Best Cordiality Poems
Love's Last WoundFriends?
Are we still friends?
Can we JUST be friends?!?
Oh such a horrid, charity-stained question!
What a keen and salient dagger it wields!
The pity that you wear like black lace finery,
Is as deadly and whetted a sword as any raised in battle ...
The patronizing look in your...

If Not For DyingWhen I’m enticed by the allure of forever,
Ambivalent, I query, prospect of eternity:
If there’s no dying, what fate’s my destiny?
Would such existence be sans meaning?
Would I be the compassion of pious soul
If I am blessed with permanence of life,
Or a deathly tomb of a heartless...

FriendsMan loves friends
Babies have toys as friends
Children have peer groups as friends
Young men like making friends
Friends can become spouses
Entrepreneurs have ambitions and dreams
as friends
Stars are friends of the moon
The splendid glow is the friend of sunset
The shore is the friend of the sea
We are...

If I Were a Dictator-2Not allow politics to pollute the populace
With issues like regionalism and language
Permit free movement of men and goods
Connect the country with tree-lined roads.
Deal ruthlessly with anti-national elements
Issue stern warning to all political animals
Mischief by them may attract prison cells
Or deport them to far off...

Brisk Cold Winds of OctoberThe threshing floor divides the brisk cold winds
and too gentle zephyr of mortality.
I choose the rose-red blush where death rescinds.
My mind reels with the thrill of whiteout blinds
buffeted by green field sentimentality.
The threshing floor divides the brisk cold winds.
Exciting the throng, leather football winds.
Gruff padded...

ForgivenessWhen angst and hate my rancor stirred
Fuming indignation, reddening my face,
Emotions choked as muscles tightened,
Slurring my speech, abandoning grace;
And rational discourse then disappeared
Vowing vengeance to correct a wrong,
Dissonance hollered, yet no one listened,
Donning grimace that discords prolong.
Denouncing voice of the unjust, unfair,
I brewed in anger,...

Confrontationally Calming Creating Cosmological CowsYawn said Saudi Arabian prawn in a bin liner watching a cake. Chopping cutting cuticles cubicles clubbing clang clanging clam. Drama is not an item in a scene. It is merely to disguise battling molluscs and lettuces in flowery beds. Aroma of lemons should never...

Your White-Hot Hatred.
It rages from within itself,
feeding on its own inner fire,
ablaze with the vilest of ire.
With spiteful, toxic vengeance
'neath the gloss of civility,
it smolders silently smokeless.
With mean, murderous intent,
'neath the mask of cordiality,
it burns so flawlessly flameless.
With insatiable, hellish wrath,
'neath the charm of sincerity,
it boils up...

An Ode To My CotOh, dear Cot, you have supported me steady
From my days of infancy to senility
All through life you are my close buddy,
In unrest, it is in you I seek tranquillity.
Sprawling on your chest, to what all places I wander
To dream’s never- never land where...

Pathway To PeaceThe pathway to peace is strewn with goodwill
Arms embracing those suffering from poverty,
A thousand points of light upon a shining hill.
To the Golden Rule pledging allegiance still
No violence like before plagued our history,
The pathway to peace is strewn with goodwill.
Forgetting what it means to covet...

Universal GreetingsSaying ‘hello’ around the world
is more than a vocal projection
It’s a movement of lips, swaying of hips,
and at times complete physical expression
Saying ‘hello’ in Asia,
calls for your best leaf of tea
While Europeans make do
with much less conventionally!
For Africans and Caribbean’s alike,
the cordiality of our 'say'...
could...

Have You Got a Light Please?Fumbling for my lighter I saw you:
unlit cigarette awaiting illumination.
I smiled - appealing for enlightenment,
and you came to my rescue, igniting
my interest with a spark of ardour.
You struck the match that lit our love.
You struck the match that made...

RatiocinationCome my soul...
Let us bend the night air a bit
From aerial views
make licorice paths
mapping our trails through the firefly fields.
Let us disband with cordiality
for I am as heavy as rain with the weight you are carrying
Rain left transient, in pregnant clouds, with no release...
Let...
