Long Laureates Poems

"The Precipice"



In the Autumn 
she wore a wedding veil
A cold winter would lift it
Kiss her lips passionately to 
speak words of 
LOVE
on a 
late roll call

“Well, that’s insanity for you” 
some snakes would hiss
others rapture-faced

“The Seance” 

It was macabre you see,
we were all summoned,
and therefore found ourselves
in the front parlour of Ballylee;

In our dreams
we thought we were poets
of fabulous notoreity, 
the head ghoul set us straight on that.

The planchette...

"The Lux"

we entered The Club
danced our way along lines
trialled sentences all 

written towards Light
the Dark called us all in 
we thought we were like laureates 

like laureates 
we were all drugged 
one way or another

Another example of Western hypocrisy,
Is Bahrain where they claim "Democracy",

A self-designed "Democracy" of dictatorship,
Which actually started from a pirate-ship,

In history you will find that some pirates,
Who were the robbery and theft laureates,

Through cheating, fraud and...

Playing with Forms while Breaking the Norms

Debuncking it
Slam duncking it
Saying “the old is gold”
ain’t nothing but junking it
“new is true blue” is cool a way of funking it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To argue that there is one better form
is...

Last night I slept
And last night I dreamt
Of what has come and gone
And that which is to come

It was a revelation
Of an impending revolution
The dream made me to dream
The dream is my dream

A lot I could say about my bookshelf:
In a way like my half-understood self.
A first-time user should seek my half help
Against a blind book search and its yelp!

Supports the cruel weight of three thousand books:

By men’s dismissing laughter challenged,
It being sheer insanity ignoring the lips-twisting thing:
Round-table talks on it speedily arranged,
No more sexual meetings with any man, no fling!
By the suckling of her infant measurably scared,
Because of its disfigurement...

Did Become Deeply Impressed

Closer a poem you as reader can relate to
Clearer will be understood that is so true
Each line does become distinct and clear
While all of your worries will disappear.

One sure thing which I...

I
When Sidney died
I could have died
I could have cried
But fought to save my flat
African 'woonstel,' or 'apartment'
Under auction threat
By PRETOR, for "levies,"
Or security gate fees
Yet managed when I was overseas
By HUURKOR: getting off scott-free?

Jilting muse with availing inspiration did wend
Barren reservoir doth futility portend
A bristling quill with no well to descend
No gratuitous frills on vapid contours suspend
Seeking with brokered shill to amend
Imploring vagabond seeking itinerant dividend
Wading through flooded...

Whether or not I've been awarded several laureates
I'll tell you what the entire story is
Even though it wasn't all that glorious
And I didn't always come out victorious
It somehow became notorious
Even though at times I really...

To count the ways, I dare to comprehend
such finite love defined in written line,
for quantity shall never find an end 
to love that lets infinity define.
A Summer’s day, to love shall not compare,
though shines to...

SAME SEX MARRIAGE
From the developed countries
Advanced people
Marrying same sex
Male with male
Women with women
That is their right to marry anyone
Might be they are 
Advertising on family planning 
To the world
On simple mind  
It is not...

The peacock with spread-out plume,
Dances to Nature's tune,
The sun's fadeless glow,
The monsoon's rainbow, 
Isn't our Nature,
Very spectacular?

The preaches of the priests,
They themselves don't practice! 
The teachers teach, 
A mere printed speech!
Mother Nature expresses,
What she really...

We're leaves upon the wind it seems,

Observers of a world with dreams.
     That long to have their say.
Our thoughts like rhythmic water...
