Long Revelries Poems

I bring you a live commentary match between Sin and Grace

Sin are inches away to the box
Lust shots, Self-Control reacts well and blocks
Longsuffering has been fouled at the 18-yard
Pride has been booked, he gets a...

I had to sit through it all
the conversation that was inevitable
What they did
Where they went
What they saw...
My brother and his wife
On the their expensive trip to see Roger Federer in the flesh
My husband and daughter...

I once was a SEAL, an operator
I filled my country’s foes with cool dread,
Send countless terrorists screaming to hell
Where no virgins awaited the dead.
I met my own end many years later,
And a strange one it...

The children shot rockets painting the heavens in psychedelic colours
And showers of fluorescent rainbow colours came dancing down
The air burst with thunderous rumblings of crackers and fireworks
Happiness cast its glow on joyous faces on the...

Regally it stands, the staunch guardian of her lonesome heart,
Reminiscing in revelries of yore, treasured memories impart,
Defying glum turbulence of now, hanging on to seasons past,
When springs-winsome banished, doldrums harsh-winters cast. 

Disheartened, the gate harkens...

Centaurs

~*~

In Greek Mythology monsters come in all shapes
sometimes hideous and strange . . . often representing
the dark forces in life, creatures such as Centaurs-- part
human and part horse, they are man's unruly, instinctive

This old oak-tree smiling through my balcony
Sways and swings cheerily, a happy emissary,
Budding new vigor upon tiny greenish leaves
Adorning exuberance of idyllic new morning, 
Quivering golden-beams on dawning of spring.

When the sun rises, blushing mauve...

Gypsy Queen 

Catch a glimpse of her, standing near the willow
Long, deepest of black hair flowing in the winds
Her people stoke the fires, watch it dance and billow
All the dances and revelries, come nighttime begins

Such...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 59

Does Nature dispose at random by whim or wish
In all probability by set built-in laws
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish

From your hands that dipped me in cool tubs 
and soft morn wakes, you were the gentle lion
taming my bohemian strains; the lamb of summer
rain catching me like a feather on your palm...
always, your balm...

It either comes stealthily at first like a spy or announces as a fanfare but more often 

like a bride in white being no respecter of beings or things equally fooling all in the

While sighs arose from dried marsh and clay, 
the girl in me embraced an amiable virtue
 born out of an affinity for our town’s revelries :
 Oh   those bouncy play with cousins

These are my hands, take them.
Wire up the skies with lights set white with moments.
We'll pluck each one and mesmerize the past
with distorted faces of the present
Laughing, tearing pools of liquid star glaze
remembering each bleached...

Oh, splendorous, spectacular, resplendent autumn!

Boldly you dye cypress ~ flaunting ochre, cinnamon,
Yellowing sugar-maple, glazing tangerine emotions,

As scarlet winds warble in accents of majestic aspens,
Responding in purple whispers, tupelo leaves flutter

Reminiscing in revelries evoked by red-oak...

Shattered dream of hushed night
Trapped in tenebrous nightmare
A world without you, a forlorn cry, 
Vacant stare of lonesome life
Aching to hear your loving voice.

A chorus of sweet angelic hymn
Saddened to remain unsung,
A charming ballad of...

While finding  myself in  season’s twilight
I see parts of life crumble amid grime of ruins,
As a  declining mind wanders to  balance
Gratified triumphs and numerous offenses.
That from an era’s DNA,  I...

How often, I remember when

Mom's voice calmed from all my fears	
As nightfall traced our shadow-dance;
Childhood tricks glowing in our eyes
While fairy tales spoke of romance.

Fine the hands swerving along winds,
Rock-a-bye tunes lulled mellow nights
Tender age...

Woowhew....is the whistlestop,
our journey to slow
Christmas train revelries,
nearby choir they sing.....

Harkest as Angels
dawn morning noel
sweet blissfull voices
their story to tell....

"May peace be your only,
no wish and no dream
Holy,Holy,Holy....true wholly can be,
It starts in your heart,

Dissolute December

As far as the dissolute December went
And beyond , went the waywardness of minds
And the apostate April at last did  end
The real- time revelries  sometimes feigned.
Letting the reins drop and resting all...

In realm of love, you are the awe of mystique~
Musings of smitten soul, passions bespeak,
When glances romantic lure enamored night
To dance of fantasies moonlit revelries ignite
Waltzing with stars scintillating opaline skies, 
As smiles endearing emanate...

THE POETS

We are the conscience of the heart; the custodians
of her emotions: conjuring, molding, sculpting and
etching her most sacred feelings upon the canvas 
of time’s times.

We are devoted lexical midwifes;    
delivering depolarized...

  The terrace of our flat is a place for retired kings
  the sun shines humbly not burning my nose and

Flesh to bone, lets solly our love
And clad our apples in green leaves.

The river that brought us together 
The milk of our breasts, yet flourishing
Shall not dry up in brimming season-

The snail wet the ground...
