Long Slacken Poems

They’re drawing the curtains in Dorking,
Lighting the candles and pouring the lotions.
Switching off TV’s and shelving resentments,
Checking on children asleep in the darkness,
Creeping   up hallways   like teenage lovers.
Stairs and hopes creaking...

STILL KICKING
I've got this smile on my face,
tears rolling down my check, but I ant apologetic about it, 
not bluffing though I hear buzzing sounds, being very busy I remain unhinge,
can't be knock off balance...

The road to my backyard is long and straight
Evergreen trees abound and provide welcome shade
Home to myriad birds, butterflies and the bees
Last summer their branches were sawn off, without notice
The orgy with power-saws lasted barely...

In a squat way at the back of high street
Lived a blue-eyed soul, Orpheus his name.
A blues and roots minstrel of rock and beat,
He was a living legend, with fame aflame.

Eurydice was his radiant star.
They...

Oh! Do see and behold
Of  mother and womb
The writings on the wall 
Crouching about the world so high
Their presence you can't deny
Hallelujah,  
         hallelujah,  
                   hallelujah...     
                                           Hallelujah 

Is Your faith  draining now?
As doubt begins...

Dust rises thick with grim, sweat drips from rims
of drug-store eyes he wears to spy. 
A parting of the slats, which dangle by twin hooks
This Moses at the sea
will look, and count, to see who's...

What’s this heavy weight? If I could see it, 
I would launch it from my chest.
Do I not deserve a reason for cradling such a thing?
Do my shallow breaths not catch your attention?
When my arms...

lives clogged with gadgetry
          like drains on overflow
young minds scurried atop tech pitchforks

where are treasures yet to be discovered?
within anything they could be
in our hearts gems lie still covered
i want to find them in me

with help from the people i meet
i will explore all my old limitations

The game it starts with the drop of a two
At 6PM sharp with the whole [CENSORED] crew.
The cards will be dealt in a random way,
But yet we all know by the end of the day,
We...

When daffodils brighten my windowsill

And warm Spring rain begins to fill

My outdoor pots and borders wide

My heart cannot help but burst with pride

We have survived Winter's squalls and snow

Spring has arrived for a few weeks...

It all sparks off
With the mention of the park
Her white tail twirling
Relishing the renewal 
Of her communion with nature
Her contact with her ancestral past

Then off to the park in the car
Where ,after taking her ease,
She...

My reflection is too heavy to bear 
alone, it’s easier to look at myself and my failures
through the amber liquid, tears
through my system, warm and sure.

Midst gifts of life, like poison in nectar, pains flow in too,
Endlessly, as though, they pester us with unceasing woe; 
Schedules suffer; Works slacken; spirit and body slow down, 
Existence turns, like, eternal psycho-physic breakdown...!

The overhasty mind gets cluttered
often losing concentration,
not doing chores or things 
rationally, but overloading
itself with unneccesary thinking;
it happens to me sometime,
leaving the car key inside the ignation!
Imagine my grumpy mood...
I get very skittish and to...

In the realm of dreams and gaiety
A rose blooms in my heart, glamour strikes with vivacity 
My stretched hand reaches to fondly pet the palm 
But like wind, the goddess ghostly evanesces with a calm...

You may call me autonimon,
having proved I am solely a number.
Soulessly, I toil for your spoil,              
drowned by what you encumber.
You smile...

I am sailing upon open waters.  The wind,  in my face, 
thrashes white sails and casts briny foam into flight
from churning seas.  My boat is buffeted by mighty waves. 
I stand at...

***BEWARE***

I saw the eyes as they called for me,
I felt the nearness as she
Smiled at me,
With undying love for passionate bliss.
Carried away by the moonlight in her eyes,
"another Adam to me you are"
She whispered quietly...

The good fortune guaranteed luck
Ferried in the same heads that slacken
When the Professional  heads became slain
Under the demands of the ego nice

The society's pin knitting downwards
The base pointing the Potter's Port
With the man-eater man...

Pensive tempered thought
          in light morning fog that picks a fight

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time, 
'cause...

Pelted forth, hanging strings of moorland curtains,
  Endless rains, tart and stinging nettles,
Drive the icy pitons, needles of frozen spite,
  Through the scalp into the mind where it unsettles.

God, I hate this land,...

Rising and falling all 
These while,
Do cast out your burden
Or your world keeps breaking,
You know where it pinches
Blow it out like ashes
Or it remains and scratches 
You like some rashes.
