pact fusion hath brewed
welds cauldron spewed spit fiery
sparse talents biformed renowned
oddity affair
ardent youth pose statuesque
fragile innards touch grotesque
bursts end aggression
severs espousal rapport
guilt aspires realist soars

How To Use Condom

Grandmas I teach how to suck eggs:
Marathoners long use of legs,
Soon hurting Enlightened People;
Might sooner unleash a ripple;
What would she say: The Western World?
Possibly, a heart is now galled!
Yet, will I this brash task perform
To a condom culture reform...

Thumb and forefinger on its tip
Making sure the two don't off slip:
For air removing at its tip,
Before facing your partner's hip;
Its space for Ejaculation 
That fetches congratulation!
Condom roll over your organ 
Like perfectly does Morgan,
Not rubbing off lubricant;
You won't end up communicant!

Job finished off slide no spillage
Or else one should query your age;
Your used condom for disposal
A vital point in espousal.

Song of Espousal

The words came as gifts
from the land of proposal,
a voice of enchantment heard far, far, away
Wrapped in the promise
of a better tomorrow,
new bows made of letters untie and defray
Although undeserved but never unwanted,
in the vanishing darkness
feelings pledge with the dawn
As thoughts await marriage, the silence has ended,
a committed engagement 
—betrothed in a song

Muted Sirens

To recite it in a Poem,
or sing it loud and strong

Their union an espousal,
one by measure, one by song

Division cast adrift,
 muted sirens fold their wings

This moment reinvented
—words and melody one thing

Limn of Adult Life

After getting a world class education
and a promise of renewed life
We supposedly enter a life of endless opporunity

A high salaried job becomes the life's expectation
add to it a beautiful wife
We spiritedly look for the endless opportunity

Birth of a new born infuses a new blood relation
another addition creates espousal strife 
We crib for the endless opportunity

Diminished blacks and enhanced greys signify comprehension
a mirror's reflection cuts like a knife
We still wait for the endless opportunity

Death angel releases our trapped cognition
accepting fate with a last fife
We whisper adieu to the endless opportunity

Premium MemberAborted Vow

Today’s wind shifts too fast like a tangle
of invisible lint…perhaps dust, quivering
unto fissure of grass where my heart scrapes,
as if the air denies unanswered questions
so blatantly howling about
a litany's crushed promise. Wired thoughts 
rip my tulip bouquet now strewn
on  the wayside of angst: how mute hymns
from an aborted vow silences a decorated aisle
on this day, this fateful day.

I turn celibate much like a virgin nun,
in front of an altar… half-empty now,
that my pain grates the most benevolent
of flowers, chafed by a drooping night
that has no syllable for me…for on this day,
a deserted betrothal leaves me
hanging , hanging on a church loft.
i’ll never know the why of an insidious choice;
except in his runaway scheme,my eyes
grow blank…tweezed   iodized  entombed.
Somehow, it is freezing now; a candle in prayer
burns an espousal gown;

i have never heard a more immense cold than this.

Fog appeared in the solitary highway. A woman with a white gown was walking with a blank stare without a fixed route. Meanwhile, in an activity lounge, were a group of guests and the groom waiting for the bride.  An espousal ceremony and reception were going to take place. It was 7:00 p.m.  The bride's father received a grievous. Her daughter perished in a car accident. The white limousine were the bride was transported, collided with a lorry. His tears announced without utter a word the terrible outcome.

Groom was so heart broken with the loss of her would be bride, that he passed away. He was buried besides his beloved two days later.

Orange roses boutonniere
As betoken of 
The countryside espousal 
Of two souls becoming one

Coram Deo Vivere - Living In the Presence of Christ

On the seven hills, virtue arrives concealed -
The discalced cross the hill country, making haste -
A presence quickening the littlest of hearts...
Privileged to greet him along the rocky passes.

Climbing the ten stringed peak,
Untold souls in silence, harmonize espousal glory,
Not alone moving mountains, but faith forward with empty hands, full.

At the four corners, thunder echoes -
Peeling hearts, stripping their core bare,
With quiet voices - mouthpieces roaming the earth in stillness of soul.

In the distance, soaring birds in flight on his breath,
Lift longing breasts to the heavens in solitude,
Singing angelic hymns with one heart and mind,
Rejoicing in revelations of truth from above.

At the three tiered platform, 
Between the hills and the sky,
Resting martyrs, concealed in his blood,
Bowed heads leaning upon the wooden beam.

At the time of visitation,
Unrecognizable to many, 
Known only to faithful followers,
The Holy Face of Christ not hidden,
His appearance simply out of view!

Till Your Blood Ices Over(For Christ)

i
HEAD OF THY CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

You left Heaven,Your excellent Abode above.
You took upon Yourself the bodily garments of mortal man,
Came down into this world, this earth 
Bereft of pure joy and eternal sweet communion.
You left the precious gel,the blissful ointment,
The long-lasting fragrance which spontaneously 
Exudes around Your Father's glorious Throne.

When Your arrival here was duly announced
By Your birth, wicked and cruel men
Your death sought to establish
Fickle-minded,feeble-hearted coys
With evil-intent, devil-portent ploys
Your prime agenda and mission tried 
To plunge into pre-mature disillusion.

ii
NO POWER CAN CONQUER SPIRIT DIVINE

Robed with the spirit of humility,You thrived on
In hard work, labouring, toiling on;
Like a huge fruitful tree existing there...there
By the side of a pleasant mighty river,until infinity.

The perfect prize You paid for all men
For their souls' redemption
You knotted everlasting espousal ties 
Seeking to turn them into exquisite gems
Befitting and suitable
For a constant Bride.

Footprints of Love

There she lies in the sofa
Reading a novel
My lovely princess
Born on a Valentine’s Day
 
Fair she was and cute
Delicate and soft
She exuded wisdom
She portrayed love
 
My Valentine pal
I remember her smiles now
Her solemn kisses
 
She lived a life to her fill
As I cast my mind back
To the past Val seasons 
I spent with her
Good thoughts re-echo 
In my mind
 
We walked for miles
We sat close to each other 
Beside the shore
We admired God’s unique creation
 
The words she spoke 
On her twenty-fifth birthday
Sounded so true to me
 
“Darling, you really mean so much
 To me
 Your unfailing care surpasses 
 My imagination
 
 Your daring strength 
  Has brought us thus far
 
 You kept our secrets
  You shared them 
   With no one else
 
   You kept me 
    As a priceless Jewel
You carried me gently 
In your hands”
 
Today marks 
The fifth anniversary 
Of the day 
We exchanged 
Our espousal vows
 
My heart is full of joy
As I ponder over these things.
