Best Retarding Poems
I Hear SilenceSilent sturdy nothing ringing through my desolate unforgiving ears
A pin drops, a heart stops, a cry, a scream, still nothing phases my hearing of silence
My mind is so noisy sometimes but makes no difference to the outside
A love for sound that I will never know...

Need-DidWater drop
Anguish
Cries
Out
Did I need to taste your sorrow?
She drowned me
While screaming fixated curiosities
Why I would not return
Oblivious to the obvious
Dilapidated wonder-wall
dripping concrete uncertainty
The fusion of incomprehensible dependency
retarding mass exodus of heart
As she cries all over again
I become a ripped towelette
thrown over her tattered neck of...

Some TankaSOME TANKA
The mirror swallowed
my footprints on the shore
I couldn’t blame the waves
the geese kept flying over the head
the shadows kept moving afar
Professors beware
intellectual success
lies in inventing
lies to conceal common truths
and sound holier-than-thou
Little candles fail
to illumine the deity
or golden dome
in the...

BushwalkerMy garden, my garden, my beautiful garden
kaleidoscopic is feathers and flowers
I sit on a seat, a fine trees departing
and listen to your orchestral hours.
Only a wand, magic waved could deliver
beauty stretching for so many miles
where fences retarding are courses of rivers
and fallen trees are the...

Undulating EmotionsUndulating emotions
are encircling all around
Discomboblating and muffling
the impression of sounds
Retarding the stillness
of abiding on smooth ground
It's like:
What do?
I do?
Do I
Take a walk
worn down
unshining
strapping on
buckled high
heeled shoe
bling
Or do I
Sit with
drooping butt
reading
unfortunate news
of their bust
out of luck
Do I
Flail
amid flustering...

Brancheslosing blood like a hemorrhage.
it’s your hands that will bleed this time.
stale, Dauphin eyes break and feed
tragic Calamity, when the wisping clouds
,with their wisping mouths, wisp no more.

placing yourself at a...

UnpardonableIt was unpardonable to burp after communion,
Even though I felt so full up that I felt quite sick,
Because my parents wanted to know in ambition,
If I placed it above my very own body, my wick.
I just smiled broadly to the minister...

Very, Very SoonUnease…approaching panic in me grew,
As I walked out confronting carnage everywhere,
Radiation-rotted corpses fouling all the air,
Bodies bare of clothing, hair and skin,
Slain by war that men thought men could win.
The very carrion worms seemed ready to expire.
And my internal clock was slowing…that I knew,
Retarding with...

Kalapana - 'Home'The blackened earthen ash cradles the sojourn of time with Jezebel's fingers, her lady of the night holds, retarding the new virgin's 'rites of passage' to take up its roots and birth a forest once more. Milked in grief had come before its dawn, now...

No SurprisesMy thinking
Slightly
Retarding
Time ticking
The awful process
Meanwhile
Memories
To sift
Some will say it’s a gift
Others
Will slice their wrists
A creative edge
Let’s say
An act of personal revenge
And a surprise panic binge
To myself
Lies
Under the shelf
Closing my mouth
A disguise
To compromise
Manipulates
Another excuse to relate
Then flies
Over...

Rose of PaperYou are alike to a fine paper rose
Perfectly crafted, scarlet and snow white.
Within your eyes the paper rosebud grows
Sanguine and bright, the most beauteous sight.
A petal of white ~ A petal of red
Blend into pink as they shamelessly blush.
Colours of you, how they go to...

ParcityWe file on through scheming life's snaring wiles,
Unlearning bitter lessons sad yesterdays taught;
Biting humble pies for blunders repeatedly made,
Yet unheeding despite like fights erstwhile fought.
Our one-way treks through world's tasking routes
Are at best rehearsals for imagined second walks,
Which infeasible rematch with sad selfsame...
