Long Kinesis Poems

Across the globe, music ascends—a universal zephyr,
Bridging cultures in harmonious yearning;
Chords converge from Andes to the Zangezur, xenharmonic,
Dulcet tones of a duduk—in the air, they whisper.

Every note—an echo of humanity's vibration,
From flamenco's fire to the...

Enough is enough of this seriousness
Back to the sillies where I belong
Here's something to ponder, my friends
Why is the word 'abbreviation' so long

I don't usually have to think twice
Before giving it a second thought
You're schizophrenic?...

Her hair trembles
In the breeze, carried away
My friend, she sits there every 
day
Through the window, ocean bay
Black hair in a ponytail
In her small hands a turquoise 
sail
So blue is the sky
It is joyful energy
Just as...

The Baywatcher

Her hair trembles
In the breeze, carried away
My friend, she sits there every 
day
Through the window, ocean bay
Black hair in a ponytail
In her small hands a turquoise 
sail
So blue is the sky

Sometimes I feel like a duck out of water,
The greener grass is the water when I fly
And the water when I am natant.

My feathers equally ambivalent
My brain benevolently beset
The curious quandary belied by the placidity...

CROWN THE KING
 
Kendrick, king of kinetic kinesis,
Kaleidoscopic knowledge knits keenest.
Kindled by Compton's kinetic flame,
Keen verses vie for victory, acclaim.4

Knightly in kendo of kindred beats,
Keeps a killing calmness under knit sheets.
Kicks, knuckles, knockouts off his...

Always on a razor’s edge
In the loony cage
Now opening this window
Now closing that
Now busy at this arrow
Now tackling the aching marrow


For the sweet bones moves the cat
The wolf seeks to shift
From old veins to a...

Claire is 21 years of age, a boccia player,  
Who was diagnosed with dystonia at 16,

and shortening…abnormal hands,” clean.  

“There is no known cause for it…unlucky. 
In the…years [just]...

You know you have a small apartment
When Kellogg's Coco Pops echo
Maybe our world is another planet's hell
Sure wouldn't surprise me to know

Why do psychics have to ask you your name
Going to live forever... so far...

I win your heart, your kickass ticking time bomb
I played it fair, no clubs, but love in spades
Feel I'll explode, but outwardly I seem calm
You, diamond queen, with me, jack of all trades

I sail your...

In legend a man named Darth Vadar*, 
Served evil, a perverse crusader, 
I don't say this with pride, 
But the day that he died, 
His death cut by half mankind's nadir.

 A palette of the mind,
Crayola colors now entwine
and symmetry thus unwinds
life is never color-blind.

Dreaming seas of abstract bliss,
waves of chromatic kinesis;
I would be, oh so remiss,
if inspiration, I dismissed.

As I awaken and grab a...
