Best Entailed Poems
At the Mountains of MadnessMy ordinary life -
like the plain stretching across the region of my birth,

rather smooth.
Though sometimes on my path, I’d encounter hills,
they were few and were not difficult

One delightful star-studded evening
I took a blissful took a exploration
Over peeked topped hill
And crag and pleasant sweeping vale
As the sun got warmer and warmer
On my adventure I had entailed

Gentle soft rain awakened the shifting landscape
As the bird of paradise responded
Whispering ...

loving moments"loving moments"
always from the start of us
everything entailed love
involving tender touches
one by one safely savored
under lights of sun and moon
as time intensely waltzes thru
engaged are we with feeling
igniting a million breaths
only extended to you and me
ultimate is each embrace
yesterday the start of life
soaring...

This mass of land, created from the amalgamation of two
Stood alone as the most eastern Caribbean island in view
Embedded with coral and volcanic ash, her strength
A peaceful place to inhabit and explore at length

The onset of tragedy lingered, with the Colonisation...

dedication and faith in the Lord;
her strictness punctuated a shared vision
that focused on learning acquisition.
Her punctuality, precision, and determination
to teach her pupils with discipline and right focusing;
as a rule of thumb she always obeyed

The Gardener's CreedWhose woods these are, I think I know
You'll find her in her garden, though.
The garden one sees driving by,
Is not the same that meets the eye,
Of she who with a spade and hoe
Is possessed with every plant to try.
The work entailed you cannot know,
In making...

LyricsThe unwritten lyrics swarm in my head like a hornets nest, the studio is silent. The microphone taunts me in it's little square box, but it waits for a time when we can talk in private.
I hear the instrumental get louder from the twist...

Magic BeansAs I wander in the wilderness
dark and dreary
stumbling into an empty space
with brightness rendering me blind
i sight a huge beanstalk
with just a single pod
hanging out for me
only four beans within
Confused, i wonder at its sight
and unsure what it implies
are they mere beans
or magical...

This Time Around Is For MeTraduced! Forgive but don’t forget is the adage
How can one heal whilst storing the ugly image?
It’s the lie entailed by cowardice…
So a mind, replete with forgiven but unforgotten
Turns irrational and presumes in verbiage rotten!
Imminently, bruises need a poultice…
Mired in all the untoward-pardoned-unforgettable
Eclipsed visages twist-taunt into...

Unconditional Paternal Love Toward Shana PunimScreaming writhing violent
uncontrollable spasms of abandonment
immediately followed her (like Mary's lamb)
where e'er she went
verbal communication attempt didst rent
ear piercing outpouring
barrage heard clearly by vested gent,
a bajillion miles away e'en

or special ABC letter writ agent,
when aforementioned younger daughter
