Long Sachets Poems

Embrace The Lines

Vitality marks gently stretch your soft skin beyond the wildest dreams of
beauty unbound where children had once or thrice embraced your womb
the soothing waters cushioning and cradling three miracles three water 
marks engraved...

I was a dedicated, expert arborist, bringing joy and comfort to shady spaces,
As mountains give cool joy to blooms, in butterscotch afternoon's last traces.

A love of trees grew in youth, when climbing our oak, four...

Private Residence

Sign at the gate – no solicitors –
Beyond the rosewood door sanctuary in seclusion
Untouched by hands racing round
A face framed by chimes and alarms –
Measures of mincing minutes
Exiled with suitcases packed
To astral planes of...

Sometimes I feel I know nothing about life

But I do know something about Kenya

I come from the gustily, hilly terrains of rural Ingavira

Where huts form bungalow sorts of flawless beauty

An ambiance of warm soothing atmosphere

And...

I was a planetary climatologist, who studied climate variability and change,
Like sweet variability of stunning, green tulips, in lavish garden rearranged.

Studying the said effects on the biosphere, absorbed so many daily hours,
Like industrious days of...

Ce sont de grosse perles tombées à l'envi du paradis,
Grain à grain, plus luisantes que tout superbe satin.
Leur fraîcheur et délicatesse proviennent du séraphin,
Qui dit: jamais ses qualités ne deviendront ni taries ni décaties.
Tant qu'il...

I smell something so beautiful!
Many different fragrances are drifting toward me.
So many sachets of poetry are prettily displayed.
Such visual delights!
I stoop to relish one - a citrus blend
with sweet anise and cinnamon.
Ah! How fun this...

 Last good days of innocence

He did came 
with no trace
with no chain no fame
no frame or mark of true repentance
In skeletons of liquid pawns
carved in satirical steer

Streets bubbling
enchanted in silence
men wailing, 
choking, bundled like...

Warm breath, pure sweet from open mouth, soft parted lips so slick,
Butterfly tongue teasing mine, flitting, tip-tip, slow, slow, quick. 
Now serpentine, deep and probing, firm against my own,
One way, then the next, who taught...

Consciousness Correction – 11-20-23

Consciousness Correction

Envy sneaks in unseen
A thief robbing light from my house of gratitude,
Sowing simmering anger, extinguishing thankfulness,
In blind yellowed views
Gratitude held captive,
Strangled,
Pennies of “I wish” tossed into stone cisterns
Where winter thrashes cyclconic...

In these days of austerity
It’s getting to be a treat
To go out for a few pints
And have a bite to eat,
So, Please Mr Pub Landlord
Grant me just a little wish
Bring back the vinegar bottle
So I...

On a sunny afternoon in my country...
With the hope of receiving alert for the new minimum wage in my dreams
I decided to sleep knowing it was a sunny afternoon 
Everything was hot and could not...

Quote: "From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent of my Beloved.
How can I help but follow that fragrance?"  By Rumi

She, an inhale of perfume on a summer day vacant as the scent...

Life hands us gold and we look at the road
A few days away and we share every minute,
Three  single beds,
Like story book orphans,
Which you bounce across in games of convoluted chase,
Involving code words and...

At the end of my tunnel I use to see the light.
It was built not with rock but with thick vines green and bright.

I could see my path it was there I always walked,
sometimes I...

Luminous as a star jointed at the seam with darkly hue, it 
Imbibes the centipede of heaven's bliss and then releases  
Quizinary scents of blueberry sachets. Permeating the night  
Undulating it to motion...

Flowers were snoring with sweet dreams,
When the Sun's fingers woke them up;
A symphony of birds-chorus,
Like a concert, seemed to thrill up...

Amidst summer's severe staring,
Rain opened his tap so softly;
A Ray-gleam joyously wetting…
The breeze seemed to...

Arm piece;
Piece of glamor;
A bedazzling jewel.

Parade of fancy flesh.
Kind to his eyes.
Soft to his touch.

Mindless merchandise
Fallen breast.
Eyes swollen;
Damaged by
Reckless owner.

Invested in the flesh.
He has stashed away
Yesterday’s
Pleasures
numerically.

Stored
in backroom boxes
Of subfuscous
treasures.
Women
Tucked away
As for yesterday’s booty.
Serves now but...

Sprinkling scented  sachets of cheer
Perking grim faces afar and near
Ringing out gloom and despair
It is  again that time of year
Nimble footed, treads with care
Glides in dispelling mists of fear

Ink out each dreary day
Sunny...

There’s fish and chips on the table 
It’s lovely and all piping hot
Sauce and vinegar was in bottles
Salt and pepper  each in its pot.
Now it’s laid out on the table
Driving me more and more...

We’re monopolized by the Saran-wrapped food,
the plastic cutlery,
absorbed by the clutter of the food tray.

Numbed by hours of jiggling,
the carting of torpid bodies through interminable distance,
we’re wedged now into boredom, uncomfortably numb.

Anesthetized – we fear...

Not for any contest.

The large airplane wobbled slightly,
Someone just screamed impolitely.
An announcement urged all for calm,
Lying was she without a qualm.

The airplane wobbled scarily,
Outside a storm raged terribly.
In vain the speaker asked for calm,
Someone began...

familiar ghost in her house
gave off an odor of lilacs
Jean took comfort in this visitor
Believing her to be benevolent and loving
perhaps she was her Great Aunt Eunice
or her Grandma Pat
They both wore lilac
and kept sachets...

Quote: Don't let the lilacs die without a touch of sweet perfume 
send forth, from life to grave  

She scented her wings with a powdery substance of lilac 
then parachuted to earth tipping her...

Fields of lavender so divine
Withstand the test of endless time
Year by year with purple hue
Magical moment's fragrant debut.

Spray of lavender in linen chest
Between clean sheets summer pressed
Muslin sachets tied with bow
Lovely fragrant after-glow.

Redolent fields in...
