Long Ingenuous Poems

My dreams were of the dire Queen
I had allowed her reign over me, callousing my heart,
She was inside me, laughing
Having crawled in
My walls closing, as she filled my soul
We were one, yes for a time,...

Rear view mirror

Objects, objectively put, are  closer  
than they  appear. But it doesn’t say it all. 
With the fair signs that spewed  forth once turning to

In the padded cell of my confinement I think and feel and slide

Down a slope of reason and emotion dressed in gloves and mask

I am rebel but in times of these I learnt to follow...

Here my story begins,
here I stand, 
facing the world all alone;

It all began with one lady he ladied,
One boy she boyded and sugared,
Just to finish in the net of Mr. Death.

Hah!
How painful it is,
How hurt...

 Poetic writes speak volumes too,
 this profound nature of humanity;
 expression’s glyph or determination’s rift,
 each soothing rhyme or base profanity;
 provoke of consciousness that drift,
 so casually or with rude insanity;

Silently you smiled from far peeping me
Smiled silently with mind of lonely 
Smiled from far seeing me
Peeped through the chink of door 
You’re looking what I had done
Smiled with luscious lips of bending new moon

WORDS FROM MY SOUL! 

I promised to be
honest with  my soul
Even if you think
something else is
happening in my mind


I love to sing, play
& dance with your
voice! 
I need your spirit
to enlighten my joy!


It's easy...

Is there absolute truth found in complete fabrication,
or is sincere honesty just a form of misrepresentation?

Veracities and falsities can be seen by the naked eye,
when the human soul sees the depth of the truth or...

An enigmatic wild stallion within
Seeking sounds and symbols

If you think the English language is easy to speak, 
Perhaps you have a thing, or two, to learn. 
You might say “axed” when you mean “asked” 
When is it appropriate to say “dang,” “darn,”...

When rain drops pour,water splashes
i don't want to miss it,
Because when water touches my face,

and the bell rings,
as if you are around

Restless hand of poet rejecting moments of idleness,
start writing and empty the unbearable heaviness:
and as the splashing waters of the waterfall plunge down
the precipice for an escapade into the distant ocean,  
they must leave...

Dear Mother Earth
I apologize
For all my poor judgement
And indifferent acts
Against the will of your perfection
Though my path is the road to renewal
It is not enough to warrant your forgiveness

All of us need be together
In the...

Back in ancient matriarchal time
Divine inspiration told sacred stories
of epic journeys
for creation and birthing re-creation
and against death and degeneration

Around fire-circles
for cooking
and cleaning
and keeping wolves
and shape-shifters at bay
away from form-drifter nightmares.

These were told
and retold
like a wealthy...

I wonder, sitting in the corner,
mulling over the child cleaning tabletop for the owner;
Owner of the shop where i am drinking tea,
And feeling sad about the boy's plea.

I rose from my seat-
Moving ahead with trembling...

Our destinies are hemmed in within the clefts of our imaginations;
Fate entrapped within our labors of all that remains undone,
but then veiled is the crude reality that sears underneath our ingenuous faces,
For we have become...

UP ON THE VERANDA

Up on back veranda
Near the old wooden steps,
Looking out to milking shed
Old Ma Stewart sat alone in her chair,
Rocking ever so gently, 
Not a sound originated,
Her gaze fixated
To the ground in front.
Old...

Free them O' God!
For, the wind is spewed with ashes of hatred,
The bilboes that wait to bangle the innocents,
Hauling them down the barbed streets,
And caging them up, to blaze in iron aviaries.

Free them, O' God!
For...

During the day
there's a deceptive lull
in the staid common parlor
when the home seems deadly dull

Stale air, disinfectant and potpourri
stirred only by the worried, hurried strides
of harried nurses down hectic halls
stuffy efficiency personified

In contrast to those,...

An attack of this magnitude
was completely unforeseeable;
and who thought that an unguarded city
had to feel that sense of solitude...
through an urealistic exodus so undiscernible,
and later reclaim its struck territory!

Express yourselves unabashedly my friends
Because no one can honestly give you a grade
Write your poems with your own hands
Make them natural, beautiful and homemade.

Don’t worry about foes, faux, aliens and others
Just do what you need...
