Long Curbed Poems

Gone now are the wondrous minds of old,
whose era treasured learning over gold,
And humble were the thoughts and words of these,
who, trothed to truth, would now be left displeased,
by hurried tempers bent on winning wars,
neglectful...

(alternately titled: Typical daily mindset today – 
July 17th, 2020)

The following words
mostly unredacted, nevertheless finessed
for curbed poetic/prosaic appeal
lock, stock and barrel
codify, and edify (hoopfully not mortify)
any reader unbeknownst and/or familiar
with unsteady state of yours truly,

Is there no place for us ? 
In this world of work and fuss ?
We came to fulfil our dreams
Leaving our noble motherland with goodbye tear streams 
We are prisoners of a dark dank cell...

Once there was a famous king,
More famous than Ozymandias.
His name was King Wolf. 
Sultan was his nickname.
He called himself a benevolent despot;
And his style of government 
A ‘democratic dictatorship.’

He spoke good English— 
A foreign language,...

Bundled in a horse-drawn sleigh  
warm and snug on Thanksgiving Day
the children restless, we went on our way
as the shedding forest began to sway
and the gusts of wind set astray
the vestiges of autumn's display
that...

O Doubt, thou hast given me so much joy,
That doubting has been my second nature,
Besides my life’s heaven-sent bliss and buoy,
Doubtless never goes even my prayer. 

Had I clues to all questions that arose,
I’d have...

my heart withers within me

swamped by my fancies for thee

longing to hold thee as mine in a caressing embrace,

long awaiting from thee a telling smile.

maybe from it i shall gather courage to give free reign

If never your situation has resigned you to expiration
Then professing “What he should have done” is quite the meaningless declaration
So if never you’ve felt the frigid breath of death upon your own neck
Your second guess...

There are tons of things in the world that really matter.
And then, there are those that make you say, "Who cares?"
I was awakened this morning thinking about the word, 'WANT'.
If one broke down the word...

My hot ice, my sprinter-Turtle, purple rose and my wife,
your creation puzzles nature as every cell in you gives comfort.
So cheerful you are, that your shadow has a dimple
you shed a tear and oxygen pulls...

in the absence of a soundtrack to life,
we walk silently,
yelling, screaming, spitting, fighting & dragging each other
through this “nasty, brutish & short”
existence,
without the all-encompassing symphonies of dramatic films,
the eerie minimalistic piano & acute
industrial beats of...

Well it doesn't really matter, if you have riches or you’re poor,
When you get that bellyache, you know you’ll be heading for,
That little house way down the back, where the comforts made for you,
So you...

Cleanse - To plant 'A Seed of Virtue'...!


Cleanse my mind, cleanse my heart 
and cleanse my thought I pray;
seething anger, insatiable desire
and pangs of fear way-lay!

Easy prey for stimulant, that prowls 
for a hunt and...

Dis feeling 
Such a rustic smell! 
Nostalgia fills the belly. 
Authority sapped; energy reborn. 

Familiar faces gone! 
Crashes cum clashes not found! 
Excesses can't be curbed
For in this mess,  I swallow its stone. 
Friends,...

Delirium

I stepped in
yesterdays cold
that babbled through
a rosed mist,
its clammy waters
rallied the shallows 
that suffer skin to clinch
flesh in curbed
shriveling
crimps,

Shapes a 
glacial sheath
paired amongst 
innocence, roughly 
stays offbeat,...

Now I'm not about to play DEVIL'S advocate I hasten to say,
But chances are you'll hear a DEVILISH expression most every day
The term "The Angel You Say" would better soothe my sensitive ear,
But even with...

Have You Ever Dreamed?

Have you ever dreamed 
of a Nigeria where all is well;
Where the streets are cleaned,
and everywhere is safe to dwell?

Have you ever dreamed
of a Nigeria where promises are kept;
Where the leaders want to...

The old, relaxed; we pour ourselves a glass.
There is no need to stretch or change our way.
We know the flavors here; the only task:
ensuring it is just like yesterday.
Like sediment, this attitude does weigh;
we lie...

Demand Satisfaction
 
For a reaction,
To every distraction;
Want satisfaction.

Watching cannot stand,
Trump taking confusing stand
At any stand  in land.

Is an irony
About Trump astronomy;
Lost in open space.

None ever compares
With Trump's great foreign affairs;
All of us it scares.
(And...

The rational mind
  this contained receptacle of thought
  allowed, restrictive, forbidden or prohibitive release,

  silent but unrestrained progressive thinking,

I’m ready


“Walking down this rocky road”

Pebbles stare like boulders
Detouring my thoughts
Blocking motions to feel
Curbed by jagged ridges breathing

“Wondering where my life is leading”

Checking the map for intersections
Wanting to find some sense of truth
Written on an...

Three minutes orgasm
How can something perceived special be illusive? 
Reality check, does it really exist
East, West, and North to South they confess it
Early stages is like heaven, they say

Succumbing to their fleshly desire, they turn...
