Long Unsought Poems

CIVIL RIGHTS
Four Colored Girls
You whisper before dawn
The silence of visible light
Singing God's hymn infinitely in time.
Your words are a reflection of mourning
Not knowing foreshadowing history
We share your agony
We share your pain
A mirror image of your...

A midnight shriek or sudden bang
Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind
With sounds of lashing flails.

Wherefrom it comes, whither it goes?
I threw my eyes up there,
The eerie void soon called me up
To trudge down...

As the dusk approaches, with a fusk grunt on his face,
He realizes he has to do what's right;
To save his people from the treacherous minotaur maze,
To risk his life for people in vain.
As the sail...

This imprisonment of clay, 
this putrid jarred tint subjected to time's defeat, 
this cankered vile contagion. 
tossed to and fro as on a sea with unrelenting  anchorage of ease, 
this worm, ephemeral in the...

“Is there any gift more precious than the gift of love by those who blessed us with the gift of life”! 
by the Poet

When December comes,
Memories stir up unsought....
Once caught in its whirl
I sink down...

I wake to a monochrome world and I yawn
The reds, greens and yellows awaiting the dawn
Out on the water, my luminous float
Rides unseen ripples in fear of no boat

This morning my roof is my fishing...

Oh Sweet Island!  Thou tropical paradise:
   Miles have I traced upon thy ceaseless reach
Of ocean-choked shorelines owed Heav’nly device
   Sheltering I, this marooned guest on thine endless beach.
Safe House against...

In the supine chambers of my mind: 
Thoughts of different hues spring up unsought
They crisscross like fireflies in the dark  
Dancing virtually 3D all night

Love isn’t always reciprocal
In several cases; many will vouch.
One way...

Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery
Almost none were aware they were playing

Assaulted by the poisons that save them 
Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought

Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

In the brown leaves lie my valentine memory

In the sands of the dried up river my nudity

In the scent of jasmine garden your naked gravity

Who says the river flows for ever, never


What goes on until...

This is midnight, all slept indeed,
  The factory bells do chime,
Ding-dong dong, thrice the sounds arise
  From yonder darkling clime.
No one is there, two faint lamps glare,
  Who rang the rusty bell?

I smile to the world
And enjoy the warm glance
That is returned to me!

I smile to the world
With a sparkle in my gaze
A sparkle having been placed there
On purpose
Meant to give the world
A hearty jolt
A jolt,...

As your wicked fingers crawl onto the tightened metal,
I feel myself loosing control, reminiscing my presence
as if it is the holy lord's forbidden prayer,
That is toxic, yet it shows me the unknown fantasies...
As those pointed...

(chorus)
All life seems so 
dissapointing.
All you do 
is social anointing.
All life seems so
unfulfilling.
All you do
is social killing.

The generations
And the future 
Are in your hands
Taking you further
Than you've ever been
You're in so much demand
Taking every child...

Is this all?

Life is a country, spread before us at birth, its
Vistas stretching beyond the horizon, full of 
Mystery and anticipation. 

In the distance lie mountain ranges, 
Tall peaks of passion; this one the mother...

Hidden though unsought
Ran from myself
Still got caught.
Mind, Body, Soul wrought.
Vengeance no longer mine
And yet I insist to ungently reside
Within the "desperate to love or to be" walls of my own heart.

Most continue to disrespect my...

The inevitable word ‘come’ coined by destiny, 
embeds in the nascent awareness at a time precisely 
when the eyes open to the distant lighthouse light,
journey begins with the warping waves out of sight. 

The echo...

you've broken me in ways I can't recount
unloved, uncherished, and unsought am I
the anguish of my soul I can't surmount
the pounding of my heart an echoed, "Why?"

You were possessed, you were obsessed with me

Far from the prodding eyes
         
He toiled,
with the wits and strength of men, 
like thousand armies, 
He bore the world with words
Till mortal frame fell,
dying to all...

Such wondrous beauty held in eyes divine, 
I wish this lovely night would stay, be kind, 
So blissful are her eyes...I need no wine, 
Nothing to match her beauty can I find. 

The morning sun...

Love they spout, love they falsely declare, 
Yet their eyes betray a darkness, a glare.
A cocktail of hatred, lust, and envy, 
Craving what's not theirs, God deems unholy.

Love they proclaim, a charade so grand, 
Indulging...

Far away, over the monstrous gray summits
As dusking shadows crept stealthily on,
When night had turned more stygian
And glow worms had begun throwing flickers of light
Like sequins stitched onto a flowing velvet gown,
When night sky had...

Lost I am, I know
A piece of wreck, 
yet to strike the shore.

Meanwhile, beaten , n lashed,
For eons since the cruise crashed.
