Borne Poems - Poems about Borne

Water-Borne

Seen as a collection of spare parts
swimming in close formation
neither fish nor fowl
from a southern hemisphere nation
sewn together as if torn asunder
the amphibian antipodean
from way Down Under
is the odd-looking bottom-feeding
no muss nor fuss
otter-footed beaver-tailed
egg-laying duck-billed platypus
the males of which are venomous
an excellent swimmer
whenever it dives
it closes its ears nose and eyes
altho' a riparian carnivore
electroreception is

burial borne

on ship’s voyage cosmos-deep
          a captain’s life was laid to sleep
               wrapped in linen mummy-style
     and thrown into the stellar keep

he floated on in endless black
  

Of Loves, Once Borne

She was weaving a silken tapestry with long silver threads 
and golden memories from her life that hadn't yet faded
Drizzles of sorrow fell with every loving stitch taken
until the storm became a deluge, leaving her feeling jaded
She rose from the prick of needling work, leaving it forsaken

Walked to shed the weight of despair in her

Life in a Jar

Life in a Jar

I’d like to find a special jar
To put aside some life,
A jar that keeps both face and form,
And stints the scourge of change.

I’d put therein, a rusted leaf, 
Or summer’s one perhaps,
To always have the seasons at
The twisting of a wrist. 

I’d put therein, my true love’s kiss, 
To always know its

Borne

The men went through the fields and gardens,
Ripping the weeping petals off of flowers
Which had not yet blossomed,
Claiming their beauty was not right.
The men shouted until their voices grew tight and ragged,
Pulling wild horses by their manes to the stables,
Angry that they ran and bucked.
The men sharpened their swords,
And scored one another with gashes and

Borne To Repeat

I have being sending out telegrams
to forsake my whereabouts,
as a fully qualified survivor
I'm trying to reach your heart
you're laughing at me
chewing on your foibles

You cried like Cinderella
claiming you had no friends
and worse was to follow

You blew out all the candles
proclaiming what is to be done
banished to foreverland
borne to repeat the same error again

Water Borne Diseases

Water-borne diseases
Man senselessly increases
With his trembling “No”
To drinks he doesn’t know
Instead of “The firmest”
That portrays “The Dead Earnest”

Water-borne diseases
One hopelessly increases
By not taking The Certified Pure
Or with a bow declining The Impure
Between tap water adjudged pure
And liquor blissfully a lure.

Isn’t affordable to the poor
Bottled water for official tour?
Then, one always pick one up after manicure
Beating

Borne Alive, Awake

I see the bends in the straight lines.
Convince me it’s water when I see wine.
The lies behind the fake or sincere smiles.
The dirt track road of miles and miles.
The pain behind the smiling eyes.

I see the cruelty and loneliness that you create.
I see unbearable pain borne alive, awake.
No matter what colour their skin or how

Illusion Borne Delusion

Maya 
Hypnotic trance
Dance of duality
Joy and sorrow intermingling
Truth veiled

Air-Borne

It didn't need to grow wings, it floats on the breeze.

Or...

If you don't believe science, you might as well pray to idols.

Borne Bright On the Breeze

               soft the seeds set sail windward ...


     next year's bright meadow

Borne On the Wind

In my garden flowers grow,
But I did not plant them though.
Borne on the wind, wild seeds found
Just by chance my piece of ground.

Through the winter months they slept,
Beneath the soil, safely kept.
Then when springtime called anew,
Their time had come, so they grew.

A riot of colour filled my plot,
Wild flowers grew in every spot.
What could a

Borne Again

Bright burst of light to purge the dark,
Observe the change of vision here;
Rush of new sight that lights a spark,
Nature feels strange in new found cheer;
Emerge from old to a life new.
Apt the light feel as love makes right,
Gain what takes hold in being you;
Attest deep zeal as joy takes flight,
Indulge calm fest with a

You Are a Thorn, Borne Deep In My Heart

You are a thorn, borne deep in my heart
   The prick that sticks me with each breath I take
A tether, whether I want to be bound to you or not
   The flame I blame for burning holes in my soul

Droning chants are rants lingering in my mind
   Rumblings and

Borne Again

No one knows the sure way
Watch the show that sets stay


Set the time to feel space
Void in mime shows a trace


No one part can fit reach
Know the heart each to each


Mind the feel now and here
Know a will in sure cheer


No one tells of this loss
Strain now dwells in odd toss


Heed the nudge of wild
