Best Endeavoured Poems
Shadowland Shadowland
Chained to the addiction of tempting Fate
What if I told you that my life was once like yours?
Torn between love and hate
A shadow silhouette lurking between life and death
Fuelled by an emptiness to which I couldn’t relate
Caution to the wind of besting...

Summing UpMr MacPherson, a mathematician
Was married to Sally,a keen statistician.
With little division to trigger vexation
Their conjugal lives led to multiplication.
First Roland, then Harry and then the addition
Of first daughter Jenny, a gifted logician.
The one common factor of great satisfaction
Engendering fervour and strong interaction
Was love of arithmetic,...

Declaration of Interdependent IdeationWhen in the Course of Earth’s anthro-supremacist events,
it becomes necessary for polycultures to resolve political bands
which have connected Her with human nature,
and to assume among the powers of Earth,
separate and equal station to which the Laws of safe AnthroNature

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots ViStrategically placed when raised
Upwards
By your masterful and well
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing
Skylines
That frown down with arrogant
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon
Predictable behaviour,
When so lamentably remarking,
Then to inwardly digest;
Our conclusions...

The Preparation of the Wise Men - the CamelsThey always made me happy,
The camels of the wise men,
The slowness of their footsteps,
Their self-sufficient ben.
Camels meant there was time,
For the three wise men to think,
To ponder upon their task,
To review their role as a link.
They were...

Wild Thing You Make My Heart SingWe have gone to the Kruger Park, and are now back,
All roads there are paved,
But for adventure, you can drive along very doable
Sand roads, the crocodile river runs parallel to
These sand roads and if you are lucky you can spot
Hippos Or Crocs, which we...

The Geevagh Cross Prisoner-
James Foley a rebelious man within his clan
Lends a hand to his neighbour's eviction and land
Decided in a church yard chat of alarm
A process served on a man is evil and darned
Evicted from thatch is fearful in that there is no...

For the sake of
one story to another
that have been performed
my thought stopped me
before snagged stepping
in this life’s theater
I latched onto the round by round
I asked myself
did my casting
satisfied
couldn’t circumvent existing scenarios
I am only an actor
episodes have ever...

Lost In a MelancholyI remember when I met you...
I was just a scared kid who knew
Life was thirsty for all my tears.
You told me it would be okay,
I believed, but to my dismay,
You were wrong...it was what I feared.
Your optimism did nothing...
Except make this all more crushing,
Like I’m...

Letter To Bereaved OnesI beg your forgiveness for I am not long for this world. Happenstance has led me down this path so crooked and forlorn. Misery has preceded my path and darkened my senses all but torn. Mistakes have illuminated my way though their light be a...

When a Dream Remains a DreamWhen a dream remains a dream
it’s like I dived into
the depths of the sea,
onto the corals down there
to engrave my name
but the bottom was too deep
and my breath too short
and I got bogged up
on the surface.
When a dream remains a dream
it’s like...

CandourSavouring joys of childhood,
Subtle longings as exquisite as silk,
Vibrant temper of euphoria and sombreness ,
I existed as a vivacious being.
Entrenched into studies and passion for friends,
Where intellect seemed to be all life,
Zealously endeavoured on ardent path,
Walked persistent and cherished travel.
Found my love and walked into...

Moments Like TheseIn moments like these you remember your faults
you remember your struggles when life gave you halts
In moments like these you cherish your gifts
your achievements, your gains your vibes and your wits
In moment like these time shows you no mercy
no sliver of patience no penance...

Joan of ArcJoan Of Arc
I loved my country, my brethren more dearer
Saved my country from onslaughter of the wicked
In the deadliest of nights by forewarnings of gods
The gaping elders blessed their valorous commander
The enemies dwarfed by a power more gigantic.
The mutual protection of my divine guardians...

IdentityReservoir of intelligence, beauty and passion,
And as a fairer creation,
I endeavoured for perfection.
Today I stand on tottering platform,
As a mannequin ,
Having lost my effulgence .
I am reduced to nonexistance ,
As you show the cold shoulder,
Having lost my identity.
In defiance to rejection,
As you spurn my passion,
I...
