Poetic Fragments
(A)
When
one person’s act of overt aggression
…….is a storm of silence.
(B)
When
the only flight from fear
…….is to stand and wait.
(C)
delirium’s trip
oh, it all comes so quickly
this dance….in your maze

Teardrops fall
from
closed eyes
steeled heart
holding
still graying secrets
long forgotten
place, time, persons
hastened steps
down blasphemed rows
as
thunderstruck cherubs
gently dropping
tulips
o’er the graves
slain enemies…..once brothers
we each have our time
tell our tale
liberation only
sometimes centuries
after the fact
euphoric smiles join with addled minds
as broken hearts escort age old furies
to the bridge
of separation
our angelic echoes
cascading
into the depths
of
a
dark
looming
eternity

the many rooms
and broken corridors

Dented Saint
Posted in Abstract Poetry, Prose Fragments with tags Anxiety, Empath, Empathy, Manic Episode, Prose Fragments, Sympathy on September 8, 2013 by lengesinskiDented Saint
In chasing shadows
a crushing of anxiety
a building of uncertainty
the only certainty-
-are the pains that will have to be endured
their hurt will be without end
their suffering without end
their peace will be crushed down to fragments
their resolve will be broken
no worry
…..parts of you will be taken as well
gradual building of giants
small things with exaggerated shadows
elongated phantom forms
magnified sounds and imagined torments
the enormity
of our burdens
overwhelms
your pain
but
my empathy
I see no other choice
but to carry……
truth be, I would know no other way

Yesterdays and Todays(Aftermaths)
hangman’s noose
swirls and rocks
in an ever caustic breeze….
public opinion
ever wraught
flawed
one sided
albeit millions in number
aberrant animus
a dance of blinding hate
not needing of clear and rational minds
eyesight decidedly obscured
determinations
long since concluded
Justice
Fairness
Impartiality
all seemingly obsolete extinct passé
perhaps only sleeping

Candlelit Reflections(faces and names past)

Candlelit Reflections
(faces and names past)
Merest flickerings
now only a complete absence
of a flame
that once set out
burning brightest
at it’s apex…..
summit of youth
only where and when
high blue skies….
of promise
are believed to be without end
unrestraind vigor
unbridled brashness
signaling out….
with resounding vibrancy
Almost Challenging
Lounging gods of past
to the world ahead
daring once
and reaching out
well beyond a calling to
darkest skies
of a starless night
that with certainty
will one day
come calling…..
until that time
when the flame’s intensity lessens…
until the day
where finally
light is extinguished
an inevitably succumbing
into a long quiet…..
a velvetted darkness
forever

Shema
Posted in Abstract Poetry with tags Abstract Poetry, In With The New, Independence, Letting Go of Old Hangups, Out with the Old, Personal Freedom, Shema Yisrael on January 15, 2013 by lengesinski

The First Paragraph of the Shema as written in a Torah scroll (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Shema
Frozen Ambivalance
Almost Intoxicated by Waves
of Indifference
A Complete Inability
to Ascertain
Truth from Lies,
Where Exaggerations Would
Reign Dominant
Slippery Slopes
Where Neither Footing
nor Gripping Possible
Trading Freely,
Equilibrium for Constant the State of Flux
At the Last Minute
Unforseen Opportunity
To finally Escape
the Clutches of
Blind Servitude
And Shadows of More Gods than Can be Named
That Seemed
to Always
Shadow from Childhood
Finally,
So Foreign
Complete Openness
Tasting for Once
The Sweet Freedom
Of
Independence

The Emptied Tree
Posted in Abstract Poetry with tags Depression, nature, Seasonal Change, weather, Winter on January 7, 2013 by lengesinskiThe Emptied Tree
Time Escapes
Dulled Whimsies
are
All that Remain.
Lingerings of
Cold Sensation
But What is Left?
But For
a Plethora
Empty Platitudes
Left to Ring
…Ears to Mind
Gradually Built
Over Time
To become
a Frenzied Crescendo
Alas,
For the Rolling of Endless Skies
Of the
Longest
Grayed Season
Matching
Perfectly
A
Dearth of Empathy

Ghost of the Present
Posted in Abstract Poetry with tags Shadows on December 3, 2012 by lengesinskiGhost of the Present
Living Vicariously
Just Allowing
The Shadows to Pass
In Between Places
Words..Unspoken
Hidden Regrets
Sounds from other Times
Past Places
As the
Sights Pass from Eyes
to Gray Hidden Places
Memories Off
Foggy Landscapes
Even Vaguer Recollections
Buried Deeper
Listed Between
Impossibilities
Discerning Between
Realities and Fantasies
Mere Smoke and Ashes

Illusion #999…..

Illusion #999…..
Divergent Pathways
Past Rolls of Lazy Grey Ambling Clouds.
Of Unrequited Promises,
And Hinted Conjecture.
The Rows of Hidden Purpose
and Convoluted Meanings,
Seeming to Protrude
Through the Mists of Time.
Reality being Cold as the Marble Slab Atop…..
