punch the calculator,
Hoping I can weigh the water with my basket
My heart, my loud accelerator
I have produced only the racket!

Sought after and preferred
The dance of innocence
Confused, my tears are added
Formerly adored, my tainted Conscience

It’s only a time,
Now, the season almost ripe
I have seen the peace sublime
Farther away it goes, shrinking into the dark pipe

Subconscious of what may be
Scurried my heart hides in the tidal storm
The beginning this is meant to be,
My end assuredly has come

Tired from denying the truth
Horrified by the thought of the tiny beautiful life;
Uncertain of continuity I fear the truth
The sacred long ingest upturned my life

Consumed in fright;
Deserted by knowledge;
The wait, my body painfully tight;
Look out, my image tainted in sludge.

Trailed by different paired diamonds
I must succumb to nature desires
A different course and a close bond
Conservatively I become even in my attires.

Would Mary be told of me?
How closely related we seem to have become
In a cloak, its responsibilities to my face it assume
Her shines and glory for me, cumbersome

Shall I assume the great position?
The tersely placed words;
Shall I be paid with Mary’s better commission?
Hypocrites cling shamelessly to my world

A journey started with fear
Judged uncertainly with vague assumption
At my predicament my heart tears
Situated for now, later my consumption!

Tis fear that hold responsible;
Tis agreeable torture my trouble mind
This i have accepted as sensible,
Alas!  The fears not ending it bind,
Life alone is Fear!

POEM: LONG POEM FOR PEACE (PT IV)

Long Poem For Peace (PT4) I am awake I know you don't like me , you don't like this get up and leave you will find I will follow you right into your dreams you will no longer hide and wash your hands in innocence our cause, our reasons, our way of life its always the same side its your side its just a finger on the trigger quick snap dead explanation and a few civilians killed by mistake I'll be a mountain of bloody legs blown off by land mines resurrected arms and hands, shattered severed heads raining down I have the strength of all the men killed the innocence of the children the raging sorrow of the mothers the sadness of the fathers when they realize that it is their own sad art that paints this picture its the cold kiss of death I will kiss you this morning in the big ditch in the field you will stand beside in the cold dawn its your own child's eyes you see looking up at you its a crack, a thud the kiss moves down the line you...

POEM: Long Poem For Peace (PT 2)

Long Poem For Peace (PT2) D on't tell me I don't know I am awake I am here to haunt you dead child cold blue child dead destroyed baby girl shrapnel blue deep pits above her eyes a hole in her face and an arm gone ragged don't tell me any thing I am awake this isn't an idea the fires of hell are kept lit by you fools you know who you are but you did not count on me I will stop you now In this early morning hour I know I will tell no one I will sleep and gather into a force of truth afraid beyond words young and dead no lover's arms to return to only you standing at a marble headstone I wont leave you alone the chopper settled in the gooks nest high as a kite the air was bath water the smell was gasoline and swamp it was fun incoming was buzzing but the tie sticks and beer took the afternoon just hit the ground in the raging dust empty the clip run stumble and fly into the shade the world is pounding, one big heart beat still...

POEM: DOWN AND OUT

Down and Out Who cares to notice the penniless? Who cares how they became ripen? Griping you to their desperate chest, So jamed and bashed crossing to beg, Limps and crawls from spot to spot. . My chest flames to such doleful pleas, Clutching hooves strolling thier way, Smokes my heart to hear them cry out, ‘‘Oh how will I succeed, Oh how do I live?” “I crave you with every breath I got in me” Old and weary, young and lanky, Resting beneath bridges for warmth,  Feasting on scrap wearing tatters, Without buddies, no family, nor us, No one seem to see or care little. Having nothing that matters to the rich, Pleased with what they receive with hope,  From break to night, twenty four seven, Lay noisy tummys by slumpy gutters, If they disappeared who cares where to? Miserable basking on side walks, Faces pale like out of oxygen for days, Targets of hunger, cold and epidemic, A smile can warm a paupers lifetime, Let them in, they knock, share your little.
