Best Beleaguer Poems

I wrote these lines 7 years ago, slightly edited today. 
Perhaps they have more meaning now than they did then.

"There are so many nuts in the soup!" 
That's what I hear and see and it's not absurd.
Some poets add a pinch of spice now and...

Moonbeams kindle ambrosian dreams
Love evolves on auric gleams 
A gem in space, a costly pearl, a Luna
Fetching felicitous feelings, a fervid...

My chamber teems with tensions, taut, that logic can’t withstand,
fragmenting mental masonry with memories unplanned,
as bitter tears from hazel eyes reduce the stone to sand.

Dim shadows cast by candles flit across the haunted room,
beleaguer apparitions, pale, that stalk me through the gloom,
usurping purloined purple forms...

For all the tears we’ve wept, for all of those we’ve lost.
We’ll weep again some more, as we’re told we matter not.
You know they will not say it, but it’s there within their eyes.
The old and frail aren’t welcome, as they’re steadily pushed aside.

If you...

an Arabian sonnet

Raising up a falcon brood – bucolic,
one becomes extremely melancholic.
Yesterday a clamor vitriolic
told of eyas’ danger diabolic.

Trying panacea called a mixer
feeding drops of magic juice elixir,
desultory effort served to fix her.
Little did I know there was a trickster.

Still forbearance caused my heart to...

Oh thorn of my heart,
Why do you linger,
You raptured on the ramparts,
With gentle coos to bemuse and beleaguer,
My antagonist persona of strangling vines and petrified bark,
Entranced by your words of amber,
I found solace in your arms,
Entwined in love at last I eagerly await your call,
And...

         Of the years'
In order to maintain
           Our Faith
We must beleaguer Our

Home for Horn Haiku

Have a home for Horn haiku
Enjoyed by me and you
More than just a few.

What is proper procedure
Should we be a besieger
And also beleaguer.

If a stranger take my hand
Trip to paradise was planned
Is on high demand.

Why bite the hand that does feed
Who we...

All that glitters ain't gold
Weighs that we've been sold
Don't let my words scald or scold
Listen
Hear the wise 
Of an owl with eyes
As old 
As the first
Uni
Verse that I learned
With a scowl upon my brow
Only to curse
In reverse
The many things we humans do
And I'm guilty too
Too...

I pen a lousy poem
where verbperturbs,
noun frowns
And adjectives 
act as clowns
 onomatopoeia breeds paranoia
That swarthy sounds on murky mounds
Are conspiring to beleaguer
The Celestial castle of self
Simply for power and pelf

Where transferred epithets
Serve old meals in new plates
Fixing ''weary''with the ''way''
And insead of men, calling the...

Have an Alm in Palm of Hand

?So how about this poem in your hand's palm,
While some poor person had sought an alm;
For poor pegging
While begging,
Hoping  that weather continued to be calm.

Does anyone actually laugh 
at any of my various poems
that are hilarious even though
precarious?

When...

When first met him, he acted like leader,
used to pretend as a great achiever;
sought to bypass the laid down procedure.
Some disliked him for acts as beleaguer;

His working process many did not like
his didactic style workforce did dislike.

His behaviour in office with juniors
was rough, never bothered...

If only you were me, 
Would you beleaguer me then too? 
Your words they pierce through like bayonets! 
You do not discern the imperium of your words, 
And I would never pray for you, 
To be in my shoes. 

My flaws they are naked, 
Open...

The rain pon the windowsill
The pounding of my heart
The sound that looms round
the empty room
And rends my soul apart

The pillow next, not damp like mine
unslept on lo these many years
yet stained a bit with drops of wine        
Spilled...
