Long Capsize Poems

Is there room to care for the penultimate?
Can't decide if the space can satisfy two collard greens.  
One oblivious cabbage... one who has desperately tried to expand the space, to save the others, who...

Deep in the dark depths of disaster, disassociated disaster
distracting distraction distracted
Bleh, bahumbug!
Why should I care how I start this
this will just be tossed to the wayside all over again 
Forgive me, my swift carelessness of...

Empty pages
Staring at blank spaces
How long has it been
As custom dictates, a line to be repeated
Maybe it'll close the gap between mental lapses
Maybe it'll explain the aversion
Welcoming the conversion
Welcoming the conversation now fulfilled
Am I fulfilled
A...

Here is a lesson, a tortuous tale for your next-of-kin,
About a political hack we'll call the Bigly Pumpkin.
It's a bit like star wars, he is more an older Anakin,
Who fooled the Nation even though he's...

This fool doth not consider himself wise,
writing paltry poetry difficult
to read and/or actualize
methinks perusers of great literature
snub nose how I miserably advertise,

laughable attempt to aerobicise
fifty plus shades of gray matter
lobbying showy words agonize
zing effort perhaps...

The Elephant Gift.
upon the elephant rode a boy prince,
his royal command, he was there to evince. 
dark with grace and dripping with youth.
bringing his men, his crown and his couth. 
town after town he strode...

Learn to forget about me and move on
Learn to not think about me and go on
The feelings are faded and out worn
They had dried long in the sun
Learn to move on and shun
Whatever I will...

The day goes on and I encounter more
Feelings, a hurricane of emotions
Quaking through this vessel
Threatening to toss over in the winds
Capsize in a sea of invalids
Negating my validity, testing my fidelity
But truthfully
I can not always...

she listened to his whisper


he was so chipper
she listened to his whisper
their desires finally met
she only wanted to dip her feet wet
it was just so right
for that first night
just only her feet
getting royaly treated
he wasn't...

Poet: Ismail Junaid Oluwadamilare (Paciolo Pen Saint)


I refuse to blame
Blaming is a temptation
I only want forgiveness,
Utter long praises without pebbles
From the calamity of yesteryear
When;
Misery was overwhelmed,
Sadness burnt fiercely,
Calamities of religions negated
Protruded souls with panic,
Brought vulnerable...

Me, my brother Tom and Uncle Pat were on a fishing holiday
three men in a rowing boat way out in Dublin Bay
we anchored up and cast six rods over a sunken wreck
hoping for the catch...

I’m in the middle of a furnace and I'm frozen to the bone 
This wasn’t what was promised; never felt this so alone!
I’ve inherited a kingdom from a corpse  upon a throne 
this wasn’t...

Spiraling sensations of heightened instability cascade through an unsuspecting conscience, a chaotic whirlpool engulfs the psyche in seas of self inflicted torment and despair, illogically intertwined with fleeting moments of delusions, escape and grandeur, torn...

Yet, another year has come and gone
Leaving some still wondering where it all went wrong
Some say to themselves "thank goodness it's over, I'm glad it didn't last"
Left with memories some good and some bad but,...

Unquotable quotes - I

A friend in need is the goon who stokes your greed.
A journey of a thousand miles ends with the last broken step.
Don’t kill the brother-in-law until the sister is dead.
Butter your toast...

Recycled

I have gone through many storms. 
Some I thought would capsize the boat, 
and drown both me, 
and my beloved children.
At the first sign of squall, 
I tried to be ready. 
As the storm approached...

Our hearts are like the ocean..
With depths some just can't reach.
They gaze upon the surface..
And stand upon its beach.

They take in the horizon..
Where the water meets the air..
And ponder on its vastness..
As the wind blows...

Our son constantly test his mom and me
Why the truth in life is so key
Can't he see all the trust he loses
In our ability to foresee
what his future could turn out to be
When he has...

None of us could swim, from the river we were banned
Not allowed near the water without an adult holding a hand
When the adults were busy we went to play
Of course to the river our...

Teeter tottered between dock and boat 
Boarded with a box of supplies 
Security and radio check completed
Sounds of people chattering, horns beeping, and seagulls squawking
Sailboat untied 
Drifted away from mooring
Engine engaged
Stern exchanged for bow and...

Peter Pan Syndrome the most
accurate way to summarize
psychological mindset of yours truly,
particularly as a boy with brown eyes,
who did NOT holistically acclimatize

himself with peers, which insecurity

I am suspended w/o interruption 
Drifting across the cerulean ocean
Unblemished in the mystic ceiling 
Feathers spread to swim thru
Thru the effervescent blue 
Eyes reach up to embrace astonishing 
And perceive suspiciously
The soul inquiring internally 
And...

Look into these sad eyes
Beyond my damn mind
God I don't even need to ask why
I'm always the bad guy
Constantly drunk and high
Will it ever be the last time?
They still propagandize
So quick to react and lie
Why...
