Long Comfortless Poems

I lie awake inside my mind's ride
Gotta body-quake it away side by side
I fly away from my cage inside
And…I…and I tried to peacefully hide

I…tried to peacefully hide – denied

The enormous happenings
Like worries and wars, weakness’
Darkness that shadows 
Even the most beautiful thoughts

The flowers, the moon and the stars
The sunlight flickering through the trees

Of emotional distress....I as well as she does
Yearns for love that hasn't been shared
The passionate kisses that has not yet been
Compared

the marked must go quietly in the night
without a word of farewell
through the trembled dust
down the dark road from which they say
no one returns

the gods who made Africa
strike fear upon the living
comfortless
vituperative
rampaging through our lands:

chosen him to constantly be in...

the random residue of sunken shadows

retrieves an image of the light gone by

an effigy ashen faced and smouldering

glows tenderly upon the silhouette of time


yet another curve ball of molten assertion

distorts impressions on the transient mold

No way to go for covering my empty day,
No will to overfill the ash of my reminders,
To see the thread of grass or bright my...

Beyond the dark horizons,
Our hearts will once more sing,

in my mind wanted to see 
I waited anyway,
I yearned and wandered to see one unreal 
like a shadow in the cloud of sundown darkness.

I didn’t have one who...

For silent walls to speak so comfort, felt with validation.

All joy had fled these pinched, wintry alleys.
The sun had slouched away
to die somewhere alone,

Chestnut trees stood stoic and erect,
terracotta warriors, undecked,
their green bled out.
Damp was the only regular

My prayers of last night?

And your memory bold and gay
My bed of straw was bare
My linen- old and thin
And I woke up many times.

angry thorns that – like him –
seek blood if approached incorrectly.
From the...

A silver angel made of tin
Stands in a roadside window.

A bum dreaming
The kind of dream
From which no man

So he has to face
Another day in hell.
