Long Unforeseeable Poems

“Inside the Great Halls of Us”



Inside 
The Great Halls of Us,
there resides a ghost 

IT hides in plain sight,
waiting quietly, alone, 
in our dark

there, IT holds ITs light,
to draw us further in,
we nervously laugh IT...

so many unknown variables to consider for such a tasking pursuit

a conditional ‘If’ but what if ‘whether’ reigns in a supreme challenge

conjectures battle refutations and synapses blocked in surrender

as long as suppositions succeeded in their...

Ancient Greek and Roman Epigrams I

Wall, we're astonished that you haven't collapsed,
since you're holding up verses so prolapsed!
Ancient Roman graffiti, translation by Michael R. Burch

You begrudge men your virginity?
Why? To what purpose?
You will find no...

BOOK 1


Proem
Nature, as one to another it seems bad omens,
envois, at entering at this stage of preliminary
dictates our way of thinking, worship saddens;
He, who follows many years, having mastered

A giant magnet for young and old
Its many mysteries to unfold
For dipping toes in ebb and flow
Revealing wonders deep below
Calm and still like mirrored glass
Then raging wild a storm can blast
Giving pleasure, causing grief
Magnificent colour...

I would rather be at that moment
When we sang our first duet
Words came so smoothly to our lips
Interlinking thoughts and feelings
We wrote deeply from the heart and soul
Every idea danced and played music to our...

When it's raining I feel mad and sad
The continuous hamming of the raindrops
As if echoes of my distant ghostly past
As they hit the roof top of my room
Like taunts from an invisible mocker
The darkness when...

The white antique porcelain bowl
your mother gave us
has blue veins that wander over its surface.
Holding it up to the light I also see
there are fine cracks here and there.

Age has made it more interesting,
more worth...

A prediction for the unforeseeable     
the somehow mishaps inescapable
and accidental omen to avoid
the illogical cat's-paw of capricious fate
irregular in it’s certainty
and a trip into oblivion's insecurity

And quick with madness comes within...

SCENE OF ADULTERY

At the far edge of a town,
Where all roads lose their tracks,
There is a tavern that camps all birds.

The ones that fly away from their cages.
Singing songs of freedom,
Flapping their wings to the...

An attack of this magnitude
was completely unforeseeable;
and who thought that an unguarded city
had to feel that sense of solitude...
through an urealistic exodus so undiscernible,
and later reclaim its struck territory!

What we lost...is not the superb Twin...

Thunderous palpitations upon benign sedaments,
Miscreants vindicate with justice of six cents.
A vociferous tyrannosaurus bursts sickly
Sanitized wives and rodents scurry very

Sedately towards dainty cliffs and heights
Of unforeseeable depths-withered sights.
A Persian rug is spread across garnered grounds...

Remove me from the living beings
Or them from me. What is my relevance?
Without them, my existence has no meaning
So why is it that there is existence, Why do we exist?
Our primal instinct to survive is...

I gaze upon a beauty
that I can never grasp.
You are forever changing
as the years drift pass.

Shrouded by night, suspended
in darkness so I appear to you.
Bathed in light, watched by another
and I hide from view.

A Mother,...

To speak the unspeakable
           Will I ever get to tell you
The truth will set you free

Just stop thinking about it,
Don't bother losing yourself to it,
Stop getting your mind overclouded
Don't overthink about it.

Past's not gonna change
Present's in your hand,
Future's awaiting you,
So does it take that long for you to realise;
Time always...

Have you seen changing of colours?
World shifting thoughts without insight
Mellifluous tones making way for cacophony
Drums buried beneath shambles,
And people returning to the jungle,
Craving roots and leaves
As life becomes spooky affair
The world changing patterns,
As beauty becomes...

There are things that were never said.
After this loss is inexplicable, heart wrenching, sad.
Nobody expected you to vanish, to leave us behind.
I'm just looking for an outlet, for a way to unwind.
All that's left are...
