My tongue is tied around poetry
Mind fried around metaphor 
Alliteration obliteration 
Oblique technique 
Enjambment enjoyment ended
Ditty writing suspended
Poetry smoetry
Low ebb tree
Bread free
For birds
That

Do not come into my head cause I do not have time
to think of anything else than you 
never think

I do not come to your head cause I do not have time
to think if you have anything in there
apart from me

The pathway I will lay for you
with seeds that I will scatter round
will soon have blooms come into view
so you can tread on fragrant ground
and feel your spirit fill with song
when we can meet among the blue
of blooms that will have sprung along
the pathway I will lay for you!

When you started rating my poems low
I couldn’t put my finger on it
But I knew something was happening to
Make them drop and weirdly enough only 
When you started commenting and acting like 
A best friend to me so I 
Set a trap and now I know
When you started rating my poems low.

I dreamed of leaving this rat race
Even when the baboons oppressed the monkeys
and the bees disturb the king of the
Forest ; the wood pecker continues his mission
The tiger lies flat waiting for his
Prey ; as the antelope eats with caution
also the toad rejoices for the rain 
I dreamed of leaving this rat race.

Our lives could never be the same
When tasting love that knows no shame
Or self restrain; we both give in
To the strong urge that flows within
As we let go out of control
And fan the flame of burning coal
Knowing full well this is no game
Our lives could never be the same.

With your teary eyes fixed on me
we walked to the station; your little
hand glued firmly to mine. No words
passed between us – just a deathly silence
as the train arrived. We tightly embrace;
my heart was breaking but I smiled;
said I would see you again soon,
with your teary eyes fixed on me

Would it sting,
If my forced tear landed in this fresh wound?

Would my throat clog,
From the enjambment of one dozen blue pills?

Would it hurt, 
If I never hurt again?
Am I a coward?
A loser?
A liar?
A dreamer?
Am I lost?
Depressed?
Obsessed?
I confess
I could be a coward
And I may be lost
But with my freshly cut wound
And these petite little pills
I am merged by the desire of relief...

gun- bullet-trigger-boom, done,peace from
your illness, a life clenching unbearable depression
and you know that's the way we
all die, the sick of mind, chased 
by mares night, day, blood soaked in 
cold sweats of despair with hope a
foreign word and only one choice left
gun-bullet-trigger-boom, done, peace from...

You have been my enjambment,
The who i used to call tangent.
Your looks connived,
And i was conviced .
Yet you left without a notice .

I saw your messages  
Tons like spiderwebs ,
They struck my heart ,
A jibed such scars .

Dear my once was my happiness
And so you know ,you gave lessons 
For i am not a fool ,
For i was never a tool ,
Those heartbreaks and headboards ,
Will one day make me a perfect lover ....

Higher above sky


Grow up, get above colour and creed,
if we can't equally respect all religious 
sentiments; if we slaughter at day's end
blame on boundaries; if difference of pious 
and sin we can't see; if stand
firm with stony hearts; if sky obvious
has limits; let eagle explore the grand,
Grow up, get above colour and creed !

All Jambed Up


He just squatted and left it there
nestled gently on the edge and left
without looking back, no trace of regret
following him as he walked away forever
she watched him unsure of what had
been the catalyst for his inane behavior
what had prompted his actions and why
he just squatted and left it there

The rosebud blooms—makes its grand debut 
in joyous spring.  Day by day, its
petals open wide—all stages lead to
fullness in the end. When autumn air
delivers chill, its petals drop as life
and death their endless duet sing. It
then awaits new life next spring when
The rosebud blooms—makes its grand debut

Phantoms roam the night with ease,
Their haunting presence makes us freeze.
With silent steps and ghostly grace,
They glide and float through time and space.
Their wispy forms and eerie glow,
Send shivers down our spines, you know.
But fear not, for there's a guide,
A psychopomp to be your side.
A jolly ghost with a wicked grin,
He'll take you safely through the din.
So don't be scared of phantoms here,
With our friend, there's nothing to fear....

Without a voice it cannot sing
No echos in the heart will ring
Come read,contemplate,give it time
Euphony ,floats on tides of rhyme;

Set free from custom's tyranny
Altenatives in poetry,
Lineation and enjambment
become the poets's intrument.

Beware ,sans pace in patterned verse
Vers Libre scans as prose, or worse

and

        stays 
  
                  a

Apricot marmalade wispy clouds upon the blue
canvas, swiftly changing sunrise reveals a surprise_
charcoal gray, a textured smoke billowing askew
across the eastern sky, Suddenly diamond dew
drops fall upon grasses, Everything expressed anew
as the sun rises, the moon bidded
adieu, this day will pass; tomorrow, too
Apricot marmalade wispy clouds upon the blue
