Long Eyeful Poems

Brand new perfume, we smell divine
Skin tight jeans, mini skirts and skimpy knickers
Can't wait for the party its theme is...

Admittedly a little bit of me can see I have an ability
missing ambition to mission living submissively in submission,

up my sleeve capability
I'll gift to me...

casting droplets of healing...

Spread so vast and wide, everywhere I could see
Cloudy sky colorfully painted to pose

stating above and better
trying to place letters
to a beat with base and treble 
as my only form of credit 
to impress so they give merit
Offer opportunity

The human being
a truly interesting
creature
some may say that he
is a spiteful
feature
on nature's horizon
Some may think he is
what enhanced the
world

this planet

whether female or
male,
without fail
feel sensations as
varied as the

Publish a book, they say, they say
Only an hour or so out of your day
The six months to write it they overlook
Then ignore the time that the editing took

They don’t count the time at my...

No! I Am Not Lying To You

No! I am not lying to you.
It seems Life’s turnings here and now contain
Inauspicious shapes of endless goings and comings;
It seems Life’s headwaters of the deep waxed well,

It claims some gentler theme from me
Caught lingering in a unified bestilled embrace
Beneath a unique spotlight of its gleaming afterglow

Bypassing the door ajar extends afar my reminiscence in wee wisps of waft,

Ferreting out your memo and dusting dog-eared pages before sallow lamp...

A prelude to a prompt quick-fire affair, 
Nor ever lovelorn heart's innocent heist, 
Routine good manners nor eyeful flutter, 
Frisson nor frown furrowed, though deemed fairest, 
A harmless hailing from the male of sex,

But not a sign of little angels of Chibok anywhere

Broken-Hearted Caressing Sorrow



Where do you bring a broken heart, damaged dreams that won’t depart?
Where do you go when things fall apart, serving silent screams a la carte?
What do you do with a saddened soul, within...

Turned out this person was wearing a rug

In the cacophonic chaos of life I seek peace,
delve into my soul’s serene niche,
perceive the pleasure of nothingness 
in the void and tranquil depth of bliss,
where I savor the sweetness of solitude.

In the lonely island...

This is a love poem for a rainy day
Seem through the streaks 
Of a wet windowpane 
And the eyeful of streaming tears
Escaping to roll down a pale face
To be lost, absorbed with the rain.

With stretched brows, while sitting in a corner
I look up from my specs just out of love.
As she lays food on table and stoops lower
Snipes me from grace of her body thereof.
With eyes on her...

Success off course has not come yet. 
After having learnt in life so much, 
Perhaps with a mind; 
An encyclopedia cant touch? 
Becoming successful in such a chase,...

Soft as a jelly and quite an eyeful
Merry as sherry, in for good measure
Joy filled as the table's crown jewel treasure.
