Best Outruns Poems

     Unswallowed lumps of lobster immodest
     Crustacean returns to pincers persimmon 
     Waitress whisk indiscernible clears linen 
     Custom of one equates her eight hour day

Time outruns those who don't sprint 
To keep up. It never turns back
Or bothers to wait for idle souls

Why carry coals to Newcastle?
Time misspent is time gone forever
Easy come and easy go

Time is too busy to wallow in
The stillness of now. Indeed, it does 
Flee...

An alligator always ate addax and antelopes.
Baby bats began bouncing before burping 
Caterpillars climb cable crossings carefully
Dingos don't dine delicately during dinner.
Eager elephants enjoy easily eating eggplants
Funny frogs finally find flipping fun
Granny goat 's girl got green grapes
Healthy heavy happy hippos hate horrendous heat
Iguana is...

Beyond is Jordan, past the great Red Sea,
a distance cov’ring awesome, frightful years.
Invisible her pathway heading home
while Eve awaits the target of her soul.
Through darksome deserts, wand'ring back again
she learns the whereabouts concerning God.

The Holy Spirit is her breath from God;
she praises Him for opening...

THE BUG BITES –AGAIN!

We begin to get restless,
And know that feeling
The one when our heads
Start reeling!
It’s time to visit the Kruger Park,
Although sparse rain, and
The bush will be stark!
Adrenalin starts pumping,
And hearts thumping,
We arrive 4 hours later
At our camp
Wow it’s hot, 39 degrees
Waiting motionless is...

Show your love and let it go
Show your ego and confine it
For your love it shall return
For the latter not so likely

Like the falcon on my arm
The swing out in the park
Just like a sailing boomerang
Or a cradle in the dark

When the hare outruns the...

A mother's hand trembles
     as she brushes a tear from her eyes;
while watching her awkward child
     standing all alone, forgotten.
As others, in their budding self-awareness,
     catch glimpses as they run by, playing
at their...

DAMSELS IN KUTTANAD

In Kuttanad
The damsels
Never outruns girlhood.

Like lakes,
Stirs in gentle breeze.

In the brook
Perches becomes stars
At their sight.

At the twinkling anklets
Water lilies flushed.

From the untied hair
The blackened shadows flies.
Seeing the ebony bossom
The sky bloomed wide. 

TIME

Time
The turbid water
Everyone catches fish.

I'm waiting
turn to come.

FANTACY

Her cotton sari
Ensnared the...

My heart pounds swiftly and sweetly
As I set again home bound
My body is calmed in unreached respite
My soul outruns its line
And catches untouched pleasures

In a little while
I will lay my bent and beaten back on my bed
And rest my burdened head on my mother’s lap
I...

‘Old Spice’ and wet grass carry years 
of understanding between us.
What I wear and you gather into you,
become a language neither of us know,
but comprehend in mouse-tracks of deduction.
 
You read grease and engine oil, as if grease and engine oil
were two parts of a...

The Adventures of Bruce the Moose ©               

When Bruce the moose gets on the loose	
Out running across our highways	
He gambles a lot, but, never been caught	
Reaching the other sides always.	

Bruce the...

Its dark, the woods

Jacob sits beside the campfire thinking of all his miseries. A rainbow of thoughts of which one draws attention. "Why". The cackling of fire can still be heard. The thought taunts him.

A brief moment of silence, the cackling fades, no howls, no...

I can't describe how I feel for you - that's true
There are nights when I don't know what to do
This weekend, I was thinking about our love, left behind
I'm grateful to see you tonight in the back of my mind

In the long run,
You're my precious...

Dad blurts out in fright:
"I don't know what to DO!?"

Dad's abandoning God...and I'm striving, 
With all of my effort, but with little doubt, 
I assure dad that he's strong and he could always rely on us
With all of this dread, without a doubt,
Dad's hating the...
