Long Resuscitates Poems

I will tell you deep dark secrets
That only men share
In private conversations
Where no flower is allowed
To bloom

A woman can be like a video game
Rejuvenating
Makes us feel like boys again
Yet we sweat and toil 
Huff and...

Those on whom love whispers soft nothings
Count themselves lucky
For such sweet things
Dare to drive them plucky

Drunk on infatuation
Biting, stinging, feeling, caressing
In minute details affection with perfect attention
Impressing

Their hearts with delicious delight
Touching their most sensitive
Sparing rivers...

B-R-E-A-T-H -  OF -  L-O-V-E


Summer sun or winter freeze pulls heartstrings in trapeze. . .
Cotton soft to gnarled callus vows have thread along my way
embroidering ribbon actions to pliant swings of reactions
like a...

Rapture when it voice embraces mine
Encapsulates the beauty of each sound
So clearly describes my mood all time
Makes me traverse the world round

Like a mother’s love without imitation
Strength of strings...

Through the snow I saw one glimpse of green
Through the flakes, grass rarely uncovered, peeks past
Oh I miss you green!  Like lovers torn apart at summers end.
This glimpse like a letter from her, reminding...

Weighing smiles and frowns on life's scale,
hope verities balance is kept.
But the scale tips ominously
if you add the weight of tears wept.

Lovers form a duality,
sharing their feelings day and night.
And fear morphs into faint shadows;
that...

Spring brings an end to outdoor diversion,
Though some don’t mind its seasonal distress,
It could be an annoying occasion,
When the body is overlaid with stress.

There is an upsurge in the earth’s waters,
They overflow and pay guests...

Ever missed that warming love,
That from honest heart comes?
It’s more assuring than all hopes,
Far sweeter than honey’s combs. 

It’s such solacing truth amidst lies,
Heart-strengthening feel like none;
That renews sick worn-out sinew, 
And resuscitates the injured...

The pain shifts
ubiquitously 
out through the ruffled edges
of the grey red skies
into the cardboard caricatures
of the standstill mind
a numbness transfixed
over the monotonous eyes
a black and white wallpaper
of dusty springboards
the digital sounding distant 
chatter of the...

The evening breeze,
cold and damp,
in the twilight of his life
reluctantly resuscitates
the vagaries of the mind,
mostly nonchalant revelations.
A mind storm begins to brew
creating disconnected 
and fragmentary visions
of hidden secrets
and disappeared friends.
 
Ephemeral and absurd tales
of love...
