Long Condole Poems

 Continued from Part 1 

The forgery of Multitudes between the Silhouettes
(and discarded cigarettes,
neath the haunted parapets)
mock my lonely echoed steps
         – mock my lonely echoed steps...

A world apart, a world alone, no one can even know how different I feel. I'm not real skinny, I'm not real pretty, or at least that's how I feel. I have some friends, and...

I contemplated, trying desperately to recall, 
when I'd changed and my humility took a fall.
Wondering how I managed to be so greedy
instead of thinking of the poor and the needy.
I was ashamed of the person...

It's a selfless act on our part and we're going to devote a
Day or two to set you right and get...

I enjoy lovely moments on bed
That bathe my soul in awesome dream
My eyes never go red 
For rising from bed is really a gleam

My eyes open gradually
When coming from holy...

Sitting beneath the stellar awning
Humbly, shall I comemmorate
Before the sun, creeps in crawling
Every star shall I dedicate
To you, My Love; Look at the skies
For you, My Love, I most despise.
 
To you, I say, in...

To my dearest dear…
We met a long time back
The day do you remember?
That was the day when I met you first time
Together we cracked japes and together we smiled
Since then you gave my life a...

The best way to describe myself:
is this insightful awareness
of being too attentive and perceptive
in the middle of conversations;
anticipating words before they are spoken,
astonishing others with my answers...
and my concepts don't offer advice,
but rather a view...

Alone was I without condole nor ease.
Indebted to the world was only me-
My parents taken too young from disease, 
but rich in hope and faith I would agree.

Affection of a husband not bestowed,
abandoned with remorse...

God shrouded the universe in darkness.
Is there a human or divine side to blackness?
The young dictum's star shines brightly here.
I dream when I look at the stars with calmness.

Despite my utmost level of grief and...

My elementary experience in being a son, 
Came as I lay pondering on how my heart was won. 
Father had sung to me on a woodwind Shawm. 
I had felt His tender mercies melt my...

Aubrey, I bless the day faces and aces of our life courses crossed
To cement the mettle and fettle grown to own relationships with colleagues
As each day, each way, each stay a laughter, a meal, a...

In righteous fury, she stands alone
her children unaided to war
while worldly fellows do protest
amidst crimson streams of blood
care not, her passionate cries of pain
on grit of dust and sand
for glory follows this wickedly chore
in honor...

Few tears were shed when news arrived
that Lord Trevelyan had died.
One solitary wreath was laid
as shallow, feigned respects were paid.

Remote and sullen, he'd disdained
each hand of friendship, and remained
throughout his life a bitter soul
with whom...

Beware of just such a spirit one so versed in worldly ways
For if you should come to endear it it will soon alter your days
Slowly they will try to tempt perhaps offering something new
But hold...

Today I am wise, 
so I am changing myself.”

Look at him and laugh.
Break his heart in half.
Make fun of his tears.
Disregard his fears.
Shove him in the corner.
Make his life horror.
Watch him as he dies.
Hear his pitiful cries.
Call him fag and other names.
His reputation...

They’re sweaty and they’re soupy
Outrageous, and moody
They’re all together fruity
The Phantoms family
Their house is a soup bowl
Where people come to condole
They really are a hell hole
The Phantoms family
Stale
Impale
For sale
So get your table ready
With a soup...

Life is like a piano
White keys are good moments of life
Black keys are bad moments of life
Both keys when played together gives sweet music
No one is there who always had dark days
There is one and...

There is light but darkness
It is cold but hot
Send down the rain
Because, it is wet but dusty. 

It is sunrise but sunsets
It is winter but summer
Send down the rain
Because, it is damp but dry.
