Long Give up the ghost Poems

I (a youthsome, wholesome, jokesome, handsome,...
gamesome, chucklesome, bothersome,
and awesome modest fellow)...
does not deliberately court immortalization,
and wonders what criteria confer elevation,
exaltation, glorification, hero worship,
idolization, veneration, or worship.

I go about a daily humdrum routine

Shame and guilt sabotaged mine healthy growth...

and let yours truly not forget emasculation
that prickly emotional immobilization
whereby these lovely bones 
subject courtesy senescence 
upon cremation reduced to obliteration.

Inching closer to mortality
linkedin with concomitant
subtle deterioration of body...

That soft-spoken Sovereign commands a big stick, 
runs the world into ruins, once our bailiwick.
If asked why, He grins grimly, pale lips slightly pursed:
"Vindication? Straightforward: It's Me and Me First" 

(To mesmerise people He needed...

Eagerly awaiting until many tomorrows...

to become affianced to the grim reaper,
who never promised me a rose garden
nor crystal clear pool of fragrant delight
to accompany last living breath
before succumbing into the Soundgarden 
of a black hole...

Dribbling

If someone continually gets knocked down
Eventually they will give up the ghost
If around every corner is more negativity
Which of us has lost the most?

Started to believe
More fool me
Be another page
In my sad history

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY

Her hand’s swan-like dance,
ivory shadow puppets
romance. Hungarian rhapsody.

The musician sans existence
as emotive fingers move
imaginary marionettes
with splendiferous precision.

Drama drops onto piano keys
occasionally taking a gentle stroll
then in sensuous sway, sashaying
like an exotic dancer. The musician

plucks...

And when the wishes and worldy dreams...

I spread my toes wide in the sand,
tanned feet in stark contrast,
the white sand squeeked like cornstarch,
saw the shadows that we cast.

She sat forward, hunched, hands clasped,
her shoulders round and frail,
her clear blue eyes were...

Seven walked the lonely road
Searching for a secret key
To life’s door of humanity
Maybe if they let it out
People will be gentle again

One falls from hateful comments made
The six left fight with vengeance 
To give people...

If love is base on material needs
I assure you,
 that till eternity you will be stress,

It's gradually I come to realize
Time is not the major thing
Cos with everyone, I idealize 
Its way is different in Beijing
Of minutes or hours compare
To doing exploits, fate ensnare

It's gradually I come to think
How mysterious...

My painful friend

10/07/2018


Pain is my friend... my friend
Always on my shoulder.
His will I cannot hold or bend,
His weight a heavy boulder.
My eyes are true, my face pretend,
Dark rings a circle, tell a story... tell a...

How once we did what we wanted – it used to...

As we approach a certain age 
Before the end draws nigh
Afore my knees give up the ghost
Or bunions stop me climbing high

You can use a heavy blindfold
Tie it to a chair
Throw it in a waiting trunk
Take it far from here

Ask it out fishing with you
Miles away from shore
Grab it when its back is turned
Toss it overboard

Some like to say “give up the ghost”, 
To mean forever abandoning your post. 

The rowdy ones prefer to kick the bucket, 
Though that would surely make a racket. 

Many are said to bite the...

momentary clarity
seeing i’m human after all
grandeur drowned in mortality
i am all totality

i’m nothing at all
yes, feeling small
the largest of feelings
the hardest for telling

foretelling my futures
complexity looming
chaos consuming
hope always blooming

at the last minute
not done till i’m...
