Long Banters Poems

Pistols shoot
and rifles unload
thunderous banters
initiate the race
she dives
into the Mekong River
stealth head start
she leads amongst the pack
of four boys and three girls
paddles faster than catfish

other swimmers dive
chasing for the finish line
the Thailand border
no one trains...

Unifying Theories of Light

A waveform particle
Photon phantoms of packets
Indivisible 
Oceanic cosmos dusts the material
Separates its contact
By the touch
Of the physical

Human sight by synaptic
Records sunrisen hue 
Of tints painted brush strokes
Each brilliant parcel
In spectrum arches
Carries its...

In the nooks and corners of a place
Memories are forever deeply etched
Residual energies of times gone past
Of things we thought would never last

If walls could speak, stories can be told
As it stood witness as events...

The old man sat on a bar stool all alone.
Acting like a king holding court on his throne.
While most patrons sat absorbed in their phones;
He spoke to any and all in cheerful tones.

I perked up...

They come to me with their tall tales.
I pretend to listen to their fables
Appropriately sad, I say
It's well my sister. 
Everything will be fine 
I say it like I truly mean it.
The truth is,
I have...

If they have to point out it is banter
cus you didn’t realise it as banter
As they left no clue it was banter
The simple fact is it’s not banter

Banter’s quick wit the sort with charm
not blunt...

How dark was it?
How indellibly dark?
A fateful Friday of fate
We shared banters in bits 
I asked you over and over
for the weekend but you declined
bacause you would rather share the 
moment with your family.
As I...

For this has men ceased not to tell 
Why plead heaven to stop earth's hell
Is it to end their daily struggle 
And make their world a paradise resemble 
Or forsake their responsibility 
With a higher...

Ol’ brazen Brenda, battlin’ biography,
Banters bewildered brave boatmen at sea,
Brushstrokes besieging her beleaguered brain,
Broadsided by fiction now baking insane;

Balanced between both broken and brilliant,
Buried by sorrow, bereft not resilient,
A ballyhooed author, back in the day,
‘Fore...

I know a secret Neely told me, no lie.
Don’t tell me, I cautioned her. It could make you die.
She followed me around all that day and the next.
I gave her the cootchie eye, and a...

 Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust
Polished now in the  hallway, my  fond antique
Recalling Grandaunt’s delicate craftwork--
Each pattern of fabric threaded  with zest,
As her hands would bounce around pinpoint needles,
Weaving an array...

Day of The Dead 

Old suits and old gowns
They wore
With fresh memories
They mourn

Dance of candle flames 
In their portrait windows
Some semblance of life
Through flickered shadows

Dancing remembers
Long passed footsteps
Recounted smiles
And reinvented anecdotes

While ancient skeletal death
In bony...

A really wrong place for who must hide,
All the roads leading to center wide…

Where the sociable prays to be dumped,
As he would never be skipped nor jumped…

The opposite of periphery
Of many things their territory:
The consistent...

Brackish lighthearted thoughts filled my mind
ticklish inebriation, buzzing my brains to doldrums
sensuous dilated webs co-arsing my entire being
hair brained inaction's taking its toll 
with its attendant carnage following in tow
a cacophony of whispers envelopes the...

I look through the shattered pane and recall your chatter,
Surprisingly i invented the aftermath of your heartfelt matter,
I relive the day you walked away so painlessly,
I shattered into a fragment of me effortlessly,
Your toneless wordings...

Where are you God?
Where are you?
I see you.
I see you
in the clouds as you influence them to swell,
and nudge each other in the ocean of blue sky;
like galleon ships
carrying cargo of tears.
I see you,
in the...

Lovely Garden 

In a place of beautiful views,
We were sitting down with a smile
While watching the glorious sunset
Giving us a feeling of bliss!

When a real love between us sprouted
Those flowers around us;
Scented with a real...

BREAKFAST AT VAUGHN'S

"...there are none like thee
among the dancers;
none with swift feet."  Ezra Pound, "Dance Figure"

One has seen more than she cares
to tell and would cry if she knew how.
Another banters, known, knows the...

I have a friend

He tries his best

to understand me

he is my world,

he is my best friend

he's always there

at each days end,

he doesn't judge me

he always loves me

he banters me 

and we share

the laughter and the tears

he...
