Long Scotching Poems

As far as the eyes can stretch
Sand shines and glitters white to torment the eyes
In the ocean of land barren without life
A determined line of black souls 
Forges ahead their efforts
A sole upon sole they...

DUSK
In the famine ravaged lands
The atmosphere is pregnant with uncertainty
Of what tomorrow brings forth
A herdsman leads his malnourished goats
Into their pens with their fable cries barely
Audible as hunger pangs strike ferociously

Carcasses of starved animals carpet...

Temple may be far from my place,
Let me bring smile, to someone’s face.

Life began with a sweet charm,
enjoying till extreme, no matter what harm.

Childhood was beautiful as could be,
Without exasperation and necessitate, eternally free.

It was...

you’ll see a beautiful creature

I listened
The sound of the gushing waters on the rocks
Soft sounds soothing to this troubled heart
Soothing and mending
I listened
My soul is yet at peace longing for more
Why is it so demanding so wearing?

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE

A life full of mysteries and surprises
A life where daybreak doesn't guarantee sunshine
The priests places the sacrifice at his shrine
But bcos the gods are angry they are eaten by swine

Life full of...

The pieces of peace were handpicked
Picked in the heart of the night 
Shredded for an aspiration 
To clutch the lone torch contained by the dark
A glimpse for some unusual rank

Then comes the arrival of time...

Crossing thresholds of blooms and dewdrops of glorious spring,
Toward autumn proudly walks season-bride with golden ring;
Her costumes, robes of ballet dancers, as per scenes, changes,
Facets of nature alter her charm to cosmic ranges...!

And the mother ship has lost her spin around the axis

And we’re all gone, is there proof...

Scotching heat, burning sand
Curse this never ending land 
Though we walk, we walk in vain
Thirst of life bringing us pain

We search for life's great oasis 
But nothing in sight, no relief found
Just the sight of...

Birdsong serenade
Sun beams streaming;
Abrupt illumination

~~~~~~~~~


Food mall gallery
Tempting flavours;
Sensational buzz

~~~~~~~~~


Busy feet scatter
Muddy puddles;
Rain water gushing

~~~~~~~~~


Humid weather burns
Dehydrated faces;
Scotching heatwave

~~~~~~~~~


Severe flu bout
Head dizzy drowsy;
Coughing frustration

~~~~~~~~~


By this bench
Watch busy people;
Pursuing taut agendas

~~~~~~~~~


City fringe footpath
Workday buzz zigzags;
Toils and pursuits

”It may not be what I want
It may end up just like the last one
Not even sure he is the one
Staying back seems my only level ground”

Is now fiercer than...

Our search for perfect knowledge has led us
Through a perilous journey, from the scotching sun
Of the distance river in the Savannah
Across oceans, and snow white
Mountains of the Yankees
Some  drank from the fountain of knowledge

Short Snort of Scotch

We will be going on trip week from tomorrow
And a bright idea I recently tried to borrow
Must be careful making sure I don't botch
By forgetting to bring along a bottle of Scotch.

There was a time not so long ago
When my children still ran on little legs

Wading through ocean green evening summer grass
Their faces bright as lamps with laughter

Hop-scotching up to their knees
In polka dotted waves of...

The bee knows to find pollens;
the spider, to bridge a gorge—

Stream follows a slope
and locates the sea

I am black and only cover your head
I am dead
yet you strife
to keep me alive

You bathe me with expensive soaps
scent me with fragrant perfumes and sprays
feed me with nutrients exported over  seas and air

Live lovely looks
Bright blessings book
Craze consigns crook


Oomph orders ooze
Beer bottle booze
Senile sense snooze

Flavours frame fine
Muse mellows mine

Free fragrant feed
Waste wallows weed

Surrounded by numerous faces
An intangible  feeling lingers
Lost in this treacherous world
Of a nightmare such as this

You were my strength,
My shield in the tumultous rain
In your presence I had peace
Safe in your warm embrace

85TH BIRTHDAY –
Journal IX

Nostalgia figures no
time span
An event of many,
many years seems no
more
      than a few
Looking out on the
world with the same
eyes
Memory is tricked
Ah yes that, but
wishfulness too
