Best Unsayable Poems

Unsayable my love for you, I have to hold it in
Were I to say the words out loud, then that would be a sin

You belong to another, and you never can be mine
Even though you are so perfect and most certainly divine

Unsayable the thoughts I...

Turned over to a sexual revolution,
evolved to hijacked rainbows.
Graceless hearts deprave the mind,
a diseased façade of freedom,
to redefine every right and wrong.
Prophesied last days ushering
the Bride of Christ persecuted.

When summer falls away,

I find myself beneath a bending willow tree.

Inside myself, I'm weeping along with it

as its supple limbs tremble in September's wind.



A harvest moon appears as if to mock the sun,

a sun which not so long ago had shone profoundly.

The willow's branches sweep...

They scream a soundless soliloquy,
skeletal sentinels contorted,
once proud standards displaying jubilant banners.
The tidal push rushes in, out, in, out
about ashen bones,
marking where moorings anchored
before life swept away to sea.

We feast on Camembert and red wine
observing the pageantry of  incandescent stars
reflected through halo’s fervid laughter and love.

I drink merrily as thud of  whipped delirium
hammers excruciating pain  off  on, from my brain;
Veiling the limited instances of life’s ungodly time
That I cradle...

Sometimes it seems like a distant dream, 
and I half-wonder if she was a wild figment of my imagination,
but faded photographs, now the only reminder,
prove to me that the relationship was real, that she was real.
Yet, we went from pure passion to stony silence;
and, again,...

Unsayable Things:
I still keep my hands 
full with great hopes & 
Best Wishes 
for me always 
it has always been 
my greatest sin.
On a balmy afternoon,
In the whisper of tall grass,
And faint sigh of breeze-stirred trees;
I feel Your presence.
My Pure Heart & Pure soul always...

Painstakingly I gathered shrapnel from grandpa’s fields, 
sold them to the metal man who came on horse & cart.
Alas, disaster struck...the sixpence, fruit of my hard work,
slipped through my fingers, forever lost in the soil!
A young entrepreneur’s euphoria evaporated into thin air.
My heart painfully shattered...

Unsayable Irresponsibility

Inside the festive bar, drinks free flowed
To swaying music, hips and lost inhibitions.
Beer and spirits rivered down the mountain,
Splitting carefree trees in need of shaking,
With  queue of law hanging on their branches, 
Cues, of the wrath of drinking and driving.

Some heed, most drive...

I confess, there are many things I want to and should change.
But by the same token, there are things better left as I found them.
The moth doesn't need an  assist from me to make him  a better butterfly.
Oh, I just want to make...

How proud and unmoving this winter oak
which stands erect, alone,  glorifying itself-- 
those flaked leaves mocking autumn's request.
I observe such chilled indifference, arrogant like me

who cannot twirl like a  warm bamboo and display
tender intimacies in any human relation. Aloof,
I cannot find kindness to...

a strange world after life in the womb
eager to  grow , curious to see,  running on energy
the bell tolls as the pages turn 

battered by weather and wrinkled
broken teeth, broken heart, deaf ears,
soul all unrecognizable


Growing old broken!

Unknown Unsayable


As I sleep with shuttered eyes, closed;
Bed time my teeth enclosed in a jar;
I can't speak, asleep can't speak no teeth;
Got something to say, Can't speak, dangers around me;
Eye closed encase in darkness, lips and mouth lock;
Got something to say,So frighten still can't talk,...

Escaping realities of dimensional virulent voids
Thrown upon abstruse ambivalent planes of existence 
Where angels dare to dream; demons disseminate our thoughts
Deception and illusion manifest as pandemonious processions preside
Where gentle souls stroll like marionettes in theatres of tragedy
And the clowns cannot remove their makeup: a permanent...
