Best Unversed Poems

Hell belches out more black-hearted ballads
                     than the accord of heaven that releases

SONNET PATHETIQUE

So sad Peter Ilyich; such anguished strife!
What is the tragic loss for which you grieve
An unforgot dark chapter in your life
So you must wear your heart upon your sleeve
That noble face that should exult your art
Betrays a tortured soul unversed with joy
In music, minor...

     my angel, fallen ...

            gossamer linen, violet lace
                window-dressing body, pressing

I had survived how many summers? Five?
Six? 'til, self-taught, I learned at last
of terror that lurks in situations
which those I trust (myself included)
would swear offer only perfect safety...
My ball rolled under my Grandma's house
and I, well-guarded, scuttered after to retrieve it,
mindless of the tarry soil...

A babe in arms, who knows no sin,
A mothers love for only him.
A carefree shopper, enjoying the day,
Each not knowing what may come their way.

A young man yet unversed in life,
A teenage girl longs to be a wife.
A down and out, drunk on meths,
Each not...

Our first kiss whetted my hunger and thirst
I was a budding rose at your first touch
Love bloomed in the garden for me that night
With such affection, my heart was unversed
Romance 'neath a full moon... there was so much
starlight.
Passion claimed my senses;  our love extol,
I'd...

They go the way they come
the way that would always make tears drop
silently, or with a wail
by the air, or by that they left behind

they go the way they come
toothless and helpless; all, but not their heart
strong, willed so promising
without the strength of their hands...

Luscious night overseen by crescent moon
Playful ludic breeze toys with miles of sand
A zillion stars out in full bloom this June
T'was yesteryear nervous you took my hand

The charming way you were so chivalrous
Stories shared with innocent childlike heart
Time vanished most unceremonious
Our souls melding as one...

I was paving towards the old banyan tree
Where the moonlight was cursed 
To these solitary paths my heart was unversed
Fear embraced and didn`t let me go free.

The hanging roots were a witch`s hair
The mournful leaves tickled my hands
And my legs ran errands
The scene created looked...

It carries with it, connotations of vibrancy, 

freshness, renewal, sustainability, health.

All this is reminiscent of us, how we are;

How our new love sprang shortly after Easter, 

Two days after 4/2/0.


It’s the eye color we share, 

Like long stares, up stairs 

In my room in the...

Intoxication pierces through
Purest form of the drug
Pumping through veins
Heart beating faster
Hammering harder and harder
Breathing out of control
Pulling at hair
A high close to overdose

Eyes roll back
Ecstasy spreads in the core
Tickling as it moves
Gripping chest
Pounding near explosion
Gasping for air
Shadows surround for battle
Awaiting surrender

Unable to focus
Beyond a control
Body...

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." — Mary Oliver


Inside the conscious mind of each poet
dwells stupendous ...

"Complex Of Swerves"

When one has a tender heart
And a heart real and true,
Being among fake, callous hearts,
Is a difficult thing to do.

When one has a giving heart
And so, gives generously,
Being among the predators,
Is a dangerous place to be.

When one has a caring heart
With empathy and...

Beneath the astral sky, where quiet sings,
I muse on days of love and painful things.
A question stirs, dear father, guiding star,

Am I a fool to open wide my heart?

O Father, from afar, please steer my way,
As once again, I feel I might stray,
To one whose...
