Long Fictive Poems

The singularity of my voice, 
Wailing out in this dark, wild, and philistine-infested wilderness
Today; Its uniqueness alone amongst several million babbling, 
Balbutient tongues, and inked pens and platitude-riddled pages on blinking 
Computer monitory screens,
The intelligible and the inane, 
The...

No road elects to prune
a wavy path past mindless
parts of this life, 
resembling our ghosts,
my love

I need no hearing,
no strings and
no sounds,
I need only hear your voice...

No love selects a raindrop's
teary glide, 
that leaves a...

Two days gone now
I write post priori and empirical
My life's purpose, and analytical
All love's solemn vow
For I too love the day of my birth
I too seek from life a noble worth

Was that innocense 
Alone, a...

And Throughout Vast Purple Range, Visions Cascade Down

No fictive dream deludes for now, so her heart bleeds
And weeping spirit no comfort dares to arrive
She that loved him took care of his earthly needs
Now hides in...

Back when girlish daydreams rode the ether like coal-glowy-clouds
featly feet kept a beat in spring grass as I flounced with Romany wind
breezy-gypsy-lips brushed my cheek as I whirled in his arms
‘til I fell over on...

Love in your heart by Gideon Cecil 

Keep love in your heart
Hate rips your soul apart.
Life without love is
like a smiling flower
at dawn but dies at noon.
Let love grow in your
soul like a tree
without love...

Dreams of Life by Gideon Cecil 

A still sun is dreaming in the skies,
The soft wind is kissing her eyes.
Her love for me is hidden in disguise.
Love is just a dream full of surprises.
Life is...

The macaws are singing for you in the rain,
Your lover is kissing you again.
What's all his kisses worth
If he breaks your heart and flirt?
Love is like a lost memory on the pages of the sea,
If...

When suited with loneliness, sorrow is seductive.
I reek trefoils and heed we bear a deep urge to relate.
My quest for commonality steered me to a lake fictive.

Pondering the twilight steam, so the lake whirls me to...

There is that tree I ate from as a child
But cannot recognize again
Who planted it? What season will the leaves,
Foolish like a cotton candy clown,
Seduce my tongue to chase
Deprived succulence of fruit or flower?
I could...

Quick-witted, untamed, and carefree.
Earth, air, fire, and water—nothing scares me.
Every species is waltzing in an epic symphony.
A maze within a five-pointed star is a mystery.

We launch into the sky in a zigzag path.
Our limbs plead...

I watched you slowly disappear
pacing restlessly back and forth
warbling off-key through the
woozy blackness of a day

I watched you glide upwards
through the slender keyholes
quivering and sun-cloaked
towards the edgeless seasons

I watched you unfurl with rapture
rummaging the vast...

Spooky night




When on a dark rainy night,
Moon had cheated the sky,
No twinkle of stars in sight,
Scare was at its peak high !

Faster as I walked very vigilant,
Closer heard the footsteps follow,
Palpitations turned me intolerant,
Came trepidation,...

So what can one expect next?
Is it the complexity of words that draws us near?
To delve deeper into the void of interminable text 
Would one have to first examine what to them is dear?

Only life in our mortal realm
entrenches self-doubt’s stand.

People and events cripple us
with critical mirrors showing us
visuals of our ineptness.

Consonant to your mesmerising charm,
I camouflage all declamatories,
Unavowed in step with the times,
End up at a secluded place.

Swindler you were, failure of my judgement,
You detriment my feelings, corrode my interior,
Eclipsed my radiance, walked over my...
