Long Chorused Poems

The day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds 
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.

If I can say it,
but not sing it,
or even hum a resonant melody
that feels like it,
then perhaps my greater gift
is silence,
at least for now,
until toxic seeds
ripen into our healthiest
resilient,
harmonious,
fertile wealth.

So, sing to me,
divinely doctrined Missionaries

The day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds 
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by merciless gales of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets attacking like
Vikings in a brutal and violent dance.

My genealogical family tree
was traced by a relative distant,
thus uncovering ancestral names for me,
of some who had seemed nonexistent.

The past came alive in my fantasy world
with visions of settings dramatic,

My mind is a puzzle of cryptic metaphors.
whilst searching for my sanity,
I've become my own worst enemy.
In this cauldron of despair,
time is like sand in my hand -
an oxymoron poetic 
paradox of cruel compassion.

RIDS OF RIDIC RIDDLES
 
Delusional convo with the inanimates;
February bragged none of us is his mate
¹and asked, "What month of the year has 28 days?"
-"All of them." I replied with a smirk on my face.

Six feet below
 That is where I go
 To spend forever,
 Some souls come and some souls go
 But I will rather home it here,
 Far away from humans inhumanity
 Far from chicanery
 Of a...

Sojourner to far-flung climes;
When you return,
Will you remember the evening songs
Chorused by chirping under the baobab tree?
Will you still remember the fame of the great hunter
Whose courage put the forest sprite to flight?
Earning him the...

When my eyes closes
And the black and white colour gone,
Let not your tears fall but, let verses of words be written to send my soul to its home.


When my legs could not move again and

Glorious voices in praises
From the oral of beautiful faces.

Angels flew to and fro
In  a delight void of sorrow.

The God seated upon the throne
In a mysterious glory shone.

Pondering a rise to the man
Who fell at...

Wistful is the heart, silent the walls
    where the gambols of youth echoed.
A return tale’s sentimental journey
  inside the gates of Sweet Briar Road

Long it behoves me my thanksgiving

Kathy and the Lake Monster

we arrived at last
after four hot hours
travelling ever northward.
in Boda’s old boat, 
at least that is what we called it,
a huge, turquoise blue ford with  
great swoops of fins on...

She speaks with her nose opened wide
Like that of  Queen  Elizabeth the none
From the fringe of the nose
She speaks very fluently 
Chewing Queen’s language
With her head high up	
She must have been an “Americana”
No!...

Losing her soul to the whirlwind
Her spirit stolen by rainstorm
Body of her became a sacrifice 
To the turbulent blizzard.

Once upon a soul mate 
We both danced in the day
And we have both thrust
Our feet together...

MISSING

Who said my daughter was missing?
We wouldn't find her replica... anywhere
She wasn't in school...not at her sister's creche
She wasn't there...I mean nowhere
Maybe it's nothing to ponder on anyway 
We looked for her everywhere
Who saw her...my...

She will rise from the water, in the midday afternoon
Lightly vaulting from darkness and a bright diamond throne
Splashing forth as a fountain, spilling colors of gold
Wearing combs made of seashells, from deep in the cold

How could I have forgotten?
Why did it go blank?
What was I twisting with?
Did my mind travel without me?
Why did my memory fail me?

that he was from far Kazakhstan, 
“Exotic place,” he added,
which I know but could not pinpoint 
on my mental map.

She smiled
