Best Ask The Question Poems

Who am I?
This is a question that unable, I am, a definite
Answer to give
For
Buried I find myself,  under layers upon layers of 
Beliefs and prejudices that centuries past, have 
Deposed upon my helpless and unwilling soul!

Who am I?  

Before a reply, to the...

CORONA VIRUS (COV-19)

The Black Death, or bubonic plague, which happened nearly 700 years ago, (in the three year period of 1347 to 1351 in which it lasted) took the lives of an estimated 75 to 200 million people.  It stayed dormant for 300 years....

Where do I begin
To ask the question
And do I divulge my sin
Reveal obsession
Please I need your wise advice
I’m walking on thin ice
What if I pay the price

Will I regret this choice
Do I roll the dice
Trust my inner voice
Play this lottery 
blank uncertainty
Of possibility
Drowning in the...

 - breath blushes blue between us ...

you ask the question
THAT question
so, you're requesting rationality, lucidity
when you stand before me dressed in pure starlight
ONLY starlight, with moon drops in your eyes
splashing your coy smile like rare south sea pearls
damp from our cool evening swim, you...

I stood on a hill and screamed for peace...
Lost in the noise were friends that teased...

A mask that hides what's wrong and right...
Too many stones thrown that blinded my sight...
 
Wolves that prowled with a sheeps face and a devils soul...
Crept slowly in the dark...

I look at you and wonder, I wonder if they know,
If they look beyond the show, the ponytail afro,
the tatts, the kicks, the cloud of smoke, 
the smile, the eyes, the jawline, the stroke,
do they see you beyond the thoughts you provoke...
ummmm I wonder....do they...

Hey YOU,

Yes, I’m talking to YOU
 
Please listen to me…
 
You used to comment on almost every poem
But you don’t visit me of late
So I have to ask the question,
Why has your support turned to hate?
 
 
Actually… don’t bother answering that
because now I know
A...

The Sinai Rose finch, oblivious to the commotion in the nearby city, busily gathered dry grass and floral fodder to repair her nest, disturbed by a human behemoth, snatching the thorny brambles which hid the outer funnel of her secluded cul-de-sac.  The needle sharp...

A wonder of wonders
you emanate light
lovesick and deranged
I'm dazed by your sight

your eyes are beguiling
your lips tantalize
my body's a'quiver
for you hypnotize

your touch is like heaven
your kiss, my demise
my melting has started
you'requick to surmise

you know you have power
you relish each sigh
moving in closer
you press against thigh

I...

FLESH!

Distain for the comfort of others.	
Blasphemy riddled lips.
Persecuted by the blood of another.
Convicted, wounded and ripped.

An errant thief that haunts this feeble mind.
Surrounding the haunting memories of distant past.
“Who art though,” I ask?  Are you here to judge me?
The light of comfort wilts and...

Is not a man without love a speck of dust frivolously falling in a dream?
As he blindly stares as malefic mirrors rust with no reflection to redeem
His heart does yearn and may combust where love has lost its gleam
The speck is swept in a gust...

Mother called her children 'round
and said I really hate to bother
but I have some rather sorry news,
I think I've lost your father.

He was in the garage a month ago
and the attic sometime before.
He could be in the basement now
but I really can't be sure.

It seems...

Demons are everywhere
seen and unseen
They use you and abuse you
yet they follow
They pull you to the right
they pull you to the left
they spin you around
yet they follow
They manipulate you
confuse you and torment you
yet they follow
You ask the question, WHY Lord?
and he answers 
follow or be...
