Long Disarrayed Poems

We are all Nameless



What else is there to do
but to tell you who I am,
but most of all,
what I wish to find.

I am not the cavalier of the sun, 
but the caveat of phantasm.

I do...

Three wholesome troubling years before, a thousand cursed days back
    I lay, most stiff within my bed, my house of death did reek
And all my nightmares, all my slumbers, they were deep...

Shards of glass cover the floor, 
all bloodied and disarrayed,
The night of terror exposed to us all, 
the town came out and prayed.
For the ten were gone, yet none be found,
people were completely dismayed.

In a midland Drive-In, ‘neath an August moon. 
The feature was “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”.
Sat two young kids, with young passions hewn.
Young at love, just neophytes,
Just being alone was their pure delight.
She was...

How many times must a scripture be read to us? 
So many ways they suck em in to follow and trust. 
We're led to believe that heaven is made of gold. 
I say heaven is...

As a child and a teenager I used to attend a mission-hall, 
Which had an outreach to the homeless of Edinburgh; 
And every three weeks until I was about seven,
They would give the last call...

Your golden hair like Jason's fleece
Flows and streams, now disarrayed, yet neat
Waving as a banner at once to the beat
Yet with promise and rapacity so replete

How your eyes sparkle behind your lids
How they must glow...

Splitting open the rough rocky ledge of my garden,
a sapling grows at the edge of the broken pathway. 
A lone bud blooms unnoticed with the color of spring  
within my heart with the alluring...

Defenders Endangered

Citizens unite spirits; choose the better part!
Life, God given, stolen by greed’s black-heart.  
Industry progressed far beyond the pushcart.
Thus, setting some selves apart as better…smart.

The endangered protecting the endangered –
Compassion fettered by solutions...

Disarrayed sands
dislodged from timeless domain,
dropped by chaotic instants,
settle ceaseless,
                   bemused
on stratified shelf 
of languid life,

MICHELANGELO'S HANDS

When eyes delight upon a work of Michelangelo—gut wrenching art--
Creation by a mere man, from his enchanted hands
explode results of David –perhaps a heavenly message to impart

To the earthbound, scattered world flung far in...

Pang….no  more!!

Pang….suddenly, shocks me!
This unfathomable message
I  didn't  expect would touch me
An  emotional distress..a change
Devastatingly censures  me
With horrifying like ‘an abominable substance
In my heart and soul, naked truth  it ...

Inspired by and based on L’Étranger by Albert Camus


I'm a stranger to you, even stranger to me
I'll pass you by like a memory
Of innocence and ignorant bliss.
I feel nothing every time we kiss

I feel nothing...

Alone,
Alone with an echo.
Alone with a hollow heart.
Allowing my empty mind to run.
Run from thought to thought.
Deadly thoughts.
My mirrored image is oblivious to the emptiness inside.
She smiles,
She laughs,
She even jokes around,
Everything is silly,
Everything is fun...

BEBOP BLUES Dedicated verse for Delores Matthews-


How do ya! Do Rebop blues
Them there, tied up shoes
Crampin’ my style rebop blues
Like a misbehaved child

While far away
Them their prey
On the innocents
Of the human frails
So sad, ain’t no...

In the landscape of entangled existence,  
we traversed life on the path of no essence.
Ego chasing the mirage of endless desire,
wandering cynical in wasteland made us tire. 

Vanity and craving innately compulsive,
distorted the ethos...

I have loved despite all odds
of dreams yet to come true
As my heart becomes still
still the soul extracted passion continues
in brightly colored hues

How did the sea become a crime?
How did its blue become a bruise on the face of history?
How did the verdure turn into red wrath,
breathing fire into burned hearts,
leaving behind it a black, frosty funeral?

Granny said it's solar eclipse
So I should not eat my favourite chips. 
"Today",she said, "A giant snake will eat the sun"
Her anxious face isn't making any fun.

"Snake would gulp the sun?"

Thoughts raced in the lobes...

Old timers, history;4th/5th generation
The friends we knew, now just memories
A forgotten world past, new bringing
AI, technology; what is it we become
The past barely existing, rotting away

Like dust is to the wind
Particles of human flesh decay

Within the sketch of a house top my hair laid.
In bewilderment on the street I saw a disarrayed
feet for the clarion's call.
Not in honour of a man in metallic monster for life
restore or death gain.

I am much aware of the previous records you read
Both bearing my mark and my seal
Carried no good, stocked with vile and deceit
But I urge you brothers and sisters
To think harder, coz I’ve been penning...
