Long Differentiates Poems

Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this...

A question I have asked myself of late:
what essence does this poetry possess
which differentiates it from mere prose,
and gives distinction to its 'poemness'?

Sometimes, at least to me, a puzzle fits

there are three people 
you should see
one was bullied
one died
and one who was unsatisfied 
as he was in locker room
were he heard the cries
a bunch of guys
pushed him around
and beat him to the ground

The simple line partens the land
And people alike
Dividing thoughts and emotions
Fuelling the enigma of voters
Carried on in name of freedom
We separate ourselves 
From ourselves
Making walls and borders
To protect us from raiders
Fearing the advancemnt 
In the...

Time is a persevered possession 
Of life and events that happen 
In an apparently irreversible succession
The reality of life in clear depiction 
From the beyond, through the existing and
Of course quite a whole lot into...

"BRRR"


During a lull
I took a stroll
And began to mull
Brrr
This world is cold
It's dangerous like a black hole
From the North to the South Pole
The same ole' same old bull
being sold, just like souls
For gold
And full
Control
Meanwhile continual...

And does this include also my sister, sisters;

But

I have my constitution
which exists in the tablets of my mind,
It's not an illusion,
but an ally, a friend,
A guide to perfection,
Perverts the way of the pervert,
A guide to perfection
for the immortal, mortal and mortality.

There is...

Our essence treasured.

The world is nothing
If not a continuum of beliefs and practices
Along a spectrum of consciousness
Within an infinite sphere of awareness;
It’s all light
And it’s...

Turning rolling spinning in circles
changing negative to positive
The positive starts to rotate
The revolving starts then stops...
Then starts again
The revolving starts to rotate

Continuous circular motion
The positive starts to...

Dogs, cats, children, mates, heck, even strangers 
sometimes find themselves drawn close
in proximity to something 
they feel but may not
even know how to articulate.

Such is Life.

Like seeking like,
the comfort of others
in security 
obviously, but more...

It's lockdown everywhere,
each one of us are sitting on a chair.
We all are at home,
can't even think of going to Rome.
Neither we can go out nor roam,
it just brings boredom.
It's a boring life,
hope everything comes...

They no longer resemble us exactly,
less hair, higher head-domes.
We cannot help but feel
that we are the new Neanderthals.

They are laboratory birthed, cloned.
Yet it’s easy to like them,
they have all the useful humanities,
less of the confused...

Awkward abandoned outcast
Broken, battered, beaten
Crumbling from its misery and torture
Dead ere death nears
Everything returns
Fragility accents its blessing
Giving supplement to the split seams
Honing on the strength
Illuminating beauty of scars
Jargon accepts and aids rather than excludes
Keenly the...

Even on the edges of the deep dark deadly death,...

The world is made of diversity and in it
We are to find unity!

The world itself is layered
Its living species varying
From starfishes to buffalos, yet,
It gives all of them
Their due depending upon
What their system needs without...

I’m in love with the silence. 
The thick layers appear 
They display as opaque
But they are easily pierced
A small adjustment 
Metal appliances click
The wood cringes
The cloth swishes
But still it envelops
All spaces it spreads to
Filling up...

Everyday is the same
Only the date differentiates these passing days
Quiet rooms no one to call
Regret, extreme fears, ultimately self-hate
Souls a wreck sleep all day but feel no rest

A period so loved, there’s none better
No better desire than this incredible time
A time of day that leads into night
Nighttime that blends with the last light
Light that preaches of tremendous feeling
A Feeling like none of...
