Best Enclaves Poems

Her dreams entangled in twisted ropes
perturbed fate of banished desires
innocence shriveled in raging fires
they haven't known her bubbling hopes.

Her existence exhausted in spiral cobwebs
blazing her world in exploding scars
yet wounded faith reaches soothing stars
in her festering pain from tides to ebbs.

Her harmless thoughts chained in...

We read about the slaughter in a place far overseas,
where the multicultural blending has been there for centuries.
Where church of all denominations have been standing side by side.
Where neighbours have been neighbourly; respect seemed to abide.

Seems that politics and power can infiltrate a settled mind;
dig...

Upon rising, awakened by 
ripening scent teasing my nose, 
trilling my lips and tongue, – my taste buds opening
to bird-like songs as dawn's light breathes new life
and hope into my journey, so begins
a fresh flutter of time, an extending 
run of exclamatory chirps and wing-full
stretching...

Three 'Palestinians' murder innocents
     three Jewish women in cold blood
  Then dance on rooftops and in the street
     where fellow bullies and cowards nightly meet

  When murdered themselves
    in a targeted assassination

What yonder lies beyond the Moon and Mars
in cosmos dark beyond the distant stars;
a beauty in the universe serene,
by mortal man, a beauty never seen.

What myst’ries lie in nature’s vast enclaves
beneath the ocean’s undulating waves;
within the darkest depth’s unknown to man,
a beauty hidden since our...

This All Could Be
AtTractions of the urban surfer,
ExHibits at the shored enclaves,
AbIde the faithful their sole journey,
BaSking rays of summer's retreat,

CoAstal clutter of crowds roll on,
CeLebrities of the day made true,
LuLled breaks in surf even the tide,

NeCks swivels as eyes scouts the beach,
GoOd times are...

I was born in a muddy time
created to be a field of broken bricks.

Years wove their weeds.
There was hope,
enclaves of suburban heavens
old men in grim pubs spoke of.

You might think
that I pulled myself together,
dug my boots out
of that land of bitter muck.

Not I,
I killed the...

I don't think it's just me.
I find myself challenged to change LeftBrain cognitive beliefs,
languaged abstractions of personal feelings,
perhaps because it is not possible to change Right Brain's
Elder feelings of co-passionate trust
where dipolar co-arising positive pleasure
is not dissonant noisy pathology.

I discover this issue as more of...

Das Don doth debilitate democracy
driving a collateral wedge
deliberately dividing differences
collaborating, collapsing, and collaring
disparity amidst ever
increasing homogenization

extant within contiguous United States
across world wide web for that matter
attested by increased
spike among multiracial
amalgamated enclaves, individuals mixing,
where preponderance of melanin

generally affecting predominance
regarding increasing swarthy
naturally copper toned skin
across vast majority...

Years of friendship now comes to close 
As wooden box enclaves your bones
I incant the dirge picked just for you
Through vaulted halls soft notes flew
White robed deity their incense burn
Satins power to dismiss and spurn
Then wild birds call over open grave
All life’s sins packaged and...

Trees outside are raging
anger screams through
branches down to leaves
twigs chastise twigs
     As bark grumbles
     rough emotions
     suppressing the trunk
     seeking the root of the problem
    ...

Heritage enclaves of my memory
dissolved away ...
Disappeared the night my freedom died
I woke up the next day,
		my liberty completely necroticized
Seeing my new reality
		     thru dead tyranny zombie eyes
No more freewill;
just a mindless shuffling along,
doing whatever the public broadcast loudspeaker says
Eating maggots...

MY LONG LOST FRIEND (NIGERIA)
By Edward Ntebri Egbelo 

Just like snow you left the clouds; withering the earth with enclaves of your shadow
Memories can never escape the glimpse of your far gone character; your smiles of hope in moments of dismay
Your pedigree nature in guiding...

Parisian nights magical made for hand in hand walking
Along the light sparkling Seine,
Across bridges running to old left bank enclaves
Magic nights soft city lights
Footsteps echo into alleys
Taxis purr catlike in misty morning dew
Who walks in these early hours just before dawn?
Bakers rolling croissants, freshly baking
Deliveries...

PTSD

Like rabbit in the headlight caught
I want to move, i know I ought
But quicksand stuck, I’m petrified 
My body still, arms laid by side
Stretched out on mattress, naked, soaked
From sweat in which my body’s cloaked
My eyes beneath my eyelids twitch 
I feel spell bound, as though bewitched 

For...
