Long Sympathise Poems

A colourful array of falsehoods
Intricately designed disguises 
Fools, fortunes, phantoms
Masks clinging on their faces
 Lives hidden away by an illusory veils
Veils that cannot be removed
Cannot be seen
Secrets tucked away in their eyes
Each a pair of...

You always aspired to the distinguished air
That tends to attend the depths of despair,
Strove to emanate the sophistication
You associate will suicidal tendencies

Wallow in an elegant depression,
A pretty little picture perfect portrait
Of a contemporary damsel in...

I've experienced many things in my life
things went wrong things went right
I didn't grow up rich or in poverty

Through seventy years of change,
Orb and sceptre in your hands,
Serving your people, young and old,
You have reigned over these lands. 

To duty called when you were young,
You took the oath in Edwards chair. 
The crown...

You see your problems important 
because they are to you 
My problem’s your ignorance 
it’s not my problem too 

You destroy the peace 
Bangs and shouts increase 
you don’t shut up or cease 
No escaping...

In the shadows softly waiting
when the sun is at its height,
to emerge when all the glory
of the day gives way to night,
always patient, Jesus watches,
when we need no light to guide,
when we think our strength...

Fascination rodeoed on Jacob's face
When Grandad related battle tales
from his years fighting Vietnam War
Distant fathoming is fantasy implored
Rough ideas imagine a glorious place

With regal intention, Grandad faithfully gifted
his jungle enduring life saving switch knife
Italian stiletto,...

NAMES   FOR  COUNTRIES  OR  PLANETS


I can understand and sympathise with famous cities 
Being named after animals eg Buffalo or Phoenix, if they must; 
But when whole countries are named after...

We gave up our unity

With each and every barrier;

Abandoned integrity

Ushers in each disaster.

 

With our “narrow domestic walls”,

We all live in a cocoon;

Do we ever answer Nature’s call?

How do we expect her boon?

 

We defiled...

‘A man cold’

I stay stationary, collapsed, in a room unlike mine
I stay bare, as I wait for my thoughts to align
the bloodied hand continues it's repetitive round
soon the dust in this chamber will have me drowned

I feel so rustic,
The world being in such a haste
Than my normal pace of existence.
As sparks of thoughts form in my brain,
The time takes a giant leap,
And reflects on my novel thoughts
Calling it gibberish before...

BOYS   IN   SCHOOL

They must reorganize their brain stem
They are made to sit in rows
And try to see what each  one knows

We must...

great leaders sup in style
tete a tete, haute cuisine
attentive servants grovel
perfectly pleased to preen
as common soldiers while away
the quick moments of their lives
until the final stanza
battle screams, widowed wives
bullet sandwich breakfast
shrapnel pie for brunch
body bags...

The Soup Is Down
Now is the winter of her discontent
It started since no soup was sent
Off into the ether, gone somewhere
I hope someone somewhere hears my prayer
Return her to her soup I beg
She cannot even...

Friendship means everything to me,
It would be a sad existance without
good friends to care for and spend
quality time with.

problems arise they are there to
really show they care and sympathise,

All others can see the words written on my pages.
I contain tales, read as secretive,
A hushed whisper that only a handful have seen.

But how many times has this book been...

I am empty of empathy
come sympathise with me
Cue the violins,
or just fiddle
like a bad-tempered Roman

Offer me hope:
bring flamboyant symbols,
cheap gold pendants with wings
Maybe a big gaudy 
unflappable albatross
nothing too flash,
mind you!

Take my hand,
lead me towards...

Carolyn Devonshire-Poetess I never met
was similar to I for she also had regret…
Remorse maybe complexed and burdening to one
never brings no peace of mind and certainly no fun.

Before money there was trade and bartering in...

To many you may think
I am a game
I am fame.

But you are wrong
I was created only to inflict pain
If you are not careful 
My brothers and I will put you in jail.

Days itself found escape
Nights in kind, I cannot grasp
Time only fades to forever wait
Unforeseen memories… only last

Thoughts were reasoned light
Unburden by burdens to claim refresh
In my mind were my sight
For this moment… my soul has...

I wish to live in a place of peace
In a place of silence
in a place where there's no argument
in a place where I have to think less

In a place where there's space
No people to torture...
