Long Fends Poems

"I'm gonna marry you someday"
Her Lover jokes with her
They drive in her fancy car, she's
Amused by tipsy words

"Don't be silly, my young drunk friend"
She shoots back while he grins
"Just watch, Sweetie. Just watch...someday"
He says, chuck'ling...

Far from the madding crowd
I treasure the myths you gone through
Once I walk down the streets of legends
Even the weeping dusts reminds me of 
Bloods, who immolated their lives to you.
 
Oh Calcutta! You live...

Off a righteous God America stop the persecutions
We are due out love from you; Stop the profiles 
And stand in our shoes and skin for a while, now, How would you feel now?
Situations where people...

Flames from numerous lamps flicker, refusing to die
Like shimmering flakes of gold adorning the night sky
Burn on, shine bright – shed some cheer in my tired life
Illumine with your light, let peace reign in place...

Fear does not rule these wholesome thoughts,
worry may be present at times, suppressing laughs;
look around you...everything radiates under the morning light,
even the most faithless heart is moved by the wonder of something bright!


Would we fret...

A defenseless seed planted in spring's tempestuous furrow
Nourished with fertile juices; warmed in caressing burrow
Escaping subterranean cavern into formative strand, roots still 
shallow  
Sprouting into a strappling seedling that doth hope, promise bellow

In sweltering, summer...

Keeper of the Flame

Flame born in Genesis’ labors
 Springs from the eternal parent’s word,
Image of the ever present truth,
Soars above impotent earth
Lost in the swirling numb abyss
Fragile fire kindled by a vision’s flint

Sleepeth thou darkling,

   fade....

How privy thy existence  made,

   to shade the feathered extremity

   thy plumage gave;

   a kiss unto pools sleeping

   white at noon....

She's only 9 years old and cries out in despair.
All she wants is for her mum to be there.
Her dad has remarried and doesn't give a damn,
But he puts on this façade that he's a...

In the icy white living mists, in the grayness 
Rising up around the olden mossy stones
I hear them calling through the smudging grey veils
That separate this world of unexplainable sadness
From the unknowable, from the unknown
They...

Jubilation filled the room and lit my mother’s face on her 80th birthday.

Everyone she loved, both friends and family, had come from near and far away.

A huge surprise, the secret was well kept by all,...

Inhale,

Exhale.

 

Numb to sensation

Emotionless pulsation

Travels up the spine

Tingling, stinging divine.

 

My own frailty

Does not betray me

Push the envelope,

Tighter, grows the rope.

 

Play with fire,

Dance on razor wire.

Unstoppable ignorance

Furthers the always expanding dissonance.

 

Just breathe in...

Life was holier then when younger, 
opened gifts at Christmas, I toyed
beside the shelter of my father.

Faith in the world was stronger
when what little I knew, relied			 
upon the lies he told me when younger,...

Expectations brimming.
Nostalgia of my hurt.
Dismantling my mind.

My love was sincere.
I did not know to loll.
Just simple minded me.

The earth my solitude fends. 
Sky my dreams suspend.
Breeze consoles my soul.
 
Gently catching my fall.
Tears forget to...

Those Left Behind

Woe, the days have come undone
Many people on the run
Everyone fends for himself
Caution stashed upon the shelf
Rockets crashing, gunshot sound
Where’s the peace that I had found
Seeing, knowing what’s in store
Conflict, fighting growing more
Every...

So pretty wrapped in thorns, my dearest rose.
A dish, adorable, a pitbull — small. 
She fends off fiends with nettled hands propose.
All pluck, with red stripe lips, sparks Springlike drawl.

Afresh in scent and velvet soft...

My heart knows …… what’s comes in
From joy to sorrow, its feelings follow,
Sorts them out, makes them blend
Wounds to pain, sews to repair.

My heart knows ….. what it takes to be strong
Fends off blows, heals...

Wounds to pain, mends to regain

The old male lion awakes,
lifts his great head,
but it is midday and so he sleeps yet more.

Come the night his lionesses will hunt
while the king fends off
other male pretenders to his throne.

The female lions perhaps...
