Long At loggerheads Poems

The World has been playing a game
Oh what a shame
The world has been playing a game
This is insane

Leaving me to continue the show
Leaders come and leaders go
Repeating the show of long...

staring at the tree without a head
Dry stump shooting above me
Inviting one another into  their bed
Their nude bodies pressing against each other

THE NATURE’S CHILD!

Defying fate, freedom denied,
Confined within the four-walled cage,
Safeguarded from the Autumn wind and sun,
Shining bright beyond my reach!

The scriptures decide the societal pace,
The learned men clench the reins,
At the altar of the parochial...

for dalliance with mother tongue
English Language, each
singular lettered manifestation
familiar to yours truly symbolized
by panoply, sans twenty six letters,

whereby this patient scrivener

yields sudden gush,
nee burst of creativity
dissolving impenetrable wall

Five thousand years or more ago
A man, in peace, lived with his wife
But then, her father passed away
And thus began the days of strife.

They built a room and moved her in;
She quickly overran their space.

ROMEO AND JULIET – PROLOGUE TOO


The Montagues and Capulets never saw eye-to-eye.
A feud so deep, eventually, someone had to die.
At loggerheads for decades (no-one remembered the reason)
To fraternise together would be an act of treason.

THE TWO UNLIKE-POLE ANALOGY 

Analogically, this simplicity of poles might communicates 
extensive comparison of things life usually complicate. 
Just as the tale of "magno magnets", 
Like-poles repulsively repels even off a border 
and unlike-poles abnormally...

Mere gaze to her direction, goosebumps perforates my skin
There's something out of this cosmos in her aura. 
Sense and meaningful in me,

Your constant admonishments seemed so brittle.
But, as time progressed from day to day
I began to realize, that was just your way.

As the Zionist regime tries
To assert its territorial area

They unleash terror on their enemies
Its called the holy land but why now
In the name of all that's sacred and holy

I stand on top of world. I’ve won!
I’m a statue frozen solid -
On tippy-toes I’ve reached the sun.

I took a showering from cloud.
I’m bitten up with frosty snow.
Too late for me to brag out loud.

Mates at loggerheads to blow the intensity
a spirited fight from determined hearts quite quarrelsome
there’s always a plan, a track to follow
dying minutes give both sides reasons to fluster
one is exalted, the other temporarily doomed

Magnitude, the depth of sleeping oceans 
where bright eyed creatures, unseen by 
man, prisoners of prehistory, 
denizens of deep emotions, 
swim a primeval mystery 
unsolved and undefined.

Sometimes they caper crazed and blind, 
lashing with trident...

A leatherback whose love for jellyfish abounds.

That inborn desire towards good

The Lord searches the souls of men
Examining intent and purpose
