Long Enquiries Poems

Then perfumed, before at them rushed…
All that which for eternity mustn’t be revealed;
My lascivious embraces I had better I...

Come Saturday checking out

Christopher reached out to Laura
and made the call

Laura have you got a passport and any leave left at work

Well you showed me around Kansas
so it's only right you let me return...

Write a “how-to” poem about something you don’t know how to do - 'being normal'

I can approximate it
I've seen it up close occasionally
Sleight of being
It's starts with etiquette, a learned behaviour
'Good' then the time of...

Whatever next, Whatever next.
They no longer feed babies from the breast
No longer need a mum or dad
Churn them out with a hollowed rod
Saving mankind, so they say
Or altering nature in a little.

Whatever next, whatever next

The isle between two worlds;
To the right, the door leads into
The colony of jovial foes, vibrant city 
Lights generate petty love
Among covetous souls.

The door is left ajar,
I'm standing outside, a loner
keeping his distance but sneaking

I've just come away from a meeting with a selection of teas to try, I won't be in my luxurious arm chair wearing the world's best slippers but the universe nods in my direction regularly...

From lugging heavy boxes in a distribution place,
To taking pinewood coffins to a so called place of grace.
From melting from the heat from six till half past three,
To eating currant buns and drinking nice hot...

Bill Shakespeare is wanted for hate speech,
His study’s surrounded with tape.
The local police were slow to react,
He may already have made his escape.
There’s a chance that he’s gone into hiding
To work on the draft of...

The shadows getting closer,
I can now see form and shape.
It's body all hunched, arm's hanging down,
Cloaked in a big black Cape.

It's looking up at my window,
I try to hide behind the wall.
What I can see...

I was traveling by the train
Through the glass I could see rain.
Seeing that , many thoughts filled up my brain
I was so drown in thoughts that a series of chaos caught my disdain.

I sought the...

Dancing in the Void

Dancing in the void
Sanctuary delighting in the sparks
Welding contemplation to an ever exploding new creation 
Flash dancing in transient exploding flickers 
Stampeding through transient ethers
An arabesque leaping from opaque to lucid
Elegant grace...

A man disappears where abouts unknown
Not at his work not at his home
Days pass as a passer by finds
His right leg in a country wind
 
Days later his left arm in a ditch
All is quiet,...

I was lying on my couch resting,
As one tends to do when you have cancer,
When in came our cat with another scraggy cat in tow.

My wife was the first to notice this scraggy cat,
That had...

It's not broken, atleast till now
Not the heart but the porcelain cup
With the milk, pure and white
As it was metaphorized with those 'eyes bright' 

Enquiries vanished when gazed at those 'eyes right'
As purity sparkled like...

Amidst all the hubbub
I stand
Responding to a miriad of
'How are you' enquiries
Where no-one stops to hear the answer
Questioning the purpose of asking
I am more likely to be saved or soothed 
On a mountain side 
Than...

He Knows Best

No,  I wont cry anymore 
I got my eyes red and sore
My heart drained to  the core, 
Its strained. 
Its tiring, how
I've been enquiring 
Endless pleas 
I'm sure they floated out...
