Best Overriding Poems
A Deeper DivideDreams herein, our progeny, still birth sometimes inside,
blind and rigor twisted, formless foetuses upon
the terrace steps where innocence bled and occasionally died
screeching for salvation when every shred of hope was gone.
Yet also soared in glorious flight, monstrous span
of righteous flapping wings in the stadium sky,
drummed...

Mystery In Black and White amphibrachic verse
It looks like a kiwi
No, kiwis are fuzzy.
Then maybe a lemon?
or lime? I'm obsessed.
Am I getting closer?
Misshapened? an orange?
A colorless photo,
confusing at best.
The white seems so hazy
while black’s overriding
and grays run together,
an image in stress.
The point of this quand’ry -
I’m missing my...

In the Darkest HourOrchestrated plots from the birth of corruption
Meticulously cunning, blue print semantics
Shadows overriding sheer manipulation
Much more to its sleeves, sly gimmickry and antics
Overlapping smokescreen piling up to its feet
Diversionary tactics, garden variety
Principles dropped, conceded an utter defeat
Distraction thirsts for blood, hounds for the killing spree
When darkness...

ChocolateThis smooth brown coloured ecstasy …
this soft textured sweetness of delight,
melts gently on the taste buds evenly,
satisfying passion with every loving bite.
Thank you to the Aztec Indians
of more than a thousand years ago,
who experimented with the cocoa bean,
and passed on an obsession we all know....

The Grizzly Old Cowboy's Night At the SaloonThe Grizzly Old Cowboy's Night At The Saloon
That wash-bin washed away tons of trail-dirt
Many a pint of blood too said the old man
He was lean and mean in his cowboy shirt
Weather-beaten face and western sun's tan.
Young man, hitch your belt tight tonight
We afixin' to race...

Saving GraceSAVING GRACE
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends
Burning the candle at both ends
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats...

Seasons Come and GoSEASONS COME AND GO
With a burst of colours
Of a bunch of flowers
Promising to bloom
Spring clearly loomed
Such beautiful art
Moved my heart
Forming a smile
Visible from a mile
Sudden showers of rain
Brought no pain
As they fell softly
Moistening lightly
Such refreshment
Brought contentment
Increasing flowers length
And renewing strength
As rivers...

A Soul AwakenedAs I fall asleep, I exit one world only to enter another.
I dream each night of a man I never really see.
Within a crowd of faceless people, I know he's not too far.
What seems like a game of hide and seek, we finally do embrace.
It's...

The yoke of oppression
The set of the system..

Opportunity to eat
