Long Uncultivated Poems

Of new pains new verses must be composed 
To give matter for the canto twenty
Of the canticle first, treating sunk posed.

I just was inclined with desires many
To thoroughly look at the open deep,
Which was moisten...

Oh look here— behold a dandelion woman
the original wild flower!
I go where I want to go
I grow where I want to grow —
don't matter if   y o u   say no

There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream


Long after that ripe golden sunset gleam
Cool silvery tones, wavering light;
Then winter lonely fallows deeply dream
Into the grayish ghostliness of night.

Far off, yet looming bold and strangely near,
Within starry heavens...

In the depths of self, a shadow dances on the edge of my consciousness,
Whispering promises of power and glory, an unrecognized god in demonic garb,
I feel it pulsing in my veins, like an underground river...

But Never Forget

Stoned out his lonely mind and drunk on booze and oblivion he headed straight 
into memorial abandon doomed and entombed smashed forgotten and lost forever

He once was Jack but his friends called him...

As a young beautiful black butterfly 
Fresh and uncultivated,
Pure as gold and shiny as diamond
A dream of every man.
My mama is proud as Mt Kilimanjaro 
To have a daughter beautiful as rainbow 
Walks around with...

I'm just writing my story
Leaving out all the glory
I never tore them; yet the pages and spine are all but broken
Its letters are scattered, yet still the words form a concise omen
Would you read it...

King of the Glen

Back then when I was a swain,
I pranced across the heath and strath.
Hither and thither on a whim I’d skimmer,
Through the bluebells, thistles, and grass.

Back then, when men had ambition,
Many of them...

There is something wonderful about two people 

who are mentally mated,

They will inspire one another

And put each other on their best behavior.



A human alone can be an uncultivated spirit

And only a fraction of what she...

When words like seeds remain uncultivated,
in somber silence the poet within me dies.
In the misery of my perishing poetic oasis,
petal like poems refuse to infuse idealistic pigments.
But without words, a midnight beast lurks in thoughts
hidden...

A Leafy Land

      The Weald* of Kent. Beneath, the Pilgrim’s Way

I’m lost in a foreign country
But I’ve lived here all my life
Recently I came into money
I bought a tractor and a Bowie knife
Now I’m farming the land, rotating crops
Doing it like the slaves
One of these...

Shavuos, a holiday with two different faces
     One in an uncultivated desert
     The other on a cultivated farm...

  On Shavuos itself Jews soar to the highest...

Seasons of change carry no alleviation.
Struggle to keep order.
A being composed of two souls
one day, the other night,  
both fighting to ignite.
 
Born of the same mind,
Two, once peaceful sons
struggle to please a tainted...

She came in, alright
In the still void of the night;
A stillness only raped by the resonance of her loosely fluttering nightie
Mercilessly thrashed by the whistling wind; wintry as it wafts on lightly,
Transmuting the skin sallow
Yet,...

Along Iran's alluvial fan, 
spanned a virgin, untested 
train
A scourging blight the tender, 
fecund suckers did restrain
A heartier tulip bloomed on 
Tunisia's arid plain
A docile wave the royal 
Jasmine blight to stain  
Transplanted in Egypt;...

Oh man, oh stupid moron twerp,
how could you be so bigoted and intolerant?
For I too saw her every blessed night
dancing in the glade, a youthful dance,
moon rays shining through dark boughs,
as she pirouetted, unshod and...

Follow the red dirt road.
Take it slow, walk it,
this is not an exploration
nor a pilgrimage,
it is a short tour around
the beginning of an idea
and its end.

Move along
past the few rural homesteads,
pass beyond the shacks
and the...

Asparagus shoots, tender, and green~ killed
By late winter's artic blast and hoar's frost
All that intensive work, tossed aside, lost
The natural world rode in so skilled
Though maybe there are some shoots like love's thrill
In poor soil,...

Ages have passed in a matter of moments, imputable spells cast by one-eyed 
wizards and inapt sages, a garden of thorns has blossomed in a field of stone;

Wildflowers are uncultivated vegetation.
In forests and towns growing without cultivation.

Like most they are used in home medication.
Dandelions are nutritious and can ease pain's vexation.

Fever few staves off migraine attacks while,
Low immune is boosted by berries...

The whispering cadence of a gentle breeze,
Over tawny mountains and twin peaks,
A plunging cleft opening to a sweet ravine,
Uncultivated landscapes of sensuous dreams,
There is a cosmic pause in time
At one climactic moment,
Where the sun meets...
