Attentions Poems

What is Love?

What is Love?

A four letter word comes from heart
Where faithfulness established from the start
I never imagine how it feels
When I found the person whom I can shared the reels


Then I wondered why and what really is?
The memories or language of love from this
I surrender to the genuine thoughtfulness
I divide my heart and open for forgiveness

Now it was still confusing the real meaning
Of love and how it can be dealt, too confusing
I just know that love is boundless and true
No one can ever give its exact value

Just love, feel it, share it and endure
This is the meaning of love when pure
Intentions, attentions, perfect combination
You and I can love, no buts, ifs or question

This is poetry

I'm lover not a fighter, 
me spilling exclamations 
instead of blood, 
its what I resamble, 
the ink in my viens that paints not images 
but setting reactions on the loose. 

Please! blame me not, 
creativity is access, 
mean not to invade 
but i'm without bearings, 
this din in my words, 
put flames to my surrounding,
 
I mean not to brag, 
help me extinguish this overflow
 in my system, 
it just can't be contained, 
it wanna consume everything before me, 
like a natural disaster, 
my  presence devastates, 
tie your attentions, 
before i'm charged for being creative.
I am poetic ink.

not to dilute your egoes 
but to uproot your reactions, 
like acid, 
i'm here to burn not your minds 
but your word perspective and perception. 
I said it i'm poetry 
not that I was born of poetry 
but soldiered enough 
in gathering meaning 
from all sources to your presence, 
of what poetry is.

Australia, you must listen'

You dear land of sun and 'strong spirit' do not be driven as
In (the scamdemic) and you can win it.' There may be an attempt to draw your attentions away.' From your homeless
And jab injured also dead so sad to say.' Attempts of false
Flag narrative; invetions' a very old eurpoean way.' To take your
Attention ( from fixing your own land i say) do not get into
Blaming do not fall for hate.' Unify and reason? Its not too
Late.' The mass immigration has been a tool to this end.'
Do not deviate from Australias needs your own country now defend.' Do not be 'pro other nations' or you will be
Lost..just turn off negative news sources.' And tell their
Agents  (to rack off!)

Amorous Attentions

The intimacy of knowing your body 
as well as I know my own…
The unspoken permission 
to touch with my hands, 
to feel with my lips, 
my tongue,
 to move upon and explore
 the most secret of places,
witness the most intimate functions.
Your salty sweat is delicious, 
your saliva is like fine wine. 
Each pale hair that covers you 
deserves attention and devotion. 
I want to taste the words
 that spill from your lips as you speak,
 taste the flavor of my name on your mouth.
I want to crawl inside of you,
 as if you had a uterus 
and it could be the womb 
where I suck my thumb,
secure and safe. 
To know you as intimately as I know myself,
 and to peek in at your thoughts…
to seek and find that hidden place
 where your soul resides!
 I would that I could lay seige
 to the shelter that succors your naked,
 vulnerable soul…
and live there with you, 
hold you in my arms for eternity.

Black Widow

I came upon a widow, black, 
carrying a poison sac.
I asked her what was in her purse.
She suggested I call a hearse,
giving me a terrible fright,
asking if she could have a bite.
Your attentions, ma'am, I rebuff.
Of this chat, I've had enough.
I'm afraid, kind sir, it's too late. 
I've already fixed your fate.

snow leopard

soft, yet ...
like a breath of Noshaq
you are gone in a whisper
bound for some dreamy realm (imagining)
where exquisiteness affords you
a throne in Valhalla …
you dance among the frosted peaks
like Misha with the Mouse King
prancing on a puff of wint'ry wind
yearning for the bloom
of early Spring
the nuzzle of a warm nose
or the easy gift
of a frozen lake of swans

hush, you ...
about your business
secret stories you tell to the mountain
of visceral attentions, keen
wondrous things that we lesser creatures
will never be privy to -
things that you find your common bidding
but that fools like me -
wholly taken with sublime form
and ghostly airs -
find spellbinding ... breathless

enchanting ...
you are a feral phantom
demon AND deity of a covert kingdom
I am cursed to only conjecture on
or put to inadequate word ...
a magical dominion of
deliberate and brutal elegance
that has graced me with but a glimpse
a rare, tender, precious instant
blessed by the substance of a moment
far too beautiful to ever
capture.

Once Again

Once again bewitched I be
And why?  I do not know.
Her eyes alone enchant not me
Nor do they Love’s seeds sow.

‘Twas not her hair that did me in
(‘Though not unlovely it).
Her touch did not my fool heart win,
Not a smile this fire lit.

Something more intangible,
Something more divine,
Apparent yet invisible
Secures attentions mine.

A word?  A phrase?  A furtive glance?
Her perfume in the air?
What sets my stricken heart to dance?
What draws me to Love’s lair?

No matter what the implement
That did so shackle me,
My freedom’s key is to a woman sent
(In this surprise none be).

Blissful torments! Anguished joys!
Old friends, I welcome ye.
Watch how she, unknowing, toys
With my captivity.

Wealth

when many wise people attract by the colours 
of money , pitiful earth shares bloods 
of innocent folks. 
Quote by poet. 

wealth
which seems 
to bring worth
in this world where 
more wise folks just worth
good things which catch
attentions 
of rich
folks.

Quick Help of Some Heartbroken People

If you meet a  heartbroken woman,
who thinks about taking guns 
for destruction. 
come with some flowers
and stand to be her protector.
she can wish to carry the river 
on her head because 
of peace restoration
in her life. 

If you meet some heartbroken men 
who think to make suicide 
make quick songs to get their attentions.
telling  them about their importance in the societies
As the heads of the families. 
telling them about the queues of many queens
of their choices in the areas who will lose them. 
they  will feel comfortable immediately 
and stop to make suicide. 

Remember that no one is above Love
As other said that no one is above the law.

A Smart Warrior

How good is it when 
You know what you want in life
And focus on it. 
 
A good warrior 
Roars and does not have time for 
Useless attentions

When it comes to fight 
for the rights of snubbed people 
Who need  total peace.

drawn -

you …

came to me today
(from anon)
wholly untold to your concerns
but real enough …
I was plodding the beach, tending wounds
when you tossed your smile at
me from a shrouded sun
off whitecaps, bursting into dazzle -
echoes, alit
each a memory, recaptured
brief as a blink …
but I was transfixed, as always
immersed in your burnt ochre irises
gold flecks like shiny confetti, fluttering
they hadn’t held me since …
forever, really
and as then, the brilliance within
was unsettling -
a piercingly perceptive acumen that
probed, unchallenged
though your countenance always
smoothed the edges -
a bubbly exuberance and gravity
an eager affability -
thawed everything around you
and … everyONE
effecting the grandest of illusions
that whatever you aimed your attentions at
was your dearest concern
and your one TRULY careful involvement …
when in all actuality
we -
the matter and matters about you -
were just a multitude of
merry moths …

to your flame.

Bantu Poem , Shahiri Mussabwa 5

Bantu men always fight 
For very beautiful flowers, 
------------------------------------------
Reason why they pay
More cows to get roses.

Message: 
A very beautiful woman is always 
A princess or queen in the eyes 
Of majority  bantu men...
So well treated. 
Marrying a very beautiful woman,
It is a good stand for a man
But also a big risk 
To lose his life. 
As there always be presence 
Of some secret rivals 
Who always  come
To destroy his marriage 
by some special treatments secretly. 
It happens for some
Very  beautiful women
To cheat due to much attentions
And special treatments  
They get from men
Here and there.

Bantu Poem , Shahiri Mussabwa 4

When you astonish by seeing
 An elder brother Calling 
His young bother
 " Big brother or father " 
______________________________

Because he is so rich 
And he depending on him , 
You will make diarrhea ,
 Flies will follow you till you die.

Message:
 If you are not informed 
About money
To buy respect, 
Popularity, 
And attentions, 
You will be putting to shame
 In the future.

Lent

Lent is teaching me to re-order my loves. 
In the stillness of morning, with the early birdsong, I realise that in the absence of that which I gravitate to, the absence of the thing that brings physical comfort, there is a deeper desire, a deeper love that wants to surface in my attentions. Beyond the aching of the familiar; there is a deeper longing that I can only truly meet in these present moments.

For Oscar On His 2nd Birthday

Out of the mouths of babes echoes “Car! Car!”
  and points he the bended finger waving.
In my close held orbit his rising star
  shines in playful hugs and smooches craving!
Wise an old head on little shoulders sit,
  Oh, that likeness of face, that heart of song,
the torch of wonder in a child’s mind lit -
  I see it all and know that you belong.
That first smile, first kiss, first coos outgrowing
  did all my past attentions rearrange -
we are now that bond which comes from knowing
  how you were begotten and I was changed.
My darling boy two years a gentle soul
know that I your praises sing to the world.
