Long Unuttered Poems

Day 1:
Indistinguishable from the next
Yet placed in a pocket
Decisions made to be kept
Yet I feel I give nothing
For I am a stone after all
It's my life's work
To ponder my worth 
So tiring I mostly sit...

In the undulations of thought, a whisper of freedom is born,
Like a silver river carving its path through cliffs of prejudice,
Whispering truths that ache, yet heal in their profound silence.
Words, those rebellious birds with wings...

A night, again, in waking sleep,
Unuttered words that write the wall
From depths of darkness figures creep
Beneath the million fathom fall

Unspeakable the dreams that fright
The squinted eyes belie the wake
Beneath the sheets to flee the fight
And...

Break the fire  that burns the soul
Never couple the blood unless it is hot,
The scented motion are fire proof in the oceans
Where the weeds are the king of the grasses.
Days of unholy beast of...

In the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,
like a cipher's dark emerge,
thorns burst contradiction piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

A seed of love rests dormant in my heart.
Unable to get it sprout on fertile grounds,
It still lies thick and hard like a dried nut.
Can I hope, a cool shower of rain will soak it,
Causing...

Chasing dreams for memories,
with bold stroke,
eyes are set toward an uncertain goal
that launches souls afloat
down a river never traveled.
A river of doubt.

Under the dark forest canopy
the cacophony 
of natures symphony
is unusually silent.
Only imaginations din
rings in...

No words

In the dim-lit bar, where shadows play, She walked in with a mystique, stealing my gaze, Long blonde hair cascading like Sol’s veil, Thighs like poetry, eyes that set the tale. 

Silent gazes, hearts...

Friendly faces, cheery grins, words, and noises,
Trivially significant, a haze of voices.

Events that transpired, plans in the pipeline,
Unpredictably predictable, a cloud benign.

Emphatic opinions, clear judgement,
Harmless prosecutions, just a refreshment.

I find myself, right in the middle,
My...

With fanciful thoughts swarming like locusts,
When my mind runs bizarre, I look for a quiet spot
To sit and jot them down, not bothering if they ring or rhyme

At times, like gurgling streams, so noisy, they...

Hurdles have been a battle of compromises,
worse than thistles growing in my grass;
they prick me when I weed them out;
and I bleed on them when I'm fraught.

Two souls crossed this long path of sultry stillness,

Bitten by love bug,
my heart swells with edema
my love, like gnawing anxiety,
burdens me.
Like a knotty noose,
stifles me
Like a watch dog,
follows me 

Like an inalienable shadow,
always with me!
When I turn around,
it is right behind!
It lingers in...

To you, He is many things, too numerous to mention
But for now, He's a confidant beyond and above all others
He's the God whom you have learned to acknowledge and love
Not a human with whom at...

What have you done to your eager young sons
where will they hide now from the searing sun
and what Jordan river will wash off their pain
your gods were forgotten in your hurry to aim
and the holiest...

Consideration of angles
The seeing of self, just off centre
Catching a glimpse
Everyone can be a magical creature
From a certain vantage point
Or at the right moment in time
And those moments, are oh so wonderful
To experience
Sometimes captured through...

Quite far we have traversed, in pursuit of goals we chose,
Through troubles and trepidations of seasons in throes;
Sometimes reveling sunshine, sometime in glum of shadows,
Always together~ on barren terrains, or verdant meadows.
 
In albums of...

You don't know your smile makes my heart run a mile
When you look at me the past runs like the river Nile
You don't know that your voice ,your eyes and your touch make me envy...

'Going going gone 
Says the ticking clock
For each breaking day draws 
A man closer to his end.'
The true essence of time

Efosa, his mother had named him at birth.
For against all odds, 
She too has...

Spring’s Abysmal Guile
By Sy Roth

A vapor rises, rank as the charnel pit,
a corruption of a miasma vast,
as though some sepulcher, long sealed,
split its stony jaws to breathe.
Vile exhalation of a corrupted world.  

The reveler,...

Pulse...zenith...drums...a shattering shudder
Words...Zion...neat...the platter unuttered
Thoughts zealots speak that magnets can't cover

Hatred, Hatred, Hatred and then...
What one friend begins as trend then ends as...
That someone that spins untruths as hints of...
Those that one two their meaning
Like...

Lush stubby grass bends and sways
A perfect place to spend our day 
Forever, it is spread, beneath our feet
Green carpet as far as the eye can see 
Encompassing silence with its prickly touch
The sky so...

There's no need for heartfelt goodbyes,
Nor tears, though they may cloud your parting.
I wish to see it with my very eyes,
Convince myself that life is just restarting--
That everything will stay the same,
And you will find...

A stillness settles around them,
a self-imposed hush.
Words unspool in the mind,
arguments formed, stories waiting,
but the lips remain a sealed seam.

What landscapes lie behind that quiet facade?
A battlefield of unspoken hurts?
A garden of carefully guarded dreams?
Or...

My ears are sealed, forever bound by quiet/
A world of stillness, no sound can riot/
Yet my mind pulses, alive and aware/
With whispers and images you unknowingly share/
Every thought, unspoken and raw/
Every dream, every flaw/
They flow...

They’re not for you
Nor you for them
Unwritten words from unwritten pens

Like shades of white 
Blanks on a page
Unwritten words in an unwritten age

They speak in volumes
Though tongues may fail
Unwritten words that tell no tale

The poem...
