Best Obliges Poems


At the Point of Departure
A wall holds a bright white clock,
Five minutes tick to breach the span.
Time is relative only to breathing,
While immortality strives to live.

I rise from the depths of pain,
In fragrant mist of triumph.
The room unfolds behind me,
Where flesh obliges morbid death.

In parting, I reap one last...

Love of Our Life
LOVE Of Our Life

Life’s journey swim links 2 defined moments - birth & death.
To survive its stretch we swim different strokes,
Delivered inner strength combats heavy tides & puncture pokes,
Hidden forces compatibly energize different folks,
Fortifying for encounters shallow seas & ocean depth evoke,
Each experience endows wisdom...

The Lust Within
Alone at the bar she becomes a wolf
for someone to devour 
to stop her wild desire for his flesh.
Her loins moist and on fire 
as she sees her prey
approach her from afar.
Her boosoms harden as he walks
the skirt barely on her thigh
as she feel surges...

"... I'm looking for

a crackle in one?

it dawned on

that a hotkee

but only when

Premium Member The Poison
A Concealed exercise concocted, 
Wuhan Lab the playground, 
secretive China obliges,
Western media consenting, 
Medical experts silenced. 
the age of censorship,  

Dictators feigning incognito, 
The diurnal and  nocturnal schemes of top players, 
A script before the scourge, 
The drama of emergencies
A death unwarranted 
alternative...

Brilliant, Grandiloquent, Magnificent, Trenchant
Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...
albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin
witnessing yours truly to blunder
blindly along this dark and stormy night
deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder
'course only audible to yours truly,
I did dumbfoundedly bred wonder...

At some o'clock 
tick tocking...

Save the World From the Toxic Hands of Hypocrisy
there are calamity of swam of locusts
there all are attacked by the virus
coronavirus is attacking the inside living cell of organism

Oh! about this I'm true illiterate

poisonous airing, envenomed environment
make the procession of dead
though chemical-atomic experiment
pacifies the hypocrite imperialist

now-a-days every fierce (so called natural) disaster,
every dangerous...

The instigator relates, we cheer.
Deflates nay Sayers
The instigator retraced all fears
Detest all stares
The instigator dissects dialect
The instigator obliges his faith
What phase? The instigator 
Emblazed freeze gaze.
Counsels full LAWS.
Legal eagle at the cause.
The instigator  has
 FAME No game.
The instigator takes flight 
Ignites surprise
Do fly red...

white red and pink. From the

the door....

The Gardener 

She’s twenty-three and he’s eighty-six
He walks with a Zimmer, she watches Netflix
He has a mansion and a Maserati car
She has her diamonds and uplifting bra

They have a gardener, Chatterley like
He calls her miss, she calls him Mike
The Zimmer frame plods, slow to react

Fly
Onward I go
taking a step further in search for peace
liberation
freedom from deceitful misery
that obliges with the scent of insecurity and intimidating inevitability
of a world filled with so much insincerity and atrocities

Onward I march into the freedom of liberation for my soul
away from the scenes and...

Premium Member Cerebellum's Synaptic Soiree
Lifted lightly from familiarity
Sleep's gesture caresses cells
Taken to nearby bewilderment
Where stagnancy busily dwells

Liquid lambent shooting star forms fragment
Vapid vexations vanquished in fantasy's fire
Mist masked span transcends measurement
Vision's fusion surpasses language quagmire 

Imprisoned waking cognition 
held in category's secure structure 
Dispelled impediments crash cascade
preceding sleep's redeeming...

How To Say Goodbye
She is the one time’s eyes cannot forget even my
Nose betrays this obsession her my dreams
Sketch in caramel complexion a Rembrandt
Oil painted blood and bone my brush her
Death resurrected and every slumber obliges a
Kneel before her lips my back contorted in
A bow to worship them...

A Cup of Tea
stepping out into the open air 
i feel a course of light running through my veins 
the sky, the sun, the grass 
some things never change 
and i pray they never will 

underneath this tree i built 
i gather from the shade 
a sense of...
