Long Tiffs Poems

Texture is nature's and life's universal adornment.
Texture titillates and tantalises the senses,
adorning the smooth, flat and boring
with bumps, context, meaning, dimensions and grip.

See me, hear me, touch me, smell me, taste me -
all get embellished...

When we got married you said I was the only one
But you disappear for days and leave me with our son
Go off with your mates and leave me high and dry
I’ve since heard subtle rumours...

Know any???
They NEVER have anything good to impart,
they fondly embrace doom and gloom!
Everything with them is all grief and strife-
they walk in and take warmth from a room!

Bad karma and drama they wear like a...

This Dissembling Man...

Trod thru three
score orbitz with air
tight (hermetically sealed)
lid on his emotions bare
reft of evincing

concern and/or care
ring forever guarded against
incursions upon fragile as chinaware
psyche foregoing giving
healthy breathing room

never to dare
risk challenging discomfort zones

I may not send you flowers or shower you with gifts. 
I may not miss you daily or enjoy our weekly tiffs.

I may not want to discuss every single feeling felt
And I may lose my...

Not so long ago,
I thought I was some superhero.
Flew high and big with my wings of ego,
And my arrogance began to grow.
With nobody to stop me or tow,
I soared over the brow,
With no worry or...

My love, do you ever know...

In your moments of hushed silence, 
I am your sound;

You are the rhythm
of the symphonic waves
in the vast sea 
of my romantic verses;

Jasmine blooms, fresh, I am
and you, the thread,...

I hate that I can touch the ceiling in my bathroom walls.
I hate that eerie lonesome feeling that I'm getting tall.
I hate how e'erything now is small and how I've grown so high.
I hate how...

Living in the moment
is so hard to do
When your life is being blown around,
like the wind outside the door.

Not knowing how you will survive
And rebuild your entire life
While trying to protect
your unborn child.

Your house has...

The demise of tears and fears fraternizes no frown
From my heart honed to handle an emphatic event
That stresses the face and pace of concerns in my town.

Tame any dame who claims to blame Bloom Brown

age crawls
explores on bended knees
stands tall, takes flight to flee 
as if pursued by marauding thieves 

from a rocking chair on rotting porch
I stare without remorse 
across snowy fields valleys and forks
past fallen walls that...

she sits on a toilet seat
slitting her stomach
making small lines
that sent mental messages
to her head
bleeding out the anger
that dilates her perspective
of this world
In the dark 
she wrote mantras
on her ankles and sat
in a tub of...

I know this is a big surprise!
To a friend, I fondly want to praise!
Takes me a decade back in time,
To the days we would call as our ‘prime’
Am amazed at the strong inner self that...

I could murder a curry, Death mumbled under his voice
A Terry Pratchett icon in his fantastic discworld universe 
Imagination…the inspiration of many
This legend awe inspiring…
Every book, every tale
Breathing new life into each 
Even as his...

for give, for giving
the whole world seems
forgiven for living
these ends to extremes

for give me mine
indiscretions that
seemed so benign
i nearly fell flat

forgive me my will
that hard hit the wall
hardened me until
i forgot to recall

Desire to hold hands
Look into 
Each-other’s eyes
Just like 
Those school girls
Just like 
Those young guys
Say sweet nothings
Spend time together
Go away from 
Prying eyes
Farther and farther
No puppy love this
No teenage infatuation
But still reliving 
The young days
Giving...

Insurrection of dust
Phantasmagoria of markets
Sagging tiffs
Drunken kisses
Embraces-
                  Obeisance
To the restless wanderer
The once and repeated newcomer.
A monocle
Surveys pandemonium's dais,
Its...

Forget riffs of regrets

But

To the hilt
We tilt to 
Inbuilt lilt
A guilt quilt
Can jilt & wilt 

But

No tiffs with what ifs
Won’t let you fret
Circumspect.. I find
Older you get
Bet..more honest…more kind

Care more..know more
Late bloomer rumour
Embraces candour...humour
Respect velvety...

The cozy bed, the alarm, a fight to be first in choice
The honk, the rush and late for breakfast, moms voice
An abode brimming with love, happiness, dreams
A place of daily tiffs and of silly screams

With more than a hint of anxiety
I doubt all around me
Seeing demons in every shadow
I worry constantly

No rest for my mind
No peace for my conscience
Every breeze that blows
Is an omen of impending doom

I feel so...

Every day with you, mad, insane
Every day, going down the memory lane
You by my side,
Time flies,
Your care, your scare
Your eyes beautiful, your skin fair
Your charm, your sensuality
Your devotion, your love for me
But also, 
The tiffs,...

The one I missed in the contest.

Goodbye, my lost love. It is the end.
I cannot really comprehend,
The tiffs we had that we cannot mend,
I'm sure I cannot call you a friend.

Don't send me flowers, I...
