Long Earless Poems

The darkness, now descending, floods the city as it dies
while shadows lurk in legions 'neath the looming Evil Eye.
Its frozen stare envelops all, it penetrates and pries,
denouncing loathed dissenters to the keepers in the sky....

The circumscribed blue, yet painted limitless,
espied familiar trespassers, no... aghast! Invaders,
disturbing the Celestial Kingdom of tranquil poise
with their creeping agitated army 
of incipient, transitory Amorphous Wanderers.
The heavenly arbitrator of the eternal vogue
implored the vagrants to...

I’m heartless. 
I don’t know where my heart is.

Hateful, 
I’m looking for my happiness.

But I can’t move, 
I’m footless. 
Grounded feeling low 
like the ground is.

I’m guideless. 
and I’m eyeless,
but I can see the pain...

Better Without
 
I try so hard 
Not to become my fathers son
I try so hard
To be a father sculpted by Michelangelo
Painted by da Vinci
Faced with failure
Endless denial
Self deception  
To deny the truth
I am a...

Speak to the Night
Can the night hear us cry?
Can it see the pain we sow?
Night is blind to the world around,
And senseless in its black depth,
But its children listen.

Why I speak to the night I...

SUBMERGED IN FEMININESSENCE

e valued price of
precious key
unchaining doors imagined locks 
that set free


a girl is born
the stage is set
manoeuvring moves
that control and direct

discerning a world
through perceptive eyes
instinctively she knows
all truth from lies

then
we fail to….

RECLAIM OUR
LUMINESCENSE...

F-earless...
A great man is not the one 
fighting in a battle
Nor he who can jump out of 
space shuttle...
How about a proud man 
holding a baby bottle?

A-ffectionate...
The moment he hears the 
child's first cry
His eyes...

My body is an ear.

Absorbing whispers meant for others' mouths that only close to wait to shove out more sound. 

In other directions.

Towards another mouth.
Mouths who vomit sounds for the sake of sound.
Mouths that speak...

Flirty feisty fists pummelled pretty parts of her bare skinned body,
Lovers long lost in eyes the size of lies, decisive ties of their unwise love,
 Hector hatching heat, his aching heart searching for a hopeless...

Getting the Point

A stitch 
a stitch
to silence the witch
A sharp sharp needle
to make her twitch

Two eyes of coal
with grey grey hair
Eyeballs gone
and still she stares

Earless rabbit 
She pulled them off
His mouth sewed shut
So he can’t...

I am an Iris

Sometimes sporting a fuzzy beard,
I hear wisdom say, “Do not shave.”
“It would come back thicker,” it warns.
To razors I’ll not be a slave.

Elusive is “promise in love,”
but my purple face is fearless.
Nurturing...

Old sky, how high you lay 
up there, in your complacency
your faceless dome
your eyeless spread
your earless tomb.
how high you lay 
and how bitterly 
we see you there
lying in your terse complacency.
how bitterly we cry your...
