Long Sartorial Poems

"Stand up straight" yelled the judge "Tell the court how 
you plead" he enquired of the young man accused
"You are here to be tried of a heinous crime so why are you looking amused".
"Not Guilty!...

Of an august-like, autumn day:

I kept on walking
Bespoke in dust-coated
Check jacket,
Check pants,
Polo-neck jersey ...
I rambled destinationless:
A la les sapeur - 
The gods,
The directors,
Were focusing on me - 
Me the starring only
As

I kept on walking
In all...

They weave, they weave
They weep and they weave
Smarting under the persecuting whips -
Verbal, literal or carnal whips
They weep, they weep.

Locust-like they swarm the streets
To reach the factories before the sun settles well
In its diurnal rounds.
There...

A cartridge filled with a horde of shackled emotions, am I,
Trifle feelings loiter within me, until she elicits them out,
Wizened by time, she knows that otherwise I might turn mordacious... 
God guides my pen and...

Sweet September, see how splendidly she shines!
Subtlety submitting seasonal splendour, she
swamps summer’s splendiferous sights,
by stealthily shrouding splendid scenery, 
with suffused sensuous, sybaritic, scenarios!
Sublimely serene, she spatters and splashes
slivers of saffron, sepia and sienna shades,
slapdash over...

You came to give me a slap, your arm bent back,
with the back of your hand poised to 'shut my trap.'
I stood to rebuff you with anger, and schoolboy indignation. 
How dare you bring reproach...

The wheel of time carries me away
from the listless life rooted in the present
to the distant desolate wilderness,
where I was once, but left forever,
that’s the fading past receding fast,
yet to get abandoned and obliterated.

The Duchess of Plouck spends her day in pursuit of sartorial splendor, 
In order to help her employ deceitful ways well suited for her gender. 

For she and her Duke had swore out a pact...

Life! What approbations to recall?
A solace that never was – Utopia

Should such love get forgiveness?
The seminal seeds of such a cast…

Claims of the spurious narcissistic
Ah! Words, rescind not a sarcoma

What is a necktie dangling for?
too stiff, too thin to be a scarf,
        a bibi or apron;

too smooth to be a good hankie,
 too short to be a...

Daddy comes everyday when the twilight
Bifurcates the light into shadows
Like a miscreant, grasshopper
Intrudes into the cracks of walls
Mom became a vociferous loudspeaker
Alcohol staggers inside his belly
Like the movement of snake.. 
He never came that day
Mamma's...

Peace rages within my soul as my heart clings to the cataclysm of freedoms

The flaws of the fiery furnace were expediently exposed by Elohim's...

THE PENGUIN

Way down south on a continent frozen
The penguin a tough life has chosen
Though you’d think he’d be coy
Like a super-cool playboy
You’ll find him out preening and posin’

With movement on foot unexciting
He shuffles along then...

After 5 hours of flying and sitting
we display an assorted redundancy
a sanctioned paraphernalia.
Rumpled files of sartorial inelegance
squeezed shoulder to shoulder.
A night flight,
the tube is wheezing tainted air.
We are a junkyard for travelers
moving not by our...

    he flaunts his wealth and social 
                    position.
