Best Roughs Poems


This Game of Golf
This game of golf as is this life, 
Played all life, perfect still can't be, 
Ever reminding of one’s wife, 
Put on pedestal, upon tee, 
Handicaps, roughs, bogies stay rife, 
And played as if on edge of knife! 

Easy to start, hard to finish, 
And...

SHE IS LADY ZOYA

From rich bucket bills of grandeur bliss
Dawns wobbling chills from cruel treachery
Harsh is the murmur of the night, my Lady
Has Aidos spang slain as disgrace ink reign?

Swarm of bees threats and afire the days
Seems... to live life, one must be on break...

I roam the edge of the roughs, ponds 'n streams
For illusive precious golf spheres per chance
Long looks through silt sifting for glints it seems
That make themselves appear to start the dance
Bits of dimpled light that want once again
Away from their sunken settled dark place
To take...

DIARY NOTES : Mad-House Maths

March 30th., 2018 - Another day sets in Paris

The home-bound Octogenarian trundles from the Mall's town centre
Back laden with the day's shopping
His hands numb from clutching load-packed plastic bags during the two Kms and more
The sore reddish-smudge of a sun cocks...

Aids and Eloba
Once I had a principle with firm authority 
Not to believe anything against another 
Nor report or reveal a secret until it hurts more people 
And that too more severely than the people concerned 
 But here I am going to do the reverse 
And...

An Open Letter of Warning
An Open Letter of Warning
So many ills are here in this world 
Open the Facebook
On the thousands of pages 
There is only blood 
From the rapes and murders 
From wars and occupations 
This earth has been turned into red from green 
Nearly every one is...

Played golf

First nine
Went fine

Next nine
Not fine

He muffs
In roughs

Sand trap
Oh crap

Tough break
In lake

Bad hook
In brook

Blew putts
Some klutz

Hurled putter
In gutter

O'er par
By far

Disgust
He cussed

Clubhouse
To souse...

Lamentations of a Proletariat
Lamentations of a proletariat 

Loaded to the brim, withouted in a pack of "obersver-non participants"
folded like a wrap, yet forced to lack in the ranks of "server-run-anticipants"
dare to pass a comment and... a knife to your jugular
they claim to pass, yet, your life was the...

Infinite
Look to the skies,
Infinite is you soul,
Search through the dark,
Find your reason for life.
You have been through the roughs,
Every day brings you pain,
You are done nursing ambition’s wounds.

Every seed you sow
Falls on hard rock,
Your life is full of damaged dreams.
There is no more smile on...

Premium Member Sorrow
Sorrow wears a face
As pain grinds in place


Bitter feels the touch
As sad spoil roughs much


Sorrow is sad deep
That suffers lost sleep


Gall can forfeit taste
As pain lays stern waste


Sorrow lumps old dirt
Drags even past hurts

Millions
millions of waves, of days, of breaths, of glances
millions of lights, of heys, of thoughts, of chances
millions of melodies, of beats, of romances
millions of short months, of too roughs 
but millions are not enough...

Veracities
No one ever said anything of any 
importance during those long, lonely years at the 
dinner table.  Awkward ugly silences filled
with talk of pars of roughs of lies

as metaphor for truth
while discussing this club used in that sand trap 
or that swing always creating...

Your Love Disappeared
An adventure awaited from the moment we met
It always was and I'm sad to see you go
They said all things must come to an end
Your love disappeared
The hopelessness plaques
I got put in my place and
You left me in a world of pain

I was bound in...
