Long Girdled Poems

The Dance of Salome
Herod bellowed out the night's festive orders..
"Bring the torches, bring the tables..
more wine, that we may rejoice,  
for tonight we revel in kindred friendship."
Herod strolled onto the terrace, nearly stumbled in...

Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this...

Ocean girdled nation had prospect for absolute containment
Overseas observers, in distant comfort, complacent 
Wuhan origin arrivals sparked a catastrophic failure
Leaving lock down 25th January, flying into Australia 
Similar instances followed, action came agonisingly belated

How do you fly so fast with out a cape,plane...

You are~
The queen of hive~keeping a universe of sweetness alive.
The richness of air~ more richness than a gem or bank can bare.
The float of a boat~the ink of a love note.
The warmth of a coat~the...

With a hearty laugh, and scallywag's glee
I've acquired their riches, and conquered the sea!
Like a timid lass... they will turn, and flee
showing their backsides, to the likes of me!
Lily livered, they're fearin' my brand!
Shiverin' they...

Black Seed by Black Seed

Every day the same people
at the same table 
at the rear of the cafeteria.
The maiden, 35 at least, 

is gray at the temples,  
sour at the mouth.
The widow, 55, waves...

Every day the same people
at the same table
at the rear of the cafeteria.
The maiden, 35 at least,
 
is gray at the temples, 
sour at the mouth.
The widow, 55, waves
a cigarette like a wand.
 
Girdled and...

over occupied world
bewildering hodge-podge of people
pushing stress where it ought not to be

in the slim rays of late day
in the splattered mess of guttered streets
a homeless man asks for a light
for a half burnt cigarette...

one calm, reposeful day, the wind chimes
played a rhapsody of serenity and peace.
each zephyr girdled by the ocean's air
layered the saltiness onto your skin.
a stroll on the esplanade rejuvenated
your dehydrated body and soul.
like a harbor...

KUBLA   KHAN


“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers...

It may sound selfish that I felt betrayal when you died, 
            but you vowed to never act upon those urges once more.
You lied...

Many mighty rivers flow across this fertile...

The blue hills rolled down onto the pristine plains,
the verdant slope cascaded in rhythmic dance 
through the caring cradle of the humming hamlet 
where my abandoned home was once.

With the flotilla of the cotton clouds...

Though we got the land on name of religion,
But we tend to be far more traditional,

As being a post-colonial, still baffled,
But now again my nation is girdled!

Every province have its language but,
Radically alike semantics in...

An ancient land of east, lapped by two southern seas,
girdled by the range of the highest mountains on earth.

On multi-layers of its landscape mighty rivers meander, 
monsoon rains on the fertile fields make people happy.

For time, space cannot the opportunity squander
With streaming video distant love grows much fonder
Magnetic beams glint through the wild blue yonder
Grainy, jittery images oft-forsaken hearts to ponder
Air waves blipping images through bleary transponder
Eerie prescience of...

Humanity accosted the once pristine lake
judging it insentient.
Man spilled sewage into the lakes depths.

Humanity …screaming its dominion
pounds the placid waters with their toys.
Releasing an unbridled urge for speed
lubricating their pipes with liquor
demeaning the essence 
and...

From bottom to top, 
my house was decayed. 
Through thousands of years 
of commands disobeyed.  
I girdled my loins 
to rebuild my home. 
I re-laid the foundation 
stone by stone. 
Brick by brick

blue hills cascaded
on jade slope of my hamlet
where in sapphire sky
I flew multicolored kites
played hide and seek with cloud clumps

sparkling stream girdled
garlanding verdant meadow
I floated toy boats
to the distant unknown sea
my youthful fantasy sailed

walking the...
