Long Unsullied Poems

I’m a lost sheep in godly sleep
He nurtures me like His child – I’m feelin’ fine
I’m a joyful sheep in godly sleep
Dead leaves of dried hope and fervor-lacking faith...

“The God Complex”



His face imprinted 
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words

like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

once-in-a-while 
reminding them of stories 
they are eventually, all souls

When I was very little, a lion lived under my bed ...

It sounds cute and funny now, but then it was a
Very real thing, and that lion terrorized me. Where
Did that lion come from? It...

Over yonder pastoral realms, with heaving mounds of green
Birds of variegated colors shine, where.streamlets gleam with opal sheen.
In circles round, fleetfooted Zephyr sweeps the laurelled ground
With footfalls that loom, a sweet scented voluptuous sound
Which gently strike...

Strategically placed when raised 
Upwards
By your masterful and well 
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing 
Skylines 
That frown down with arrogant 
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of 
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon...

It was glorious ...

A glorious, glowing morn ...
crimson crept up the sky, as if air-brushed ...

(so as to not wake the moon, laying down its head...

"The Strict Machine"




Take a note 
pick up your sharpened quill
tap dance your screen
your mind like 
a Magpie's beak 
a Silent Epiphany
One, 
Two and

a Silent Jackhammer 
pneumatic drill 
Blackbirds fly off the page
they're swooping for the...

Was never sure whether or not to laugh, smile or cry when
auntie came to tea, a matriarch she, wearing white gloves

(When I am due)

As the clock pulses impulsively to tag time along,

Upon an emerald carpet of meads, she genuflected with gathered grace
Of languished bones and reverence plucked from nunhood hearts.

Oh! May the...

A  shape-shifter of the heart she leads us a merry dance, 
Giggling girlishly from behind a golden mask...
One moment she is a capricious imp, 
Pinching...

Remnants left upon the shore

Reflecting beneath the sunlight

That bathes them now, from beyond the once obscure depths

Shimmering and glistening, souvenirs to soon be found and held

SPHINX STONE 

I am Sphinx Stone
Sun stationed statue
silent sculptured synoptic 
not marble or granite

Thou shall always be embraced and recalled
Until my soul gets rid of my mortal body,
Till the...

That which can cause trees swing side by side.
