Best Sheered Poems

FROM DEATH TO LIFE

HIS FLESH

circumference of thorns
holes in hands ~  those healing palms
feet fastened – nail chains

HIS WORDS

Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
(And) It is finished

HIS DEATH

violent earthquake
up from the grave ~ walking dead
wind-sheered curtain splits

THREE DAYS

abysmal weeping
terrified person denies
the cock...

Giant of justice has visited Baba Umkulukulu
The lion that gave in to wolves like sheep
To be sheered for our own freedom has died 
Father of the black and white
Mentor and hero of freedom
Our own Madiba has died  
Anti apartheid hero sleeps with grey hair
As...

Hollow is the chilling winds of October,
Frozen solid is the lunar moon that illuminates the night,
Fears lost kindred roam the ice fields of limbo,
Under the clarity of forbidden warmth, that has been
Shielded beyond the reach of the spiritually deprived,
And depraved.
Spirit wonders drifting amongst the snow...

Holy lamb
pride of the shepherd
oh, Lamb, you were among the first
to greet Me in the Holy manger
that first Christmas Eve

lamb so holy
your fleece was sheered 
to cover Me on a snowy night
offering a warm welcome

lambs and shepherds
saw the star of Bethlehem
traversed pristine drifts
to share this...

shivering they weep...
frightened in their Sheppard’s keep
recently sheered sheep...

There once was a fellow named Musk.
Who bought a blue bird out of love,
He fed it the first amendment.
The greenies condemned him to death.
Turning blue when they swallowed his tusk-

They flashed the dog-eared race card
To blot out the man of the stars. 
For they fancy...

My mind sheered me to self-doubt,
led me to procrastination,
missed opportunities

No drive; no ambition 
you destitute my spirit,
you left me wrecked 

Let your mischievous style
gain the best from me,
lost touch with reality

Lost myself worth,
murdered the courage to live
found me in despair

Alcohol became my companion
till it became...

Chess

Let us play a game. 
We will act like there are two sides, 
and the scales are even. 
I have seen the metal weights, 
they keep under the table. 
They are real, 
and made to cheat reality, 
in favor of fantasy. 

Starving people are easy...

Real men fight,
hand to hand, sword to sword~
ten paces and shoot...Putin, a little
man, missing a backbone, uses boot 
after boot: a larger army, a bigger gun -- 
to the long list of cowardly madmen, 
history now must add 
yet another evil one:

The Russian Bear, sheered...

My Pallor, Swordsey, Chaos, and Chalice, 

Your trots are worth more than just a lot.
Gallant and smooth the winds soar beneath all of your running feet’s.
The competition shall withstand not ones untimely defeat.
I shall cast every one of you forget me nots by lots.
Up and...

sunlit tendrils simper
through knot twisted tree fingertips
ember ambers of umber

a missed mist of glitter glistened gossamer
rises like a sheered chiffon smoke
and dawns voice is spoke...

Another poem for my Violet Flower and Mary 

I like to right, 
I am doing all write. 
I do it with my mite. 
I am swiping at a might. 
I have my site,and 
I can see you at my sight.

White Ted looked flat; 
that hair and pyjama bed smell.
She was getting heavier

My bleary eyes trying not to sleep.
Bone protruded from flesh, 
blooded the seat and gearstick; 

leaning in best I could
to cannulate, set up drip by torchlight
as Firefighters started cutting.

She smiled and tightened her...

I put my hand out to find just space
those I'd help nowhere to trace
learnt my judgement was misplaced
oh how good bonds go to waste 

finding out it's all one way
false personas ran the play 
fake facades fade to grey 
actions don't match what they say

and...
