Long Acacia Poems

I'm not sure Shem

that they had compromised their divine command
for carnal caprice, that their offspring had become offensive,...

The robbery of the soul...
The trampling of boundaries 
like a frenzied stampede of 
elephants..

Others planned to tie Him up or to expel

Arrogance
Wandered brood of Adam,
lost, bewildered people,
hear what I have to say.
 
Stop for a moment before the mountains
and for the simple sake of awe
be humbled, let your tears fall.
 
Look to, look through the air...

Take season's kick-start, Karan, smiling first, 
Its bright yellow flowers when sway in breeze, 
And seem to brag: O watch my blossoms burst.

sausages mash and peas

Slowly climb the leaning tree and learn about leaves
Count them
Count the corners
The points
The colours

DUSK
In the famine ravaged lands
The atmosphere is pregnant with uncertainty
Of what tomorrow brings forth
A herdsman leads his malnourished goats
Into their pens with their fable cries barely

and I get vacuumed back to the past.

When we both had 
a different type of light in our eyes,
with the reflections of that clear brook
evident in our irises,
where we thought...

into our TV – fried the whole thing
But I will not graffiti my alleyways with

A lofty and elegant one
With my roots deep in the earth
A crown of cloud bestowed on my dome

Arm in arms...

Within the shard of dreams, we wander, with the wing of time,
Penetrated by the mystery and alchemy of existence,
The glitter of a lone star pierces through the darkness,
For us both, steering us through a clear...

Setting the scene
The scene of the dance
The heat and sizzle
The dusk and sun setting 
A mirage like a hot, red fire-ball
Searing into the horizon
Casting an orange hue over all the
Sun touches

The steam and sweat and...

Where sun-kissed savannahs endlessly sweep,
And acacia crowns the skies, a verdant keep,
A titan walks, with earth-shaking tread,
A monument of grace, with wisdom bred.

Oh, Elephant, colossal and wise,
Your eyes, like embers, gleam beneath the skies.
Your ivory...

With Brontide rumbling she guides the family 
puffing dust onto dry cracked skin

And forty four dogs too
But the Dogs all barked and barked and barked
