Long Reassembled Poems

My most troubling client
told me he died last night.

While this did not appear to be his somber case,
nor, sadly,
did my home office silently resound
like this was his actual historical peace,
I did conjure up sufficient energy
to...

Everything one has forgotten cries for help in the dream.
In the depths of the night, where darkness spreads its wings like a velvet mantle,
I float through the restless ocean of my thoughts, where shadows weave...

Splash Bang Reflection


W ~ hen it has hit home with a big splash bang or silent reflection that time

E ~ lapses and fireworks are for the moment and not forever young displays


W ~ here here...

She gazed at the looking glass, but the mirror refused to grant her a preview of what might happen, a clear picture of where she had been and if she existed at all, the spectre...

And then the blunders of the past merged into serenity. Tranquility 
ensued where wild storms had been raging.‘Safe travels’, they whispered 
‘now you’re prepared and able to let go.’ The past became a beacon and...

Dear Sir Thomas:

Angels 
never fly 
too far away.
Cherubs
are 
pious messengers 
cloaked in 
ribbed-serpentine
streamers;
bathing 
themselves
in a bemused 
shower
of rainbow-lit
banderoles.

Stifled 
in an unseen
internal silence -
a clandestine court 
of guardians;
our private angels,
unassumingly,
fold their 
winged extremities
and gloriously 
chant messianic
chorales...

Piece Left and Ignored


        A beach ball stuck in rafters of a pool
         resting in same position since last seven...

Blazing hot sweats rolled down my back,
A cloudless sky was at reach from my palm’s view,
My eyes centered on the sun as it stood above my head.
Summer’s end sneaked around the corner,
But its endless heat
Fooled...

A broken mirror
A gustily reflection of misfortunes
I don’t recognise myself anymore
An honest look at my dishonesty
Yes, I’m a liar
The image distorted with each retreating step of shame
I take, and I move ten steps backwards in...

Inspired by composition '100 Metronomes' personalised as demonstration of unhidden anxiety. Poem enhanced by listening to the music.

When dulled down shock painfully became
a pickaxe ache behind shimmering eyes,
the bludgeoning screen hammered memory cells
repeatedly, over and over.
Tears exploded, soft rain dampened flame,
the grumbling dust cloud debris disguised
broken hearts bursting in agonised swells
searching for...

Ancient Time Collapse 

Ancient time collapsed on mirrored distances
Taking history, its ripples, down in the sand
Lost in the reflected wide eyes of children looking up
They will never know what time it is

Archeologists use the suns...

Fate’s Footfalls

Fatima climbed up the spiral Minaret’s stairwell a
	case of mathematical precision a fountain of courage

One step at a time with geometric accuracy she 
	counted the odds and the even the skewed surface of life

My heart is a moth, trapped in its cocoon.
Held fast by the strings and strands of natural course.
Wings that could unfurl, lie curled,
Close to my body, empty of blood.
I am the monk of night, the...

Formaldehyde pride
preserved inside a dead body
of morality compromise
Living a lie
is a ceremonial breathing exercise
Of all the bridges you burned,
cremation was the last choice wrong turn
Afraid to be buried below 
with the worms,
Your remains stayed above...

Tunneling through nightscapes,
weightless moon doll escapes. 
Collapsing space-time,
the pages and pages,
of fluttering windblown stages
in quantum nonlocality,
a graphic novel engages.
	
Burrowing through dystopian nocturne,
the night traffic gives us heartburn.
In magical claytronics, everyone is reassembled,
reincarnated by cosmic consciousness,
a...

The caffeine on my desk
and bags under my eyes
are evidence of my faithfulness—
devotion to a beast
to whom I've pledged eternal fealty.
The ache in my knuckles
and the draining battery on my laptop
are the marks of a...

The Last Viking
There had been a war in my part of the world, peace there is never one,
people fight wars in other parts of the world more brutal than ever before.
The first winter of peace...

Staring at the pieces that once were his part of his life;
They lie there scattered as if part of a jigsaw puzzle.
Perhaps they sit there waiting to be reassembled.
But why bother he asks of himself...

Abstract ideas flitter about in my brain
like butterflies navigating a stiff August breeze.

I try unifying them into something,
a patchwork quilt of grandiose dreams
showcasing profound thoughts
that I feel are worthy of sharing
with strangers and sycophants,
maniacs and...

WHITE LIGHT

daylight
coming in
intrusive
caught sight
of
the
minimal
 after-images
hanging
in the air

time
 become
 often
a
beginning
 unstretched
 uneven
 or
discarded
curls
 in
 layered
texture

a consistent
touch
 of
traces
of
actions a
come together

a residue
of
the
unfinished
thoughts
petered out
dwindled to

an excerpt
&
a
sigh

a
faltered
  interruption
barely begun
delectable
yet
truncated&
 improvised
 suddenness


 a feeling
of arrival
a
reassembled
happening
a
boundary
  overrun
 &unfocused
throughout

Centuries of lies, a hollow myth
Perpetuated by charlatans with great ceremony
The Greatest Show, the living bread
The crowd sustained and animated by necromancy
The will is fused, the body dismembered and reassembled
Eager dehumanization, they tread the path
An...

Memories refreshed as the pictures-scenes flickered. Reality stood still as time
reversed-rewound. Memories connected, thoughts reassembled, moments rearranged.

Brains reprocessed those beautiful, lovely smiles and terrible tortures, the tense and
engulfing moments that were discerning with time. Minds...

You and I are stardust 
unseen specks 
hurled from unknown supernovas
exploding in deep space
an eternity away, ago
carried away on galactic winds 
cosmic dandelions
scattered through limitless night  
a universe apart
random  
yet converging
over millions, billions,...

TAMING THE TRAUMA

a leitmotif
 forever
a delicate moment
 buffeted &vulnerable
 a microcosm
of sentiment
 unsubtle
 reinforced

complications
of the
 romantic relationship
  which
elicits an
emotional
  response

  broken fragments
devastation
 suspended
&
carefully
 reassembled
in shadows
 on the wall

precariousness
a crucial
 component
  feels
resonant
 again
