Salvage
"Salvage"
Salvage the fixating salvation
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming
the ladder from the deep of all things
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping
dissolved...

"Conceits"
Such conceits
as veils between
our windowed worlds
torn torrential incomplete
mayst thou watch and learn
the one I spawned,
strength beats weakness
carried soft and harsh
one direction or the other
strength and weakness
both carried soft and harsh
ego and...

Upon Waking
“Upon Waking”
Slumber has its upsides
while the outside runs around
like a split fowlyard,
cacophonous
pecking at each other
and at the ground…
Elsewhere,
like dull background noise
through the fog of dream
the sound of the gamble...

chained to a life bloodstained ingrained with pain

On the Fallacy of 'Progress' , Part I
It’s an all too common mistake these days,
this belief society can ‘progress,’
that with the right laws and the right teachers
we can go beyond ‘better’ and even ‘best.’
This thought that humans can somehow be made
to improve...

15 and 16
"15 and 16"
she was taken
from a distance
removed, she watched
her mother die
15
the sky bleeds
blue now
echoes in the
cloudy eyes of
a helpless mother
watching her daughter
and innocence die
the warm jets
from bilious
billionaires
well fed

An Existentialist Asks---What Is Life
What is life?
Euphonies, cacophonies and chromosomal anomalies
intertangled destinies and illusive methodologies
Occurring in obscure dimensionless time
Millenniums fertilized to create the sublime
Perceived by ideations so pure it would seem
To exist beyond mind and to all in...

How Can We Humans Be So Blind
This planet whereon we reside
gave nature’s bounty far and wide.
We’ve seen our Mother Earth from space
who barely shows her fragile face
as Pale Blue Dot, sunbeam enshrined,
and still we humans are so blind.
The cosmic reaches hugely...

The View From Where I Stand
I’ve an anger which cannot be hidden!
A burning passion that comes unbidden!
My Soul desolated with grievous rage,
reacts with furious justified outrage!
Occasioned by the offences of ignorance,
bigotry, discrimination and intolerance!
Though evil are the ravages of vandalism,
they...

Convincing Eyes
Thy eyes,I remember,that met of mine,
Frozen seconds,minutes and so hours fine,
Fiendish to crawl;I must’ve thought,
Alike dead plant,with stuffed mud in pot,
Despite torpid,I tried,simper you,
Was next,assuring illusion,its arriving you.
If arrived my zone,you,hurled sweet zephyr,
Felt by my...

Open the Floodgates
Stores should be full, yet, not to the pitch of breaking of barns,
Floods within dams shouldn't become causes of our mourns;
Venting all that is frothing within, is way of nature,
Pending to do so might breach...

Reflection
Do you like me for my form
And my cosmetic moments
With their conceits and affectations,
Bejewelled with glittering gewgaws,
Hinting at the scents of summer,
All show but no substance,
Holding back the acrid stench of death?
For you ,my beauty...

Fashion’s symbolic sensuality draws eyes, stir passions and maybe even resentments! =]

Free Verse By Robert Graves
I now delight
In spite
Of the might
And the right
Of classic tradition,
In writing
And reciting
Straight ahead,
Without let or omission,
Just any little rhyme
In any little time
That runs in my...

Cast Down!
Vain imaginations, like clouds in the sky
Darkening my vision, and causing me to lie
Down, oh pride, and vain conceits, I say
Clear the way for truth, and chase the shadows away
Unbelief, the thief, that steals my...

Explain To Me
Upon these half-empty seats
And coffee-warmed retreats
Where morning birds chirp
And smaller ones tweet
Like the mere shadow floating
‘Neath my two own feet
I float in this inconceivable time,
In poetic-like conceits…
Oh! How quickly I have grown
Within myself I...

Gallery Art
I have to crane my neck
the small coterie presses,
I am too short
for long distance seeing
walls tower over my eyes
like curtains.
“You have to see the hidden in the hidden”
The svelte tailored nose-whisper
expects me to know what...

A Silent Night, a Holy Night
The sun has set and the shadows fled
The feathered flocks flown to their nest
Weary men after the day’s toil and care
Are back home for sleep and rest
No bird sings and no beast strays
No tramp wanders...
