Who is the greatest from the land of the other hand…

The pure top draw..southpaw....

Lara or Spice Isle style.. guile and 

Wiles of Kumar Sangakarra..


Who wouldn’t hanker in their seats 

Various vicarious treats..Sri Lanka’s number one ranker..

Fancy dan talisman.. Tamil Totem of elan..

Run spanker & banker.


His unctuous umami like a sumptuous curry 

Even at the end…flurry

Spring's Abysmal Guile

Spring’s Abysmal Guile
By Sy Roth

A vapor rises, rank as the charnel pit,
a corruption of a miasma vast,
as though some sepulcher, long sealed,
split its stony jaws to breathe.
Vile exhalation of a corrupted world.  

The reveler, unwitting wretch
treads the decadent fields where verdure writhes,
each blade a hostile tendril, squamous, cold,
glistening with ichor 
No earthly fount its

UNSHACKLING THE MIND

To the downtrodden, the marginalized, and worn,
Is this the fate that's yours to mourn?
The bourgeoisie, a cabal of power and might,
Gather to crush the poor, and snuff out their light.

The poor, in turn, unwittingly join the fray,
Oppressing themselves, in a vicious cycle of disarray.
Since time immemorial, I've witnessed this sad refrain,
Rarely seeing the rich and

This Chapter Is Called Happiness- a Guile

Poet: Em Em Mubarak Lawal
Sequel: after Paciolo pen saint

I rather call a spade a sword
why does the finesse of a wine
not linger on the tongue for long?
why does tears have to flow
when butterflies fill one’s belly,
and also when one could not curb
cobwebs of life from overcoming 
one’s happiest moments?

Life I thought was meant to be

With Stealth and Guile

Never disagree with the Officer Class 
When you’re serving in the ranks,
Never disagree with the Officer Class
For you’ll never get any thanks.
They seem to think
The time they spent
Getting Commissioned
Makes them Omnipotent.
Heaven protect the squaddie
Who’s discovered to have been right
For the Officer Class hate the thought
Of an underling who proves to be bright.
The NCO learns as

Bureaucratic Guile

Should one merely settle for the word ‘Style’
In lieu of the more appropriate ‘Guile’?
A secretary asking an applicant to wait for a while
But still not nearing this anxious file;
Letting the doomed document and others pile,
Sometimes taking this to a shocking mile:
Many false phone calls and not-to connect dial
Freshly asserting how Man has been shoddily vile.

GUILE..©2020 

JESUS POSSESSED NO GUILE, THE SCRIPTURES ARE TRUE,  
HE WALKED AS A MAN THROUGH THIS WORLD A WHILE.
SENT TO ATONE, BUT HIS MANNER WAS KIND 
NO DECEIT WAS FOUND IN HIM, BUT ALONE.

DISHONEST HE WAS NOT,  HONESTLY HE SOUGHT GOD'S WILL.
FATHER NOT MY WILL,  BUT THINE HE REPLIED PRAYING FOR
THE CUP

Guile Entity

Posit the guile entity
The lost, enters without warning
Mostly death, but severed hearts
Also are placed within its hands
A signifier of painful art
Worshipped by the insane
But longed for by the lonely
And lost, who enter knowingly
  This being bends, and breaks
The bones of the weary
And lowers the esteem
Of all those that are still lost
And which have given

Guilt and Guile

Your face is hidden
The moon is pale, like your eyes
wrapped in guilt's blanket...
