Long Emphasised Poems

David Death

David Death was strong but handsome, 
But he suffered from much discrimination, 
Because his beauty was shaded, unlit, 
Which found him called ugly and unfit. 

He understood why this error occurred, 
So always made...

It is not the case that Jesus ever physically rose from the dead,
Only that he was spoken of as alive afterwards by his followers, 
Because his offer of medical treatment to the poor stood, the...

I hate the way romance is lost
on the societies of today;
The ripple effect is a greater cost,
for love becomes a mere game to play.

No more flowers and dates,
just ice-cream and kisses;
No more endless debates,
just morning...

I once said to a barren friend of mine,
Anyone can write poetry – it is just words and emotions combined.
It was a long time ago – but then I realized,
The ease for him, is the...

Honor The Veteran   

I saw him walking across the street
A little humped, with a touch of grey
"Veteran," was inscribed on the cap he wore 
Surviving others, - that had passed away  

His...

DANCING IN THE BREEZE 

He knew this was a special day.
Her beauty took his breath away.
His throat went dry as he said hello.
Fearing she would turn and go.

She smiled at him, so he took his...

Limerick : Once a President of Bolivia

Once a President of Bolivia
Frothed oblanceolate green saliva

On Andes throne Inca
That’s how COCA-cola drug India.

He knew all there was to know
About the frying game 
Haddock, cod, skate and ling
All treated just the same.
A deft flick of the wrist to draw
Each piece  through the batter
Then the basket lowered into...

UNDERTOW OF NOSTALGIA
the ambiguous
    explored
on an indeterminate
surface

liberating
    the emotional freedom

 a splintered breakaway
  of
    excitement
& expectation
improvement
 emphasised
    by  innovation
effect& consequence
emphasised

 trends in full force
conveying
emotion
 meaning
  suggestion &
heightened sensation

a super reality
in the unconscious
  with enduring influence

maturity
denial
 of instant predictions
&priorities
factored to emergine
as motivations
    I re engage

Wracked with guilt I lay
troubled in spirit body all thoughts invoke
recalls my elevation
gut wrenching waves of remorse robs sustenance
unaware  of how one’s life’s machinations
can cripple one’s destiny
no spirituality
boastful and selfish
no code to live by
wishful...

Crisp cool chardonnay drenches their lips,
it's flavour running rivulets over their tongues
eyes widen over the candlelit table,
and he thinks about giving her sons

Rich sticky risotto slowly prised from bowls
mouthfuls devoured in anticipation
he wipes his mouth...

Ten guitars line the wall
A rack of six, a rack of four
Standing sideways to me while
Proudly facing me,  two more
Making the point that this was a
Place of music, joy, creative pain
Emphasised by the lyrics...

TO BE OR NOT
Experiences re-lived
culled from images I've seen,
books recalled,places I've seen;
Re-fashioned,enhanced and changed
emphasised and re-arranged,
evoked,re-styled in shaded tones,
uniquely embossed my own;
Written out for you to see
this poem trapped,within me..
Now,you dear reader..set free
This poem trapped...

The meeting of the minds
It conquered the world
The entanglement of the souls
It emphasised the word
The endurance of the pain
It lead to freedom
Roll out that red carpet

Put a lid on, on top of it
Indulge what is...

images of marital bliss

Images for everything, 
Signs with ripe symbols,
Visuals about anything, 
With no long preambles. 

Instant recognition, 
Vital shapes in miniature, 
Evoking that retention, 
By a certain curvature. 

My feelings emphasised, 
My thoughts are taken, 
They’re compartmentalised,...
