Best Mollify Poems

My strides left shallow imprints 'pon a sandy shore
Gulls cried out in alarm and swarmed cornflower skies
My thoughts turned to Avalon of King Arthur's lore
while dawn broke as an amber yoke in morn's sunrise

I shielded my eyes from the sea's shimmering waves
sauntering restlessly with a...

Displacement 
_______________  =  Velocity
    Time

An equation with little importance
A lesson taken in physics class
But, something the physics teacher said made deep thoughts emerge
He said: “TIME goes on and never stops”

Places are visited and memories are cherished
Pictures are taken and smiles...

Horse Story 
Whatever you do a horse will not be accepted in 
bar or an inn, our horse after hours of ploughing soil
was give beer to drink, this because the home made 
beer the farmer had brewed wasn’t any god.
The horse drank deeply but after...

It is Labor Day
I am paid not work
but what am I to do
the festive trimmings are not attached
so the perk is an useless quirk and
my boring schedule quickly fills in the gaps
as usual, my alarm sounds at 6am
the coffee maker perks at 6:15am
my rested body...

Why does the heart get all the credit for love?
By so-called affairs of the heart, 
that most storied of organs is not unduly inconvenienced. 
It beats, 
now faster, now slower,
that is all, its task ever unvaried. 

But the brain. 
The brain is swarmed
by a scream...

WHILE YOU SLEEP

while you sleep
my fingertips
ache and throb on
the keyboard of 
my vacant mind

you are my night
that arrives in
one gigantic
step over the
polite lines where
we cast our skins
and slide into 
another life

you are my tears
that mollify
burnt moon spheres
upside down hearts
of dripping wax
warnings and fears

you I touch...

Ladies and Gentlemen, good folks gather round!
What I have here to show you is worth every pound.
It will soothe your dry bunions, seal your canoe,
Moisten your leather, and stretch your shampoo.
At my own huge expense, from India to thee,
The famous, spectacular, Big Jumbo’s Ghee!

I’ve used...

Here we are
come ~ bring it
in the morning
at noon
and in the evening
and if time permits you
and your legs could walk you
in the small hours of the night
like one, or two, or three

Here is our dwell
the comforts of all daylong
the market that markets us to feed
Here...

An Autumn Intermingled


When twilight sends lavender to the sky,
And reflections of light ignite the orange,

(Alluring colours of autumn mesmerise),
Sickle of moon is unable to cut the dark,
(Unfathomed beauty in orange and yellow),
Robust waters of rivers to shores' embark,

(Trenchant evanescence of greens),
Crispy leaves with breeze flutter...

Once upon a time
In the distant past
There was a country
Built by the sweat of her adopted children
And painstakingly through thick and thin
Became God’s own country
The light of the world
Whenever she spoke, the international community stood still
Enemy countries quaked and trembled
While allies scampered to mollify
The police...

Among Crowds Mingle

Among crowds always like to mingle
Which does make my soul tingle
Seeing how happy people are
In America in bright new car
An RBI can be caused by a single.

On dreary morns when rain is nigh
I'm weary of the misty sky
when Autumn's season comes to call
and russet leaves begin to fall.
To Summer I whisper, "Goodbye."

The lilacs petals wilt and die.
Blustery winds cause me to sigh.
Can't cajole them to stop or stall
on dreary morns.

No slumber...

MESSENGER

Blue circles 
white lightning
my days vivify
ease pain
mollify
fright nights
and sleep
fighting

red numbered spheres
three bouncing dots
forgive and forget
me not’s 

conversations
reparations
private jokes
and 
innuendoes

soul breaking
life saving
love in
dialogue

(In memory of my sister, Linda)

When she appears,
It is my silent call she hears.
She is not a vision or an apparition,
I'm startled, spellbound and mesmerized.

It's a feeling of heaven sent,
With an overwhelming feeling of love.
When I feel her presence,
She has calmly arrived, and is by...
