Long Perspired Poems

Who am I today?
as I rise out to play
at being again
this ego I  entertained yesterday
with passion plays
creation stories
epic one-day opera
folding into Northern Autumn yet again unfolding.

Who would I choose to harvest
yet again this day?
one...

I carry the immense weight of potential with me.

I carry the knowledge that death exists, and that we are all born to die.

Minute by minute is my fleshy integument perspired, 
Lathered and lathed and laved in my own shiny sweat;
And my heart it beats rigorously and unremittingly against its costal chamber,
In the iliac region in which its...

Pin drop,the silence was loud
Hashtag a baby is born, dead gone the mother was
Bang bang,the landlord overthrew 
Loud cries,papa had fled
Nosiy chaos was the start of it all

As our Lord was resurrected 
He left behind symbols of the torture to which He was subjected 
To remind us of his sacrifice 
With the belief that they will suffice 
What symbols are these you...

Like morning light break forth of eastern skies
And astound with beauty the waking eyes
So did my heart before you rose to praise
A seraph in the nectar of flesh, May's
Brightest bloom in the garden of gladness

Georgie

His was a pudgy boyish countenance,
With rounded river eyes and an Alfalfa smile.
He wheezed like a sick tern with repeated asthma attacks, 
Playing hard at the various outdoor games and chases,
Of our fleeting childhood years...

A TAXPAYER SPEAKS

Years ago when filing tax forms reared its proliferating death’s head
I cursed, perspired, and thought about moving to a foreign homestead
As a low-income taxpayer I felt too unimportant to hire an accountant
So I...

" Hard work is honest living! "
My ma used to say it in a convincing voice,

I'm falling like a star
Every time I touch your lips with mine
When you shine your radiant light
 
There once was a time, 
When I used to dream for someone
Like you 
Lifting all the Shame just...

Winter's Perfect Heat 


“Snowflakes gather in crystalline drfitings”

Lifting your hair, kissing the nape of your neck
Warm flesh waits on tippy toe desires
Lips brush skin, lower beyond silver chain clasp
Sighs slip past moon shadow echoes

Woke up this morning feeling fine,
looked in the mirror at this body of mine,
Said to myself, you're such a disgrace,
I can hardly bear to look you in the face.

Get out there, get some exercise,
Said I'm...

Silhouettes ceased the day of pain.
They stooped over twisted remains
Of burnt bodies and of charred skin
Over Grounders, arrows, knives and kin.
And tears soaked the blackened soil
As Princess searched for abandoned Royal.

And a heart beat on...

I dubbed a first year my room mate
Upon arrival into our teacher training college
To baptize him. His pride in quick order I did decimate
Taking him at high celerity on a binge

Initiating him into traditional beer

Writhe 'bound thousand of centuries
Drawn in a thin sheet of paper
Within its palm, destined, fated
The endless flow, our memories 

Motherland in quicksand of hate
Hatred rules, the rotting system
Wallowed, famine and injustice
Thoughts which touches the weak

Candle was center staged
A Candlelight Romance perspired 
Flame lit up beautiful faces
Flame, ruthlessly pierced with rushing Nicotine
Lovers Love drowned in the Sea of Smoke
Passionate kiss became oblivious
The burnt lips cried in vain
Only Pungency of Ashes,...

Perspired with pertinacity to bring up their progenies cozily,
Indescribably fondled them to make  them smile forever !
Built brick by brick their dreams about their off springs,
Hoped they would be cared in their twilight existence...

Why does stepping into another's well-told story
fade away my own?
Until I glance away from screen
or page
or exterior speaking voice?

What if my unmediated life,
unwritten and unplayed
with untold anonymity,
were the entirety of my actual spiritual journey?
While all...

It’s hard to keep on writing
when you know your words
never reach quite deep enough—
fail again to plumb prosaic depths
and render speechless those of
greater wit and skill.  

But now and then I’ve managed,
when struck with...
