Coherently Poems

An Editor Grills a Cub Reporter

“You got the goldfish interview, as asked?”
“I did, sir, but he lacked the wherewithal
to answer me coherently, I fear.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? The fishing section
is looking pretty thin. You showed up masked?”
“Of course I did. That goldfish flu’s no joke.
He said he’s scared of casual infection.”
“Your killer question, then? Your master stroke?”
“What is the capital of Senegal?
My curver, that one: it’s my knuckle-ball.”
“You got a cogent answer?” “Nowhere near.
He knew, he said, but couldn’t now recall.”
“His love life? Did you ask?” “He yelled, objection!
He said, that’s why he hates newspaper folk.”
“But that’s the very thing with which you’re tasked –
to get the sexy stuff! You think he’s *****?”
“He said he’d tell me after taking coke.
It seemed to me a little circumspection
might do the trick.”  “Unmitigated gall
is what I call it. What I want to hear
is, if he’s in that witness thing – protection.”
“I got the feeling he was trying to stall –
I probed him, but he had no recollection.”

To be Cherished

To be Cherished


To be treated well
To be spoken to gently
To be taken at one's word
To be heard coherently
To be seen clearly
To be cherished
To be celebrated, moles, whiskers and faults
To be worthy
To be worthwhile
Should I move planets
Should I move universe
Which one could this be...

Love Conquers the Mind

we sat down at the table
started eating
we had a pleasant conversation
I reminisced about the past with a friendly heart
enjoyed the meal
But the one who sat before me
Couldn't tell the story coherently
the message is truncated
scattered into the air
Uncle next to me whispered
--I was cured of tuberculosis
by her in a town
where there were no doctors and nurses
which was severe in childhood--
"she has out of my mind."
Throughout the meal Time,
she was busy bringing delicious food
in my bowl.

Genuine Commitment

It takes a leap in faith to view life differently.
Whatever is shown on a specific story screen.
Consider a chutzpah of a mad tantrum coherently.
Moving forth implies that I crave to be seen.

Whatever is shown on a specific story screen.
To scale the peak and survey the scene below.
Moving forth implies that I crave to be seen.
Utterly, to view more peace than hate grows.
 
To scale the peak and survey the scene below.
Kindness over wrath, brightness over darkness 
Utterly, to view more peace than hate grows. 
Fear falls the same as cosmic dust lit our sharpness. 

Kindness over wrath, brightness over darkness  
Your eyes are clear to show your heart and head.
Fear falls the same as cosmic dust lit our sharpness. 
Your thoughts are intertwined with dread.

It takes a leap in faith to view life differently.

Sinners Lust

We all have are own individual struggles in life 
& we fall in love multiple times 
Our hearts get broken 
& life puts us through some emotional changes 
Some pain is harder than most to forget
Drama played out scenario's 
not paying attention to how life unfolds 
right before it explodes 
stepping on concrete barefoot bleeding on the inside 
can't express the feelings bottled up inside 
raging out at the world from which some can't hide 
lost in all the chaotic silence with loud whispers 
like a promise that's formed from so many lies 
and many hateful goodbyes 
bound by echos that cry sounds of life's only promise that we will all die 
putting caution signs up in the air slipping in life's many I don't cares 
washing our hands just ain't enough 
coherently living with misconstrued trust 
all it was, was a sinners lust.

Gone But Alive

We know that life is a journey.
And Death is also a continuation of the journey.
As it marks the end of the body's journey.
And the new beginning of the souls journey

A branch has fallen from the tree
But he only drifted to become free
In a manner coherently sloppy like a scree
To obtain divine authority like a decree

Perhaps his time seemed too brief
But let's not lengthen it with deep grief
True it came unannounced like a thief
But his memory should be decorated like a chief.

It's not how long a man lived
But how impactful was the life lived
Although it's expected of us to be grieved
But it's actually time to get his memory archived.

It's true his parting left a void
Because of an incident we couldn't avoid.
But he is not trapped in a void
Rather he is moved on like a car that has been refuelled.

Poetic Justice

Do I offend you with my rhymes
Since when is writing poetry a crime
I was gone for a minute 
Now I'm back In my prime

No this is not a rap
Its my way to vent and 
Get out all the crap

Yes I write differently
Rationally and coherently
Straight to the point effective 
And efficient
Thats my goal that's the main mission

I call it poetic justice
With a coherent toughness

I write what I see
Then turn it into poetry

With a concentrated awareness
That's focused on fairness
Poet in latin is vates
Poetry is my concientous way to participate

Yep

This is me starting to write this poem.
I'll put down my thoughts, see where they roam.
Amid my past and future dreams.
We'll see if it's all that it seems.

Adrift along life's many pathways.
It's here and now that always stays.
What can be said for gaining knowledge?
The kind not taught in any college.

We're left to figure day by day.
And pray to God we find our way.
We drink our coffee, take a pill.
Wake and sleep and wonder still.

We watch our tv's grow each year.
Expanding joy and love and fear.
Reality's reality is getting tricky.
And only some can afford to be picky.

We get in gear and keep on moving.
As if a mystery we are proving.
It's not about solving the puzzle.
But rather, coherently rhyming with guzzle or muzzle. :)

People Evolve

People, we are, and people evolve
Yet another mystery, overdue to be solved
If our views are predestined to, one day, change
Then proving our point, well it seems rather vain

I like to keep things, under my thumb
A predictable existence, nice and numb
I struggle to vouch for my current convictions
Knowing one day, I’ll coherently ditch them

If you don’t stand for something, for anything, you’ll fall
Tattooed by a sharpie in the handicap stall
 and elsewhere, too, this quote, I’ve saw
But, people, we are, and people evolve

You Are My Absolute Goal To Be Attained

A tiny glimpse of your face
Makes my soul 
Blossom 
From its roots 

A casual gaze of your eyes
On my face
Makes my heart
Expand infinitely

You’ve lifted me 
From the darkest pits 
Of this ill-fated journey
That's long been taken 
Falsely for life

At present
You've scanned
My entire being
To inversely transform it
To suit your 
Mystic motives

and

You've taken
Complete ownership of my 
Whole heart
With absolute authority

At present
You've fed my soul 
With your blessed nectar 
To merge it coherently 
With your 
Eternal heart

In this precious moment
An ultimate truth
Flashed into my conscience
Like a blissful lightening:

"All through my 
Tedious voyages
With uncountable
Sharks and whales

And

All through my 
Uncharted flights
With innumerable 
Storms and hurricanes

You’ve been 
My safeguarding angel 
And my only goal
To be attained 
To abruptly end this
Ultimate chaos
That's long been taken 
Falsely for life!"

When You Follow Your Heart

When You Follow Your Heart

We might have made love
In the bed of roses: the bed of fragrant flowers 
As we consummate the joy of true love: at age sixty
where the pursuit of pleasure: is a taboo subject
where the Irish moss warms our soft lips:

We might have reversed the aging process, because 
our bodies become fascinating and seductive: coherently
We might have rattled the monkey cage: like epic lovers growing old 
With one thing on our minds: we follow our hearts

Of Saints and Sinners

Of Saints And Sinners

Within the sacrificial selfless silence
The seditious spirit stands in defiance
With salient scars of eternal echoes
Amongst the meditating melodious meadows

Sinister sins compound in complexity
Where demon deeds are devoured devilishly
Macabre masters of the medieval mind
Disengaged discipline of the consciously confined

The saint and sinner must coherently co-exist
One restrains of thoughts the other can not resist
Erosive entombment in the somatic solitudes
As both struggle within the manqué multitudes.

It Happens

 I can't take credit for this, after a major stroke and impaired cognitive thoughts, my sister said it and said it better than I ever could. 

I in angst said:
  "How could this happen to us?"

She clear and coherently replied:
  "It's not what happens to us in life, 
    it's how we handle it that matters."

Apple Buttered Paradise

Somber red apple branches
sagging down into green orchard grass
lumpy loaded with solid ripe ready fruit

Watching pale yellow butterflies huddle down
then spray up and out a geyser of light vibrant flight
scattering and skipping above their sun-drenched forest

A green sea of windy winding rivers
shadowed by red mounted trees of deep-rooted life,
making sweet love with flighty buttered wings
sweeping and beating co-gravitating gratitude.

Red Team too old and wizened
to count their darkening days as numbered.
Yellow Team too light and funny flight
to bother commodifying frenzied beating wings of day.

Separate huddles,
yet a coherently co-arising Team
of Earth's diverse space tracing times

Time-Lapse

The particles,
spreading a weird cult.
You were colliding with moons
daily.

It was a bird call
under a gilded, cold, dark
sky. The desire was immense
than the meet.

You just wanted to feel
the hurt;flaunting an
erosion. A coherently large
body. Is that a mass-

of goddammed invisible ?
It was my harvested pain,
the lost virginity of a
spot. The exit war starts

for a gentle colossus.
