Long Unknot Poems

It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

It sharks, 
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

What goes up
must come down.
What goes out
must come in.
What goes before
must have also come behind.
What folds
must unfold.
When time is knotted
it must unknot.
When space explains radiantly
convexly
then time implies mutually gravitationally and cooperatively,
and concavely.
What information organizes square...

would you guide me?
be my golden thread, lead me through the labyrinth of my own mind,
help me travel through the deadly twists and turns,
would you protect me from the beasts inside?
i am empty, a shell,...

is the window
to unknot the twigs of tainted trees,
where cuffed anklets
around the star-struck skin of
seraphic silhouettes
feel the suppressed sighs
of the ice-moon,
while
cocooned in a nest
of clamorous...

I have not eaten today,
But my heart is filled
Not hungry of affection.
I had a fill of you last night
A fill of you for a life time

All around us are walking corpses
Corpses of political disregard
Humans of...

In joy I unknot the slip
As it slides down
The silk softness in her frowned
Anticipation! 

Crumbling to lewd gestures 
I falter in lust 
To unbecoming finesse
Within coaxed passion;

Plunged and enticed with the thrills
In liquid unction
Yields, bow...

Eagerly we wait,-
As early as the sun mount,-
At the harbor’s plank.

After a short while…

We heard the Ferry’s hail
And shouted us, to come up!-
With our kits and bags!

While on the ship…

I look down and wave.
Then some...

A LOST AFRICAN CHILD

You lost African child,
Who will find you in the wood?
What is your name and whose
Name are you bearing, your mother's or father's?
Do you know where your home town is?
Do you know that...

Carry the burdens
Too long
Not knowing when 
To give up

Especially there is nothing
Worth keeping
No reason to fight for it

Showering me 
Nothing but pain
Embedded in me
Driving my anger so wild

But they are already gone
Probably shifted to another...

The Door of Solitude

It was the door I remember most it had been 
optimistic green once but now dripped of rots
only tears can produce. Like walking into a portal 
you know if the door opens...

People do things without thought.
Every action and word are random.
The tangled web we try to unknot.
Leaves us crying, us not being able to unwound. 

Now we have filled ourselves with pure boredom.
It is like a...

Allow me the time …
To stand and stare,
To ponder on the how and where,
To lose myself in thoughtfulness,
To unknot my mind’s tangled mess,
To consider and to meditate,
To transform into a Zen like state,
To notice reflections...

Need there’s to smile nor cry in life,
What will, will by and by in life.

Bank to bank lifeboats ply in life,
Still, the same boats must die in life. 

One must swim, cannot fly in life
Whilst...

I thank u a thousand 
times......
For breaking up!
Because I'm too simple for 
this complicated world...
A fool unable to unknot the 
web of relations...
A born-optimist always 
hoping for fruitful yields...
An insane who sees value in 
everything...

But...

Unbake the cake
unring the bell
unknot the noose
unbreak the spell
       we're on our way
the ship has sailed
the winds of wonder have prevailed
it feels so good to breathe the air
