Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch
Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...
What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only a...

When the Loss Is Ineffable
When the Loss is Ineffable!
By Jean Bosco SIBOMANA
Win-lose game occurs in many situations
And bargainers made it a standard saying
When involved in various negotiations
To come up with a common understanding
We lose property and it seems...

The Victim
5/10/13
I’m the victim…
Are you the predator?
I feel hurt –
I am oversensitive
I am an unstable table
The pain’s TOO unbearable
Intolerable…
Unendurable…
Am I your bull’s eye?
Are you the strong, enduring one?
You allured me into your trap…
And...

Gratitude
--------
desperate madness, and aching sadness once held me tight
now, unexplainable memories, NOT unendurable, that's right
time went on, and beautiful love shone through
between quivering me, and radiant you
now, these eyes see quite a bit clearer
shadows faded...

Rice Farmers Decide To Be Rude
A knee-Imprisoning Marsh
And Labor-Demanding Field;
Not agriculturally harsh
But planters forcing to fitness wield …
Rice farmers decide to be rude,
A hundred in an ugly mood.
“Blast Mr. President for lowering prices!
He shall helpless watch be as...

Mushrooming Private Churches In Aba
Close to a scandalous ten thousand,
A reproach to the late Reverend Townsend;
All with their advertising megaphones,
And big dreams-nursing microphones …
In my town of domicile
With odds one can’t reconcile
Which I had some time walked miles
With my...

When
Does your heart ever ache?
When,
you realise unavailing efforts make you drain.
you see how helpless you are in pain.
you think there is no escape but death .
you realise death is not an escape.
you know you have...

Insults
Utterances offering the wrong ideas
Like murder-planning spears:
To their recipient an enough sting
But to the source songs to freely sing
The seventy-two teeth of crocodile,
Together jammed and survival is for a while;
Participating voices ascending mountain tops
Like they...

No Longer Yet Forever
How can a mere mortal poet
Ever truly capture
In mere mortal words
The true nature of love?
How to describe the sensations
That go whirling through the funnel
Of one's being like a vortex,
Or the deep-rooted primal feelings
That shake mere...

Untitled 11
This old love is unendurable:
its bough breaks in the breeze;
its frosted buds crack and splinter;
it's a heart stitched to a razor sleeve;
its wrists split and bleed and stain
like a shadow escaping whilst being
illuminated by the...
