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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
