Abort!
This collapsed coping mechanism has left me alamort 
I was just a shameful conjugal visit
And a muse for playing with fire 
You never questioned me and that's how I know you’re not innocent 
You're a...

Temporary salient sunny solitary sight
does dole divine delight,
asper this dada to imbibe
delicious draught when uptight
fraught, viz sunkist radiant photons

packets of energy with
life giving hefty might
to warm formerly frost bitten cockles,
which secluded niche bracketed by slight
recess,...

It hurts,
just looking at her hurts
The bond that connects me to her is not the other way round
It hurts to have a one sided love while the one you love hardly notices
The confidence to talk...

The florist does deliver upon the hour-not to leave the women dour, last-minute coddling, a sycophant in fact. A Christmas turkey was spent with the in-laws; an act of bravery to cater for the nieces,...

All Dreams Deferred
By Sy Roth

Bilious, they lay there in a somnolent heap
Dreams imprisoned.
Langston toed them, and lethargically they wiggled 
But could not rise from the ashes of their sadness.

The dreams that once took residence 
Wallow...

I’m a little older now, ’tis true
The colours on the canvas
Now all in autumn hue
Moons ago
It seemed as though
The past would never be
Sweet scents of spring
Would bring
Summer sun
And childhood fun
Endless days a dream come true
Until
Fading...

Obliged, to senses’ pleasure and to soul’s discontent,
I acknowledged all the appreciations,

I often look at the world around me.
They all appear same – puppets dancing on arrhythmic tunes.
Clones moulded by the system, machines lethargically pretending...

The Red Cross tells me there is nothing to fear, and no harm.
However, they are sticking an awfully big needle into my arm.
This organization is happy to get a donor like me.
After all, I have...

The earth exudes a scent indescribable
tall grass seared by the unforgiving sun
heat devils dance lazily in the distance
bright sky, harsh sun, and heat
oh the heat of Africa
it beats down like an anvil
every living thing seeks...

Useless functionality,
Loss of practicality,
Robbed of all vitality,
Is today's reality.

Everywhere I look and see,
People live in poverty,
Everyday technology,
Failing to provide the key.

They deserve a better life,
Free from hunger, pain and strife,
Modern living's filled with blight,
Death and...

Sitting lethargically
             Shimmering in stage lights
             In awaiting of breath

The dusty, old farmhouse
Sits in the hills
Part of the past of Mail Pouch barns
and Burma Shave signs that we
Paused to read on afternoon drives.
The veranda is sagging,
An old hound is scratching,
Cattle lethargically react to the...
