Long Budged Poems

Fierce fighting raged, but surprise was gone,
the Americans rallied and pushed hard,
the Indians fell back, out of the ravine,
the patriots driving them that far.

Hand-to-hand combat broke out brutally,
with knives, clubs, and rifle-stocks,
Iroquois would wait until...

(Probably more a short story than free verse
In any case it’s true, 
seen through my eyes as a child)

He was a heavy smoker sat by the fire 
Coughing and wheezing hacking up phlegm 
spitting it...

Move on...I've tried
Alone with the silent tears I've cried
Then are the tears that just will no longer fall
Feel like I'm beating my head repeatedly up against the wall
Yes, I still have our moments, our memories...

We argued until the cows came home and lived in a city
Hardly ever even agreed to disagree and never budged an inch
There was always an If and or definite But and resolute No

I never sought your money, never sought your gold
all I ever asked, was for the truth to be told
while time has passed, my hope has faded
G-d only knows, how long I had waited

Memories I have...

the mirror warped at the sight of her distorted face

condensed tears spoke louder than thundering words

‘swoosh’ and down went another part of her soul

tore apart the bevelled edges and smeared her grin


a window paned groaned...

You don't think you owe me
Well I contend you do
On my desk, I expect a bouquet of roses
I worked thru most my childhood
Paying my playground dues
‘Cause the factory called America never closes

Insufferable agony
Is an overrated...

On Learning To Become A Guru...

Unbeknownst to this unsuspecting witty mortal,
a reverberation attributed to butterfly effect

To Hellie's credit, she had rightly judged...
for, all told- the young man was quite shady
so from her guard-post she would not be budged
for she was most loyal to her lady

And when he cooed and whined...

You can walk right into this image. 
Stand there near the typewriter if you like.

Although he has filled the space very well,
As it is a small office, and her...

I've done

Seen them fold and flop
Will it ever get old or stop?
Regardless of if it's cold or hot
Many talked and told a lot
And the sight of their own goals were lost

When push comes to shove

In some circles, I’m like that comedian
Rodney Dangerfield, whose catchphrase
was, “I don’t get no respect.” 
I can’t say scorn doesn’t faze me.
I’ve always been terribly misunderstood  
and misjudged.
Some just made up their stubborn minds

WAS IT WHAT IT WAS?

It was a time of temperance for a temper tamed
It was a time when, on beauty, was mournfulness and belligerence blamed
It was a time when a recently birthed masterpiece was smudged

Reacting to every stimulus
Passing judgments with every thought
This is good, I'll say
And that, well isn't so hot

So deep they haven't budged
And cliche til my eyes glaze over

A Eunuch(kinner)On Train


A beautiful lady in saree,

sat beside, in a hurry.

In a local train,
to reach ‘Howrah’ in rain .
Dressed in vibrant,
female in appearance.
Suddenly,
she clapped her fingers apart,
on her seat,
When asked to push a bit.
She misunderstood,

I spent half my life buzzed
pulling stings with my cuz
day dreamed of being kings but our status never budged

mainly because we was rarely sober

I had it all.
The blood beneath the cold, dense, heart
beats as if it were nothing.
But what good would a heart be

I watched two girls to help out their mother
