Best Affixes Poems
The ShadowI have a light within
that I've somehow curtained,
put something in its way.
I cast a shadow across
everything. It is no defect
of the eye but of the spirit,
a flaw I have in me,
a dimming I pass on to settle
the scene and rob color
of its intensity.
I've gotten used...

Rain a Long Time ComingI arrived before the final showing,
Before your heart was erased.
When we run the gamut
There are rules
That cannot be broken.
There are spirals in the mind
That annoy even the great ones,
With pedigrees like tulips.
Free at last--
Or so I thought, but
All hope of winning the prize is...

My Harmonies Plead For MercyDid I arrive before the final showing?
Before your heart was erased?
All I know is that
When we run the gamut
There are rules
That cannot be broken
And shattered like an icicle
Falling to the ground.
There are spirals in the mind
That annoy even the great ones,
With pedigrees like tulips.

Just Another Day In My Man CaveI always arise
at break of dawn,
when curtained solar
radiance openly drawn
upon a vast
wasteland, though thankfully
most (boot not all)
bipedal hominids gone
widely analogous

Embodiment of a SparrowEmbodiment of a sparrow
Deft hand became stifled
One man's life becomes a ripple
Gauntlet affixes a bridle
Proclaimed a idol
Fist clenching low
Archer's imbued bow
Body quivered like his arrows
Embodiment of a sparrow
Anthem for a obscured soul
Wind is a bitter blow
Gauntlet's icy hold
Prolonged the cold
Events transpired,
Such that brought down...

Pardon Mine Allegiance To InfidelityUnfaithful marital transgressions
self admitted indictment,
crime and punishment,
no longer think high lee
entailing no mister re: demeanors,
I searingly weathered
(George by bushed, albeit thankfully,
no unwanted child left behind),
nonetheless one unforgettable
indelible, execrable, and abominable
professedly owned his
civil warring battle of life
transgressions undeservedly heaped
(Uriah hit about that)
(carnal feral hormonally seething
gone astray...

Dwellers and Grazing LandThe Earth is groveled by her own soul.
With her skull welting on the sky, as all.
Affixes the omissions in her memory.
Together with people and greenery.
The grass lies behind shuck's pole.
In a casket placed of ivory, there is a soul.
Below the moon, earn merely terms of...

Life's BlessingsA girl with innocent heart is here,
She loved a boy who was practical everywhere,
Surprisingly he proposed her with a rose
And she too was ready to ooze...,
Struggled through a lot of difficulties,
Be it caste, status or people to mislead,
They glued to each other through thick &...

WordI hear words from a source somewhere outside of my comprehension,
A language that not even the speakers can unravel,
Its slick syllables stick in my consciousness,
But without purpose nor meaning.
The consonants of a far-off land older than time, with walls higher than the ceilings of the...

The Rogue Soldierthe “rogue” soldier
one US soldier gets blamed for killing 16 civilians in
Afghanistan,
and the whole world is chattering
like they did when the qu'rans were burned---
this time, after the 16 were shot dead,
they were rounded up & set ablaze---
this time, humans were burned.
so as the...

Das Furer Trumpeting Totalitarian TriumphCall me a pacifist activist deploring insanity of war,
never a Fitbit moon-unit soldier of military industrial
complex, this articulate baby boomer verily stupefied,
openmouthed, dumbfounded at inane ill logic to send
best and brightest, or even those boasting commend
able faculties of body, mind, and spirit (tracing a long
