Long Doldrum Poems

OMG this is what I think as I am reading? 
thus pus poems and yes they stink
simple in word mire contrivances with 
rancid rhyme scheme redundants that
exude explanatory expectorants spouting 
word wormy willy wally whilst...

It’s a recurring thought–
Over and over again–
echoing in my head,
Bouncing back and forth,
Reeling up and down like a Yo-yo,
Like a boomerang that keeps coming back,
Like a song stuck in your head,
A thought that gnaws at...

I wave vaguely toward a boat in the distance, but
can't think of what I would say if they invited me on board.
"That seems excessive kindness," I say, but a voice laughs in my head,
"Yeah, but...

Who am I is a question,
That baffles and confuses me.
Aren’t I a stranger to myself,
When in me angels and demons cohabit,
Dwelling side by side.

Sometimes I am mired in confusion.
Sometimes I feel I am a moth...

Villanelle : Lodged in our cockles Aladdin lamps hum

Lodged in our cockles Aladdin lamps hum
   Always to heart stings awakened to soothe
That in lost coves and caves melodious strum

When in dark lonesome nights...

Doldrum days, nothing i say make them go on their way. Away with their festering pain, smiting down the mentally sane. Bright burning light in the day bringing the sight to the brave is so...

Either Top To Bottom or Side to Side

When his mind had become hemispheric
He then could write great rhyme or lyric
Of things in his mind that had become
Works equaling to total of each sum.

Clawed eyes bleeding the red acid of tears
Anguished hearts with piper's music in their ears
Pleasures throves of greed and selfishness
Indicts our vision of the citadel's shining
Towards a better promise of togetherness.
Anxieties mounts against Babel's towers...

My husband and I went out today.
For a country ride,
It was a glorious day,
Too good to waste inside.

The scenery was magnificent,
Mother Nature at her best.
No one would be equivalent,
If there should ever be a test.

Colourful fanciful with myriads of mirage
Hidden in public glare
The more you look the less you see
Opened in hidden trenches
The more you dig the less you uncover


Clothed more in shades of grey
Preying on the public treasury
Fleecing...

ROUTINE


There’s an enroute
To everything
A direction God
Gave us to trek
You and I have to prove
Make the most out of it.

Life has to begin
Its travails
Sometimes not in
Consonance to yours
Always God’s will is
the best.

But we fail to catch...

The Droughtless - heavily floats
past my window, obscuring all
but the foghorn tweets of wings.

Contrast the sweet songbirds,
sky-blue and linguistic-red,
with doldrum skies non-speak.

O angel-child’s cherubic cheeks -
vocalist mouth riveting
as a full moon; starless night.

Zoom in; warm...

life is a feather on the wind ~ fallen from a sparrow who's not sinned

borne and adrift upon the air ~ brushed away like a stray strand of hair

fragile wanderer in doldrum streams ~ illuminated...

I
am
lost in your hands
lost to your
smile
lost to the world
Gone

Gone from your sight
out of this world
We are not
Intertwined
Imperceptible
to
loves eternal
promise

My withering heart
is a broken part
Relationships
are what
I am running from.
I am gone
to my private Doldrum

My appetite for life
is...

Clad in doldrum
with yarns of fuchsia

hemmed here & there
twisted amidst the layers

& simulacrum

esoteric verse
slicked in ethereal

& outvying
of vehemences, I goad

to scatter zeal
into the waves 

grand & unbiased

while perching with 
a quintessence unclasps

to the orbs thence
