Best Protean Poems

"Heart"  

Deep fissures formed
in the cracks of 
the nowhere place
where time leeched
bleeding claret 
through the green 
veined blues

protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
prematurely 6ft under
mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience 
inward reaching

the divine central tableau 
revels in its simple existing 
the complexity suspended baulks
at the...

Alpha and Omega, in the beginning was the word
Made spirit, made flesh, instinct, emotion, passion,
Apotheosis of all human experience!
For primeval man and woman, one breath,
One idiom, one allegory, and human nature
Materializes in the vile, venomous vociferations
Of the cold, calculating, crawling creature!

The word, truth or prevarication,lofty
Incandescent...

Autumn’s Promise

Autumn’s promise of love compels us true,
As we walk in this magical moment.
This change of seasons reflects Nature’s will,
As the trees shed their leaves freely and the 
Afternoon wind’s protean emotions— 
Touch ever gently our bodies with their 
Cool-warm breath as we hug ‘n...

and lost while wracked in pains of change,
wilted seed in wintered eye,
hands clenching white in advent rage,
knee bones scuppered, bleaching age,     
knelt stung as tears run dry,
writ black ink in masthead sky,
and lost now wracked in changing pain.

and wracked in change,...

Protean nucleic processes

explosive diversification
  punctuated equilibrium

  Paleontological hypothesis
  spawning sudden flora and fauna
  competed against diametrically opposed diatribe
  pairing diehard Religionists
  versus Doubting Thomists
  which Creationist advocates
  threatened non-believers

An excerpt taken from a lengthy tome,
written courtesy a favorite poet of mine.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia  struck within a blink,
I swear yours truly never took a drink,
nevertheless he witnessed
and falsely accused of being a rat fink,
when everything but the kitchen sink
instantaneously disappeared in a...

Raindrops falling

Haven’t seen the morning paper yet
Here are the raindrops
One, two, three..
The headlines must be…
Floods in Mumbai

Don’t go away
Listen to the voices

One, two, three…
Song of the protean wayfarer
Dance of the gypsies
Prancing sluices

Dont go away
Here goes the plangent fiddle too


What a way to water the day..

Here I am
Opening a new finesse
Creating a rapport of mercurial genre
From nadir to zenith
I never thought the labyrinthine of searching would never end
The demise of one long ago
Propinquity would never come close
Yet amidst a facade
A reprieve
In the quintessence silence I can breathe
Savior faire becomes poignant
As...

Prognosticating Present Plight...
Perhaps Preset During In Utero Protean Stage?

Reviewing, sans my life
and arduous hard time
lock, stock, and barrel on regular basis,
and of late composing
this, that, or another rhyme,

now I acquiesce past 
trials and tribulations
contributed positive, and
negative effects, yes prime
air really prepubescent nexus

with entering seventh grade,

They came to us
from out of the Mangere mist,
players upon the corporate stage,
phantoms masked with permanent
smiles, till the truth was
standardized and filed.
Behind the mask a
different shade, protean shadows
of indecency, when one’s breath
impeded with wry words of complexity,
perfidious overtones, transcribed from
Babel tongues.
Life now to be in...

An image of the netherworld envisioned by a misanthrope

Mein kampf fraught re: 
emotionally/psychologically challenged 
impossible mission to cope
compared to classmates, I felt like a dope
and entertained escapist fantasies,
whereby Miss Rainbow 
(sixth grade student teacher),
though robbing the cat's cradle, 
she would abscond with me,

How weird is the human nature,
How unscrupulous is he a creature.
He acts like a god when he is strong,
He becomes reluctant to admit that he can 
Ever be wrong,
He dreams of owning the whole planet,
He wants to leave behind his each ‘n every cognate.
At times...
