Long Disaffection Poems

Ok...
These thoughts i have of you in my head.
I want them gone and dead.
In the past for you i bled.
I wanna take all our memories and shred.
This feeling is the one i dread.
Look at my...

To love, agapic and/or erotic,
is a positive economic-political relational choice
to trust whomever
and whatever is our Other right now
with open caring empathy,
even when we may feel like withdrawing
into suffering,
self-isolating
depressive,
repressed concerns of mistrust and dissonance,
because we have...

We celebrate Guy Fawkes although he did not quite make the grade

I know and understand rebellion threatens thus he met his fate

Could have been worse he could have blown of his incendiary hand

Less body parts...

My soul's eyes look upon the past,
and see hers meet mine for the first time;
I watch as our love's die is cast,
as the bells signaling our fates chime.

I watch as the fires within us ignite,
as...

Today wasn’t a good morning at all for Hassan,
a victual merchant in Baghdad
Thirty four customers got killed by a suicide bomb
A jihadist Arab wearing an explosive vest,
proclaiming to be fighting against the west,
ended up only...

Therein lies your beauty
testify to me no longer
of dandelions and daffodils
of butterflies and bumblebees
do not chant as crows
beyond sight scatter
then gather
in frigid naked trees
diseased with
discord
disaffection
malfeasance.

The recompense for
transgressions
lays waste to beauty’s cache
of finery
of magnificence
of splendor
do not...

Should the human tale
Become nothing more than a tear
Sorrow written quiet
In the dumb mouths of history

Grey within the sunlight
Dark inside the love
All proof to the conscience
We forgot

Where are we now in this grand future
When any...

Supremacy permitted to carry out his work
greatly loved by heavenly beings
disaffection spirit, ripened into revolt
once again, get caution of the supremacy
thou refused to be cautioned 

sophistry and fraud pioneer
hard to discern, genesis deceiver
supreme neither deceit...

ON HATRED

Acrimony is like a malignant tumour
Alienation confronts disaffection
Alienation takes the hand ill humour
Acrimony leads to separation.

Disloyalty commands anxiety
Love and animosity oppose
Disloyalty arises if one gaiety
Love does not presuppose.

Antagonism consumes impediment
Antipathy feeds on success 
Antagonism...

THE DIVIDING LINE OF FATHER AND SON

My son, my only son, my beautiful son

Where was that dividing line

that separated son from father, you from me?

And let an unwise imagination overwhelm our common sense 


Do you...

Kind-hearted displays never was
part of her intrinsic, fashionable support view
Genuine concern often got the facial window dressing ...
Feelings dismissively expressed
with distant half-smiles of plastic disaffection
In sad times of other people’s tragedy,
the principal thing 
was to...

Love in its majesty and spendour
Visits hearts kind and unkind
Waxing her odour and ardour
To help the love-lost to find

Little spaces, loving faces
Enamoured enough
To rise from surfaces
Where disappointment tough and rough

Lampoons discomfiture
Inflicted in the name
Of a...

under this gray suburban sky
if my heart will be made of stone
I swear, it will be pumice stone
 it will float
over resentment and disaffection
over boredom and illusion
over anger and incomprehension
over discrimination.....

if my heart will be...

The Empty Nest

What shall we do today?
Now the nest is empty
Not as much washing to do
When the kids lived at home there was plenty

Shall we go out for a meal?
A two-for-one meal deal will do
Instead...

A BRIEF HISTORY WITH PLATO

At the beginning Plato reigned
in a way they never quite explained
or understood; the mutual attraction
obviated thoughts of sexual satisfaction.

For so long being together sharing time
was enough, and in retrospect sublime;
beyond that...

I have a octopus on my roof, yes I have the photos, I have the proof
He is not quite your regular octopus; he is rather dignified and aloof

He is eating bananas by the dozen, sent...

Your vibrant smile
haunts me every now and then
Sashaying strut like a peacock
is how I remember you
How come I recall only good things about you?
In my present condition,
I'm morbidly disaffected
Clear blue skies look to be dull...

DISAFFECTION

To any politician,
Tell someone who cares...
This is society's news I'm reading,
Disaffection and tales of lemmings,
To any politician, 
Tell someone who cares,
Homeless youth, street sleeping,
Drug overdoses away they're sweeping,
To any politician, 
Tell someone who cares,
School leavers,...

Dismal, gloomy
is the Future forecast
Ominous beta waves
carry neural turbulence of
mood destruction
Nocturnal tempest creates 
a cyclonic flow
Cranial pressure release
a petulant downpour — 
Tsunami tears on the pillow

Whither does those idyllic memories blow?
These stormy, overcast feelings
don’t appear...

The lonely prince’s resolution 
A perfect lair’s creation
Months, years in the construction
Verdant fields seen from crenellations 
Lofty towers his foes’ intimidation
The balm to his disaffection 
But mostly, an ultimate seduction
The fairest maiden’s attentions
Soon to be...

I sometimes,
     through the noise of disaffection,
     hear a distant song,
     with soothing comfort in its embrace,
     a calling...

The poet will be great when:
Knowing how to walk the razor's edge
taste the road dust
step on the scalding sand of the desert,
roam the solitude of the universe,
feel the heat of the volcano,
to lack strength,
have fainting...

Estranged by you, alienated 
I’m not the one I used to know
All what is me comes out outdated
As if I was there long ago
In previous times, when life seemed shorter
When I was living for one...

I ride a dappled horse and I'm full of introspection
With centrifugal force I gaze with circumspection
This merry-go-round gives me a sense of connection
While conversely I feel immense disaffection

Then the roan steed begins a gentle ascent

This country’s so divided
That I’m feeling really scared.
The rhetoric provided
Hints of violence prepared.

Until the last election
There were differences, of course,
But the state of disaffection
Didn’t need a show of force.

Now, however, things are spinning
Quickly out of...
