Aggrandize Poems

MAGNIFICATION

Close up, on the smooth couth
meretricious pod, vibrantly
violating my optics violently,
even through the microscope.
Its swarthy stare is maliciously
resplendent and evoked from 
parsimony.

Nature's beauty is suicidal.
pulchritude through lens,
but a spike to the neck.

Even in risk, identified ignorance is ignored.
veracity is a voodoo doll,
if you toss it out it re-emerges like 
a comet
relentlessly.
the microscope aggrandize on its perilous magnificent shock.
like an arboreal boat it is shielded but 
pops in agitation, adjudicating what
personality to adorn.

It feels like a placid charade,
for toxicity comes with respect
and beliefs, adherence.
just like a horse belch loyalty
and a den of destruction 
her seeds swell calmly in hot dosage bean.
opulently lethal.

I see her dancing high on the bed of pleasure
through the microscope, with feets enveloped in predicament and her lips covered in crimson ichor.

A queen, so clean, a routine as green.

Do Not Give Chase To a Muse

a poet who has lost his quills ~  no inspiration his muse instills

while waiting for a spark to ignite ~ he is in the dark sans a light

a poet in self-doubt creates chaos ~ do not give your muse a chase

from faded glory, poet arise ~ open your eyes and aggrandize

Marriage

As you put vermilion,
May entire divinity raise a toast.
As you put your right foot in,
May God shower all the blessings.
As you extend your right hand,
May the honour aggrandize and together you ascend.
As you lift up your eyes,
May your dignity always stand by your side.
As you express and interface,
May the wisdom and intellect amplify your grace.
As you align and entwine,
May your humble presence become a sturdy spine.
As you present a hearty smile,
May your sensibility bring laud and beguile.
As you create, nurture and tread,
May your indomitable will hone an eminent spearhead.

Blinded By the Light

There’s something more valued
than dollars and cents…
humanity trumping pretend

Your mantra has been
that “winning’s enough”
losing yourself in the end

Each attempt to be clever
and self-aggrandize
takes you away from what’s real

The most treasured of things
to be loved and endeared
—your actions can’t borrow or steal

Gaia Sighs

As the temperature begins to rise
As the temperature begins to rise
changing weather patterns mean more storming
humans are doing little; Gaia sighs.

Coal still burns in power stations, likewise;
the car industry is nonconforming
as the temperature begins to rise.

Huge, wealthy corporations aggrandize
consumers; it's all about performing.
Humans are doing little; Gaia sighs.

So hard to get the world to empathize
when many are simply misinforming
as the temperature begins to rise.

Though just a few can see the world's demise
there still is, too sadly, global warming,
humans are doing little; Gaia sighs.

You'll miss the flowers, birds, and butterflies,
shade of trees, the touch of grass, bees swarming
as the temperature begins to rise.
Humans are doing little; Gaia sighs.

November

November is late autumn's prize,
arriving with its last goodbyes,
to usher in cool, crisper days-
perhaps with flakes, or icy glaze-
as trees will shed their golden shawls
to soon don fluffy, snow-white falls.

With time to stay indoors, surmise-
a cozy fire, a book- while eyes
enjoy the autumn's vibrant blaze-
redone from summer's verdant phase-
create a patchwork quilt that sprawls,
neath whirling winds from mini squalls.

Month-end brings time to aggrandize
Thanksgiving Day! We energize
in sharing feasts, with love and praise-
as kin and friends enjoy the craze.
When days run out, next month installs
more holidays- then, New Year calls.

Beastly Burdens In My Life

Beastly burdens of life
Millstones round my neck
Not that I malign my wife
For in my eyes beastly burdens of life emulate a sneaking snake

Writhing on the hard road
Through life I travel
On my head perching an abnormal load
Of which I never cease to marvel

Although pressure my neck oppresses
Enjoying a free ride
As twinges of pain pressure stresses
With unabashed pride

Driven to extremes
That hurt, hurt and hurt
So sharply they satirize dames
To whom sweet nothings I blurt

Not that to me it matters or flatters
Whether dames don long or short
In gild letters that decry fetters
As they snort

Raising my ire
With candour
Warmed on a cold night by the fire
Fanned by the parallax of pain odour

A neurotransmitter smells
Telling me I’m lying
When burden spells and scales
Confirm I’m sighing and flying

Despite averse appearances
That on the grapevine seem to glorify and aggrandize gossip
Inferences on my circumstances
Which in a vacuum peep, weep and fall asleep.

Rackets of Lies and Rockets of Truth

Rackets, rockets and sprockets of lies in their sties fly fast
Treasures and pleasures of truth offer orphans wisdom to last
Choose to cruise in lies and perish
Cruise to groove in truth and prune proof to furnish. 

Spies and sties of lies speed up blights, flights and sites of harm
Growth of truth enjoin teenagers to join joints where they stay calm
Dive in rivers of lies and land into Airport Perdition
Drive droves of truth and aggrandize erudition.

Weirs and tiers of lies blind blokes whom they hypnotize
Vats of verity and truth redeem recipients on planets where they pander to their preferred prize
Fleas and freckles of lies flee when exposure lurks and irks in the background
Youth and truth unite to grow together in wisdom in every sound round.

Limitations of lies and imitations of truth run but can’t hide
Tidbits meet and fit wits to boost blokes’ pride in a right ride
Allies and lie spies rally but can’t parry functions of sanctions
Tallies and rallies of truth trek troops to unalloyed unctions.

The Dance

Eclectic and faint a lonely sunrise
As a backdrop horizon surmises a smile,
Arrayed in kaleidoscoped clouds softly hued.

A glorious triad fulfilled quest, flares
Its entourage of dichotomy suspended
To earth’s finite...blinded in love and mission.

Dance of the autumn leaves, bow to
Rhapsody fusioned in summer breezes.
The cosmos two-step in planetary 
Greatness…

Waltz to His sovereign flow of life
Impaled to redeeming satisfaction. 
Aggrandize your destiny Earth.
Rhythmize a heart beat. Dance.

Walking With Your Eyes Closed

Walking with your eyes closed





Kids roam in the streets
as schools cry for more seats,
Many sleep in hunger
while food in the bin creeps.

Can you lend a helping hand, 
rather than walk with eyes closed ?

Youth smitten by money
losing morals to iniquities,
Drenched in luxuries
a living masquerade.

Can you catechize ethics
Or still walk with eyes closed ?

Abusing nature for greed
exploiting feeble and fleece,
Plundering water and soil
looting air and oil.

Can you fix up this and end 
Or blindness would you pretend ?

Proving valour in bouts of spar, 
To quench this thirst in name of war,
Sitting on throne conquered in ashes,
crowned in Bloodshed.

Would you aggrandize and greet?
Treasure time, will else fleet,
And stop walking with your eyes closed.

So Blessed With Spoken Word

We're blessed with gifts of words that sing a song,
     their melody through ears flows to the soul.
Through reading come the thoughts in silent ways;
     but spoken words can make the meaning whole.

As soft and loud inflections rise and fall
     the feeling fills the air with language art.
The imagery is stronger as words paint
     descriptions that come deep from poet's heart.

The spoken word for poetry brings forth
     those nuances that may be missed through eyes
when reading words placed on a screen or page;
     the voice is more prepared to aggrandize

the feelings and emotions there, instilled
     in written words that come from soul and heart.
The spoken word, our gift, has paved the way
     for poetry to be a spoken art.

Now audio, a medium that we
     just take for granted in our modern times,
will help to put one right inside the scene
     when poet speaks the metaphors and rhymes.

Punctuated Equilibrium

I’m a primitive thinker and not very smart,
But what wisdom you find here comes straight from the heart.
Let me not self-aggrandize, I’m one of life’s fools,
And my pathway is marked by the bodies of rules.

I’m a chief among sinners: your low – I’ve been there,
And for much of my life lived unbothered with care.
My attention was focused on personal gain,
When I wasn’t wrapped up in a battle with pain,

With no deep expectations of help from above
Reconciled to my living a life without love.
But then one day enlightenment came I confess
And convinced me to give up on solving my mess.

What a gift when I let God’s Grace deal with my sin
For it opened my heart to let others come in.

Explicit Perfect Example To Follow

Explicit Perfect Example to Follow

How much time should I take to devote
To poets and glad I have then to quote
Amy my poems theirs start to buffer
Though at times things get tougher.

What if I were to agitate and aggrandize
And even at times personally plagiarize
But another thing I forgot to mention
Never ever was it my original intention.

While you take this for what it is worth
God who is sovereign over our earth
There are times my head seems hollow
God is always perfect example to follow.

Aurora of dawn

Graces all the greens,
Hot air balloons aggrandize!

Paper Democracy

Democracy for elites
Principles never enlight
Politicians aggrandize
Void of commitment
Dalit rights crucified
Every Day, Hour, Minute
Burnt, tortured, raped
Blood tears wept
Humanity if any ever left
Upper caste domination swept
Nation deliberately slept
How can Millions Rejoice?
As largest democratic voice
Shame, to them
Who makes false claim
But never aim
All humans born same
Who can we blame?
Judas, within us
At rank and file
Shouts & writes,
About Ambedkarite’s 
To win Dalit might
And rest in Vanity Fair
Alas, they too will flare
None would care
Upper caste won’t spare
They would dare
Every breathe Dalit share
This isn’t any nightmare
Reality check bare
Democracy nowhere
