Liatra

Pasha Acremodios grew greedy,
discontented with the domain he dominated,
so he turned covetous eyes toward Farabia,
sending his soldiers to seize this ripened plum

Spoiling for a fight and fighting for spoils,
his army swept across Farabia
like a bloody...

Incomplete Metamorphosis of Distilled Adolescent

Incomplete metamorphosis of distilled adolescent...

therefore he characterizes himself as an anomaly...any idea why?

Mortified, petrified, stultified, et cetera sheltered, 
and mortally wounded prepubescent,

I consider myself
analogously buttressed, cocooned,
garrisoned (for bing keeler), 
hardened, insulated,
where cell baited jumping frog

Hypothetically, What If I a Born Again Atheist

Hypothetically, what if I (a born again atheist)...
tentatively took page from playbook of devout believers...

Allowing, enabling, and providing
cautious optimism to abound
thus easing grief instead
reason to rejoice found
once corpse cremated
or buried underground.

Whereby reincarnation will eventually...
mitigate grief...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Ii

Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over 
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

WHEELCHAIR BOUND

 WHEELCHAIR BOUND

Dots appeared and disappeared 
a single sunray flashed onto 
wheelspokes, canvas seat 
 comfortably frayed 
bought secondhand
her unexercised legs flabby 
window bars rusted, panes cracked
nobody cared

there she sat thinking about 
cooking porridge with...

Mark Anthony and Cleopatra-3

The Egyptian standard falls, unto histories surrendering, 
The deserts breath, is so stilled,  under the Nile river's
Murky abyss, busted masts, heave against the 
Heavily laden hauls,taring the ships apart,
As the Egyptian fleet sinks beneath...

Unwritten Absence

For long I have been an aimless vagabond
I strayed far, the world being enormously wide.
Traveling to lands foreign, I searched my fortune.
At the end, fed up with all that was alien,
And wishing to withdraw from...

Malarkey

he was making so much turbulence

that he needed windbreaker trousers

his farting more than gas from cheeks

but a fluid blown attack on decency

and common sense in torrential times


full of ..it he let go off all inhibition

THE CRACK ON THE WALL

The pillar of which I stand has fallen
After you bed my sister and, the world
Has gone against you before I do.
You singer of royal song, your drums are
Dumb to my ears...

Uncertainty

The sound she heard before was deafening
Curiosity made her seek the sound 
Thinking it was an act of joking
Up the stairs she began to look around
Not seeing anything at first she called out
Not getting a...

Summer Wishes

Fresh cherries ripened upon the weeping bough,
alive with rustic sheen, taut of skin;
perfect teeth cleave through the surface flesh
and spit away unpalatable stone;
for it has no meaning,
existing to be discarded, forgotten.
Yet without it
there would be...

We Betrayed Our Master Again

Submerged in a rat race, to keep the number high. 

compromised the truth of the Prince of Peace, 

imported science, liberalism and other form of philosophies. 

to obscure the simplicity of the gospel,

Biblical illiterates lulled...

Crazy Love

Nestled somewhere inside my
head, next to pictures of you,
are tiny tidbits, crumbs have you,
of conversations. Pauses as I 
watched you be.  Smells of
cigarette smoke and scented candles.
Like strobe lights, they flicker
on and off, leaving...

Too Big To Fail

Emerging from cooperative economic indecision,
a leftwinged political decision
"Too big to fail"
is also our unecological rightwinged euphemism
for a politically unpalatable
"Too rich to fail."

This has nothing healthy
or equitable to do with democratic community,
with non-violent solidarity,
with green communion,

A Bottled Note To Tomorrows Occupants of Earth

Our ashes have settled on the cliff of pride
while the seed of today sprouts your frailty beginning.
We have at last seen the face of our god
which you have not even learned to utter

I Guess We are who we are
Headlight shine in darkness
Let my emotions drives on
Never in the mood to react
Don't place the horrible blame on me

We search into our separate past
