Long Beclouded Poems

—Our days of no beginning and no end—

When a giant thinker who wandered in the wilderness of meditation 
for a long time came to find himself, leaped over a wall that was built 
for a...

Some things are lost along the line
Some things, beautiful and fine
Driving down the lone road to the stream in my hamlet
It’s like yesterday; like catching birds from their nest
I giggled as I drove by
Mothers breast...

Lamentations of a proletariat 

Loaded to the brim, withouted in a pack of "obersver-non participants"
folded like a wrap, yet forced to lack in the ranks of "server-run-anticipants"
dare to pass a comment and... a knife to...

Yesterday we cried, we wept for the loss of peace 
Last night, we both mourned the demise of tranquility 
We yearned in futility for that quietude 
That made our spirits flutter 
We bemoaned the annihilation...

"My arrangements with destiny weren't arduously demanding or beclouded with nit-picking details, so I merely ask for a day, any day, pick a day, and then for the year, give me a year, pick a...

Far below and sinking so above my end
It’s hard to be back here in Phoenix again
The ambience of this air touches rougher here as far as I’ve known
In this infected place where my lingering wounds...

Beyond the Heart, the Head and the Soul reigns unsulleable Belief 

How he blurted in a moment of self-lacerating glory-be pique
Who will in a thousand years retrieve my poems from digital rot
A thousand years grind...

The words kept echoing in her mind
Like  lightning in a stormy night 
Her Heart forgot its rhythmic schemes 
Missed several beats
A baffled smile came first 
Then a rainbow burst with all its colors on...

Taken inside the bowels
of bassoons, 
tropical heat from
swelling bows.
		Sweat labors the brow,
		full with carnal dissonance.
The throat is lunged
by a beast
veiled in foliage.
		Spewed in a mass of
		broken pickaxes!
Kicked again into the
thunder of claws!
		In flames of foundries
		lost.
Becoming...

It hurts Him so to see my pain.
Though I would see my loss as gain.

My mind beclouded, devoid of reason,
Remaining hot through passings seasons.

The years have come and gone again,
And still my anger ramains the...

Struck by lightning…
Just like the Iroko tree is struck in the 
rain forest during summer,
And consumed by fire,
With great inferno ,
Panic in the forest ,
As animals run…

Same is his music ,
Its sound reverberates and 
struck...

I didn't take my umbrella, assuming
the weather wouldn't respond with a whiplash,
and on coarse sand I trudge, not thinking
of a cloudburst to induce fear and suddenly bash.


My grip on this balloon string has the strength...

there are no stars in these beclouded skies
to linger on the edge of darkened nights
no reflections to shine within your eyes
nor moonbeams to gather within my sights

I flow like the river and fall like a spring
Dazzling many like a pugilist on a ring,
Interact with many people and classes,
Making young men to raise their glasses.

Racism and apartheid are not in my book,

Homage to Lord Byron.

He...walks in wonder all the night
of beclouded starry skies;
and all that's there is dark, and bright
within his dark eyes...non denies
they sparkle within the stars light,
that e'en Heaven could not deny.

One ray more;...

Genuine love is loveless
Whereof the heart is beclouded
With mystic, monastic and metaphysical aura
Only minds as deep as the Congo river can contain.

'Tis when fair love subsist
That spiritual, ethical and philosophical
Transcend all mundane forms and allures
That...

Love in Autumn

I can`t,but remember last autumn,
when my love stood like a strong column.

My heart tinge due to avalanche of passion,
which developed into love vibes with smooth lotion.

My mind was beclouded during this freezing fall

Aloof

She cringed in pain and fear
As she zigs and zag 
across the lonely and troubled paths
she wobbles as she is pelted with rocks
sticks and troubled minds

An UNRIPEN SUN


Such a brightened day

without a sweetened sun

Bringing an unsavoury end

to a fastened hope     

Sitting on wheels

thus beating the wind

With a vision from the west

We doubted the mirage

Hoping for a reflection

without a diversion

I was a comely damsel
Made of fragile fair clay,
Pregnant with unhatched rebellion,
Beclouded with the mist of youthhood,
And on the broad path
Dreaming of butterflies.

I heard a still voice calling;
It was the Prince of Peace,
Oh, how sweet...

At the world's extreme
corner;
Parents have a misplaced
priority
Youths have been beclouded
with moral decadence
Children nurture urges for
frivolities
Destructive blood runs in our
fetus.
Pen lacks intelligence
Midwives of the spirit
wrapped with lies
The elected seek their 
pockets
Lightning system gives 
ignited
candle stick
Hope is...
