Didactic Poems

I shall not envy the upstart's polished gait, 
Or wish myself as old knights in diamonds
Hued to bamboozle familiar souls and eye, 
Flattered by aping pals and ersatz blondes. 

For swanky gait soon in quiet slumbers lies
In darkest gloom beyond...Read More

I'll master you
And you master me
And we'll live in
Mutual slavery

I'll take the whip
And you take the crowbar
And we'll see who gives
It's been working out so far

In the fields of dishonor
'Mid the seeds of deceit,
They erect a plantation
They can't seem to...Read More

Sometimes, when I look in the mirror
I see my brother’s face,
I quiver with recognition.
As time takes me,
so it takes my eyes, I reason,
a trick of the mind.
Just sometimes.

Sometimes, when I’m working with my hands
I see the hardened hands of my...Read More

Most of us can feel,
A disturbing pain of
Negative empotive ache
In some form
In our lives.

This can happen to us so much.
Eventually you may be
Annoyed, bored, deppressed
From that disturbing ache.

Than we say:
"Life is painful, boring, bad."
Don't be worried,
Anybody can think these any...Read More

Comparisons are unerring things at worst; 
Every common ore yielded for shinier gold, 
And tepid junkets given up in apt forfeiture
For tolerably pricier carats unsullied stored. 

Far less treasured lots perpetually stand
In shrouded paths to more pleasing deal, 
And more...Read More

What is Fear? 
Is it only an emotion? 
Or is it our inner self looking into a mirror? 
Is it a way of life?
Or a way simply to survive?
Is it a way to dominate, control, over-power? 
Or a way to...Read More

Didactic description of feelings
Sunrise in the rain
Birth of rainbow in darkness
Depth of joys that makes words lame to whisper

Flawless imperfect figure 
Sweetness swaying my heart to leap
Dark skin of deep lucid thoughts
Thou art my sire and desire

The beauty of loving...Read More

Diary Notes

Rising very early from my bed this morning
I’m stunned to see my days glowing with 
The sun’s ray’s
I draw closer to pick my Bible which lies underneath
My pillow
I read copiously from the scriptures
And pray that I may be like...Read More

My faith is part of me,
as is my poetry;
It could not be any other way,
two sides of one coin,I now say;
It's who I really am,you see

I'm disillusioned of this modern world
This quantum, promise-palter singularity most days leaves me hollow like empty Technology 

Picture an old colour tv- tubeless workless-
abandoned on an urban bombsite; that's me

Deep unsettled forebodings haunt my sleep, itself a fitful deal

It must be quite a burden for you,
Being so unique, so special,
That you couldn't possibly have anything in common,
With mere mortals like us.

Must be quite a chore,
And as for that special diet,
You must be...Read More

For want of full virtuous zeal oligarchs thrive 
Against deserving clamor for brighter ideals;
And perennially trampled commoners groan
Under weight no inured villain distantly feels. 

Bereft of real fighting energy better humans
Give in to the more determined aims to slay
Life's fairer...Read More

However we came into being,
Commenting on anything and everything,
I am sure was not factored in,
When it came time to give us a brain.

When it became obvious that our brains were about to implode,
Computers appeared on the scene,
And one would have...Read More
