Long Manoeuvring Poems

III

Kept out
   kept out he was: muzzled and shut out
from mothering social approval
    and the usual conning courtesies

Kept shut
  Involuting in the hippo-lipped paranoïa
from the darling eyes of his...

Flowing river - I became...!

'O' friend! you stood your ground, a rock in the riverbed;
sauntered, stuttered, stumbled and stopped for good.
I transformed, into waters and became one in one with it,
a flowing river, discovered myself,...

The muddle of sleep—
The grand entrance to Morpheus' legendary palace
In whole or half a tablet; 
Easy breaths of chemicals
In pretty, light-refracting bottles.

I prepare myself for an escorted journey
To where dreams float from their origin
Like glossy...

Gannets

I stood on the crag on a clear summer’s day,
And looked down to watch the surf breaking the scree,
When I heard the clamour of birds out in the bay,
And looked up to see a company...

REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE

Spiralled rainbows ! 
burnished tapestries of trials
Birth, love, death ripen 
Winds of Change for our country’s call
Battles in a corner buried, we haul
storms or it’s enthralls …

Falcons swoop on soldier graves 
nostalgic...

There was something about this place--
so terribly unknown,
and though I fancied its mystery
I felt so alone,
an old abandoned dock, a shady-- house on a hill--
the same wardrobe of twill, in this city of stone.

All the...

Manoeuvring through purplish cerulean azure
'Til she touched the empyrean Zion
Perching above the whinstone during cockcrow
Possessing allured ala line with grandiosity and passion
Dressed like a virgin woman from ABOVE
Divine messenger? A cherub?
" NO " - An...

SUBMERGED IN FEMININESSENCE

e valued price of
precious key
unchaining doors imagined locks 
that set free


a girl is born
the stage is set
manoeuvring moves
that control and direct

discerning a world
through perceptive eyes
instinctively she knows
all truth from lies

then
we fail to….

RECLAIM OUR
LUMINESCENSE...

Sitting by the beach
At the patio
Summer days behind us
Chatting with my sweetheart
Manoeuvring our glass of wine
Savoring the cooler vista
Reminiscing past adventures
Mapping out new excursions
Just appreciating each other
And loving the way we feel
Free and in love
Relaxed...

Forget about futuristic wars
between nations, race against race
country against country
tongue against tongue;
soon the populous will know no
borders, continents no boundaries.
“The New master”
Is awakening manoeuvring
stalking, his plan already activated
The twenty second century will
see his bidding become
formidable,...

iridescent rainbow hue of alluring view
heart's living essence now in screw
whole unscathed life is in glue
her name is no clue ...

oh love, love, love
like white manoeuvring dove
vagabonding in sense being's above
fate and will - hearts'...

He was late to school as usual
therefore punished
because he daily fed the street dog
who was famished

Member of Alcoholics Anonymous 
neighbours sneered at his confessions
although his hip flask was empty 
his mission offering hope and inspiration

Oh gentle and harmless creature with wings!
Didst thou the most delightful message bring,
or didst thou the wordless serenade sing?
Thou pleasant kisser whose touch never stings;
angelic in flight, just like a fairy.
Manoeuvring wings that constantly merry.
Thou...

A robin sits on a frosty white window ledge 
a boy is sliding down a hill on a shiny new sledge
As a fat man in a red and white suit falls down the chimney

Strictly still in the marina
Loving and toying with the pier fingers
Shes a heavy, long boat
An old worker
Modern and comfort slipped with no disturbance into the workwomen
Her engine starts with aggressive industrial baritone chugging
Before oozing into...
