Long Ring of truth Poems

I used to be obsessed with fashion, caring far too much about clothes,
Like the sun whenever he's coming and going, is striking vanity's pose.

I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,
Like...

It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance
Two lovers embraced in their world of romance.

They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare
It was their world for this...

It’s not with finger, you’ll wear this ring
It’s to be worn with heart and soul
For there was a man who wore it proud
From whom, death took its toll

He knew one day, the ring would find
Its...

Ask you men do ye yet ken still acting in the right?
Of better days and other ways
We faced each day and night
Whispered secrets of delight enchanted dreams of youth
Wisps of withered warps of worth
Without the...

FOCUS

an artifice
  of  endeavour
precise
candid & confiding
quietly
in unobtrusive
      clarity

a focus
mirrored in
unshowy
  lucidity
in calm
equanimity

inducing
feelings of
 anxiety
a
revelatory
 addendum
 intimate &
immediate
beguiling yet
 singular
with
interesting
glints
&gleams



TONES
a scathing
  ring of truth
 indulging a
kind of hope
 with awkward
revelations

so  glamorous
yet
decadent debauched
&reluctant
in
an intimate setting
 of perception
recast
to intervene
  &

sought comfort
of desire
 so sweet — until
tension was
 present

this closeness
within
the
relationship
of
  intrigue
so circumspect
 & on  display
yet
 constructive &
respectful.

Today begins a union blessed
By heaven’s gentle hands,
And as my feelings do suggest
Its strength eternal stands.

Into your eyes, my lover sweet
I’ll stare with great regard,
For mine do burn with ardent heat
Behind them once so scarred.

But...

I'm on a ride back to nowhere.
Back where I started from.
Where the ring of truth goes round in circles.
And you just end up a bum.

I've spun my wheels till there's no tread.
Sung for my meals...

The First Round

You are a pothole that I swerve not to hit.

But you follow my trail endlessly and the sniffing.

When I am cornered I lash and teeth bare menacingly.

We circle each other looking for an...

Homer and Oscar have both had a persnickety day
They are dancing a swiggle wiggle jig, heading my way
I love watching these identical leprechauns on St. Patrick’s day

I do not need a cup of tea.
I do not need you're sympathy.
I don't need you to be obtuse.
I just need a cup of Seuss.

The nib, the nub the flub a dub.
A ring of truth...

Sue’s purchased a huge baked bean mountain,
There’s ninety six tin’s  - she’s been countin'
From midnight to morn
She’ll toot like a horn
There’s a flatulent stench I’m not doubtin!

Her neighbours they sure are not smiling
They’ve noticed...

Does someone really know why am I me?
Could it be those in secret societies?
Can they bring answers to my awareness,
That's my consciousness that is not careless?

Or yet, can they control my destiny...
Designed-shots; forever eternity?
That is...

A happy childhood
the joy of discovery
shattered on the day 
she turned thirteen
when her father's
love for her changed
took on an ugly face

No longer innocent
No longer clean
The dark secret now
kept to herself
His words of love
no longer held

Light 
within,
is hidden
from cognition,
so if honest Joe
says that is not quite so,
their words have a ring of truth;
we accept what they speak as true,
since divine light is as yet concealed,
which, in timeless time, will be...
