Long Sequenced Poems

Youth

When orchids bloom in beauty life's aglow
to hold emotions locked in deep repose
in young desire and love warm thoughts will show.
Affection holds its ardor as it grows
to burn inside young hearts in evening tide.
In darkest...

margins stimulate and juxtapose
  edges greet with troubled, disturbing friction
  faraway forces exert influence and combine relentlessly
  how the Sun and Moon dance together about the planet Earth
  their grasping hands...

SAD Seasonally Affective Disorder

Some are prone to depression in winter when days get shorter when
less light enters the brain through the eyes and thoughts become darker

I am also affected and when news gets explosive when...

My Clone Got No Soul

My clone, it seems, came out with no soul,
I guess it got lost, in the petri dish bowl.
In the mirror, a face like me would come through,
But that’s where it ended,
He...

Did your mother ever tell you,
Did you know?
(Some of us have a penchant for the inscrutable)
Did, your mother ever tell you
(These bonds are primordial and immutable)
In one of those intimate conversations
Between mother and child
(Mostly wasted...

prism rays of an original author
report life's guidance treated as a synonymic opera
sequenced by acts of kindness and walking in blindness true to your kindness
shallow creeks awaiting the prodigal beaver now that the meat markets...

The North Wind whistles as she lifts
her soft and sequenced hair,
her milky gown glows amethyst
as moon drops gather where
the Earth’s soft, gentle eyes fall closed
and tears arrest the night.
Her sleepy heart, to all exposed
abreast the...

The Final Home Coming
 
From where the sky meets the high seas
Talking drums rolled out endless eulogies
As we waited, with the shore’s mud up to our knees
Some even did dance to the rhythm - no apologies

My name is semaj
Far distant planet I hail
Distress beacon sensed
Civilisaton to fail
 
Negative scents
Disturbs my thoughts
This paradise place
Millions distraught
 
Gravity erratic
Tides adrift
Earth unbalanced
Out of orbital shift
 
Racolny,
The butterflied winged elf
Has captured their moon
In wanton stealth

In my Zen garden I have created a tranquil place,
the peace and serenity I find there-   I embrace.
It started as nothing but emptiness but I had a plan,
installed window boxes with the...

Just yesterday this patriarch
sat on the beach to watch the larks,
parents and grandkids digging sand
a warm sun, stranger in the land.

No breeze to sap the gentle heat,
the sea far off with the tides neap
absorbing there...

Beside midnight's minting bare branches
   Dead fingered messages on bedroom pane scratches

Night dons a sequenced shawl,
sparkling with trillions of stars, like cosmic candles
twinkling within the blackness.
And a golden moon gleams like
a precious bobble mirrored on a placid lake,
where gilded ripples dance to the sound of applauding...

Flat pack Wobbler

Procured from mega shop, a straight-lined box amid a cardboard wall 
Where jig saw chattels rise above the queues of flatbed wheelies
And underarm catalogues patterned with an iconic list of what they are
When...

She is dancing like a fairy with her long-sequenced gown,

Her long, curly hair swaying as she moves around.

Angels are watching her over the moonlit shadow.

Closed eyes,indulging the melody of playing  tunes. 

A cavalry came...

Dawn slowly awakened to supplant the moon
Empty, the canopy where stars had been strewn
   In repose, Luna slept after wandering velvet skies
   and spider webs shimmered in the flight of sunrise

ENDWORD


What intimacy is its cause,perhaps

an immaculate conception of words;

too swift to comprehend,see or

recognise.The moment is there

and then is not.Gone with the wind

the seed of idea remains, to

germinate and gestate,fanned by a

mental fragrance of elation.Slowly

self-transcending a...

Dot to dot and dash to dash:
telegrams sent in a flash.
Electromagnetic force:
credit goes to Samuel Morse.
Dots connected on a map
by his magic tap-tap-tap.
Letters had a sequenced code
on the wire and down the road.
Dot is short...

This sleeping dog, from winter's rate
is so sublime, survivor's state
not acquisitions in relate
nor oft imposing, oft sedate!

So look upon my line's rebate
not spoken with a narrow gate
but obvious, exacting date
whilst looking only seals my fate!
